Improving patients' skin quality using skin boosters in aesthetic practice

Abstract

Improving skin quality can have a huge impact on the way that patients feel about their appearance. During ageing, there is a disruption to the normal organisation of skin cells, and its overall capacity for repair is reduced. The main component of skin boosters is hyaluronic acid, and, with its known hydrophilic properties, skin boosters are used to improve skin hydration. They also have some biomedical and tissue regeneration potential. These treatments have become very popular and, therefore, as a practitioner, it is useful to be able to offer these treatments to patients. Patient selection and managing expectations are extremely important, as well as knowledge of products and how to use them safely and effectively. Incorporating skin boosters into an aesthetic practice can provide the opportunity to assist patients with improving their skin quality, and they can be offered to a wide range of patients of various ages and skin types.
