Which signs of ageing can a Skinbooster reduce ?
A Skinbooster may reduce certain visible signs of skin ageing. The desired result is smoother, more supple skin with less visible fine lines. The improvement concerns :
- Superficial fine lines : a Skinbooster may reduce fine wrinkles visible at rest. It does not fill deep folds or act on the muscle contractions responsible for expression lines.
- Rough or crepey skin : the treatment may smooth the skin’s surface and reduce fine lines. It does not correct excess skin or significant laxity.
- Lack of suppleness : by improving hydration, a Skinbooster makes the skin more supple and softer to the touch.
- A dull complexion : better-hydrated, smoother skin may look more radiant. A Skinbooster improves neither pigmentation spots nor redness.
Can you measure how many years younger a Skinbooster makes you look ?
It is not possible to claim that a Skinbooster rejuvenates the face by a precise number of years. Smoother skin and less visible fine lines may create a younger appearance, but this perception varies from person to person. Being satisfied with the result does not necessarily mean looking younger to an observer. A study of satisfaction after Skinbooster treatment reported improved patient satisfaction with their skin and the natural appearance of the result. However, it does not allow rejuvenation to be quantified in years. Before-and-after photographs help assess changes, but quantifying the extent of visible rejuvenation is difficult.
Can a Skinbooster rejuvenate the face without changing its features ?
A Skinbooster reduces certain signs of ageing while preserving facial features. It acts on the skin : the skin may become smoother, more supple and show fewer fine lines. The treatment aims neither to increase volume nor to change expressions. To achieve a natural result, Dr Romano adapts the product, quantity and injection depth to the area treated. An excessive quantity of product may create volume or irregularities that compromise the natural appearance of the result. Temporary swelling is possible. The page on Skinbooster before-and-after results explains which changes to look for in photographs.
What are the limits of facial rejuvenation with a Skinbooster ?
A Skinbooster improves skin quality but does not correct all the changes associated with facial ageing, for which other treatments must be considered.
- Volume loss : a Skinbooster does not fill hollows or restore volume. Hyaluronic acid filler injections would then be more appropriate.
- Jowls and excess skin : a Skinbooster does not reposition sagging tissues or remove excess skin.
- Expression lines : a Skinbooster does not reduce the muscle contractions responsible for these wrinkles. Botulinum toxin may be more suitable, depending on the area and medical assessment.
- Pigmentation spots and redness : these require a diagnosis and targeted treatment, often with a laser. Better hydration is not enough to correct them.
A Skinbooster cannot stop ageing or repair all the damage caused by extrinsic factors. This technique improves certain visible signs of skin ageing without constituting complete skin regeneration.
Can you look younger with a Skinbooster at any age ?
The effect of a Skinbooster depends more on the condition of the skin than on age. Treatment may make the face look younger when fine lines and crepiness contribute to an aged appearance. Its effect remains limited if the changes mainly concern volume or tissue laxity. Age alone therefore neither justifies preventive injections nor predicts the extent of the result. The consultation clarifies the improvements that are possible and the signs that will persist despite treatment. The question of the age at which to consider a Skinbooster is explored on a dedicated page. The effects are temporary.
