Skinbooster

Skinboosters are anti-aging treatments that prevent skin sagging and a loss of firmness. They are injections of very weakly cross-linked hyaluronic acid whose molecules are very fine. These particles act as veritable “sponges” that attract water, intensely hydrating the treatment areas. We recommend this type of treatment for creasing on the cheeks, neck and decolletage.

This technique can be coupled with a mesolift to boost hydration all over the face.

The skinbooster injection protocol recommended for the areas stated above is as follows:

Treatment session 1: injection of 2 millilitres (one per side) into the cheeks, or 3 to 4 millilitres into the neck and decolletage
2 months after first session: injection of 1 millilitre (half per side) into the cheek creases, or 2 to 3 millilitres into the neck and decolletage.
Then a full- or half-dose top-up, depending on requirements, every six months on average.

The injection technique uses a micro-cannula, which considerably reduces the risk of bruising and, in most cases, means no downtime is required. Patients can therefore get back to work immediately after treatment. The only side-effect noted, though rare, is a bit of localised swelling in the lower face (“declivity” oedema) which usually subsides after 24 to 48 hours.

Note that skinboosters are, in no case, volumising products and can therefore not widen the face for the long term, regardless of the amount of hyaluronic acid injected.

The effects noticed when this treatment is properly carried out are:

A reduction in the superficial “creased” effect in treated areas
Increased skin firmness, making it feel thicker
A more radiant complexion

The price of the treatment depends on the number of blisters injected but starts at 200 euros per millilitre (one blister contains one millilitre).

FAQ — Your questions about the skinbooster

What is a skinbooster?
It is an anti-ageing treatment that involves injecting very lightly cross-linked hyaluronic acid. Its molecules attract and retain water, providing deep hydration of the treated areas to prevent sagging and loss of skin firmness.

Which areas are concerned and how does the protocol work?
The skinbooster mainly treats the cheeks (creased cheeks), neck and décolleté, using a micro-cannula. The protocol starts on day 0 with 2 ml for the cheeks (or 3 to 4 ml for the neck/décolleté), followed at month 2 by a half-dose booster. Maintenance at full or half dose is then carried out on average every 6 months.

Are there any after-effects following the session?
The micro-cannula technique greatly reduces the risk of bruising, with no downtime: you can resume your activities immediately. Rare localised swelling in the lower face may occur, generally subsiding within 24 to 48 hours.

What results can be expected, and how much does it cost?
The skinbooster is not a filler and cannot widen the face, whatever the quantity injected. With proper follow-up, fine lines are reduced, the skin becomes thicker and firmer, and the complexion more radiant. The fee is 300 euros per ml (one ampoule = 1 ml), the total cost depending on the number of ampoules needed.
