I am always very conscious of the treatments I put my skin through and while there are many wonderful procedures out there a lot of them are age sensitive and I am careful not to do anything that is too vigorous to my skin.
Its only natural to want skin that looks and feels soft and radiant and after some research I recently learnt about Restylane® Skinboosters™ and I was very keen to give it a go (also it helped that there was a 50% off deal at Obagi Medi Spa). As previously mentioned do not select a Clinic based on the cheapest price or offers, make sure you do your homework first – Review my blog The Do’s & Don’ts of Aesthetic Medicine.
Restylane® Skinboosters™ is an alternative way to nourishing your skin, especially designed to deliver deep-skin hydration. This means increasing hydration levels within the skin to deliver lasting moisturisation and improvements on the skin’s surface, creating a fresh and natural look.
The treatment involves hydrating microinjections of a soft, gel-like substance called Hyaluronic Acid (HA) into the skin, which improves the skin’s firmness, elasticity and radiance. Water-loving HA is found naturally in the body where it maintains hydration in the skin. As we age, the quality of our HA diminishes over time. Restylane Skin Boosters provides the opportunity to replenish and maintain natural hydration levels from within as the stabilised HA in Restylane Skin Boosters
Restylane® Skinboosters™ have been used by aesthetic physicians for over 12 years and over 3.5 million treatments have been performed in that time. Only Restylane skin boosters are clinically proven to:
- Increase skin elasticity and firmness
- Smoothen and soften your skin
- Reduce fine lines around your lips and eyes
- Lessen skin imperfections like acne scars
It will make you feel great about your skin again!
How is the treatment?
For the treatment you can apply numbing cream to your face before administration but the needles are so small and only surface deep I opted to go straight into it, one syringe was injected evenly over my face, focusing on my eye area, there was no down time or aftercare which is great.
After a few treatments, as advised by your practitioner you’ll find that your skin will become smoother, more radiant, and more elastic. The skin of your face, hands, neck and décolletage can be improved.
- Injections are typically administered over the course of 2-3 treatment sessions, 2–4 weeks apart, to restore your skin’s elasticity and smoothness in a gradual way
- Regular maintenance sessions (approximately every 6 months) occur as planned with your practitioner ensuring lasting results
Clinical studies prove the lasting impact of a Restylane Skinboosters treatment with improvement in skin elasticity of the face and hands for up to 12 months after the initial treatment. The results can make a world of difference to the way you feel about your skin, I was happy with the results and am already looking forward to my next treatment.
