Skin Boosters
The Science behind Skin Boosters
Skin booster injections can be made of a soft, gel-like substance called Hyaluronic Acid (HA) or PRP a byproduct of your blood. HA is a substance that occurs naturally in the skin, its hydrophilic and as such holds incredible amounts of moisture. However, it depletes with age, which is what causes skin to appear lined or loose with a dryer texture.
Microinjections of deeply hydrating hyaluronic acid HA or PRP restore the moisture in the skin, which improves its elasticity, firmness and radiance.
​
When applied using a mesotherapy technique of tiny injections, the process of delivering skin boosters also triggers the skin’s own repair and tightening mechanisms, which enhances the result.
What are they used for ?
Skin boosters are normally required between the ages of 25 and above. This is because after this time the skin starts to lose its collagen content, and a loss in collagen automatically means loss of firmness, density, the elasticity of the skin and the appearance of wrinkles.

How does it work ?
Skin boosters are an injected substance which is specially-made to target aging skin and improve collagen and fibrinogen production. Skin rejuvenating substances like Hyaluronic Acid (HA), restore the moisture in the skin, and improve skin elasticity, firmness and radiance. PRP can also be injected as a meso therapy, this is a natural byproduct of your blood which contains growth factors, which stimulate collagen and fibrinogen production.
