Skinboosters FAQ

What are skinboosters?

Restylane Skinboosters are a brand new approach to nourishing your skin, especially designed to deliver deep skin hydration. This means increasing hydration levels within the skin to deliver lasting moisture and improvements on the skin’s surface.

The treatment involves hydrating microinjections of a soft, gel-like substance called hyaluronic acid (HA) into the skin, which improves the skin’s firmness, elasticity and radiance. Water-loving HA is found naturally in the body where it maintains hydration in the skin. As we age, the quality of our HA diminishes over time. Now you have the opportunity to replenish and maintain natural hydration levels from within as the stabilised HA in Restylane Skinboosters.

Restylane Skinboosters offer a subtle, gradual change in skin quality and elasticity. What you get is a natural but noticeably invigorated look to your skin.

Who is suitable for the treatment?

Restylane Skinboosters are versatile treatments that can be used:

• For men and women of all skin types
• For people with younger or more mature skin
• For people who want to improve skin structure, e.g. in acne-scarred or photo-damaged skin

What areas can be treated?

Because Skinboosters are so versatile, they can be used to treat the hands, lips, neck and décolletage as well as the face. During your initial consultation, you will be able to talk to the doctors about which areas you would like to see improvements in, to create a personalised treatment plan.

What is involved in the treatment?

Restylane Skinbooster treatments consist of multiple very fine injections into the chosen area of skin in order to gradually improve skin quality and give it a healthy glow. While you may see results after just one treatment, for optimal and longer lasting results we recommended a course of 3 treatments, each 2-4 weeks apart.

How long will the effects last?

Following the initial treatment, your body will gradually break down the HA in Restylane Skinboosters over the course of several months. To sustain your wonderful skin, it is recommended to have regular maintenance treatments, approximately every 6 months.

What happens during the treatment?

On each visit the Doctor will administer a series of tiny, fine needle, low-volume injections into the mid to deep dermis (the underlying layer) of the skin. During the procedure, some people experience a certain level of discomfort, this is eased by an application of a topical anaesthetic prior to the treatment that helps make the treatment more comfortable.

Each treatment session usually takes around 15-20 minutes and requires a booking out time of 45mins in order to enable the topical anaesthetic to work.

What happens after the Skinbooster treatment?

Following the treatment, you may experience some slight redness or minor bruising around the treatment areas, this should subside after a few days, but in some cases bruising may last for up to 2 weeks. A clean cooling pad can be used after the treatment to help reduce swelling, but avoid applying make-up on your skin immediately after the treatment.

After a rest of about 24 hours, if needed, you can use light make-up to cover any redness or bruising. You should also avoid excessive sun or extreme cold at least until any initial swelling/redness resolves

How much does it cost?

•  £800 for a course of 3 treatments

A course of 3 treatments 2-4 weeks apart is recommended. A course of treatments requires a total of 3ml of dermal filler – 1ml at each session. Larger areas or multiple areas on the neck or chest may need up to 6ml or 5ml per course. A 6 monthly on-going maintenance treatment of 1ml is recommended to maintain the effects.
