Skinbooster
Deep, tailor-made hydration

A very lightly cross-linked hyaluronic acid, designed to hydrate the skin from within. In the clinic, I use two products depending on the skin and the indication: Stylage Hydromax (Vivacy) and Skinvive by Juvéderm (Allergan).

The protocol

Hydration, exactly where it is needed.

A skinbooster is not a filler. It is a very lightly cross-linked, fluid hyaluronic acid gel designed to spread through the dermis without creating volume. It captures water, boosts collagen and elastin production, and transforms the very quality of the skin tissue.

In the clinic, I have chosen to work with two products. We do not mix them: depending on the skin, age, and the area to be treated, we choose the one that suits you best together. For an adequate result on the face, two syringes are required per session.

Thorough makeup removal and cleansing of the area to be treated.

Micro-injections using an ultra-fine needle or a cannula depending on the area. The session lasts 45 minutes in total.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Stylage Hydromax and Skinvive by Juvéderm are two excellent skinboosters, each with its own indications. We do not combine both on the same patient: depending on your skin, your age, and the area, we choose the one that suits you best together.

No. These are not fillers. A skinbooster is designed to improve skin quality—hydration, radiance, texture—without creating volume or modifying facial contours.

Both techniques are possible depending on the area and the chosen product. The needle allows for very precise distribution in micro-droplets; the cannula limits bruising on larger areas. The choice is made at the time of the session.

The initial course is ideally 3 sessions at one-month intervals, using 2 syringes per session for an adequate result on the face. Annual maintenance is then sufficient to maintain the results.

Small injection bumps are visible for 24 to 48 hours, perfectly coverable with foundation from the next day. A bruise may occur in the case of a needle injection, as with any injection. No intense physical activity for 48 hours.

Yes, these are excellent indications. These areas often betray age before the face; the skinbooster restores density, hydration, and light to them.

The skinbooster hydrates; that is its primary function. PRP and polynucleotides repair and regenerate. These protocols are complementary and can be combined throughout the year.

Radiance is not luck. It is well-managed hydration.
