Skinboosters Treatment 水光针
Enjoy Lasting Deep Hydration With A Healthy, Luminous Glow
Our skin constantly grow and shed skin cells throughout our lives. As we age, the shedding process of the skin slows down and your complexion may slowly take on a dull, unhealthy appearance that make you look tired and wrinkled. In addition, the slowdown of production of collagen and hyaluronic acid make your skin look dry and scaly.
Other than slathering on layers of moisturizers to hydrate your moisture-starved skin, the good news is that there are other effortless ways to get back your healthy glow. One of our favorite skin hydration treatments is Skinbooster.
What is Skinbooster treatment?
Skinbooster (水光针) treatment is an injectable skin hydration treatment designed to improve skin quality from within. Unlike dermal fillers, which are typically used to restore volume or enhance facial contours, skinboosters are placed more superficially into the skin to improve hydration, elasticity, smoothness, and overall radiance.
Most skinboosters contain hyaluronic acid, a moisture-binding substance naturally found in the skin. When injected in small amounts across targeted areas, it helps to replenish hydration, improve skin texture, and support a smoother, more supple complexion. Skinbooster treatment may be suitable for patients with dull, dehydrated, rough, or tired-looking skin, as well as those who wish to improve fine lines and overall skin glow.
Common treatment areas include the face, neck, décolletage, and hands. Results usually develop gradually as the skin becomes better hydrated and more refreshed-looking over time. Depending on your skin condition and desired outcome, a series of sessions may be recommended, followed by maintenance treatments to sustain the improvement.
How Long Does Skinbooster Last?
The results of skinbooster treatment are temporary and typically last around 9 to 12 months, although this may vary from person to person. Longevity depends on several factors, including the type of skinbooster used, the treatment area, individual skin condition, lifestyle, metabolism, and how well the skin responds to treatment.
For optimal results, a series of treatment sessions may be recommended initially. These sessions are usually spaced about 1 to 2 months apart, depending on your skin needs and the treatment plan advised by your doctor. After the initial course, maintenance sessions may be recommended to help sustain hydration, smoothness, elasticity, and overall skin radiance.
As every patient’s skin is different, the ideal treatment frequency and maintenance schedule should be personalised. During consultation, your doctor will assess your skin condition, concerns, and goals before recommending a suitable skinbooster treatment plan for your individual needs.
How often must i repeat the treatment?
The frequency of skinbooster treatment depends on your skin condition, concerns, and desired outcome. In general, an initial course of treatments may be recommended to build up skin hydration, smoothness, and overall skin quality.
For many patients, skinbooster treatments are performed every 4 to 8 weeks during the initial treatment phase. Once the desired improvement is achieved, maintenance sessions may be recommended every 6 to 12 months, depending on how your skin responds, your lifestyle, age, skin type, and the product used.
As the effects of skinboosters are temporary, regular maintenance helps to sustain the benefits of improved hydration, elasticity, radiance, and smoother-looking skin. Your doctor will assess your skin and recommend a personalised treatment schedule based on your individual needs.
What are some areas that can be treated with Skinboosters?
Skinbooster (水光针) can be used to improve the following indications:
- General poor skin quality with dull-looking skin
- Reduce appearance of fine lines and wrinkles will look softer
- Areas of the skin usually exposed to sun such as neck, décolletage, and hands
- Acne-scarred skin
Are there any side effects?
Skinbooster treatment is generally well tolerated, but as with any injectable procedure, some side effects may occur. Common side effects are usually mild and temporary, and may include redness, swelling, tenderness, bruising, small bumps, or mild discomfort at the injection sites.
These effects typically settle within a few days, although bruising or swelling may take slightly longer for some individuals. Less commonly, patients may experience prolonged swelling, infection, unevenness, or small nodules under the skin.
To reduce the risk of side effects, skinbooster treatment should be performed by a qualified doctor after a proper consultation and skin assessment. Your doctor will review your medical history, assess your suitability, and provide aftercare instructions to support recovery and minimise the risk of complications.
Any preparation required before the treatment?
Before undergoing skinbooster treatment, a consultation with a qualified aesthetic doctor is recommended to assess your skin condition, medical history, concerns, and suitability for the procedure. Your doctor will also discuss your treatment goals and advise on the most appropriate product, treatment areas, and number of sessions required.
To reduce the risk of bruising or swelling, you may be advised to avoid alcohol, smoking, and strenuous exercise shortly before treatment. Where medically appropriate, you may also be advised to avoid blood-thinning medications or supplements such as aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, vitamin E, or ginkgo before the procedure. However, prescribed medications should not be stopped without first checking with your doctor.
It is important to inform your doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have active skin infections, allergies, a history of keloid scarring, autoimmune conditions, or if you have recently undergone other injectable or laser treatments. On the day of treatment, patients are generally advised to arrive with clean skin and avoid heavy makeup over the treatment area.
After the procedure, your doctor will provide aftercare instructions to help minimise redness, swelling, bruising, and irritation while supporting optimal recovery.
