What Are Skin Boosters?

There is a natural reduction in skin elasticity and collagen associated with ageing. Skin Booster, like Hydro and Hydromax, can help combat this. They are gels produced by Vivacy consisting of cross linked hyaluronic acid, free hyaluronic acid and sorbitol. They penetrate the dermis and stimulate collagen and elastin production, cell regeneration and restores skin integrity, as well as replenishing lost hydration. They can also provide subtle support in addition to improving skin quality, resulting in fresher and plumper skin.

What can they treat

Hydro and HydroMax can be used to treat the face, neck, décolletage, and hands. Additionally, the skin boosters could be utilised in the lips and perioral area to pull out fine lines, provide a hydration boost and a subtle plumpness.

On the day

Your clinician will discuss your treatment aims and likely results during the consultation. Medical grade prescription numbing cream will be applied and the injections will be administered to the target area, and you will be counselled regarding the aftercare.

Results should be at their best around 4 weeks after treatment, and can last up to 6 months. Your clinician will advise the best treatment plan tailored to your needs, but it is often 3x hydro sessions or 2x HydroMax or a combination of both products, all 3-4 weeks apart.

Before Your Appointment

Prior to the appointment, you should not drink alcoholic or caffeinated beverages for at least 24 hours, and to stop applying tretinoin for at least 48 hours. You should avoid medications which can increase your risk of bleeding, like NSAIDs or aspirin, unless advised by your doctor in
which case you should discuss with your practitioner.

What are Skin Boosters?
  • Skin Boosters are an injectable gel consisting of cross-linked hyaluronic acid, free hyaluronic acid and sorbitol. Hyaluronic Acid is a carbohydrate naturally made in the body with high turnover. As we grow older, hyaluronic acid is made more slowly but broken down just as quickly, therefore replacing it produces excellent results. Sorbitol is a sugar which stabilises the gel and allows it to provide better hydration to the skin.
  • Skin Boosters reinforce the skin’s protective barrier, stimulate collagen and elastin production and work at a cellular level to rehydrate the skin.
  • Hydro rehydrates the skin whilst HydroMax hydrates as well as improves elasticity via collagen and elastin production.
  • Skin Boosters are considered safe when injected correctly and there is good knowledge of the underlying anatomy. However, due to physiological variation, there is always a risk of side-effects.
  • Skin boosters can be used to rehydrate and rejuvenate the Face, Lips, Perioral Area, Neck,Décolletage and Hands.
