What is it?
Anti-aging skin boosters are injectable treatments designed to hydrate, firm, and rejuvenate the skin from within. Unlike dermal fillers, which add volume, skin boosters work at a cellular level to improve overall skin quality. Popular options include hyaluronic acid-based boosters and collagen-stimulating solutions.
These treatments are particularly effective for dull, dehydrated, or aging skin, targeting areas like the face, neck, décolletage, and hands.
How It Works
Skin boosters are injected in micro-droplets across the skin using a fine needle or mesotherapy device. The injected hyaluronic acid (HA) or other actives attract and bind water molecules, leading to deep hydration, improved skin elasticity, and enhanced cell regeneration.
Some boosters also include antioxidants, amino acids, vitamins, or peptides to boost collagen and elastin synthesis, aiding long-term skin remodeling.
