SKIN BOOSTERS Thunder Bay
A fresh approach to skin rejuvenation, designed to deliver hydration and improvements to skin imperfections resulting in radiant healthy skin.
​
Skin boosters are a type of medical aesthetic treatment used to improve the appearance and quality of the skin. These treatments typically involve injecting hyaluronic acid or other similar substances into the skin to hydrate, rejuvenate, and revitalize it. Hyaluronic acid is a natural component of the skin that helps maintain its moisture and volume.
How do Skin Boosters work?
​
Hyaluronic acid is a natural component of your skin that keeps it hydrated and soft. With age, or due to a harsh environment, the hyaluronic acid content in your skin may decrease, and your skin may lose some of its elasticity and hydration.
Skin Boosters restore the natural composition of your skin. It boosts skin elasticity and you will notice a reduction of skin roughness. Your skin becomes smooth and hydrated for a refreshed and healthy look.
How many treatments will I need?
​
Skin Boosters gradually builds up your skin’s hydration and smoothness. A typical treatment program starts with 3 treatment sessions, 2-4 weeks apart. You will notice an improvement already after the first session, but the full effect will be visible after the last session. After these initial treatments, a maintenance treatment is typically recommended every 4-6 months to ensure lasting results.
What should I expect from a Skin Booster treatment?
​
Before treatment, you will receive a complimentary consultation with one of our Medical Professionals who will address your concerns and create a customized treatment plan. If you decide to have treatment completed your provider will disinfect the area that will be treated. Tiny droplets of hyaluronic acid will then be injected just below the skin surface through a fine needle to rehydrate your skin.
Are Skin Booster treatments painful?
