Skinbooster injections in Geneva

What is a Skinbooster ? The Skinbooster is a hyaluronic acid that visibly improves skin quality, the solution to hydrate and firm the skin in a long-lasting way. Thanks to targeted injections of stabilized hyaluronic acid, the skin is plumped, and wrinkles and fine lines are softened. The goal is to nourish the skin without altering the volumes or the expressions of the face.

After a few injection sessions, the face appears younger and more radiant.
With the “nude” trend, beauty embraces naturalness. For bare skin, there is only one requirement : a flawless skin texture, which is why Skinboosters are so valuable.

How does the Skinbooster brighten the complexion ?

The Skinbooster makes the complexion radiant without adding volume, and this is possible thanks to its active ingredient, hyaluronic acid.
Deep skin hydration : hyaluronic acid has an exceptional ability to retain water, up to 1000 times its molecular weight. Injected into the deep skin layers, it attracts and retains water. This deep hydration plumps the skin, makes it more supple, and reduces signs of dryness and fatigue. The skin regains its natural radiance and the complexion becomes more even.
Improvement of skin quality : Skinbooster injections stimulate the production of collagen and elastin. By strengthening the skin structure, Skinboosters smooth fine lines and surface irregularities. Smoother skin reflects light better, contributing to a more radiant and luminous complexion.
Skin regeneration effect : Skinboosters revitalize the skin and progressively improve its quality. The new skin cells are healthier and clearer, giving a fresher and more radiant complexion.
Reduction of skin imperfections : thanks to improved hydration and skin quality, Skinboosters reduce skin imperfections such as enlarged pores and mild scars. More even and flawless skin reflects light better, enhancing brightness.

What are the indications for Skinboosters ?

The treatment of skin aging with Skinbooster hyaluronic acid injections is particularly recommended in certain cases.
As a preventive treatment on young skin, starting from the thirties, to delay the appearance of signs of aging.
As a corrective treatment, for skin already showing signs of aging, to tone and plump it.
The Skinbooster deeply hydrates the skin and stimulates collagen synthesis.
Without modifying the volume or the facial features, this technique provides skin densification for a true “radiance boost”, making the skin more plump, more elastic, more firm.

Skinboosters to restore beautiful skin

Skinbooster is a hyaluronic acid with multiple benefits.

  • Skinboosters improve acne scars.
  • Skinboosters hydrate the skin.
  • Skinboosters increase skin firmness.
  • Skinboosters have a rejuvenating effect on the skin.
  • Skinboosters reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
  • Skinboosters provide a glow.
  • Skinboosters even out and brighten the complexion.
  • Skinboosters plump the skin.
  • Skinboosters stimulate collagen production.
  • Skinboosters help prevent photoaging (sun-related skin aging).
  • Skinboosters correct skin elasticity loss.
  • Skinboosters improve skin elasticity.

Which areas can be treated with Skinbooster ?

Where are Skinboosters injected ? Different parts of the body can be treated. It is possible to perform Skinbooster injections on :

  • The face : to redensify and plump the skin. The areas that cannot be treated are the nose and the forehead, because superficial product deposits may form there, and the orbital area, as Skinboosters cause permanent edema if injected around the eyes.
  • The wrinkles.
  • The lips : for a gloss effect (hydration without volume) and lip lines.
  • The neck and the décolleté : particularly for neck and décolleté wrinkles and neck and décolleté laxity.
  • The hands : to improve wrinkles and skin hydration.
  • Certain areas of the body such as knees, arms and thighs.

This aesthetic medicine treatment is particularly suited to hydrate the skin and strengthen its structure without surgery. It is less invasive than a facelift, peel, or laser and has shown excellent results.

What is the difference between a Skinbooster and mesotherapy ?

The mesotherapy is an injection technique using vitamins, minerals and non cross-linked hyaluronic acid, meaning that it is not protected from physiological degradation by a stabilization process called cross-linking.
The result is light and temporary. The radiance boost is real, but several sessions are needed to maintain it.
The Skinbooster is a lightly cross-linked hyaluronic acid. The result lasts longer, between six and twelve months, and the skin becomes firmer and more toned without added volume.
The two treatments can be combined, and this synergistic association is actually recommended.
It is advised to perform once or twice a year a Skinbooster session and mesotherapy on the same day.

Are Skinboosters more effective than botulinum toxin ?

Skinboosters and botulinum toxin address different needs and are often used in a complementary way. Skinboosters hydrate and improve skin quality, while botulinum toxin treats certain dynamic wrinkles caused by muscle movements. By relaxing the muscles, it prevents the formation of new wrinkles.
If the main goal is to reduce forehead wrinkles, crow’s feet and frown lines, botulinum toxin is more suitable. If the goal is to improve the quality, hydration and radiance of the skin, Skinboosters are the treatment of choice.

