Skin Boosters
Skin Boosters, also known as Micro Filler, is an injectable treatment that hydrates and smooths the skin. Skin boosters are very fine dermal fillers that are injected into the skin (not under the skin) to hydrate and improve skin quality. In young skin, a skin booster can give an airbrushed or filtered appearance to the skin. In older skin, a skin booster can reduce the appearance of crepey skin.
SKIN BOOSTERS
Skin Boosters are applied with a mesotherapy gun which can be performed over large treatment areas of the face, neck, and hands to increase the skin’s hydration and overall health. It uses suction to bring the skin to the needles to provide even distribution of the dermal filler up to 1mm into the skin. The fillers are injected into the papillary dermis. Fibroblasts are stimulated by the injection of the filler which causes new collagen and elastin formation in the skin. The depth of injection can be varied by the injecting gun used. The result is healthy-looking, glowing and plump skin. Skin boosters are recommended for patients who want to improve the overall quality and hydration of their skin. The fillers that are used are also formulated with 14 types of anti-oxidants and vitamins within the filler to nourish the skin.
The skin booster treatment is not intended to fill lines and wrinkles. Instead, it is to hydrate the skin and promote formation of new collagen and elastin in the long term. Clients may notice a more dewy and firmer appearance to the skin and more of a ‘glow’ as a result. this treatments compliments all skin types.

WHAT PRECAUTIONS SHOULD I TAKE PRE AND POST CARE?
Pre treatment care: We recommend wearing a daily sunscreen prior to your treatment to protect your skin from the sun’s harmful rays. If your skin is peeling or sunburnt, we recommend that you wait a few weeks for the peeling or burn to subside. Please do not use any prescription vitamin A for 1 week prior to your treatment.
Post Treatment: We recommend no harsh acids or scrubs for at least 5 days post treatment. Your dermal therapist will guide you on a recommended skin care program for your skin concerns. Sunscreen must be worn for a minimum of 14 days post treatment to prevent post-inflammatory hyper pigmentation.
We always recommend the daily use of SPF 30 sunscreen to prevent the skin becoming sun damaged. Please apply at least once every two hours when out in the sun.
