Skin boosters
Skin boosters are injectable treatments designed to improve hydration and skin quality by delivering hyaluronic acid into the skin. They may be considered for people concerned about dryness or changes in skin texture. Results vary, and a qualified practitioner will determine whether this treatment is suitable for you.
What are skin boosters?
Skin boosters are injectable treatments that deliver hydrating substances, such as hyaluronic acid, into the skin. The aim is to improve skin hydration and support skin quality over time.
Who may consider this treatment?
Skin boosters may be considered by people who are concerned about skin dryness, changes in texture, or loss of elasticity. A consultation with a registered health professional is needed to assess suitability based on your skin type, medical history, and treatment goals.
What does the treatment involve?
-
Small amounts of product are injected into the skin using fine needles.
-
A topical anaesthetic cream may be applied for comfort.
-
Treatment time is usually around 30 minutes, depending on the area treated.
-
A series of sessions is often recommended, followed by maintenance treatments.
How does the treatment feel?
You may feel mild stinging or pressure during injections. Most people tolerate the procedure well with numbing cream.
When will I notice changes?
Some people notice changes within a few weeks, but outcomes develop gradually and vary between individuals. More than one session may be needed.
What is the recovery time?
Temporary redness, swelling, or small bumps at injection sites are common and usually resolve within a few days. Most people can return to normal activities shortly after treatment.
Risks and considerations
As with all injectable procedures, there are risks. These may include redness, bruising, swelling, infection, allergic reaction, or vascular complications. Your practitioner will discuss these with you, as well as alternative treatment options, during your consultation.
