What is Restylane Skinbooster?

Restylane Skinboosters is a revolutionary method to nourish and hydrate the skin without the need for downtime. Restylane Skinboosters treatment, which consists of Restylane Vital and Vital Light formulations, are two of the newest in Galderma’s Restylane product family and are applied via microinjections to the skin in order to improve the skin hydration, elasticity, and overall skin quality.

Restylane Skinboosters use cutting-edge NASHA (Non-Animal Stabilized Hyaluronic Acid) technology to naturally integrate into the skin and improve the skin texture, skin elasticity, and smoothness of the skin surface in patients of a wide variety of skin types, ages, and genders. Skinboosters are also an excellent option for patients looking to reduce the appearance of acne scarring or sun damage on the skin. It’s safe to use on the delicate skin of the face and décolletage, as well as the back of the hands and has been a popular treatment option for patients in Europe for over 15 years. In clinical studies, patients had a 100% satisfaction rate, with patients experiencing lasting hydration and optimal results for up to six months post-treatment.

Is Restylane Skinboosters a filler?

You may be curious, Is Skinboosters a filler? Restylane Skinboosters Vital and Vital light treatments rely on hyaluronic acid akin to other hyaluronic acid dermal fillers, but its formulation is designed to improve hydration and plumpness in the skin, rather than producing volume in order to reduce the appearance of fine lines and folds. Restylane Skinboosters encompass two hyaluronic acid skincare formulations, Vital and Vital Light, that use a moderately cross-linked (fine particle) formulation so that the skin is moisturized and nourished.

Restylane Skinboosters Vital is injected into the deep dermis and is tailored to improve the appearance of mature skin, focusing on hydration, plumpness, and elasticity. It is often able to reduce the appearance of acne scars, fine lines, and wrinkles by re-pulping (plumping) the skin and improving skin texture. Restylane Skinboosters Vital Light is injected into the middle dermis and is best for treatment in younger or more delicate skin, typically in patients age 40 and younger, and can improve elasticity, hydration, and skin quality that provides a natural glow.

How does Restylane Skinboosters work?

Restylane Skinboosters rely on the hydrophilic nature of hyaluronic acid in order to improve and nourish a variety of different treatment areas of the body. Hyaluronic acid is a unique, naturally occurring substance in the body that can both attract and support 1000 times its own weight in water. When that powerful hydration is boosted underneath the skin’s surface, it can offer long-lasting hydration and collagen production that is the foundation for healthy, glowing skin.

How do you use Restylane Skinboosters?

Restylane Skinboosters are applied via microinjection into the skin and can be applied to improve the look of the cheeks, lower face, jawline, neck, and décolletage, as well as the back of the hands. This treatment should always be provided by an expert, medical professional in order to ensure safe and effective treatment. When you work with Suddenly Slimmer Med Spa medical professionals, they are able to discuss your individual needs and goals, as well as your medical history and current skin condition, to determine which rejuvenating treatments are right for you.

For optimal results, patients tend to engage in multiple treatment sessions, depending on their current skin condition. Restylane Skinboosters Vital treatment typically involves three injectable treatments spaced about a month apart, with maintenance treatments every six months to ensure long-term skin nourishment. Restylane Skinboosters Vital Light treatment generally requires three injectable treatments spaced 2-4 weeks apart, with maintenance treatments every 4-6 months in order to offer continual skin support.

Can I wash my face after Skinboosters treatment?

As Skinboosters are injected directly into the dermis, rejuvenation occurs below the skin surface. This means that patients can resume normal activity immediately after treatment. However, in order to ensure a smooth result, we recommend that patients wait to touch or cleanse the face for at least four hours post-treatment. 4-6 hours after the initial injections, patients can cleanse the face with water and a gentle cleanser. On the day of treatment, it’s also best to avoid makeup, strenuous exercise, intense heat or sun exposure, as well as pressure on the treatment areas (i.e. sleeping on one’s side).

How long does it take for Skinboosters to work?

For most patients, results from Restylane Skinboosters will be apparent right after treatment, though some patients may also observe mild swelling or redness at or near the injection site. Results will continue to improve over the next several days, and optimal results generally appear after the second or third treatment session in a treatment plan.

How long does Restylane Skinboosters last?

Once patients undergo 2-3 treatment sessions, spaced about a month apart, they can enjoy incredible skin hydration and rejuvenation for up to a full year. However, as results tend to reach their optimal peak at around the six-month mark, most patients will engage in maintenance treatments every 4-6 months in order to ensure continual nourishment and skin elasticity.

Are there any side effects to Restylane Skinboosters?

The side effects of Restylane Skinboosters are typically mild and include redness, swelling, and occasional bruising on or near the injection site. In order to avoid any bruising, we recommend patients abstain from using any blood thinning medications (such as Aspirin or Eliquis) for the week prior to treatment. If patients do experience any swelling, redness, or bruising in the treatment area, these symptoms will dissipate naturally over the course of the next few days.

There are some serious side effects that can occur when patients receive injectable treatments from inexperienced injectors. Instances such as “botox parties” or under-supervised medical spas have made waves in the news about the increased risk of disease spread and potentially life-threatening issues.
