SKIN BOOSTERÂ
biorevitalisation
& skin redensification
A skin booster is a type of cosmetic treatment that is designed to hydrate and improve the overall appearance of the skin. It involves injecting small amounts of hyaluronic acid (HA) and some active ingredients like amino acids, antioxidants, minerals, and vitamins.
HA is a naturally occurring substance in the body, specifically in the dermis layer of the skin, that helps retain moisture in the skin.
The HA acid used in skin boosters is specially formulated to be more fluid than traditional dermal fillers, allowing it to spread more evenly throughout the skin. This helps to improve skin texture, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and create a more youthful, radiant appearance.
Skin boosters are typically administered through a series of injections, spaced several weeks apart. The treatment is minimally invasive and requires no downtime, making it a popular choice for people who want to improve their skin's appearance without undergoing more extensive cosmetic procedures.
Age, stress, hormonal imbalance (post-birth, menopause...) as well as sun, tobacco and an unhealthy lifestyle are all factors involved in skin aging. With time, lines develop, the complexion turns dull, the skin texture becomes uneven and wrinkles appear. All these changes create dark areas on the face and the skin gradually loses its glow and becomes dry, thin and fragile.
Loss of hyaluronic acid and excessive oxidative stress are the main reasons of skin aging. Hyaluronic acid is an essential skin component. It acts like a sponge that retains water and keeps the skin moisturized, plump and healthy.
Young skin versus old skin​
Let's look in detail at what
the active ingredients are
and what they are used for:
Hyaluronic acid
is a sugar naturally present in the intercellular matrix of the dermis, i.e. in the liquid that bathes and holds skin cells together. We use non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid, very fluid molecules that have the ability to draw in water and thus moisturize the skin itself without volumising it.
Essential minerals (sodium, chlorine, potassium)
are indispensable for all cellular activities and must be continually replenished for proper functioning of our body. As the skin is highly exposed to air pollution, sunlight and temperature variations, which can lead to widespread loss of liquids and mineral salts, the skin is particularly in need of constant replenishment to keep it in good condition.
Amino Acids
In the skin there are two essential proteins present in the intracellular matrix: collagen and elastin. Collagen gives firmness to the skin while elastin gives it elasticity. During the course of our lives, all the proteins in our bodies are continuously destroyed and rebuilt, and this important turnover also takes place in the skin. In order to maintain the production of these two proteins, it is important that the building blocks for their construction, i.e. amino acids, are never missing.
Vitamins and coenzymes
Vitamins are the molecules that make all the metabolic processes we mentioned above possible, coenzymes are mostly derived from vitamins, the latter are mostly taken in with the diet and are converted by the body into coenzymes. Dietary deficiencies and a stressful lifestyle can cause vitamin and coenzyme deficiencies, which in turn cascade through all the metabolic processes of organs including the skin. It is extremely important to provide the right amount of vitamins and coenzymes directly where they are needed in order to keep the skin in the best possible condition.
Antioxidants
These are those that fight the formation of free radicals. But what are free radicals? In a nutshell, they are dirty, damaged molecules that can damage cells and structural proteins.
hydrate and nourish your skin from the inside...
Short-term effect
maximum hydration: ability to retain water in the skin, visible from the very first treatments, resulting in smoother features.
Long-term effect
increased production of collagen by the fibroblasts, which are stimulated to reach ideal concentrations of this substance approximately 80 to 90 days after the first infiltration.
