Skinboosters

Treatment

Skin boosters are an injection treatment that aim to improve the hydration, elasticity, hydration and smoothness of the skin. The injection contains hyaluronic acid. This is a substance that occurs naturally in the skin, however it fades and depletes with age.

The injections can restore hyaluronic acid in the skin, giving it a more youthful look and appearance. They are most commonly used to rejuvenate the face, giving benefits such as a healthier skin tone, reduction in wrinkles and better skin hydration.

AZ Medispa Aesthetics offers the Skinbooster treatment, it is generally hyaluronic acid based solutions so that they are injected into the skin to improve the appearance of skin on your face, the end result is to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

They provide optimal results due to their ability to work from the inside out, stimulating your body to make its own collagen and elastin. Other areas than can be treated include face, neck, chest, arms, hands, abdomen, knees.
