Skin Booster

Skin Booster Buena Park

The skin is an important indicator of age, with smooth skin being associated with youth. However, as you age, collagen loss causes wrinkles and fine lines. You also experience a loss of skin volume and elasticity that may make you look older than you feel. At Eye Candy Beauty Med Spa, we offer skin booster solutions to bring back that youthful look.

 

What is Skin Booster?

Skin booster is a method used to nourish and hydrate the skin without recovery downtime. Skin boosters like Restylane vital are applied through microinjection of hyaluronic acid into the skin. Once injected, the skin boosters improve skin hydration, elasticity, and quality. It makes the skin plumper and more even. This also makes the procedure ideal for a skin detox, botox facial, and aqua facial for softening fine lines, improving the elasticity and firmness of the skin, and smoothing acne scarring.

How to Treat Aging Signs of Mature Skin

While several anti-aging solutions are available, one of the most popular procedures in hyaluronic acid injectable treatment. The procedure is effective in treating wrinkles, pore tightening, and skin brightening.

Essentially, hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in the body and stimulates the production of new collagen. As you age, however, the production of hyaluronic acid decreases gradually in the body. Synthetic hyaluronic acid can be injected to ignite collage growth. This helps in skin rejuvenation that gives you that skin glowing effect.

 

What Makes Skin Booster Unique

Skin boosters use the Non-Animal Stabilized Hyaluronic Acid (NASHA) technology, which integrates the acid naturally into the skin to improve its texture, smoothness, and elasticity. The procedure works well with patients of different ages, skin types, and genders.

Skin boosters are also an ideal treatment option for patients who want to reduce the appearance of sun damage or acne scarring on the skin. The approach is safe to use on the facial delicate skin and décolletage. It can also be used on other parts such as the back of the hands to achieve specific skin goals.

Unlike fillers, skin boosters are designed to improve plumpness and hydration in the skin. This is different from fillers that focus on producing volume to reduce the appearance of folds and lines. Once injected into the deep dermis, the boosters improve the appearance of acne scars, wrinkles, and fine lines by re-pulping the skin and improving its texture.

FAQs

+ How are skin boosters different from dermal filler?

Hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers give volume to lips and cheeks to provide them with a healthier and plumper look by lifting and volumising effect. Dermal fillers are stiff and clumpier due to their internal cross-linking bond of hyaluronic acid. On the other hand, Skin boosters don't use lifting and volumising effect, and they don't have internal cross-linkage. You can take skin boosters as hydrating serums in the injectable form used to give glow, hydration and improve skin quality and texture.

Skin boosters are safe and effective for all ages and skin types; they are particularly ideal for mature and dry skin. A diabetic patient must have antibiotic cover while having skin booster injections to prevent the infection. Hypertensive patients must stop taking aspirin a week before the treatment to avoid the risk of bruising. Rest, treatment is safe for everyone younger people takes skin boosters to have more glow and lush skin.

No downtime is associated with the skin booster's treatment. Before the process, you will apply a local numbing cream to your face to avoid pain and discomfort. After the procedure, you may feel slight soring for twenty-four hours, but you will be free to do your everyday activities.

+ What to expect before and after the treatment?

  • Patients are advised to discontinue green tea, Ginko Biloba, Vitamin E and fish oil supplements one week before the treatment. These supplements may increase the risk of getting bruises.
