What Are Skin Boosters?
Let’s break it down: skin boosters are injectable hydrators, typically made with hyaluronic acid (HA). Instead of adding volume or dramatically altering contours like traditional fillers, skin boosters work to hydrate and improve skin texture from the inside out.
The magic lies in the injection technique. Using fine needles, a dermatologist will inject a solution of hyaluronic acid directly into the dermis. Unlike surface treatments, this approach delivers hydration at the deeper layers of the skin.
Popular Types of Skin Boosters
With a range of options available, here are some of the most popular skin boosters right now:
- Restylane Skinboosters: Ideal for all-over hydration and elasticity, and suitable for treating the face, neck, and even hands.
- Juvéderm Volite: Known for long-lasting hydration (up to nine months!), it’s perfect if you want that “just moisturized” look to last.
- Profhilo: With one of the highest HA concentrations, Profhilo hydrates deeply and boosts collagen and elastin production to firm the skin.
- Teosyal Redensity I: Not just hydration—this one includes antioxidants and vitamins to combat aging and improve skin texture.
- Belotero Revive: Combined with glycerol, it’s designed to lock in moisture, enhance elasticity, and soften fine lines.
What Can Skin Boosters Do for Your Skin?
So, why all the hype? Skin boosters offer benefits that go beyond a temporary glow. With regular sessions, skin boosters can also improve texture, soften fine lines, and enhance skin firmness. Plus, they’re versatile enough to be used on multiple areas, including the face, neck, décolletage, hands, and more.
Are Skin Boosters Right for You?
Skin boosters are ideal if you’re looking for hydration and radiance without altering your facial structure or adding volume. They’re generally safe when administered by professionals and can be combined with other treatments like Botox or laser therapy for a more comprehensive treatment plan.
For anyone wanting that “lit-from-within” glow, these treatments are a great option to consider!
