A bitesize glimpse into skin boosters

 Skin boosters : A bite size glimpse to the future of anti-aging…

Skin boosters have revolutionised the aesthetic industry and have really bought things forward in natural and understated facial enhancements and anti-aging. 
Long gone are the days where faces are simply filled with syringes and syringes of dermal filler. In fact, the majority of today’s population  prefer a more artistically enhanced and natural looking way of bringing out their best features and this is where skin boosters have capitalised a niche in todays aesthetic industry. 

What are skin boosters?
Skin boosters are comprised of a gel-like substance which contains hyaluronic acid. They are injected underneath the surface of the skin where they work to up-regulate the production of collagen and elastin by stimulating fibroblast activity. Unlike dermal fillers, the hyaluronic acid concentration of skin boosters is not cross linked It is therefore not as thick and viscous and is more thinner and free-flowing  underneath the surface of the skin when injected.

How do skin boosters work?
When injected underneath the surface of the skin, many skin boosters have a bio-stimulating affect on the molecular components which are underneath the surface of the skin. They work to up-regulate fibroblast activity which stimulates the production of collagen and elastin and hyaluronic acid as well. These molecules are essential for maintaining skin integrity, youthfulness, hydration, plumpness and counteracting the negative effects of aging which are visible as skin surface creasing, wrinkling and dehydration of the skin. 

What are the top five benefits of skin boosters?
There are countless benefits of having skin boosters as part of your aesthetic treatments but if a top five were to be summarised, they would be as follows: 

1. They are fantastic at increasing the hydration level of the skin and therefore really good if you feel that you are are suffering with dehydrated skin or skin lacking lustre and you want a desirable, hydrated glow-glow and glass-skin effect. 

2. They work over time to gradually diminish any surface creasing and wrinkles as well so if you feel you have crepey skin, experiencing the first signs of aging or simply want to take your first steps to prevent aging then these will work really well 

3. They are a highly versatile treatment and can be injected in many different places from the neck and décolletage to the hands and across the face as well, in fact  wherever your target area of concern is.  Profhilo structura can be injected  across the body areas like the abdomen, thighs and knees. Seventy hyal can also be injected in the hands and décolletage aswell as the knees and Sunekos performa delivers fantastic results around the eye areas and across the face as well for contouring, lifting, hydrating and firming the skin and diminishing crows feet lines. 

4. under-eye skin boosters work fantastic results for treatment of dark under-eye circles and surface creasing.

5. Skin boosters like Profhilo can work really well to tighten and lift the skin as well, especially for beneficial effects like contouring across certain areas of the face like the jawline and cheeks and delivering a subtle youthful enhancement which lifts and tightens facial areas, it is also shown to soften naso-labial lines and producing secondary effects on reducing under-eye shadowing and dark circles. 

How long do the results last?
Skin boosting effects can last anywhere from 6 to 9 months.  How often you can have them can be from 2 to 3 treatments spaced four weeks apart and after that you could have them at regular intervals throughout the year If you wish upon consultation.

What happens during the treatment?

Sun protection

  Sun protection explained  The skin is exposed to a number of different rays directly from the sun. These include UVA rays which are generally more longer wavelength rays followed by UVB rays which have shorter wavelength rays but higher energy levels.  The UVB rays cause direct damage within  the  skin cell surface layers and DNA within the skin through oxidative stress by the radiation on the skin and this can result in aging of the skin, wrinkles, skin cancers and indirect DNA damage. It is therefore important to ensure that appropriate sun protection measures are taken when the skin is exposed to external radiation and elements which are capable of inflicting oxidative stress on the skin and damage.