Are Skinboosters more effective than hyaluronic acid ?

Skinboosters vs fillers : which is the best option ?
The main goal of Skinboosters is to revitalize and hydrate the skin without adding volume. They soften fine lines and early skin creases.
Fillers, such as classic hyaluronic acid, are used to add volume, reshape the face, fill deep wrinkles and folds, and correct asymmetries. They are injected deeper into the skin or into the subcutaneous tissue.
The results of Skinboosters generally last several months, often between six and twelve months, depending on the type of product and the area treated.
The results of fillers can last between six months and two years, depending on the product used, the injected area and individual metabolism.

Combined approach : for optimal results, a combination of Skinboosters and fillers can be used to treat both skin quality and volumetric and structural needs. This approach makes it possible to achieve overall and more harmonious rejuvenation.

Are Skinboosters better than Profhilo ?

Skinboosters are ideal for patients who are looking for a rapid improvement in skin hydration, quality and elasticity.
Perfect for people wishing to restore radiance and suppleness to their skin with quickly visible effects.
This method visibly improves wrinkles and fine lines.
Profhilo is stabilized hyaluronic acid, designed not only to hydrate but also to reshape and firm the skin. It acts as a biorevitalizing agent, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin and thus improving the overall quality of the skin.

Combined approach : in some cases, a combination of Skinboosters and Profhilo may be considered to maximize the benefits of both procedures.

Although both treatments have different advantages, the choice between Skinboosters and Profhilo will depend on the aesthetic goals and the physician’s recommendations.
If skin laxity and looseness are the main concerns, Profhilo is the ideal treatment. Its bio-remodeling properties provide a lifting effect and improve the overall quality of the skin.
If hydration and skin nourishment are the main objectives, Skinboosters are the best option.

Alternative to Skinboosters

Skinboosters deeply hydrate the skin and improve its radiance, but other aesthetic-oriented treatments can deliver similar results.

  • Mesotherapy, the injection of a mixture of vitamins, amino acids and antioxidants directly into the dermis, revitalizes the skin. This technique provides hydration that is superficial and temporary.
  • Chemical peels, by exfoliating the skin, make it more radiant and even. Skin densification is light, unlike with Skinboosters.
  • Fractional lasers, a true alternative to Skinboosters, which densify the skin and improve surface irregularities.

How does a Skinbooster hyaluronic acid session take place ?

Before anything else, an initial consultation is scheduled at Doctor Valeria Romano’s clinic in Geneva. Attentive to your needs, the doctor defines your goals with you and reviews your expectations.
This first appointment is an opportunity to determine the appropriate injection protocol.
Concretely, this aesthetic-oriented medicine treatment is performed on clean and disinfected skin. Doctor Romano then proceeds with the injection :

  • Either using a needle, performing multiple injections.
  • Or with a micro cannula with 1 or 2 entry points per hemiface. For the injection of this product, Dr Romano only uses the cannula, unless requested by the patient, in order to reduce the appearance of haematomas and stimulate collagen synthesis.

There are two types of Skinbooster : less and more concentrated in hyaluronic acid. Doctor Romano uses exclusively the one more concentrated in hyaluronic acid.

What is the Skinbooster injection protocol ?

The injection protocol depends on the type of skin.

  • For young skin : for facial treatment, two syringes are injected during the first session. For the neck and décolleté, four syringes are needed. For maintenance, one to two syringes are used every six months.
  • For mature skin : for facial treatment, two syringes are injected during the first session and repeated two months later. The maintenance protocol includes one to two syringes every six months.

 

Which Skinbooster to choose ?

The choice of Skinbooster depends on several factors, including the type of skin, the patient’s aesthetic goals and the area to be treated.

Treatment goal

  • Hydration and radiance : if the main objective is to improve the skin’s hydration and to restore a luminous complexion, it is better to choose a Skinbooster rich in hyaluronic acid.
  • Firmness and elasticity.
  • Correction of fine lines and skin quality.


Treatment area

  • Skinboosters face : all Skinboosters can be used on the entire face.
  • Skinboosters neck, décolleté, hands : some products are specifically formulated to treat more delicate areas such as the neck, the décolleté and the hands, where the skin is often thinner.

 

Skin type and specific concerns

  • Dry or dehydrated skin : the Skinbooster is an excellent option for intense hydration and overall revitalization.
  • Mature skin : for mature skin, Skinboosters are often recommended for their lifting and firming effect, in addition to their hydrating power.

 

Duration of results

  • Short-term results : visible improvement in complexion and quality in just one week.
  • Long-term results : the effects can last up to six months, or even longer.

