We need to learn how to protect our skin from external aggression, moisturise it and nourish it from within by choosing the right foods and drinking enough water.
However, the human body’s natural processes mean that skin inevitably becomes more fragile, dull and damaged over time. This is where aesthetic medicine comes in.
Discover SkinBooster – a treatment that improves skin quality and delays skin ageing on the face, neck, décolleté and hands.
What are the effects of ageing on the skin ?
Over time, essential active ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, elastin and collagen diminish, causing the dermis and epidermis to become thinner. The underlying layer of fat may also diminish, meaning that the production of essential fatty liquids, such as sebum, becomes increasingly scarce.
The skin also loses its ability to protect itself from heat with age. The number of melanocytes decreases, so the skin is no longer as well protected against ultraviolet rays. All these changes make the skin much more fragile. Moreover, overexposure to the sun is responsible for many skin problems (wrinkles, brown spots, roughness).
What is SkinBooster ?
Skinbooster is an injection of hyaluronic acid whose active ingredient rehydrates the skin deep down. This active ingredient is only slightly cross-linked, so the product does not create volume, unlike a conventional hyaluronic acid injection.
This treatment is administered by means of micro-injections deep into the dermis. The hyaluronic acid injected acts as a water captor, leaving the skin more luminous.
Good to know: One of the properties of SkinBooster injections is that they stimulate growth factors in the dermis. This stimulation improves the activity of fibroblasts – the cells responsible for forming connective tissue and keeping the dermis healthy.
How does a Skinbooster session work ?
Depending on your age, the quality of your skin and your needs, the doctor will determine the most appropriate treatment.
The SkinBooster treatment is carried out in the clinic :
- After disinfecting your skin, micro-injections will be administered using a cannula.
- The treatment is minimally invasive and painless. No anaesthetic is required, but an anaesthetic cream can be applied to the area to be treated.
- A session lasts approximately 30 minutes.
After the session, swelling or slight bruising may appear. This only lasts a few days and is harmless. You can resume your activities immediately after your session.
What results are obtained after a skinbooster session?
The results of the SkinBooster treatment are rapidly visible after one session. The skin is noticeably more toned, hydrated and smoothed. Wrinkles and fine lines are reduced, and the complexion is brighter and more even.
The results will then continue to improve little by little. This is because hyaluronic acid injected into the dermis stimulates the production of collagen and elastin – so slackening of the skin is slowed down.
At the end of all your sessions, you will achieve optimal results, which will last for an average of 6 to 8 months. Depending on your skin and your needs, the doctor will determine the number of maintenance sessions required.
Cost of a Skinbooster session
The average price is €250 for the face.
This rate varies according to the quantity of product used and the area(s) treated. After examination, you will be given a personalised estimate.
