SkinBoosters

Skinboosters are not wrinkle fillers.

The injected hyaluronic acid deeply and sustainably hydrates the skin, restoring elasticity and firmness without altering facial contours or volume.

The product integrates naturally into the skin, enhancing the appearance of the face, upper neck, and backs of the hands.

The fine droplets of Restylane Vital Skinbooster deposited into the deeper layers of the skin increase the hyaluronic acid concentration in the dermis, attract water molecules due to its hydrophilic nature, and stimulate the natural production of hyaluronic acid by fibroblasts.

Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in the tissues of all living organisms. It plays a vital role in maintaining skin elasticity and structure.

As we age, hyaluronic acid production slows down, leading to less hydrated skin, loss of radiance, and reduced firmness.

The preferred treatment areas are those most exposed to UV rays, the primary cause of premature skin aging and dehydration.

SkinBooster treatment can be performed at any age and for any skin type :

For young skin :
The treatment provides deep hydration, delays the appearance of the first signs of aging, and can even correct early wrinkles.
For mature skin :
SkinBooster treatment improves skin quality (hydration, tightening effect, radiance), enhances the results of other aesthetic treatments like peels, photorejuvenation, and wrinkle fillers, and offers a preventive effect by supporting the skin’s structure with stabilized hyaluronic acid.

Though the product contains lidocaine, a numbing cream like EMLA can be applied 30 minutes before treatment.

Your skin will be cleansed and disinfected before your doctor performs multiple injections or uses a cannula for the procedure.

The session lasts about 20 minutes, and a soothing cream will be applied afterward

Contraindications for SkinBooster treatment are minimal and similar to those for hyaluronic acid: known allergy to hyaluronic acid or lidocaine, pregnancy or breastfeeding, tendency to hypertrophic scarring, uncontrolled epilepsy, porphyria, or acute rheumatic fever with cardiac involvement.

After the session, you may experience some redness and tenderness in the treated areas, and minor bruising may appear, but recovery is usually straightforward.

These effects last from 24 hours to a few days, depending on your skin’s sensitivity.

Light makeup can be applied the next day.

Skinboosters significantly improve skin hydration, reduce the appearance of fine lines by smoothing out the cheeks, refine skin texture, slow down skin aging, and make the skin appear smoother, firmer, and more radiant.

These effects are gradual and will become more apparent with each session.

The recommended treatment protocol is 3 sessions spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart, followed by maintenance sessions every 4 to 6 months.
The results last around 6 months.

Each individual has different needs, and Dr. Aimé will recommend the best treatment plan for your skin.

The cost of a SkinBooster treatment using one syringe of Restylane Skinbooster is €250 (including tax).
