Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is hailed as a bit of a superstar in the beauty world and is well famed for its hydrating properties, often found in moisturising skin creams and, of course, dermal fillers. But what about a non-surgical treatment that makes use of the benefits of HA to hydrate and rejuvenate the whole complexion? Look no further than our Skin Boosting Injections at VIVA, designed to improve overall skin quality and induce some serious glow envy.

What product do you use?

For our skin booster treatments, we use several brands depending on the desired results.

Brands we use for skin boosters at VIVA:

• Sculptra
• Lumi Eyes (for the eye area)
• Harmonyca
• Profhilo
• Seventy Hyal

All our skin boosters with the exception of Sculptra are HA based but contain different additional additives to help improve skin quality. Lumi eyes is a PDRN injectable that utilises filtered salmon DNA and Harmonyca is a mixture of HA and Poly-L-Actic which improves collagen production lasting up to two years.

How does the procedure work?

The treatment involves using a series of micro-injections across the area to be treated. Topical anaesthetic is applied to ensure client comfort and ultra-fine needles are used to achieve precise product delivery just under the skin’s surface. The procedure can be used across the face and neck and even hands to restore hydration and elasticity.

Who can benefit?

Skin boosters are a versatile treatment option and are suitable for anyone looking to hydrate, plump and smooth their skin. They work wonderfully to target dryness, roughness and fine lines and can considerably improve tone and texture.

How much product will I need?

We would usually expect to use around 2ml of Skin boosters to achieve desired results but the exact amount of product required will be discussed during your one-to-one consultation. You can expect to see results after just one treatment but you may benefit from 2-3 sessions. Again, this will depend on your individual treatment plan. Results can be expected to last 6-9 months unless using Sculptra or Harmonyca, these products can last up to two years.

Quick look benefits:

• Hydrates and conditions.
• Plumps and smooths depressions in the skin.
• Improves complexion tone and texture.
• Improves the appearance of rough, dry skin.
• Helps to smooth fine lines and wrinkles.

Do I need a consultation?

Yes – all clients need to have a virtual consultation before any new procedure. This is a great chance for you to discuss your treatment plan with our expert, Dr. Rupert, from the comfort of your own home and ask any of those burning questions you may have.
