Skin Boosters

Procedure overview

Skin boosters represent an advanced bio-remodeling approach designed to restore dermal hydration and elasticity through microinjections of hyaluronic acid. This minimally invasive treatment rejuvenates skin from within, enhancing texture and radiance.

Medically, skin boosters improve dermal turgor, stimulate fibroblast activity, and support collagen synthesis. They are widely adopted in aesthetic dermatology for their efficacy in skin rejuvenation and non-volumizing tissue revitalization.

Ideal candidates

Candidates are individuals seeking enhanced skin texture and hydration without volume augmentation or surgical intervention.

• Indications: Early signs of aging, dryness, fine lines, and reduced skin elasticity.

• Contraindications: Active infections, autoimmune disorders, pregnancy, or hypersensitivity to hyaluronic acid.
  
  

Procedure details

The skin booster procedure involves precise intradermal injections of low-viscosity hyaluronic acid using micro-droplet or mesotherapy techniques for uniform hydration and collagen stimulation.

• Hyaluronic Acid Infusion: Rehydrates dermal layers, restoring elasticity and improving barrier function for youthful, dewy skin.

• Injection Technique: Performed with fine needles or cannulas using serial puncture or linear threading methods under aseptic conditions.
  

Costs and insurance

Skin boosters are considered elective aesthetic treatments and are not covered by insurance.

• Estimated Cost: Varies based on clinic, brand, and session frequency, generally ranging between ₹15,000–₹25,000 per session.

• Financial Considerations: Packages may offer cost benefits for multi-session treatments.
  

Benefits

Skin boosters deliver deep hydration, enhance skin texture, and restore a youthful glow without altering facial contours.

• Clinical Outcomes: Increased dermal hydration, collagen stimulation, and improved elasticity.

• Aesthetic Benefits: Natural radiance, smooth texture, and reduction of fine lines and crepiness.
  
  

Risks and complications

Downtime is minimal, and patients resume daily activities shortly after treatment.

• Post-Treatment Care: Avoid excessive sun exposure, makeup, and strenuous activity for 24 hours.

• Results Timeline: Gradual improvement over two weeks, with cumulative results after full treatment series.

Regulatory and ethical considerations

Only licensed practitioners should administer skin boosters under medically supervised environments.

• Regulatory Standards: Approved by CE and FDA depending on formulation; patient consent and sterility are mandatory.

• Ethical Considerations: Transparency in product composition, expected results, and follow-up care.
  
  

Technological advancements

Next-generation skin boosters work by enhancing the skin’s natural ability to repair and renew itself.

Exosomes: Tiny messengers released by stem cells, exosomes carry growth factors, proteins, and lipids that signal skin cells to heal and regenerate. They boost collagen, reduce inflammation, and speed up recovery especially when combined with treatments like microneedling or laser therapy.

Polynucleotides (PN) and Polydeoxyribonucleotides (PDRN): Extracted from purified salmon DNA, these boosters activate fibroblasts to increase collagen and elastin production. Their strong water-binding ability helps deeply hydrate the skin, improving elasticity and reducing signs of aging and scarring. 

Alternative treatment

Patients seeking skin revitalization can also consider:

1. PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma): Autologous growth factor therapy for cellular regeneration.

2. Mesotherapy: Cocktail of vitamins, peptides, and hyaluronic acid for skin renewal.

3. Laser Resurfacing: Stimulates collagen remodeling and improves texture and tone.
