So, let’s talk about something that’s been on everyone’s minds lately: looking fabulous without looking overdone. We all want to feel great, right? But it’s also important to maintain that natural, effortless beauty. 

Well, guess what? I totally get it, and I’m here to introduce you to the amazing world of skin boosters!

Now, you might be wondering, what the heck are skin boosters? 

Great question! They’re like little injections of magic that lock in moisture and give your skin a serious boost. Think of them as your secret weapon against ageing and dull skin. These micro-injections contain hyaluronic acid, which works wonders in hydrating your skin from within. It’s like a moisturiser that works its magic deep down!

The best part? Skin boosters leave your skin looking nourished, smooth, firm, soft, and glowing. Who wouldn’t want that? Trust me, I had a maintenance session myself a couple of weeks ago, and the compliments haven’t stopped pouring in since. It’s seriously impressive stuff!

Now, let’s clear up a common misconception.

Skin boosters are NOT the same as fillers. Yes, they both contain hyaluronic acid, but they’re made differently. Fillers are all about enhancing shape and adding volume, while skin boosters focus on hydration, collagen stimulation, and skin renewal. So, they’re like cousins, not twins!

There are a few different branded skin boosters out there, and I’ll be honest, it can get a bit confusing. But fear not, my friend! I’ve done my research and trained in the ones that have solid evidence and a proven track record of safety and efficacy. So, let me introduce you to my top picks.

First up, we have Teosyal Redensity 1®. 

This award-winning product by Teoxane is a true skin enhancer and revitaliser. It’s designed to prevent premature ageing, restore skin density, and give you that beautiful, radiant glow. Trust me, it really, really works! I’ve seen the results firsthand, and they’re nothing short of amazing. 

As well as the non cross-linked HA, it also includes a unique patented formula of effective natural components (including amino acids, antioxidants, minerals and vitamins). This helps optimise DNA synthesis in the skin, which basically means it promotes skin renewal as well as stimulating the production of collagen and elastin which give that lovely plump glow we all crave.

What do I need to know?

Now, let’s talk about what to expect in terms of treatment and aftercare. For optimal results, it’s recommended to have an initial course of 2-3 treatments, spaced 2-4 weeks apart. These treatments work together to give you that long-lasting boost you’re looking for. And here’s the exciting part: the results can last up to a whole year! 

However, to maintain that gorgeous glow, regular maintenance sessions are necessary. I also alway recommend you stay on top of your skincare routine to reap those long-term rewards.

Now, let’s address the elephant in the room: any side effects or downtime?

Well, as with any treatment involving tiny micro-injections, you may experience minor bruising, redness, and small bumps at the injection sites. Don’t worry, though, these effects are temporary and will fade away in no time. If you’re prone to puffiness around the eyes, you might notice a little of that too. But fear not, my friend, because we’ve got you covered! Numbing cream is available to make the process as comfortable as possible.

Here’s the thing: there is a bit of downtime with this treatment. Those little injection bumps will stick around for about 2-3 days. So, if you’re planning on hiding it from the family, you might need a backup plan. But trust me, it’s well worth it! The results speak for themselves, and you’ll be strutting your stuff with confidence.

Profhilo®

Next up, let’s talk about Profhilo®. This one’s a celeb favorite and for good reason. It’s a highly concentrated hyaluronic acid that stimulates collagen and elastin, giving your skin that firm and lifted appearance. It’s perfect for anyone, but I find it works best for those aged 50 and above or for anyone with thin or fragile skin.

What are the potential side effects or downtime and will I need a course?

For optimal results, an initial course of 2-3 treatments is recommended, spaced approximately 3 weeks apart. These treatments work together to give you the best possible outcome. The great news is that you can expect the results to last up to 12 months! However, it is recommended to have a single top-up treatment every 4-6 months to maintain those fabulous results.

Now, let’s address the potential side effects and downtime. I’ll be honest with you, this treatment can sting a bit, so you’ll need to be prepared for a bit of discomfort but it’s not for long and it is worth it in the end.

In terms of the injection site bumps, they may be a bit larger compared to the Redensity treatment, but there will be fewer of them. You might notice that they resemble large “under the skin” spots for a few days. However, the good news is that you can carry on with your normal daily activities as soon as you like. So, no need to put your life on hold!

So, how do you decide which one’s right for you? 

Well, that’s where I come in! 

Book a consultation with me, and we’ll dive into the details. We’ll discuss your goals and assess which treatment is the best fit for your individual needs. Oh, and don’t worry if you’ve had other treatments like Botox or fillers. Skin boosters can be done before or after (with a minimum of 2 weeks in between), or even at the same time. Talk about versatility!

Remember, skinbooster treatments are all about enhancing your natural beauty and giving you that confidence boost you deserve. So if you’re ready to take your skin to the next level and achieve that natural, radiant glow, let’s do this! Book your consultation and together, we’ll make sure you’re still you, just boosted!

Looking forward to helping you shine,
