Skinboosters

Restylane Skinboosters are a type of injectable treatment specifically designed to improve skin quality, hydration, and stimulate your own body's collagen and elastic production. Here's how they work their magic:

Hydration Heroes:

• Hyaluronic Acid (HA): Restylane Skinboosters are made of hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance in your skin. HA acts like a magnet, attracting and holding onto water molecules within the skin, keeping it plump and hydrated. Our own HA breaksdown very quickly, making it harder to hold onto moisture as we age. Skinbooster HA is reinforced and highly concentrated for long lasting results.

• Targeted Delivery: Restylane Skinboosters use a very thin HA gel injected in tiny amounts into the middle layer of your skin. This targeted placement delivers intense hydration exactly where it's needed; to the cells that make collagen, elastin and your own hyaluronic acid.

Boosting Beyond Hydration:

While hydration is a key benefit, Restylane Skinboosters offer more:

• Stimulating Collagen Production: The gentle micro-injections trigger the production of collagen, a protein that provides structural support to your skin. Increased collagen helps to improve skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

• Enhanced Cell Turnover: Restylane Skinboosters can promote a healthy turnover of skin cells, leading to a brighter and more radiant complexion.

The Results You Can Expect:

With a series of Restylane Skinbooster treatments, you can experience:

• Improved Hydration: Your skin will feel smoother, plumper, and more supple.

• Reduced Fine Lines: Fine lines and wrinkles will appear less noticeable, giving you a smoother and more youthful appearance.

• Enhanced Elasticity: Increased collagen production will improve skin elasticity, leading to a tighter and more youthful look.

• Radiant Complexion: Improved cell turnover can result in a brighter and more even skin tone.

The Treatment Process:

Restylane Skinboosters involve a course of three treatments, each spaced 4 weeks apart, for results lasting 6-12 months. The specific number of sessions will depend on your individual needs and desired outcome. Byova's experienced professionals will create a personalised treatment plan to achieve your optimal results.

• Try not to drink any alcohol within 24 hours prior to your appointment or caffeine on the day of your appointment.

• Arrive to your appointment without make-up or we can remove it for you.

• Do not have Skinbooster treatment 2-4 weeks before or after a laser treatment or chemical peel, as this can increase swelling and redness.

Skinboosters typically involve minimal downtime, allowing you to get back to your daily routine quickly. Immediately after treatment, you might experience some minor swelling, redness, or tenderness at the injection sites. This is usually temporary and resolves within a few hours or days.

To avoid the risk of any complications, please follow the below after care:

• Most people will be able to return to normal activities.

• For the first 24 hours after being treated, do not apply makeup or have a spray tan and avoid unnecessarily touching your face as this will help to reduce the risk of infection. You can still wash your face as normal with clean hands.

• Avoid alcohol for 24-48 hours after being treated to reduce swelling and redness.

• Avoid vigorous exercise, sunbathing, extreme temperature (hot and cold) such as saunas/steam baths to reduce prolonged swelling, redness and infection risk.

• Do not have Skinbooster treatment 2-4 weeks before or after a laser treatment, IPL or chemical peel, as this can increase swelling and redness.

• Avoid sun tanning or tanning bed use as UV rays can break down the product faster and reduce the effect. After treatment, wear sunscreen.

• Do not have dermal filler, facial massages, facial-electro stimulation, dermaroller/microneedling, semi-permanent makeup or microdermabrasion for two weeks after your treatment, and not until your treatment has completely healed. This is to reduce swelling and infection risk.

• Some tenderness during and after treatment is normal. You can use painkillers and cold compresses (a clean cloth dipped in cold water, wrung out, applied to the injected area) to help any discomfort. Arnica cream, fresh pineapples/bromelain tablets can reduce bruising and swelling.

• If redness, tenderness, itching and swelling continues to worsen after a few days, contact us.

• Escalating pain is not normal, and you must contact us for follow up.

The results you can achieve with Restylane Skinboosters can last anywhere from 6 months to up to 12 months, depending on several factors:

• HA Breakdown: Your body naturally breaks down hyaluronic acid (HA) over time. While Restylane Skinboosters use a reinforced form of HA, individual factors like your metabolism can influence how quickly your body breaks down the HA, impacting the longevity of the results.

• Treatment course length: The number of Restylane Skinbooster treatments you receive will influence how long the results last. Typically, a course of 3 treatments 1 month apart is recommended to achieve optimal results. Then usually only a single session is needed at 6 month intervals. These follow-up sessions help replenish the HA and maintain the improvements.

• Skin Condition: The starting condition of your skin can play a role. If you have very dry or damaged skin, the results might not last as long compared to someone with naturally more hydrated skin.

• Lifestyle Habits: Sun exposure, smoking, and unhealthy lifestyle choices can accelerate the breakdown of HA and collagen. By practicing sun protection, maintaining a healthy diet, and staying hydrated, you can contribute to longer-lasting results.

Here's what you can expect:

• Initial Improvement: You will notice a subtle improvement in hydration and a more radiant complexion within the first few days after the initial treatment.

• Optimal Results: The full effects of Restylane Skinboosters typically take around 4-6 weeks to develop as the HA integrates and collagen production increases. The result increases with more sessions.

• Long-lasting Benefits: You can expect to enjoy the results of Restylane Skinboosters for 6 months to a year.

During your consultation at Byova, our experienced professionals will discuss your individual needs and create a personalised treatment plan to achieve your desired outcome and ensure you enjoy the long-lasting benefits of Restylane Skinboosters.

• Pregnant and breast-feeding women.

• People with an allergy to hyaluronic acid, lidocaine and a general history of severe allergic reactions. Please discuss with your practitioner.

• If you have an active infection, cold sore, acne or inflammation at the site of injection.

• If you have a bleeding disorder, such as haemophilia.

• If you have had surgery on your face, your anatomy may have been altered.

• Some supplements such as Vitamin A, C or E, Ginkgo Biloba, Garlic, fish oils, St. John's Wort or some pain killing medicines such as aspirin, or ibuprofen or bloodthinning medication can increase your risk of bruising.

Whilst Restylane Skinboosters are an extremely safe and effective treatment, it's important to be aware of some potential risks involved. Here's a summary to ensure you make an informed decision:

Possible Side Effects:

• Temporary Discomfort: The injection process can cause some minor swelling, redness, tenderness, or bruising, itching and bleeding at the injection sites. These effects are usually temporary and resolve quite quickly or within a few hours or days.

• Allergic Reaction: Although rare, allergic reactions to the product are possible.

• Infection: As with any injection procedure, there's a slight risk of infection. Byova uses strict sterilisation protocols and experienced medical professionals to minimise this risk.

• Lump Formation: In rare cases, small bumps or nodules may form at the injection site. These can typically be addressed by massage or additional injections, or require the antibiotics.

Extremely rare risks:

• Vascular Occlusion: In extremely rare cases, an injection can block a blood vessel. This can lead to a lack of blood flow, and if left untreated, can lead to tissue necrosis in the affected area. Symptoms may include severe pain, blistering, and skin discoloration. It is usually immediately obvious that a vascular occlusion has occured and can be safely reversed with filler dissolving injections.

• Vision changes: This is an exceptionally rare complication, but it's important to be aware of it. Misplaced product near the eye area can potentially impede blood flow to the retina, leading to vision problems or even blindness. Again, choosing a highly skilled and experienced professional significantly reduces this risk.

• Skin discolouration at the site of injection.
