Answering Your Skin Booster Questions

By Florence Goulbourne

With clients only recently discovering the true benefits of skin boosters, the request for these skin rejuvenating injections has unsurprisingly risen. With this increased number of treatments comes an increased volume of questions, and rightly so! Clients want to be rest assured that skin boosters are a beneficial treatment for them before booking in with a practitioner. Plus, we always advise clients to carry out their own research and investigations before leaping feet first into the aesthetics industry, even with a light procedure like a skin booster. 

The Popularity of Skin Boosters

The ever-changing landscape of aesthetic medicine has seen various treatment trends emerge over recent years that have helped clients combat the signs of ageing. One trend that has arisen is the liquid facelift – a procedure that helps tighten wrinkles and plump skin for a younger, fresher looking appearance. However, clients are now reaching for a gentler approach to anti-ageing, with skin boosters being the perfect option to help rejuvenate the skin.

Skin boosters provide a subtle and less obvious look in comparison to the better known, non-surgical treatments. And whilst good skincare can go a long way to increase skin radiance, no topical cream or serum can match the effects of aesthetic injections.

To provide you with all of the essential information about these powerful treatments, we at Fox Pharma have put together the answers to the most commonly asked skin booster questions below.

What Is a Skin Booster?

Skin boosters are an injectable skin treatment formulated to aid in the hydration and rejuvenation of the skin. Developed with beneficial, moisture-surging properties, skin booster treatments deliver intense hydration to the deeper dermis. They help to improve skin quality as they promote a rejuvenated, healthy glow from the inside out.

Formulated with hyaluronic acid (HA), a natural substance found in the body, skin boosters are capable of revitalising the skin to improve its texture and appearance. Although they can be developed with different ingredients, it’s more than likely that hyaluronic acid will be the primary ingredient.  

Overall, skin boosters are super versatile injectables used to treat various areas and an array of perceived skin flaws. 

What Do Skin Boosters Do?

To delve into what skin boosters do, they essentially have been formulated to ‘boost’ the skin and give a rejuvenated and revived look – as per their name.  

Skin boosters are good as an alternative option for those seeking a less intensive treatment such as antiwrinkle injections and dermal fillers. They bring a more subtle approach to an aesthetic procedure whilst providing valuable benefits to the skin.  

Unlike dermal fillers and antiwrinkle treatments, which are injected beneath the skin, skin boosters are injected directly into the skin itself to help intensively hydrate the tissue and impart moisturising properties. Skin boosters are amazing for reducing the appearance of wrinkles and providing a youthful glow for clients. Essentially, skin boosters are good for offering clients a fix for their skin insecurities, without invasive medication or going under the knife.  

These hyaluronic skin injections always make the top of the list for treatments due to their versatility as they are suitable for any age, skin type, or gender. 

Do Skin Boosters Work?

Considering a skin booster appointment can sit anywhere from £100 to £500, clients need to know whether skin boosters are beneficial given their sometimes costly price tag. And spoiler alert, they absolutely are! With the rise in popularity of these treatments, there must be reasoning behind this skin surge. Perhaps we can simply attribute this love for skin boosters to the immaculate results they produce.

Skin boosters provide dehydrated skin with intense hydration to revive the dermis. Skin boosters specifically work to target dryness, crepey skin, and fine lines – making them the perfect alternative to antiwrinkle treatments. Alongside aiding in hydration and the correction of fine lines, skin boosters work wonderfully to improve both tone and texture.  

One of the most beneficial aspects of skin boosters is that they are perfect for any skin type and any age range (provided the client is over 18). This means that the effects of skin boosters are advantageous despite the differences in each of your clients’ skin.  

How Long Do Skin Boosters Take to Work?

The time frame for skin booster results can vary for many reasons, so there is no one catch-all answer on how long skin boosters take to work. Genetics and individual skin characteristics can lead to different times between different clients. Though, different skin booster products will have their own time-frames for working.

For example, skin boosters like Seventy Hyal 2000 are fast-acting, with visible results appearing instantly and further improvements appearing in the weeks after. Generally speaking, however, skin boosters take two weeks to take full effect.

How Long Do Skin Boosters Last?

The longevity of each skin booster treatment can vary depending on each brand, the skin quality and whether the treatment is maintained. However, skin boosters typically can last anywhere from six to twelve months as a minimum, depending on varying factors.

What Is the Downtime for Skin Boosters?

With skin boosters, the downtime is minimal. As with any injectable treatments, a small amount of bruising may appear. However, this should subside within a few days with no long-term effects. Small, localised bumps may appear at the injection points. These will start to diffuse within 4-6 hours. 

Are Skin Boosters Fillers?

Ultimately, no – a skin booster is not a dermal filler. 

HA-based skin boosters and dermal fillers are not the same product despite both injectables containing HA as the main ingredient. The two treatments are also not interchangeable when it comes to offering skin ageing treatments, as they behave in different ways. 

HA skin boosters are not cross-linked and are usually much thinner in consistency, therefore having a greater spread. They can be used to soften fine lines, hydrate, and improve the texture and condition of the skin. On the other hand, HA dermal fillers are generally used when volumising, contouring, or augmentation is required in specific areas of the face. 

Which Is the Best Skin Booster?

All treatments and products are down to both client and practitioner preference. People may opt for certain skin boosters for different reasons, such as results, brand name or longevity. However, here at Fox Pharma, we would always recommend the Next Generation Skin Booster, Seventy Hyal 2000 as the perfect HA skin injectable. 

This is because Seventy Hyal 2000 provides intense skin-deep hydration and markets itself as a ‘hybrid skin booster’. In addition to its moisture-surging benefits, Seventy Hyal 2000 also adds gentle volume to the skin and can provide a temporary (1-2 weeks) contouring effect if applied specifically to facial areas that benefit from enhancement.  

Seventy Hyal 2000 is a bio-stimulating, injectable HA skin booster that aims to improve hydration levels within the skin. This treatment also works to simultaneously stimulate the production of new collagen and elastin. As we age, we lose approximately 1% of our HA stores per year after the age of 30. Thus, resulting in fine lines and loss of facial volume. Seventy Hyal 2000 treats the physiological depletion of HA within the skin via the infiltration of it back into the skin’s dermis.

This acts as the perfect skin rejuvenation treatment to improve skin texture and skin laxity whilst adding gentle volume. 

Summary on Skin Boosters

Overall, there is a very positive atmosphere and shift surrounding skin boosters, what’s not to love about them? The reason why skin booster treatments are becoming so sought-after and popular is mostly because they’re completely safe, non-invasive, have minimal downtime, and are recommended for any age group. 

Product development never stops, and with this, we will see further advances in hydrating skin boosters within the industry – such as the new and innovative Seventy Hyal 2000.
