What Are Skin Boosters & Bio-Stimulators?

Injectable skin boosters and bio-stimulating treatments have been gaining increasing popularity in recent years and have become a vital component of injectable rejuvenation treatments.

These are injectable treatments designed to enhance skin hydration, elasticity and overall texture. Unlike traditional dermal fillers that add volume, skin boosters work by delivering hyaluronic acid and other nourishing ingredients directly into the skin, improving overall skin quality, health and texture.

Biostimulators also act to boost collagen, therefore revitalising and rejuvenating the skin.

How Do Skin Boosters & Bio-Stimulators Work?

These treatments involve microinjections of hyaluronic acid and other revitalizing compounds into the superficial layers of the skin. This process stimulates collagen production, improves skin hydration and enhances skin firmness and elasticity.​

TEOSYAL® REDENSITY 1

This wonderful skin booster by the Swiss company Teoxane, aims to improve overall skin quality. It exhibits a “redensification” action, meaning it helps to maintain and restore skin density. Through its unique blend of hyaluronic acid, anti-oxidants, B vitamins and amino acids, it not only helps to stimulate collagen and improve skin hydration, but it also confers protection against oxidative stress.

BELOTERO REVIVE

This skin booster by Merz Pharma is especially indicated for revitalisation of early-onset photodamaged skin.

It works by targeting the early signs of photodamage, focusing on rehydration of the skin, improvement in skin suppleness, elasticity and firmness, and improving the appearance of pigmentation and fine lines. It does so through the action of its key ingredients: Hyaluronic Acid and Glycerol. Together they work as powerful hydrators, boosting skin hydration and glow from the inside out

RADIESSE

Radiesse is a dermal filler subtype which is made up of Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHa) instead of Hyaluronic Acid.

It has the ability to smoothen the appearance of moderate to severe facial lines or to provide volume to the back of the hands.

Although in its ‘neat’ form it is an excellent volumiser, perhaps its most exciting application is in its dilute or hyperdilute forms.

In this form, Radiesse can be administered over large areas such as the face, neck or decolletage and it has the ability to act as a very powerful spreadable biostimulator that boosts collagen production and can help lift and firm the skin.

What Areas Can Be Treated with Skin Boosters & Biostimulators?

Skin boosters are versatile and can be used to treat various areas, including:​

• Face

They are particularly effective for addressing fine lines, dullness, and dehydrated skin in these areas.​
