Skin boosters are injectable treatments designed to improve hydration texture and overall skin quality rather than change facial structure. At Alexis Aesthetics they are used to support smoother brighter and more resilient skin with results that look like a healthier version of your own complexion.
Skin booster products often contain hyaluronic acid and other ingredients that help attract and hold moisture support the skin barrier or stimulate collagen. Small amounts are placed in the superficial layers of the skin using very fine needles or a specific injection pattern. Over a series of treatments the skin can appear smoother plumper and more luminous without adding obvious bulk.
The focus with skin boosters is on skin health and glow rather than on changing facial shape which makes them a good option if you want subtle yet meaningful improvement.
Skin boosters can be used on several areas where skin looks dull dehydrated or finely lined. Common areas include:
Different products are chosen depending on the area and concern. Examples include amino acid based boosters such as Jalupro eye specific treatments such as Lumi Eyes or polynucleotide based products that support regeneration and elasticity. Profhilo and Seventy Hyal are also options for overall skin quality in suitable cases.
Skin boosters can be suitable if you feel your skin looks dull dehydrated or finely lined even when you are using good topical skincare. They often work well for people who want a fresher look but are not ready for or do not want traditional fillers. They can be used across a wide range of ages and skin tones including melanin rich skin, with treatment plans adjusted to any history of pigmentation or sensitivity.
They are not a replacement for topical skincare sun protection or healthy lifestyle but can sit alongside these as an extra layer of support from within the skin.
Your appointment starts with consultation and skin assessment. The practitioner will ask about your concerns and skincare routine examine your skin in good light and discuss which skin booster or combination is most appropriate. A treatment course and maintenance plan are outlined so you understand how many sessions are likely and at what intervals.
During treatment the skin is cleaned and very small amounts of product are injected in a grid or specific pattern. This can create small visible bumps and redness immediately afterwards especially with under eye work which is expected. Numbing cream may be used depending on the product and area. The procedure is usually quick and you can often return to light daily activities the same day with some short term visibility of injection points.
Many skin booster protocols involve an initial course of two to three sessions spaced a few weeks apart followed by maintenance treatments a few times a year. Some people notice a dewy fresher look within the first weeks while others see more gradual change in smoothness elasticity and overall glow as the course progresses.
Results depend on the product used the starting condition of your skin and lifestyle factors such as sleep stress and sun exposure. Your practitioner will review progress and adjust the plan where needed.
As with all injectables there are risks. Short term effects can include redness swelling visible bumps at injection sites bruising and mild tenderness which usually settle over a few days. In some cases there may be temporary unevenness while product disperses.
Less common but more serious risks include infection delayed inflammatory reactions or vascular events. These are discussed in full at consultation and product choice and technique are selected with safety in mind. You will receive written aftercare and contact details so that you know how to reach the clinic if anything concerns you after treatment.
If you are considering skin boosters the next step is to arrange a consultation. This allows your skin to be assessed in person your goals and lifestyle to be discussed and a realistic course and maintenance plan to be created for you.
