Unlocking radiant skin: Your guide to skin boosters

If you’re after a glowy-looking complexion, you might reach for a hyaluronic acid serum, or other hydrating skincare products to give your skin a temporary boost of hydration. But do you know that there is another option that can go beyond the surface and improve the skin’s overall quality and radiance?

This is where skin boosters come in- including BELOTERO® Revive. Let’s dive into the facts about skin boosters, their benefits, how long they last, potential side effects, and what makes BELOTERO Revive stand out.

So, what are skin boosters?

Skin boosters are a non-surgical injectable treatment, which can improve skin quality and hydration. Unlike traditional dermal fillers that target wrinkles or restore lost volume, skin boosters focus on overall skin quality, rather than augmenting your face. The treatment involves injecting a hydrating substance, often hyaluronic acid, into the skin to replenish moisture, reduce redness and roughness, and create a radiant complexion.

Hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance found in the body, is known for its water-retaining abilities, and is often found in topical skincare products. Through its use in skin boosters, its benefits can go further- beneath the surface layers of the skin, hydrating it from the inside out.

What are the benefits of skin boosters?

Skin booster injections offer a variety of benefits, making them a popular choice for those seeking a refreshed and youthful appearance. They can improve skin hydration by attracting and retaining water in the treated areas. As a result, this enhanced hydration can lead to smoother, more supple skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

How long do skin boosters last?

Skin boosters are known for their relatively long-lasting effects, with results typically lasting six months to a year following a full treatment course. The duration can vary based on individual factors such as skin type, age, and lifestyle.

Regular maintenance sessions can extend the benefits of skin booster treatments, ensuring that your skin remains hydrated and radiant over time. It’s essential to consult with a qualified healthcare professional to determine the most suitable treatment plan for your unique needs.

Are there any side effects of skin boosters?

While skin boosters are generally well-tolerated, it’s crucial to be aware of potential side effects. Common side effects include temporary redness, swelling, lumps, nodules, and bruising at the injection site immediately following the treatment. These reactions are usually mild and subside within a few days. The above is not a comprehensive list of all possible side effects – please talk to your healthcare professional for further information.

Choosing a skilled and experienced healthcare practitioner is paramount in minimising these risks. Always disclose your medical history and any ongoing medications to your healthcare professional to ensure treatment plans are tailored to you.

What is BELOTERO Revive and how is it different from other skin boosters?

BELOTERO Revive is a skin booster that stands out among others due to its formulation- not only does it contain hyaluronic acid, but it also includes the addition of glycerol.

Glycerol is a humectant, meaning it attracts water, and it’s often used in skincare products to help lock in moisture. When combined with hyaluronic acid, it has also shown that glycerol enhances its strength.

The combination of hyaluronic acid and glycerol in BELOTERO Revive can result in enhanced hydration and a reduction of the early signs of sun damage– through a noticeable improvement in skin quality, firmness, elasticity and texture, and a reduction in redness as well as superficial fine lines.

How often can I have BELOTERO Revive skin boosters and how long do results last?

BELOTERO Revive can be injected under a treatment regimen of 1-3 injection sessions within a 6-month period, with results lasting up to 9 months- individual results may vary.

Can I have any other treatments alongside BELOTERO Revive?

BELOTERO Revive can be used alongside other HA filler treatments, like the BELOTERO collection of fillers. If your healthcare practitioner is treating the same area, this will need to take place over separate sessions.

BELOTERO Revive cannot be used at the same time as peels, dermabrasion, and laser treatment or before complete healing of these treatments. Even if healing occurs earlier, BELOTERO Revive should not be used earlier than 2 weeks after the last treatment.

What aftercare is needed after a BELOTERO Revive treatment?

Makeup application should be avoided for at least 12 hours after your BELOTERO Revive treatment. Saunas, peeling, prolonged exposure to the sun, UV rays, extreme heat and cold should be avoided for 2 weeks after the treatment.

You should take care to avoid putting pressure and/or handling the treated area of the skin, as well as avoid strenuous physical activity following the treatment.

It’s also advised to avoid drinking alcohol for 24 hours before and after treatment – alcohol can cause the blood vessels to dilate and cause more bruising.

How do I know if BELOTERO Revive is a good option to achieve my goals?

BELOTERO Revive could be the optimal next step in your skincare journey if you’re looking to achieve a radiant glow. The key to a successful skin booster treatment lies in the hands of a qualified healthcare professional. A skilled practitioner will conduct a thorough assessment of your skin, discuss your goals, and tailor the treatment plan to your unique needs. By choosing a qualified healthcare practitioner, you not only enhance the likelihood of achieving optimal results but also prioritise your safety.
