Skin Boosters
Skin Boosters
Skin boosters and dermal fillers share similarities in their composition, but they diverge in their purpose. While they are both made from similar substances, the contrasting factor is that skin boosters are non-structural. In other words, their focus lies solely on enhancing the skin itself rather than providing support to the facial structures and features.
Skin boosters replenish the body's depleted naturally occurring substance that plays a vital role in preserving skin hydration. Skin boosters can help to revitalise the skin from within, effectively restoring its hydro-balance. In doing so, skin boosters can increase elasticity, and improving skin structure. This process results in a more hydrated and vibrant skin appearance.
