Radiant, hydrated, glowing skin
Skin boosters are a fantastic revolutionary skin treatment that improves skin quality, promoting a natural glow and radiance.
This relatively new and increasingly popular treatment concept particularly appeals to patients who want their anti-ageing results to look fresh and natural. As an injectable treatment, it is designed to supply deep skin hydration..
Skin booster injections use Hyaluronic Acid (HA): a soft, gel-like material that occurs naturally in the skin and holds incredible amounts of moisture. However, it depletes with age, causing the skin to appear wrinkled, lined or loose with a dryer texture.
Moisture in the skin is restored via microinjections of intensely hydrating hyaluronic acid to improve firmness, elasticity, and radiance. It is incomparable to applying moisturiser: the injections can penetrate far deeper and last longer.
Benefits of a Skin Booster include:
- Overall Improved Skin Health
- Reduction of fine lines, wrinkles and crepe skin
- Hydrated, firmer and more bouncy skin (natural lift)
- Improved texture, tone and elasticity
- Reduction of pigmentation
Improvement of stretch marks and scarring - Alternative to injectable products (toxin and dermal fillers)
Skin boosters are also ideal for use in combination with other treatments, such as anti-wrinkle injections or dermal fillers, providing a holistic boost to the skin and complementing more focused treatments. There are a number of different skin boosters, each with their own benefits.
Treatment types
Redensity 1®
Redensity 1 by Teoxane is an award-winning product*. It is hyaluronic acid-based and contains vitamins, minerals, amino acids and antioxidants.
This treatment helps to restore a youthful, dewy complexion by diminishing fine lines and increasing skin vibrancy and luminosity.
You can also expect an increase in skin redensification, hydration & tonicity.
This product is excellent for anyone with concerns about ageing skin. It can be used on most areas of the body, but most commonly on the face, neck, décolletage and hands.
The procedure takes approximately 15-30 minutes, and the recommended course is for three treatments, three weeks apart. Results last between 6-12 months, and it is recommended to have a “one-off” treatment for maintenance every 6-12 months.
