As the skin ages, there is loss of elasticity leading to formation of fine lines due to gradual loss of hyaluronic acid.
By injecting tiny deposits of a soft gel-like substance based on hyaluronic acid into the skin, skin boosters deliver deep skin hydration and improve skin elasticity and structure. Hyaluronic acid promotes hydration in the skin as it attracts large amounts of water. This helps to maintain the skin’s youthful firmness, leaving the skin smooth and soft with beautiful luster and glow. The treatments are commonly done over a large area, including the face, hands, neck or décolletage. These injections are also used to rejuvenate acne scars. Skin boosters require three initial treatments at an interval of 4 weeks to achieve best results
