Skin Booster Treatment

Skin boosters are precisely crafted cocktails tailored to meet various skin needs. Depending on the desired results, formulations include hyaluronic acid, amino acids, polynucleotides, and vitamins.

During a complimentary skin consultation at HAIR & SKIN, our doctors will evaluate the condition of your skin and discuss your desired results to determine if and which skin booster formulation is the most suitable for you, while also addressing any questions you may have about the treatment.

Hyaluronic acid is the main ingredient in skin boosters and plays a crucial role in the treatment. The natural substance is injected into the deep layers of the skin at the selected treatment area. There it acts as a water reservoir by attracting water and binding it in the connective tissue structures. Therefore, hyaluronic acid leads to a significant improvement in skin quality and more elasticity in the connective tissue. Especially dense and permanent results are achieved by using cross-linked hyaluronic acid instead of linear hyaluronic acid.

Yes, skin boosters can also be used to improve acne and acne scars. The hyaluronic acid can improve skin quality, reduce redness and smooth the structure of scars. Our experienced physicians can create customised treatment plans to achieve the best results for you.

No, one of the benefits of skin booster treatments is that they typically do not require downtime. Most people can return to their normal activities within a short time after the treatment. Make-up can also be reapplied within a very short time.

However, there are a few things to keep in mind, such as avoiding to drink alcohol or sauna visits immediately after a skin booster treatment. Your attending physician will explain to you how to prepare for the procedure and provide guidance on the essential steps for optimal aftercare.

For the best possible effect, we recommend an initial series of 3 sessions at intervals of around 4 weeks (build-up phase). Subsequently, a refresher treatment is recommended at intervals of around 4 months. The durability varies slightly depending on the condition of the skin and the treatment area.

Using skin boosters may cause temporary side effects such as swelling and bruising. Slight reddening may occur in the first few days after the injection. Since those reactions usually subside within a few days, you are able to go back to your everyday life soon. Applying a numbing cream before the skin booster injections minimises any possible discomfort. Your doctor will inform you about all risks and potential side effects.

Unlike classic hyaluronic acid fillers, skin boosters are not used to increase volume. The primary goal of the skin booster treatment is to moisturise the skin in various treatment areas and improve skin quality. By attracting water and binding it in the connective tissue structures, hyaluronic acid gives the skin new elasticity and firmness, therefore counteracting skin laxity.

While hyaluronic acid fillers are used specifically to treat volume loss or deep wrinkles by plumping the skin, the skin booster treatment is more subtle and focuses on providing deep skin hydration and improving overall skin quality. In addition to hyaluronic acid, skin boosters consist of a variety of other ingredients such as amino acids and peptides.

Instead of targeting specific areas, skin boosters are applied to the entire face, for example to combat acne scars or treat fine lines. In contrast to that, hyaluronic acid fillers are applied via very targeted injections which makes them especially useful when treating a specific area, for example the under-eye area.

However, both injectable treatments are used for skin rejuvenation. They counteract the aging process by promoting collagen production and elastin production and supporting the production of hyaluronic acid in the body.

Autologous blood treatment is an aesthetic treatment which stimulates skin renewal by applying a small amount of centrifuged blood to the skin through numerous microinjections.

It is therefore used for overall skin texture improvement and skin rejuvenation while also serving as an effective alternative to mechanical peels. In contrast to mesotherapy, the applied substance is naturally present in your own blood.

While anti-aging skincare can only have a limited impact on existing wrinkles, products containing antioxidants or retinoids can complementarily slow down skin ageing, such as protecting the skin from sun damage.

If you are considering anti-wrinkle injections to address signs of aging, you are welcome to schedule a free consultation at one of our HAIR & SKIN clinics at any time.

Our doctors will assess your skin and discuss your desired results to determine the ideal treatment for your skin.
