All procedures and products set out to:
Reduce skin laxity – Environmental factors that contribute to skin laxity include ageing, genetics, stress, sun exposure, weight fluctuations, and smoking which reduce the collagen and elastin in our skin.
Increase skin elasticity – Skin elasticity is the skin’s ability to stretch and return to its original shape. Loss of skin elasticity is known as elastosis. Elastosis causes the skin to look saggy, crinkled, or leathery. Areas of the skin exposed to the sun can get solar elastosis.
Restore volume – As we age and lose collagen and elastin, the skin starts to sag, and a hollowing out of facial areas begins as we lose volume from the facial fat pads. Injectable collagen stimulators aid in the restoration of facial volume loss and are often incorporated with traditional dermal fillers.
Skin tightening – Through complementary therapy such as combining micro-needling, PRP, and traditional injectables, a more youthful appearance can be achieved with immediately visible results in many cases.
Collagen production – Collagen is a central building block of the body, contained in bones, skin, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Collagen is also found in many other body parts, including blood vessels, corneas, and teeth. The word’s etymology is Greek, “kólla,” which very aptly means “glue” there are at least 16 types of collagen in the body; we concern ourselves with the four main types, type I, II, III, and IV.
Suitable for multiple areas
The face, neck, décolletage, chest, hands, arms, knees and feet can all be treated. Combining treatments allows the practitioner to design custom treatment pathways to achieve individually tailored results.
Hyaluronic Acid & Tissue stimulators
The role of hyaluronic acid is to help bind moisture in the skin and help produce collagen and elastin. As we age, our bodies produce less and less hyaluronic acid; volume is lost from the fat pads, and interconnecting tissues lose strength. The lack of hyaluronic acid production leads to a lack of skin hydration and skin laxity, forming wrinkles in the skin.
Skin boosters contain a high concentration of hyaluronic acid depending on the brand cocktails of amino acids and peptides. Skin boosters tend to have the consistency of a gel-like substance, which enables them to be distributed very smoothly and evenly throughout the skin.
The purpose of the skin booster is to stimulate the production of new collagen and elastin through the release of hyaluronic acid and other compounds specific to each skin booster brand. That is essentially what makes skin boosters different to many other skin treatments. The purpose of skin boosters is not to cover up or hide skin imperfections. All regenerative skin health treatments can remedy these imperfections by stimulating the natural production of collagen and elastin.
Skin boosters are all about skin tone texture, hydration and improving skin laxity. It is why skin boosters are often referred to as injectable moisturisers and are becoming an increasingly popular treatment to improve the skin’s texture, create a better skin tone, and treat skin laxity while reducing fine lines and wrinkles.
