achieve effective results in the face, neck and décolletage as well as the backs
of hands, elbows and knees.’
For best results, Skinboosters is injected into the deep dermis and
subcutaneous tissue. This affords deeper hydration, and helps optimise the
performance of the dermal-epidermal membrane, ensuring the complexion
remains hydrated and nourished.
‘Skinboosters works best when injected into the deep dermis upwards to
the subcutaneous layer. I personally prefer administering Skinboosters with a
cannula, as opposed to using needles,’ says Dr McCurdy. ‘Although it takes a
little longer, there is less discomfort and less bruising.’
Treatment with Skinboosters can be tailored to the individual patient. In most
cases, Dr McCurdy recommends using 3mm of Skinboosters initially on the
face, with extra product used for the neck area. The procedure itself takes
around 30 to 45 minutes, and some swelling should be expected in the days
following the procedure.
In some cases, Skinboosters can be used in conjunction with other treatments
to create a more comprehensive result. ‘Although Skinboosters can achieve
significant results, it doesn’t do the whole job,’ Dr McCurdy explains. ‘Using
muscle relaxant injections, laser treatment and filler products to enhance deficits
and improve features, is important for a full anti-ageing effect. Any rejuvenation
method should also be accompanied by good skincare.’
Results with Skinboosters are cumulative, and take around three to four
months to appear. This gives time for the collagen and elastin to remodel and
develop, due to the deep hydration. These results are expected to last for six to
nine months following treatment, however Dr McCurdy says it is often longer.
‘I feel the benefits are visible for more than 12 months,’ he says. ‘At our
clinic, we find Skinboosters results in decreased wrinkles, smaller pores, fewer
blemishes and generally younger, healthier looking skin.’
For those looking for a preventative or anti-ageing measure, that will achieve
subtle but effective rejuvenation results, Skinboosters is a viable option in helping
restore smoothness, vitality and hydration to the complexion.
‘Skin hydration is beneficial for everyone, both male and female,’ says Dr
McCurdy. ‘Because we live in air-conditioned and heated buildings, our skin
dries out very quickly, so deep hydration is a must. We have young and old
patients seeking treatment with Skinboosters, as more and more people become
aware of the need to look after their skin to maintain a healthier, more fresh
appearance.’ csbm
