Age, stress, hormonal imbalance, sun exposure, tobacco, and a careless lifestyle are all the factors involved that hasten skin ageing. As skin ageing can happen at any age, it doesn’t help that our lifestyle and diet further accentuate the loss of luminosity on your face.
As your complexion dulls, lines will start to develop, leading to uneven skin texture, wrinkles, and lines to appear. All these parameters will create dark areas on your face that leads to your skin gradually losing its ability to reflect light.
The balance between detoxifying molecules (antioxidants) and toxic elements (oxidants) can be disturbed by many external factors and lead to oxidative stress. Excessive oxidant attacks the skin and decreases its elasticity and tonicity, leaving the skin dry and dehydrated.
Hydration is an important component of skin quality, which is a collection of desirable skin attributes that encompasses how skin looks, feels and moves.
Thanks to our Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Skin Boosters Treatment, it is now possible to restore this balance by adequately nourishing the skin from within.
At My Bliss Clinic, there are 2 types of novel HA skin boosters available – Skinvive by Juvederm and Teoxane Redensity I.
What is Skinvive by Juvederm?
Skinvive is a US FDA approved HA microdroplet injection for skin smoothness and hydration from Juvederm, the world’s leading brand of hyaluronic acid dermal fillers. It is the only HA injectable that delivers up to 9 months of deep hydration and radiance in just one treatment.
It is a minimally invasive injectable treatment that delivers hyaluronic acid directly into the dermis layer of the skin. Hyaluronic acid attracts water to hydrate the skin, improve elasticity, reduce fine lines and enhance glow of your skin.
What is Teoxane Redensity I?
Redensity I is an innovative HA-based injectable that has been developed by Teoxane from Switzerland to improve skin quality. By injecting Redensity I into the dermal layer (deeper layer) of your skin, it helps to redensify your skin deep down and restores its ability to reflect light. This innovative treatment provides a more uniform and totally natural result.
Redensity I is a unique hyaluronic acid-based skin enhancer which prevents premature skin ageing, restores skin density, and maintains the skin’s natural glow. It is an exclusive formula that is derived from a rigorous selection of non-allergenic ingredients such as:
1. Hyaluronic acid – great for deep dermal rehydration and redensification.
2. Dermo-Restructuring Complex – a combination of natural components that are all synergistically involved to redensify the dermis and provide antioxidant protection: 3 potent antioxidants, 2 minerals, 1 vitamin, and 8 amino acids.
3. Lidocaine – anaesthetic effect for more injection comfort.
The skin booster treatment is recommended to be done once every 3 to 4 weeks for 3 sessions, and thereafter once every 6 months for optimal results.
Who should go for the skin booster treatment?
Skin booster treatment is recommended for those with:
• Dull and tired skin
• Tone and radiance loss
• Wrinkles and lines
• Pigmentation
• Dehydrated skin
Which areas can be treated?
Skin booster treatment is suitable for the face, in particular, the under eyes and lips, and neck, decolletage, and hands.
Is skin booster treatment painful? Is it safe?
Skin booster treatment is tolerable after some numbing cream application prior to the procedure and very fine needles are used during the treatment. It is safe for all skin types. Both Skinvive by Juvederm and Teoxane Redensity I have excellent safety profiles and are produced by the world’s renowned brands.
Is there any downtime after this treatment?
There will be redness and swelling for half a day or rare minor bruising which may take about a week to resolve. These can be covered with make-up after the treatment.
Skin boosters are mainly used for skin hydration and to make the skin glow. If you are looking for a more overall improvement on the skin texture and complexion, Rejuran Healer PDRN and Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) will be the better options.
