Skin Boosters.

Skin boosters are a type of treatment designed to improve skin hydration, texture, and overall appearance. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, which add volume to specific areas, skin boosters work by enhancing the skin's hydration and quality on a more superficial level. Here's an overview of skin boosters, including their uses, procedure, benefits, risks, and aftercare.

Skin boosters are typically composed of hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance in the skin that attracts and retains moisture. The primary purpose of skin boosters is to provide deep hydration and improve the skin's overall quality, rather than to add volume or contour.

.Common Treatment Areas:

  • Face (cheeks, around the mouth, under the eyes)

  • Neck

  • Décolletage (chest area)

  • Hands

The skin booster procedure involves using a fine needle to inject small amounts of the skin booster into the superficial layers of the skin. The injection technique may involve multiple small injections across the treatment area. The procedure usually takes 30 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated although the treatment itself may take longer as Nova Aesthetics takes an unhurried approach as it is well-established that this improves comfort and lessens the risk of bruising considerably.
