Skin Boosters

Hyaluronic Acid Skin Boosters

Plain hyaluronic acid skin booster is a gel substance made of hyaluronic acid which is a natural compound found within our skin. It mimics the ‘water’ retaining function our skin needs to stay hydrated.

Unlike normal dermal fillers, the hyaluronic acid used in skin boosters is not cross linked. Which means they do not have the capacity to bind under the skin creating shape. They act like liquid and spread once injected into the skin, almost like an injectable skin care product.

There is second function with skin boosters aside from providing hydration, which is a process know as neocollagenesis; which is the production of new collagen. Your skin goes through micro trauma during the treatment process which encourages new cells to form, giving you ‘new’ and more youthful skin.

There are different types of skin boosters, some with additional ingredients like peptides, amino acids, vitamins etc. Because skin boosters do not have the capacity to bind and create shape, you do not have the risk of being over filled like normal dermal fillers.

For best results its recommend to have 3 treatments 4-6 weeks apart as your initial treatment protocol with any where from 8-12 week maintenance. You can treat skin boosters with the same maintenance regime as you would a facial, the more you do the better your collagen, skin health and hydration will be.

Please note the downtime can greatly vary. Often a 2-4 days of redness, possible bruising.

Not safe for pregnancy or breast feeding.

ALL Skin Booster PRE & Post Treatment Care

Treatment cannot commence if you have had any resurfacing skin treatment under 2 weeks prior.
If you have an active cold sore (even if not in the area of injection) please contact your injector to reschedule your appointment.
If you are sick with any viral or bacterial infection, please contact your injector to reschedule your appointment (this puts both Injector and yourself at risk).
Avoid sun exposure to your face in the 48 hours preceding your treatment.
Avoid consumption of alcohol within 24 hours prior to treatment.
On the day of the treatment, maintain a clean face and abstain from applying makeup.
If you are currently taking blood thinners, aspirin, or any medication that may increase your propensity to bleed easily, please inform your Nurse prior to treatment. Never cease a medication without consulting with your GP first.
Please ensure you have eaten and had fluids at least 2 hours prior to coming in. This will ensure you don’t feel faint particularly if you do not like needles.
If you are prone to frequent cold sores, we recommend an antiviral within 12 hours pre/post the treatment.
If you are feeling unwell, are taking antibiotics, have a flare up of an autoimmune condition, recently had a vaccination/booster shot or recently had any dental work please contact your practitioner and advise prior to your treatment.

POST CARE

You can expect redness, small lumps, possible bruising and general facial swelling post treatment. Often redness and lumps will subside within 24-48 hours, some lumps may last up to 3-4 days in rare cases but will always subside.

Do not touch your face 6hrs post treatment, it is important you do not introduce bacteria into the channels that have been opened in your skin causing a possible infection. Avoid makeup for 24hrs. You can gentle wash your face the evening after your treatment and apply a light serum or moisturiser. Make sure you use a clean bath towel and pillow case.

Avoid all skin care actives like glycolic/retinol etc, all facials or facial treatments for 2 weeks. It is normal to experience a ‘shedding’ phase 3-6 days post, you may also feel dry or flakey. This is normal, keep up adequate moisturising and hydration.

Skin will look its best after 5-7 days with results continuing to improve over the following weeks as your collagen is stimulated. For best results 3 treatments spaced 4-8 weeks apart will give the best regenerative skin results with 8-12 week maintenance or as desired. Skin maintenance should be treated like hair care or exercise, the more you invest, the results will compound producing more collagen and elastin resulting in younger looking, firmer, brighter skin.

If you experience any significant itching or swelling you can take an antihistamine only if you are able to tolerate them and contact your practitioner.

Under Eye Skin Booster

Post Treatment Care

You can expect redness, small lumps, possible spot bruising and under eye swelling post treatment. You will be puffy under your eyes (worse first thing in the morning). You want to encourage lymphatic drainage of the face, you can lightly massage the face after 24hrs. Often redness and lumps will subside within 2-3 days. You have a high concentration of hyaluronic acid in your booster that attracts water so puffiness may last up to 5-8 days in rare cases, this is apart of the process but will always subside.

Avoid all skin care actives like glycolic/retinol etc, all facials or facial treatments for 2 weeks. Keep out of the sun and avoid swimming and saunas for 48hrs.

Skin will look its best after 7-14 days with results continuing to improve over the following weeks as your collagen is stimulated. For best results 3 treatments spaced 6-8 weeks apart will give the best regenerative skin results with 8-12 week maintenance or as desired.