At what age can Skinbooster injections be done ?

image of skin densification using fillers

Skinbooster injections can be considered at different ages.
Everything depends on the specific needs of the skin rather than on age.
There is no minimum age to start Skinbooster injections, but the approach must always be personalized according to the condition of the skin and the aesthetic goals of each patient. A prior consultation with an experienced physician is essential to determine the ideal time to begin this treatment.

FROM AGE 25–30 : PREVENTION AND MAINTENANCE

The objective is to prevent the first signs of aging and maintain optimal skin hydration.
At this age, the natural production of collagen and hyaluronic acid begins to slow down. Skinboosters preserve the skin’s youthfulness, enhance its radiance and prevent the appearance of the first fine lines.

FROM AGE 30–40 : CORRECTING THE FIRST SIGNS OF SKIN AGEING

The objective is to correct the first visible signs of skin aging, such as the loss of elasticity and the appearance of fine lines.
Skinboosters restore lost hydration, improve skin quality and provide a slight lifting effect.

FROM AGE 40 AND BEYOND : OVERALL REJUVENATION

The objective is to treat deeper wrinkles, volume loss and loss of skin elasticity.
At this age, the skin often needs stronger stimulation to regain its radiance and firmness. Skinboosters can be used in combination with other aesthetic-oriented treatments for global and natural facial rejuvenation.

What are the contraindications to Skinboosters ?

skinbooster vs mesotherapy diagram

Skinbooster is a very lightly cross-linked hyaluronic acid. The contraindications are the same as for classic hyaluronic acid injections.

  • Pregnancy and breast-feeding, as a precautionary measure.
  • Known allergy to lidocaine, an anaesthetic added by the laboratory.
  • Skin infection or inflammation at the injection site.
  • Blood clotting disorders.
  • Use of anticoagulant medications – this is a relative contraindication. Dr. Romano does not perform injections on patients taking anticoagulants.
  • Hepatitis (risk of granuloma formation if interferon is used).
  • Autoimmune diseases.
  • Presence of non-resorbable material or products (prosthesis or plate) at the injection site.
  • Active systemic infection.

What are the side effects of Skinbooster ?

Did you know that hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally present in the body ? This explains why this product is so well tolerated by the organism. Side effects following an injection remain rare. When they do occur, they are limited in time and of low intensity. They are identical to those that may be observed with classic hyaluronic acid injections.
As with any aesthetic-oriented treatment, Skinbooster injections can indeed cause certain side effects, but no social downtime is required.

  • Redness and slight swelling.
  • Bruising : small hematomas may be observed in 30 % of cases.
  • Pain or sensitivity : slight pain or sensitivity may be felt around the injection site, but it fades quickly during the day.
  • Small nodules or irregularities under the skin : this is an inflammatory reaction following the injection. This side effect is not systematic and usually disappears within one to two weeks. Persistent irregularities are usually the result of a technical error (incorrect injection technique).

Can other aesthetic treatments be performed during a Skinbooster session ?

Combining Skinboosters with other procedures is a common practice to maximize results and address multiple aesthetic needs in a single session.
For example, it is common to combine Skinboosters with :

  • Botulinum toxin injections : to smooth expression lines in order to achieve overall facial rejuvenation.
  • Hyaluronic acid for filling : Skinboosters improve the skin’s hydration and elasticity, while hyaluronic acid restores lost volumes, such as the cheekbones or the lips, and creates a lifting and harmonious effect.
  • Chemical peels, especially the PRX-T33 peel.
  • Mesotherapy.

What are the results of Skinbooster injections ?

Before/after Skinboosters

This anti-aging treatment is very effective for filling wrinkles and fine lines. Thanks to deep hydration, the signs of aging are visibly reduced.
Among the treatments and methods available on the market, Skinboosters are increasingly in demand.
The result is immediate and improves in the three weeks following the treatment. Its duration varies between six and twelve months.
The skin is plumped without added volume, and its density is visibly improved.
The face (or other treated area) is more radiant and appears younger, and small fine lines are softened.
A study published in the Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy showed that patients treated with Skinboosters observed a significant improvement in skin hydration and firmness and a reduction of fine lines.

How long does it take to see the results of a Skinbooster (skin booster) ?

The results of a Skinbooster treatment begin to be visible after a few days, with the final results obtained three weeks later.
The improvement in skin hydration and radiance is visible 3 to 7 days after the injection. The skin is more radiant and more plump from the first week.
The final results, particularly the improvement in skin density, the reduction of fine lines and the increase in skin elasticity, are visible 2 to 4 weeks after the session. This period is necessary for the hyaluronic acid to fully integrate into the skin and activate collagen production.

Certain factors influence the speed of the results.

  • Initial condition of the skin : for very dehydrated or damaged skin, more time may be needed for visible improvements.
  • Treatment protocol : in some cases, multiple sessions spaced a few weeks apart are recommended for optimal results, particularly in mature or severely damaged skin.
  • Post-treatment care : a good skincare routine after treatment can speed up and extend the benefits of Skinboosters.

