Skin Boosters- Everything You Need to Know
All of us want gorgeous, youthful, refreshed skin! Along with its ability to take years off our face, it can also make us feel better. When looking for skin treatments, there are a plethora of options. To make the most informed choice for your skin, it is essential to have the facts. As such, in this article, we want to take you through the benefits and need-to-knows of Skin Boosters.
When entering the bathroom cabinet of many women, you are more than likely to encounter some form of ‘skin cream’. Some of us have so many that we’re not sure what to do with each of them. Have you ever stopped to consider the effectiveness of skin creams? Along with being a soothing form of self-care, they are hydrating and may also help to reduce the visible effects of ageing. The downside of the latter is that it is not always the most effective indirectly targeting the cracks, crevices, blemishes and skin conditions we can find on our skin.
This is where Skin Boosters can serve as an effective supplementary treatment.
What are injectable Skin Boosters?
The premise of Injectable Skin Boosters is that they boost collagen production in the body. This is done through its incorporation of Amino Acids and Hyaluronic Acid. These are natural components, found within the skin and when included in skin treatments, stimulates the production of Collagen, deeply hydrating and ‘plumping out’ the skin. This contributes to visibly renewed skin, a notable healthy glow and a rejuvenated feel. Injectable Skin Boosters are used on areas like frown lines, forehead creases and crow’s feet around the corner of the eyes, to smooth the appearance of wrinkles.
A Skin Booster treatment plan typically includes a course of 2, 3 or 4 treatments depending on the brand protocol. The Skin Booster treatments that we offer at SKIN2 include Redensity 1, Sunekos and soon to be Profhilo. A small breakdown of each of these products can be seen below:
Redensity 1-
