Skin boosters are a non-surgical cosmetic treatments that involve injecting highly active skin hydrating, thickening and collagenating components into the skin. Skin boosters are very concentrated and will cause changes in skin’s appearance way sooner then Mesotherapy or Biorevitalization.

Here are the benefits of skin boosters offered by Activate Skin: 

  1. Hydrates  and  plumps the skin: Skin boosters contain hyaluronic acid, which is a natural substance found in the body that helps to retain moisture in the skin. By injecting hyaluronic acid into the skin, skin boosters can help to improve skin hydration and give a more radiant and youthful appearance.
  2. Improves Skin Texture: Skin boosters can also help to improve skin texture by reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and other imperfections. By stimulating collagen production, skin boosters can help to plump up the skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
  3. Reduces Scarring: Skin boosters can be used to reduce the appearance of scars, including acne scars. By filling in the depressed areas of the skin, skin boosters can help to even out the skin texture and improve the overall appearance of the skin.
  4. Enhances Skin Elasticity: As we age, our skin loses its elasticity, which can lead to sagging and wrinkles. Skin boosters can help to restore skin elasticity by stimulating collagen production and increasing the skin's natural moisture levels.
  5. Non-Invasive: Skin boosters are a non-invasive cosmetic treatment that does not require surgery or extensive downtime. The treatment can be performed quickly and easily in our office and most people are able to resume their normal activities immediately after the procedure.

How do skin boosters work?

Skin boosters work by injecting hyaluronic acid (HA) into the skin in small amounts, typically using a series of micro-injections. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance that is found in the skin and helps to maintain its hydration and elasticity.

When skin boosters are injected into the skin, they help to:

  1. Improve hydration: Hyaluronic acid is a highly effective moisturizer that can hold up to 1000 times its weight in water. When injected into the skin, it attracts and retains water, improving the skin's hydration levels.
  2. Stimulate collagen production: Collagen is a protein that gives the skin its structure and elasticity. As we age, collagen production decreases, leading to the formation of fine lines and wrinkles. Our signature Collagen bomb Skin booster (using Nithya collagen)will infuse and stimulate collagen production, improving the skin's elasticity and firmness in 1 treatment.
  3. Enhance skin quality: Skin boosters can improve the overall quality of the skin, making it look smoother, brighter, and more youthful. They can also help reduce the appearance of acne scars and other types of scars.

The effects of skin boosters can last for several months, and multiple treatments may be needed to achieve optimal results. It is essential to consult with a qualified medical professional to determine which skin booster is the right treatment option for you.

How long does the effect of the skin booster last?

The duration of the effects of skin boosters can vary depending on the individual's skin type, age, lifestyle, and the specific product used. However, in general, the effects of skin boosters can last from six months to a year.

One of the factors that influence how long skin boosters last is the type of hyaluronic acid used. Some skin booster products contain a higher concentration of hyaluronic acid and cross-linking agents, which can make the effects last longer. Other factors that may affect the longevity of skin boosters include the injection technique used, the depth of the injection, and the frequency of treatment.

It's worth noting that skin boosters are not permanent and will eventually break down and be absorbed by the body. However, most people find that the results of skin boosters last long enough to justify the treatment's cost and inconvenience. It's also possible to maintain the results of skin boosters by receiving regular touch-up treatments as needed. It's essential to discuss your expectations and desired outcomes with a qualified medical professional to determine the best treatment plan for you.

What are some different types of skin boosters:

There are several different types of skin boosters available on the market. The most common types of skin boosters include:

  1. Hyaluronic acid (HA) skin boosters: HA skin boosters are the most popular type of skin booster. They are made of a synthetic version of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps to hydrate and plump the skin.
  2. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) skin boosters: PRP skin boosters involve injecting a patient's own blood plasma, which contains a high concentration of platelets, into the skin. The platelets release growth factors that stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture.
  3. Polynucleotide (PN) skin boosters: PN skin boosters are made of DNA, which helps to stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture.
  4. Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) skin boosters: PLLA skin boosters are skin thickeners. They are often refered to as “Liquid Facelift”. They also stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture.
  5. Calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) skin boosters: CaHA skin boosters are made of a synthetic substance that helps to stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture.

Each type of skin booster has its own unique benefits. It is important to consult with a qualified medical professional to determine which type of skin booster is right for you based on your individual needs and goals.
