What is Skinbooster?
How do Skinboosters work?
Most skin boosters available in the market contains hyaluronic acid, which helps to increase the skin’s level of moisture, stimulate collagen production, and provide hydration. The procedure works by injecting a soft gel substance into the skin. As the substance flows into the targeted area, it will attract water to trigger the hydration.
The treatment is specially designed to deliver deep skin hydration. As the dermis’ hydration levels increase, improvements on the skin’s outer surface will start to appear. Regular maintenance treatment procedures are required to sustain results as the body may gradually break apart the skinboosters overtime.

Benefits of Rejuran Healer:
- Reduces pore size
- Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Improves acne scars
- Increases the skin’s firmness and elasticity
- Increases skin’s hydration levels
- Repairs damaged cells
- Regenerates cells
How Rejuran Healer Works
Rejuran Healer is made of PolyNucleotides (PNs), which came from salmon DNA fragments. PolyNucleotides helps to stimulate fibroblasts activities in the skin, which then triggers the skin cells to repair themselves. The treatment works by injecting the substance under the skin with proper precision. Rejuran Healer’s main purpose is to repair DNA or cellular damage caused by internal factors like aging and external factors such as pollution and UV damage. Rejuran Healer has the ability to “turn back time” as it makes the complexion look younger.
Profhilo
Profhilo is a new injectable treatment that is made up of hyaluronic acid, which improves the quality of the skin. It is also the BDDE-free Hyaluronic acid injection treatment that boosts, hydrates, and remodels the skin. The treatment has a unique feature to hydrate and fade the appearance of wrinkles and sagginess.
Profhilo also has a triggering response to the skin tissues called bio remodeling. Bio remodeling includes tightening and smoothening of the skin, giving it an inner glow. The treatment basically works to remodel the skin’s laxity. It is also used together with other treatment procedures. Profhilo is often mistaken for filler treatments. The difference between both treatments is that dermal fillers restore the volume while profhilo improves the quality.
Restylane Vital/Vital light Skinboosters
This procedure is partially a cross-linked hyaluronic acid chain which contains up to 20mg/ml of hyaluronic acid per syringe. Cross-linkage of treatment represents how dense the hyaluronic acid chain can be in the skin booster. The more cross-linked hyaluronic acid is, means that the effects will last longer.
The skinbooster Restylane helps the skin to regain its youthful appearance by recharging its hyaluronic acid reserves. As it is injected into the skin, hyaluronic acid molecules will absorb water up to 200 times its mass. This gives the needed suppleness and deep skin hydration.
Teosyal Redensity I
Teosyal Redensity I or RDI is not a cross-linked skin booster that originated from Switzerland. Each syringe of Teosyal Redensty I contains 15mg/ml of hyaluronic acid. The difference of RDI from other skin booster treatments is that it contains three powerful and highly efficient antioxidants, eight amino acids, two minerals, and one vitamin. The most notable antioxidant found in Teosyal Redensity I is Glutathione. Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant, which is also the main ingredient in Gluta or whitening drips. Since Teosyal Redensity I contains glutathione, it helps to make the skin fairer while hydrating it from within effectively.
Juvederm Volite
The treatment contains 13mg/ml of cross-linked hyaluronic acid per syringe. Unlike other treatments that usually requires three sessions, Juvederm Volite only requires one session ( two syringes are needed per treatment procedure). This is made possible due to Juvederm’s unique cross-linkage and patented Vycross™ technology made by Allergan (makers of Juvederm fillers and Botox).
One treatment of Juvederm Volite is enough to boost the skin’s elasticity and hydration for up to nine months. This type of treatment also has less downtime. Consult with a specialist to know more about the treatment and if it will work effectively on you.
Benefits of Skin Boosters
Skinboosters usually contain hyaluronic acid. This makes it similar to dermal fillers. What makes skin boosters different from fillers is how they are injected. Instead of injecting the substances into the dermis to enhance the surface of the skin, it hydrates and improves its overall quality. Other benefits of boosters include:
- Reducing fine lines and wrinkles
- Boosting skin’s hydration levels
- Supports other treatment procedures
- Reduces the appearance of acne scars

How are Skinbooster injected?
Skinbooster works best with the injector device. Although, it is not suitable for Rejuran Healer or any cross-link hyaluronic acid skin boosters such as Juvederm Volite as these types of treatments are more viscous and such can block the injector device. Most doctors prefer manual injection as it reduces wastage from product leakage, and it also provides better effects. It also reduces the downtime from the treatment procedure. Manual injections can be slightly uncomfortable, but with the help of numbing creams, most patients can tolerate the pain.
