Skin boosters and collagen stimulators are cosmetic treatments designed to enhance the skin's appearance by promoting hydration, firmness and collagen production. They’re typically injected into the skin to address signs of ageing and improve overall skin quality.

While dermal fillers add volume to specific areas, skin boosters focus on improving skin texture, elasticity, and hydration. They contain substances like hyaluronic acid or polynucleotides that enhance the skin from within.

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the skin that retains moisture. In skin boosters, it is used to hydrate the skin, improve elasticity, and reduce fine lines by attracting and holding water molecules.

The duration of results varies, but generally, patients may enjoy improved skin texture and hydration for several months. Maintenance sessions are recommended to prolong the effects.

Skin booster treatments are generally suitable for individuals seeking to improve skin texture, hydration, and elasticity.
