This deep hydration plumps the skin, making it more supple and reducing signs of dryness and fatigue. Skin regains its natural radiance and the complexion looks more even.

Skinboosters vs fillers: which is better?
The main aim of skin boosters is to revitalise and refresh the skin without adding volume. They diminish fine lines and incipient skin breakdown.
Fillers such ashyaluronic acid are used to add volume, reshape the face, fill in deep wrinkles and folds, and correct asymmetries. They are injected deeper into the skin or subcutaneous tissue.
The results of skin boosters 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 area injected and individual metabolism.
Combined approach: for optimum results, a combination of skin boosters and fillers can be used to treat both skin quality and volumetric and structural needs. This approach results in a more harmonious overall rejuvenation.

Duration of results
Skinbooster injections can be considered at different ages.
It all depends on the specific needs of the skin rather than age.
There is no 'minimum' age for starting Skinboosters injections, but the approach should always be tailored to each patient's skin condition and aesthetic goals. A prior consultation with an experienced doctor is essential to determine the ideal time to start this treatment.

Objective: to treat deeper wrinkles, loss of volume and loss of skin elasticity.
Why: at this age, the skin often needs greater stimulation to regain its radiance and firmness. Skinboosters can be used in combination with other beauty treatments for an overall, natural rejuvenation of the face.
Skinbooster is a very slightly cross-linked hyaluronic acid, and the contraindications are the same as for hyaluronic acid injections.

The result: dull skin and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Used since the 1990s in aesthetic medicine, this product - naturally present in the body - has proved its effectiveness in anti-ageing procedures by giving the skin a luminous complexion.
