The Science Behind Skin Boosters
Skin boosters are a type of aesthetic treatment used to increase skin hydration, improve elasticity, and reduce fine lines, for a more youthful appearance. These injectable fillers contain hyaluronic acid to infuse the deeper layers of skin with moisture. Find out how this amazing molecule works.
What happens with the skin’s hydrobalance as we age?
Our bodies naturally contain substances that keep our skin tissue soft, hydrated, and flexible. One of these is a sugar molecule called hyaluronic acid. It is a type of glycosaminoglycan that can bind with and retain volumes of water. This keeps our skin hydrated, soft, and flexible.
From the age of 28, the amount of this sugar molecule in our skin reduces by about 1% per year. The passage of time and exposure to environmental factors may cause skin to become dry, and we may notice the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Skin boosters aim to hydrate and improve skin quality from within with injectable hyaluronic acid dermal fillers.
Restoring Hydration and Skin Quality from Within
Hyaluronic acid may be a powerful substance that can keep our skin soft, flexible, and hydrated, but it can degrade fast. It forms and degrades over the course of 24-48 hours within our body. This unstable form of the molecule would not be useful as an injectable treatment, since it would need to be repeated every few days.
Our skin boosters contain a similar molecule that has been stabilised to slow degradation and provide a long-lasting hydrating effect to the skin. It can last up to a year. Injecting micro droplets just below the skin surface helps to restore the composition of the skin, boosts hydration, and improves elasticity.
You can achieve more youthful skin and more healthy skin thanks to this natural, stable compound.
