Skin Boosters

Skin boosters improve skin quality and texture, making it more hydrated, plump and translucent. They are said to moisturize the skin from within. They give benefits beyond improving the outer skin mantle.

The product used is mainly hyaluronic acid; however, lately, polydeoxyribonucleotide boosters obtained from salmon trout are also being used.

• The hyaluronic acid in the syringes is the product that boosts the skin to lock in moisture or produce collagen. 
• They differ from fillers as they are not made as robust gels and can be injected into the layers of the skin to give maximum benefit to the skin texture.
• Hyaluronic acid is a completely safe product that is naturally present in the body. It absorbs about 1000 times its weight of water.

Indications for the need of skin boosters: 

• Dull skin
• Dry skin
• Fine lines
• Under eye dark circles
• Lip hydration and brightening
• Even skin tone
• Open pores
• Hand rejuvenation
• Neck wrinkling and creepiness
• Stretch marks
• Body contouring (Collagen stimulating boosters are used)

There may be slight lumps, which go away in a few hours. Redness of the skin may occur in some people. There may be a bruise that occurs while injecting. Bruising is temporary and goes away in 5-7 days. There is usually no other discomfort post-procedure.

Ideally, each company has a protocol for injection scheduling that needs to be followed. However, the dermatologist can tweak the same and decide when to repeat the session. Usually, two treatments are done a month apart and a third after six months.

Following are the some side effects and complications related to skin boosters:

• Slight pain
• Bruising
• Visible lumps (If the technique is incorrect)
• Skin necrosis (if the injector is not skilled in the procedure)
• Allergic reaction to the product (which can be treated by your dermatologist)

These side-effects can be minimized if the procedure is done by a skilled dermatologist.
