ALL ABOUT: SKIN & BEAUTY BOOSTERS

What are skin & beauty boosters?

They are substances such a hyaluronic acid and platelet rich plasma that naturally integrates into the skin to improve skin smoothness, appearance, and elasticity – for a difference you can see and feel.

• Hyaluronic Acid (HA): is a natural occurring substance in the skin. When HA is delivered into the skin, it combines with water in your skin to hydrate and help remove fine lines. HA may stimulate collagen production, leading to an improvement in skin smoothness and hydration.

• Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP): prepared from your own blood, it is a natural product making the risk of rejection or allergic reactions minimal/rare. PRP uses the regenerative and healing properties of your own platelets. They have the ability to locally release growth factors, small molecules that act as messengers to initiate the process of skin regeneration.

How do skin & beauty boosters improve skin quality?

Skin quality improvements include: skin glow, elasticity, texture, and hydration. Skin & beauty boosters improve skin texture by addressing causes such as dryness, roughness, and skin depression with hyaluronic acid and/or platelet rich plasma delivered directly into the skin to improve hydration and the appearance of fine lines. It supports fading of dark circles and brightens skin complexion. The skin has better colour, is less creased, better hydrated and becomes more supple. Gradually, from one session to the next, the complexion looks increasingly radiant and the skin becomes firmer.

What can I expect during treatment?

Your provider will begin the treatment process with a skin assessment, to create a treatment plan to help you achieve your desired outcome. During the treatment, your provider will make multiple injections across your chosen area with a very fine needle. To ease any discomfort, a topical numbing agent may be applied before start of treatment.

Are there any Dos and Don’ts that I should follow?
