Skin Boosters, unlike dermal fillers, use a lightweight hyaluronic acid gel to hydrate skin layers and stimulate collagen production. They enhance skin hydration and promote natural collagen production without altering facial structure. Skin Boosters, such as Juvederm Volite, are versatile and can be applied to various areas needing rejuvenation. These include the face for a refreshed glow, around the eyes to reduce dark circles and fine lines, as well as the décolletage and hands for improved skin quality.
The treatment involves placing tiny injections of skin booster at the skin level, which then attract moisture to hydrate and plump the treated area. The results, developing over 4 weeks, can last up to 9 months, providing a healthier, more vibrant skin appearance.