Skinbooster : the aesthetic solution for a younger-looking face

At every stage of life, the skin undergoes changes. Sensitive, babies’ skin is naturally soft and supple. Don’t we speak of “baby skin” to describe beautiful, touchably smooth skin ? During adolescence, acne outbreaks can damage the facial skin and leave lasting marks (depressions…). Later, with aging, skin cells regenerate more slowly, which leads to a loss of elasticity and suppleness. Fatigue and stress have a harmful impact on the skin, as they intensify this phenomenon. Consequence : the skin becomes dull and wrinkles and fine lines settle in.
To combat the effects of aging and help the skin regain a youthful appearance, various medical techniques have been developed. The ultimate solution to rejuvenate facial skin and tighten its features is Skinbooster hyaluronic acid. Used since the 1990s in aesthetic-oriented medicine, this product – naturally present in the body – has proven its effectiveness as an anti-aging procedure by giving the skin a radiant complexion.
Skinboosters consist of fine particles of very lightly cross-linked hyaluronic acid. Concretely, the composition of these molecules gives them a long duration of action. These unique market substances act as regenerators, providing a true “youth boost” on tired skin. The effects of the injections are long-lasting.
Once injected into the mid-dermis, this product integrates into the tissues and plays the same role as the endogenous water initially contained in the skin, rehydrating it deeply.

What is the price of a Skinbooster injection in Geneva ?

Skinbooster technique : and the price ?  For a Skinbooster session : what is the price set at ? The price of a Skinbooster injection in Geneva is set at 400 CHF per syringe. The number of syringes needed will depend on the extent of the area treated and the chosen protocol. In general, an initial treatment plan includes several sessions spaced a few weeks apart, followed by a maintenance phase spread out over time.
In Geneva, Skinbooster injections are performed by trained physicians using certified products. The price therefore reflects not only the quality of the hyaluronic acid used, but also the technical precision of the injection and the rigor of the personalized medical follow-up.

For the season, it is recommended to have an injection before being exposed to intense heat to protect the skin, and after returning from vacation to rehydrate the skin.

No, Skinboosters cannot be injected into the orbital region. In fact, it is a very hydrophilic hyaluronic acid and its use in this area would cause permanent oedema.

Injecting them into the fine lines of the eyelid skin is a poor indication because, in the orbital region, any product must be injected against the bone to avoid complications.

Results are visible after a few days. However, you will need to wait two to three weeks before seeing optimal results.

Yes, Skinboosters can make you look younger by improving the hydration and firmness of the skin. By smoothing fine lines, they refresh and rejuvenate.

No, the skinbooster does not lighten the skin, but as it increases luminosity and skin hydration, it gives the impression that the skin is clearer.

If the injection protocol is complete, the results will last between ten and twelve months.

It all depends on your skin type.

  • For young skin: 1 to 2 syringes, repeated 1 month later.
  • For mature or very sun-damaged skin: 2 syringes, repeated one month later. Maintenance sessions are recommended once a year.

Profhilo is a stabilised hyaluronic acid-based skin booster. Profhilo deeply hydrates the skin to plump and smooth it. According to the manufacturer, Profhilo also stimulates the production of collagen and elastin to improve skin firmness and elasticity.

A complete Skinbooster treatment protocol requires two sessions spaced two months apart. This protocol has been designed to achieve optimal results.
Subsequently, maintenance sessions are recommended once or twice a year depending on the type of skin and the patient’s age.

Several clinical studies prove the effectiveness of Skinboosters. 

To improve the appearance of the skin, Skinbooster injections, hyaluronic acid designed for the skin, are very effective. They deeply hydrate, smooth fine lines and enhance the quality and radiance of the skin.

Skinboosters and Sculptra are treatments to improve the quality and elasticity of the skin.

Treatments such as chemical peels, Skinboosters, ablative laser and Sculptra are effective for skin densification.

Dry skin tends to age more quickly due to its lack of natural hydration, which makes it more prone to wrinkles and fine lines. Fair and thin skin shows signs of aging more rapidly.

Geranium essential oil is known for its firming properties. It helps tone the skin, improve elasticity and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.

Vitamins C, A (retinol) and E.

Dietary supplements containing collagen, hyaluronic acid, antioxidants (such as Vitamin C and E), and omega-3 fatty acids are effective for fighting wrinkles and improving skin quality.

Sudden aging can be due to several factors, including stress, hormonal changes, poor diet, excessive sun exposure, smoking or dehydration.

Women who adopt a healthy lifestyle - a balanced diet, adequate hydration, sun protection, no smoking and an appropriate skincare routine - generally age better. Genetics also play an important role.

Thin, angular faces age more quickly. Rounder or oval faces retain a more youthful appearance for longer because there is more fat.
