5-minute, Straightforward Guide to Skinbooster Treatment

Are you looking to improve the appearance of your skin without surgical procedures or fillers? If so, a skin booster treatment in Singapore may be just what you need. 

A skin booster treatment hydrates and nourishes the skin from within, giving it a youthful and radiant appearance. Unlike traditional skincare products that only work on the surface, skin booster treatments target the deeper layers of the skin, where the real magic happens. 

Skin booster treatments can sometimes be confused with fillers because of their similar benefits. In this blog post, you will learn how skin boosters differ from fillers and what you can expect during a skin booster treatment. We will also share how you can maintain the results from your treatment.

What Are Skin Boosters and How Are They Different From Fillers?

Skin boosters can be mistaken for dermal fillers since they are both injectable treatments,contain hyaluronic acid and address signs of ageing. Despite the similarities, skin boosters are functionally different from dermal fillers.

Improves the Texture of the Skin

A skin booster treatment enhances the overall quality and texture of your skin. Each injection delivers moisture to the deeper dermal layers to hydrate the skin and improve its elasticity, texture, and radiance. 

Dermal fillers are usually injected to enhance specific features, such as your cheekbones, lips and nose and address deep facial lines.

Hydrates and Nourishes

Unlike dermal fillers, skin boosters do not add volume or change the shape of your facial features. Instead, they utilise hyaluronic acid as a hydrating agent to promote collagen production and nourish the skin.

Plumps Skin From Within

Fillers are injected directly into wrinkles and skin creases in a targeted manner, plumping up the skin directly under the crease. Skinboosters, on the other hand, are distributed evenly around the face to improve the hydration and skin quality across the entire area of treatment

Pre-treatment Preparation

Before you get a skin booster treatment with us, you will first have a consultation with our doctor. We will check the condition of your skin, discuss your goals and expectations, and determine if this treatment suits you. 

Procedure overview

These are the general steps in a skin booster procedure:

1. Cleansing: Our doctor will thoroughly cleanse the treatment area to ensure your skin is free from impurities or oils.
2. Numbing cream: Our  doctor will apply a numbing cream to the treatment area to minimise any potential discomfort.
3. Injection: Our doctor will use a fine needle or cannula to inject the skin booster solution into multiple points within the treatment area. The injection technique may vary based on your specific needs.
4. Massage: After the injections, and depending on the type of skinbooster used, our doctor may gently massage or apply pressure to the treatment area to distribute the solution evenly and ensure optimal results.

Potential Side Effects and Aftercare

After the skin booster treatment, it’s normal to experience some mild side effects, such as redness, swelling and slight bruising at the injection sites. These effects are usually temporary and subside within a few days. Applying a cold compress and avoiding strenuous activities can help minimise them.

Our doctor will provide specific aftercare instructions, which may include the following:

1. Avoiding excessive sun exposure and using sunscreen to protect your skin.
2. Refraining from intense physical activities or facial treatments for a few days.
3. Keeping your skin clean and moisturised.

If you have any concerns or notice unexpected side effects, contact our doctor for guidance and support.

Results and Maintenance

Following your skin booster treatment, you can expect gradual improvements in your skin’s hydration, texture and overall quality. Often, multiple treatment sessions may be required to obtain optimal results. The number of sessions will depend on your individual needs and goals, and our doctor’s recommendations.

Regular maintenance treatments will help sustain the improvements to your skin, keeping it fresh and rejuvenated longer
