When do the first Skinbooster results appear ?
The first Skinbooster results develop gradually during the first few weeks. The timing varies according to the product injected, the area treated and the protocol : an improvement is therefore not always visible after three to seven days. For one formulation, the manufacturer states that results may appear during the first month. The changes initially concern skin hydration and texture. The skin may become more supple, softer to the touch and less rough. Some superficial fine lines may also diminish. The improvement may be noticeable to the touch before it becomes clearly visible. Although subtle, this first change is an encouraging sign, marking the beginning of the skin regeneration process. These initial changes do not yet allow the overall result to be judged. This is assessed after completion of the initial protocol, at the time specified for the product injected.
Is a Skinbooster result visible immediately after the injection ?
A Skinbooster result cannot be assessed immediately after the session. Swelling, redness, bruising and small raised areas at the injection sites may temporarily alter the skin’s appearance.
- Swelling may temporarily reduce fine lines : the skin then looks smoother, without this appearance representing the treatment result. When swelling decreases, the reappearance of some fine lines does not mean that the Skinbooster has stopped working.
- Redness and bruising may interfere with assessment : wait until they have subsided before comparing the skin’s appearance before and after treatment.
- Small raised areas may appear at the injection sites : they correspond to a local reaction or a deposit of gel, rather than the desired effect on the skin. If they persist or increase, contact the doctor. Do not massage them without the doctor’s advice.
Improvements in skin hydration and texture are assessed over the following weeks, after the initial reactions have subsided. The instructions after a Skinbooster injection explain the precautions to follow during this period.
When should the result be assessed after the Skinbooster protocol ?
The result is assessed after the last session of the initial protocol, once reactions to the injections have subsided. For certain formulations, a check-up approximately one month after this last session allows improvements in hydration, texture and fine lines to be assessed. The doctor sets the check-up date according to the product used. If several sessions are planned, it is therefore necessary to distinguish the first changes observed after an injection from the result obtained at the end of treatment. In a randomised trial of a Skinbooster injected into the cheeks, an improvement was observed one month after the last injection. This interval corresponds to the date chosen to measure the results in the study ; it does not mean that you have to wait a month to notice the first effects.
Are several sessions needed to see the effects of a Skinbooster ?
An improvement may be noticeable after the first session. However, if the protocol includes several sessions, the result is assessed after the last one : the absence of a clear change after the first is not enough to conclude that the treatment is ineffective. The number of sessions depends on the product used. Some protocols include several sessions spaced a few weeks apart ; others include an initial session followed by a touch-up if necessary. Two or three sessions are therefore not essential for all Skinboosters. The FAQ on the frequency of Skinbooster injections details the number and spacing of sessions. To find out how long the results last, see the FAQ on the duration of Skinbooster effects.
Can you speed up the appearance of Skinbooster results ?
There is no proven way to obtain Skinbooster results more quickly. Drinking more water, applying more cream or reducing the interval between sessions cannot guarantee an earlier improvement.
- Moisturising skincare and sun protection remain important for preserving the skin. They complement the treatment without accelerating its effects.
- The instructions after injections aim to limit adverse reactions. Massage should only be performed on the doctor’s recommendation.
- Laser treatment, radiofrequency or mesotherapy may address other skin needs. Adding them solely to accelerate Skinbooster effects is not justified without a medical assessment.
If you have not yet noticed an improvement, the check-up allows the doctor to determine whether enough time has elapsed to judge the result. A further injection should not be decided on solely because there is no visible effect in the first few days.
