Skin Boosters: the natural strengthening of the skin
Skin Boosters are a new version of hyaluronic acid, which, unlike the well-known growth material that is injected under the skin to give volume, is injected into the skin to stimulate collagen production and give a boost of hydration and freshness to the entire face.
At Tzouma Clinic the doctors of the clinic use only branded skin boosters such as Restylane vital and juviderm volite. They are trained in the use of skin boosters with the newest anti-ageing techniques.
– How does Skin Boosters work?
In recent years, university research shows that hyaluronic acid can achieve much more than hydration. It seems that fibroblasts (the cells that synthesise collagen) have special receptors that are stimulated by hyaluronic acid and thus give the signal for the synthesis of new collagen. The effect is reorganised fibers and firmer skin.
To use this finding, scientists designed a mixture of hyaluronic acid compounds that have different molecular weights to achieve substantial and measurable thickening of the skin with an effect that lasts at least nine months.
– How to apply the skin boosters
The application of skin boosters is simple and short. It is an injectable treatment using a multiple pinches technique to inject the material in great depth. The material itself contains lidocaine to make the application painless while its needles are the finest available. The doctor first draws a grid/line on the face to distribute the injection sites. Based on the needs the design is modified and personalised.
The application involves numerous tiny pinches depending on the arrangement of this grid with the needles of the skin booster so that the material is distributed evenly.

– Right after the treatment with skin boosters
Right after the procedure the face looks renewed and firmer as there is a small film of hyaluronic acid under the skin which without giving volume gives a natural boost! On the first day you may perhaps notice some small bruises or mild irritation from the pinches. As the days go by the skin steadily improves. It looks thicker, tighter, shinier and so well hydrated!
– How long does the effect last?
Correction with Skin Boosters lasts from nine months to a year depending on the needs of the skin. But even after this time the skin does not return to its original condition. The new collagen fibres created thanks to the skin booster still keep the skin firm and youthful. In fact, if the treatment is repeated, the effects multiply and last longer each time. They usually last 6-9 months.
– When is the application of skin boosters recommended and in which cases?
- It is suitable for all skin types
- It can be used at all ages. After forty for rejuvenating, thickening and stimulating skin elasticity. Before forty for texture improvement, radiance, serious prevention and deep hydration
- Treatment of some types of acne scars
- Correction of imperfections on the surface of the skin
- Treatment of dry and dehydrated skin
- For “smoker’s wrinkles” on the upper lip, a difficult spot that cannot be corrected even with a scalpel
- It can be used all over the face, neck, décolleté and hands for natural skin rejuvenation along with light filling without giving volume.
