Skin Boosters
A Little Boost for Your Beauty.
What are Skin Boosters?
Skin boosters are minimally invasive injectable treatments designed to improve skin hydration, texture, and overall appearance. They typically contain hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps retain moisture. Hyaluronic acid-based skin boosters are injected into the dermis, the middle layer of the skin, to replenish lost moisture and stimulate collagen production. This can result in smoother and more radiant skin.
Wake Up to Younger Skin! Skin boosters are often used to address concerns like dryness, fine lines, and dullness. They can also be beneficial for improving skin texture after sun damage or acne scarring. Treatments are typically spaced a few weeks apart, with results lasting several months.
Are skin boosters and dermal fillers the same? No, skin boosters and dermal fillers are not the same. Skin boosters are thin, injectable solutions that primarily focus on improving skin hydration and texture. They often contain hyaluronic acid, a substance that attracts moisture to the skin. Dermal fillers, on the other hand, are thicker and more viscous solutions that are used to add volume to specific areas of the face. They can be used to fill in wrinkles, enhance facial contours, and augment features like the lips or cheeks. Dermal fillers are also often made of hyaluronic acid, but they have a different formulation than skin boosters to achieve a lifting and volumizing effect.
At Sirona, we also offer collagen stimulators to trigger your skin's natural healing response, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin from within. This leads to a more significant and long-lasting improvement in skin texture, firmness, and overall appearance. What is the difference between hyaluronic acid fillers and collagen-stimulating fillers? Hyaluronic acid fillers are widely used dermal fillers and are effective in providing support and volume. However, their longevity varies from 6 to 24 months. Whereas collagen-stimulating fillers include Poly-L-Lactic-Acid and Calcium Hydroxylapatite, lasting twice as long compared to HA fillers. Collagen-stimulating fillers are also used to treat atrophic acne scars and are often combined with energy devices including RF to stimulate additional collagen production.
