As we age, our skin loses its natural collagen and elastin, leading to sagging and wrinkling. This is particularly evident on the neck and hands, which are often neglected in skincare routines. However, recent advancements in skincare technology have introduced skin boosters as an effective solution for restoring hydration, firmness, and elasticity to these areas.
Skin boosters are injectable hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers that stimulate collagen production, improve skin texture, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Unlike traditional fillers that add volume to the face, skin boosters work by replenishing the skin's natural moisture and enhancing its overall health.

Benefits of Using Skin Boosters on the Neck and Hands.
The neck and hands are often neglected in skincare routines, leading to premature aging, sun damage, and dehydration. Skin boosters are an effective way to restore and maintain skin health in these areas, as they:
Restore Hydration: As we age, the skin's ability to retain moisture decreases, leading to dryness, roughness, and a dull complexion. Skin boosters contain hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that attracts and retains water, thereby restoring hydration to the skin.
Improve Skin Texture: Skin boosters stimulate collagen production, which improves skin texture and elasticity. Collagen is a protein that gives the skin its strength and structure, and its production decreases with age, leading to sagging and wrinkling.
Reduce Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Skin boosters reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by plumping the skin and improving its overall health. Unlike traditional fillers, which add volume to the face, skin boosters work by restoring moisture and enhancing the skin's natural beauty.
The Procedure: What to Expect
Before the Procedure
We will assess your skin type, discuss your concerns and goals, and recommend the best course of treatment for you.
You should also avoid alcohol, blood-thinning medications, and strenuous exercise for at least 24 hours before the procedure. This helps reduce the risk of bruising and swelling.
During the Procedure
Skin booster treatment typically takes 30-60 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated. I will cleanse the skin, apply a topical anesthetic to numb the area, and then inject the skin booster into the skin using a fine needle.
Most skin booster treatments involve a series of injections spaced out over several weeks to achieve optimal results. The number of sessions required will depend on the severity of the skin condition and the desired outcome.

After the Procedure
After skin booster treatment, you may experience mild swelling, redness, and bruising, which typically subsides within a few days. You should avoid touching or rubbing the treated area, as this can increase the risk of infection and compromise the results.
You should also avoid sun exposure and wear protective clothing and sunscreen to prevent further damage to the skin. It's important to maintain a healthy skincare routine, including regular cleansing, moisturising, and exfoliating, to enhance and prolong the effects of the treatment.
