Skinboosters

Skinboosters are injectable treatments that improve the hydration, elasticity and luminosity of the skin without modifying the facial volume, providing a natural and progressive rejuvenation.

What are skinboosters?

Skinboosters are injectable treatments designed to improve the quality of the skin from within.

Their main objective is not to provide volume or modify the facial features, but to deeply hydrate the skin, improve its elasticity, increase its luminosity and favour a healthier and more rejuvenated appearance.

They are an excellent option for patients who wish to improve skin quality while maintaining a completely natural result.

How do they act?

Over the years, the skin's capacity to retain water and produce collagen and elastin decreases.

Skinboosters act by improving the environment of the dermis, favouring deep hydration, greater elasticity, better texture, more luminosity and softer, more uniform skin.

Depending on the product used, some skinboosters also stimulate the natural processes of skin regeneration.

What problems can they improve?

Skinboosters are indicated for dehydrated skin, loss of luminosity, initial skin ageing, fine wrinkles, decreased elasticity, dull skin and photoageing.

They are not designed to correct large wrinkles or to provide facial volume.

In which areas can they be applied?

Depending on the characteristics of the patient, they can be used in:

  • Face.
  • Neck.
  • Décolletage.
  • Back of the hands.
  • Eye contour.
  • Some selected body areas.

The indication will depend on the medical assessment.

Who can benefit?

They are suitable for people who wish to improve the quality of their skin, present initial signs of ageing, seek a fresher and more rested appearance, want to prevent skin ageing or prefer discreet and natural treatments.

They can also be used as a complement to other aesthetic medicine procedures.

How is the treatment performed?

After a medical evaluation, the product is administered through multiple superficial micro-injections distributed uniformly in the treated area. In some cases a cannula can also be used, depending on the product and the chosen technique.

The session usually lasts between 20 and 40 minutes.

When are the results observed?

The hydration usually begins to be appreciated during the first days. The improvement of the texture, elasticity and luminosity continues to develop progressively over the following weeks.

How long do the results last?

The duration depends on the product used, age, skin type, lifestyle habits and the treated area.

In many patients the results are maintained between 6 and 12 months, although periodic maintenance sessions may be recommended.

What benefits do they offer?

Skinboosters make it possible to improve deep hydration, increase luminosity, soften small wrinkles, improve elasticity, refine the texture of the skin and achieve a healthier and more rested appearance.

All this without modifying the facial features.

Are there side effects?

Like any medical procedure, mild and temporary side effects can appear: redness, inflammation, small bruises and sensitivity at the injection points.

They usually disappear in a few days.

What care should be followed afterwards?

After the treatment it is usually recommended to avoid intense physical exercise during the first 24 hours, avoid saunas and intense heat, avoid intense sun exposure during the first days, not manipulate the treated area and follow the indications of the doctor.

Can they be combined with other treatments?

Yes. They are frequently combined with neuromodulators, hyaluronic acid, collagen biostimulators, polynucleotides, medical lasers, medical peels and skin regeneration therapies.

The combination makes it possible to address different aspects of ageing in an integral way.

When to consult?

It is advisable to request an assessment when the skin has lost luminosity, you notice persistent dehydration, you observe a progressive loss of elasticity, you wish to prevent skin ageing or you seek a natural rejuvenation without modifying the volume of the face.

Myths and facts

  • Myth: Skinboosters increase the volume of the face. Fact: No. Their main purpose is to improve the quality and hydration of the skin.
  • Myth: The results are artificial. Fact: Precisely, one of their main objectives is to maintain a completely natural appearance.
  • Myth: They are only indicated in older people. Fact: They can also be used preventively in young patients with dehydrated or photoaged skin.
  • Myth: A single session is enough forever. Fact: The results are not permanent and usually require periodic maintenance.
  • Myth: All products are the same. Fact: There are different formulations adapted to different needs and anatomical areas.
