What Are Skin Boosters? Everything to Know About the New Injectable
Various irritants, such as long-term exposure to ultraviolet rays, contribute to skin deterioration. They lead to a decrease in collagen and elastin production, thinning of the dermal layer and loss of skin elasticity. The skin aging process affects both men and women starting at the age of 25.
Skin aging doesn't wait until you reach the age of 50; it starts as early as age 25. Under the influence of unfavorable environmental factors and as hormonal activity in the body fades, the mechanism of "fading" is triggered. Elasticity and moisturization of the skin decreases, it becomes thinner and wrinkles appear. Later, sagging and changes in pigmentation appear.
Profhilo counteracts the signs of aging by regenerating the skin from within. Skin rejuvenation and preventive measures against skin aging with skinboosters are effective treatments that will pleasantly surprise you with the results:
- increased moisturization;
- improvement of skin structure;
- brightening of skin tone;
- reduction of pore size;
- skin tone equalization;
- skin tightening by stimulating collagen production;
- reducing and controlling the appearance of acne;
- anti-aging action;
- regulation of sebum;
- reduction of expression lines.
Restoration of skin cell structure is possible thanks to the activity of fibroblasts - cells that produce elastin, collagen and hyaluronic acid. Elastin gives the dermis elasticity, allowing it to regain its shape after stretching, while collagen keeps the skin firm. Hyaluronic acid, in turn, provides moisture and preserves tissue volume. As we age, the skin's ability to self-repair decreases due to changes in the number and quality of fibroblasts, as well as a decrease in the synthesis of the above substances.
The role of hyaluronic acid in the skin
Hyaluronic acid plays an important role in various tissues of the body, being an integral element of the intercellular space. One molecule of this compound is able to hold 200 to 500 molecules of water, turning it into a gel and thus ensuring the moisturizing process. The main function of hyaluronic acid is to maintain the volume and moisture level of the skin, mucous membranes, eyes, muscles and articulations.
Important functions of hyaluronic acid include:
- protective properties;
- regenerative ability;
- immune stimulation;
- counteracting glycation and others.
As we age, the process of hyaluronic acid synthesis slows down, resulting in loss of elasticity and freshness of tissues. Since the 90s of the last century, hyaluronic acid has been actively used in medicine, both in the form of external agents and in the form of injections.
Advantages of hyaluronic acid injections over cosmetic products
The use of cosmetic products with hyaluronic acid has little effect, as it only temporarily moisturizes the top layer of the skin without penetrating into its deeper layers due to its large molecular weight. In contrast, hyaluronic acid injections provide direct delivery to the deep layers of the skin, providing effective hydration and stimulating collagen synthesis.
To increase the reserves of hyaluronic acid, biorevitalization methods have been developed that involve the administration of this substance by injection. This allows to correct skin dehydration and prevent skin aging.
Injections of hyaluronic acid help to eliminate such problems as:
- skin matting;
- dark circles under the eyes;
- age spots;
- superficial wrinkles on the face, neck, décolletage, hands and other exposed skin areas.
Skinboosters: mechanism of action and benefits
The term "skinbooster" was first proposed by the company-manufacturer of the Restylane line in 2006 to denote a preparation based on stabilized hyaluronic acid. The emergence of products such as Restylane Vital® was due to the need for a safe means of preventing and correcting signs of skin aging. Studies have confirmed the rejuvenating properties of skinbusters.
Skinboosters are administered under the skin or subcutaneously by injection. They are more effective than biorevitalizers and creams, as their molecules penetrate into the deep layers of the skin and contribute to solving the problem more intensively. With their help, it is easy to achieve deep and long-lasting skin moisturization and rejuvenation.
The mechanism of skinbooster's prolonged action in tissues is the stabilization of the hyaluronic acid chain, which temporarily prevents its destruction by enzymes.
Profhilo Skinbooster
Profhilo is an innovative product containing a stabilized hybrid complex derived from NAHYCO technology. This bioremodulator is formulated without the use of chemical compounds for cross-linking hyaluronic acid and is designed to eliminate skin laxity and dryness. The product stimulates the activation of fibroblasts and contains hyaluronic acid with different molecular masses, which gives profhilo injections a multifaceted effect.
The main benefits of the product
- Skin moisturization and reinforcement is provided due to the presence of low molecular weight acid.
- Improvement of blood circulation and stimulation of collagen synthesis is achieved due to the action of high-molecular hyaluronic acid.
For which cases is the preparation recommended?
Profhilo filler is recommended for patients facing problems such as:
- Dullness and dryness of the skin;
- Pigmentation;
- Wrinkles and scars.
The drug is developed by Institut Biochimique SA (IBSA), a Swiss drug manufacturer. It is currently manufactured by IBSA's subsidiary IBSA Farmaceutici Italia.
In what areas can skinbooster injections be used? Skinboosters can be injected not only in the skin of the face, but also in the décolletage, neck, hands, and other exposed areas of the body. The effects in these areas appear quickly and are enhanced with subsequent treatments. Skinboosters are also used to correct scars and stretch marks.
What results can I expect after a revitalization procedure with Skinboosters?
After a revitalization procedure, skin texture is improved, skin elasticity is improved, and skin color is restored. Cell regeneration processes are also activated. Revitalization helps to prevent the first signs of aging, being an effective method of wrinkle prevention and treatment of dry skin. Many people notice these positive changes after the first revitalization procedure using skinboosters.
It is worth noting that there are certain contraindications to the use of this product:
- Acute manifestation of chronic diseases.
- Occurrence of infectious diseases.
- Oncologic disorders.
- Identified sensitivity to the constituent components of the drug.
- Period of pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Profhilo is a universal drug that can be combined with a wide range of injectable and hardware techniques. Especially often this technique is used in preoperative preparation before plastic interventions. In addition, the use of the drug perfectly complements the procedures of thread lifting and contour plastics.
Another significant scenario for the use of Profhilo treatment is the recovery of skin after aggressive procedures, such as chemical peeling or laser resurfacing. However, it is important to remember that in such cases, biorevitalization should be performed no earlier than one week after the previous exposure. Observance of this interval is mandatory, as carrying out both procedures on the same day is strictly prohibited to avoid possible complications.
