What is a skin booster treatment
A skin booster is an injectable treatment aimed at improving skin quality. Unlike fillers, which add volume, skin boosters are designed to hydrate the skin and support skin structure.
Many skin boosters contain hyaluronic acid, a substance that occurs naturally in the skin and can retain moisture. By injecting this substance into the skin, the skin can remain better hydrated and look more even.
Depending on the type of skin booster, other active ingredients may also be used, such as amino acids or polynucleotides that support skin regeneration.
