Hyaluronic Acid occurs naturally within your body. It’s a substance capable of holding up to 1,000x its own weight in water, which gives skin its youthful, hydrated flow and tighter appearance. While there are many skincare products on the market that boast about hyaluronic acid, the topical application only offers momentary hydration and plumping effects. What if you could take that valuable substance and put it directly under the skin’s surface, where it’s needed most?

Two types of Resytlane® Skinboosters: Vital and Vital Light

Vital and Vital Light both help to stimulate the growth of collagen and provide long-lasting hydration to the injection area. With the use of a small needle, Restylane® Skin Boosters are injected deeply into the skin, yielding better results. As with all types of cosmetic injections, you can expect some minor tenderness, redness, and swelling or bruising around the injection site, but it won’t last very long. Numbing cream will be used ahead of time to make the treatment more comfortable for you.

What to Expect?

An initial course of three treatments is recommended for optimal results with each treatment being scheduled four weeks from the last. This gives your skin plenty of time to absorb the hyaluronic acid injected with each treatment and maximize the effects of the treatments. You’ll notice that the results will begin to appear very gradually in the weeks following your treatment session.

Each session only takes about 10 to 15 minutes to complete, and you’ll be able to return to your daily activities with virtually no downtime whatsoever. Following your initial treatments, a 6-month injection may be required for maintenance. However, the need for these maintenance treatments will become less frequent with time. This means that the more treatments you receive, the longer your results last.

Before you come to the office for an injection, be sure to follow any advice the clinical staff has given you, such as avoiding alcohol and anti-inflammatory medications in the week leading up to your treatment. This will help make sure that your recovery process goes smoothly. Following your treatment, you will be advised to avoid swimming, excessive sun exposure, and excessive heat exposure for the first day or two. You’ll be asked to avoid wearing makeup for the next 24 hours after your injection.

One of the beautiful things about Restylane® Skinboosters is that they can be used in multiple areas of your body to improve skin shine, skin elasticity, acne scarring, skin texture, and the appearance of fine wrinkles. You can also have Restylane® Skinboosters injected into your neck, into the backs of your hands.
