As we age, the quality of the skin changes, collagen and elastin fibres degrade, and the distribution and function of the body’s own hyaluronic acid is less efficient. This results in rougher, drier skin with less elasticity. The ageing process plays an important role in the appearance of the skin, but lifestyle factors, such as exposure to the sun, smoking and drinking, also have detrimental effects.
Some of the most difficult to treat areas and yet some of the most ageing parts of the body are the backs of the hands, the chest and of course the face. Frequently neglected when putting on sunscreen, these areas tend to get sun-damaged and lose volume – often giving away a person’s age.

The area is numbed before administrations using local anaesthetic cream, so the procedure is quite comfortable. There is no downtime after the treatment, and it should last 9 – 12 months. The gel is administered evenly throughout the area to be treated using a very fine needle. Since there is no need for pre-testing, treatment typically takes just 15-30 minutes.
The benefits of skin booster treatment are that it improves skin elasticity by drawing water to it, so plumping the skin, giving a more youthful and hydrated look. It is a hyaluronic acid, which is based on a naturally occurring substance in the body and makes an ideal treatment for fine lines and wrinkles.
There is no risk of allergic reactions, and it is used instantly without pre-testing. Short-term common administration-related reactions may occur: redness, pain, itching and tenderness. Bruising may last for 2-3 days.
There are no restrictions on how often you can receive treatment. We advise you to have the first three treatments at 4-week intervals. Thereafter, the procedure may be repeated as often as you wish, ensuring you look and feel great.
The natural hydrating properties of skin boosters make it a better treatment choice for all those skin areas that take on a rough, dehydrated or crêpey appearance. These areas typically include:
Skin boosters plump up the skin in a way that creams and other moisturisers simply cannot do.
