Skin Booster Singapore: What It Is, How It Works, Types & Process

Skin boosters are gaining popularity in Singapore for their skin-rejuvenating benefits. They may potentially enhance hydration, diminish fine lines and wrinkles, and promote a natural, youthful glow. These treatments are often applied to areas prone to ageing, such as the face, neck, and hands.

At AURA Clinic, we offer a range of skin booster treatments tailored to meet your unique skin needs.

What are Skin Boosters?

Skin boosters are injectable treatments designed to rejuvenate your skin, delivering a fresh, youthful glow. Traditionally, skin boosters were defined as mainly made of hyaluronic acid (HA), which hydrates the skin and stimulates collagen production. However, advancements in aesthetics medicine have led to the development of new treatments tailored to diverse skin needs.

The term ‘Skin boosters’ is sometimes used to refer to injectable treatments that offer benefits beyond hydration. These treatments may include ingredients other than hyaluronic acid (HA).

Understanding Skin Boosters Component

Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is commonly used in skin boosters due to its ability to enhance skin hydration and elasticity. It is a naturally occurring substance in the skin that helps retain moisture, stimulate collagen production, and improve skin elasticity. Typically, HA-based skin boosters are administered through a series of micro-injections into the superficial layers of the skin, primarily the dermis, to improve skin texture and hydration.

PDLLA Collagen-Stimulating Skin Booster is an example of a skin booster that combines Hyaluronic Acid with Poly-D,L-Lactic Acid (PDLLA). PDLLA is a biocompatible material known to stimulate collagen production. The combination of HA and PDLLA provides dual benefits: hydration from HA and collagen stimulation over time from PDLLA, helping to improve skin firmness and texture.

The Stabilised Hybrid HA Skin Booster is an injectable treatment that combines low-molecular-weight HA (L-HA) and high-molecular-weight HA (H-HA). L-HA supports collagen and elastin production, while H-HA helps retain moisture, working together to rejuvenate the skin through bio-remodelling. Its formulation, free of chemical additives, reduces the risk of side effects compared to other skin boosters.

Polynucleotides are molecules derived from purified fish DNA. They are specifically known for targeting fibroblasts to promote collagen synthesis and support skin regeneration. They are biocompatible with human skin and help improve skin repair and elasticity by supporting the skin’s natural healing processes.

Examples of Polynucleotide-Based Skin Boosters:

Polynucleotide (PN) Skin Booster: This skin booster contains polynucleotides that support skin repair, improve elasticity, and promote collagen production for overall skin rejuvenation.

Polynucleotide (PN) and Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Skin Booster: This skin booster combines polynucleotides with Hyaluronic Acid, offering both hydration and skin repair benefits. This makes it effective for improving skin hydration while promoting regeneration.

Note that this minimally invasive treatment for skin rejuvenation is performed only by qualified doctors to ensure safety and efficacy.

How Does a Skin Booster Work?

Skin boosters involve injecting small amounts of hyaluronic acid (HA) into the dermis, just below the skin’s surface. This treatment delivers intensive hydration to the treated areas, increasing moisture levels and stimulating collagen production. The hyaluronic acid attracts water and can act as a reservoir for continuous skin hydration.

As we age, our natural HA levels decrease. By replenishing HA with skin boosters, these lightweight molecules draw moisture from the body to hydrate and plump the skin.

Over time, skin boosters are gradually broken down by the body. To maintain hydration and results, initial monthly treatments are recommended for the first three months, followed by maintenance treatments every six months.

Enhances skin hydration and radiance for a dewy glow

Rejuvenates the skin and boosts collagen production

Smooths fine lines and wrinkles, and softens deep furrows and frown lines

Brightens dark circles and improves the appearance of acne scars

Minimises pore size and improves overall skin texture

Increases skin firmness and elasticity

Skin booster is injected into the skin through the following methods:

Manual Injection
High-viscosity HA tends to cause more discomfort due to its thicker consistency, which is crucial in skincare quality control as it affects the flow and application of the product. Higher viscosity indicates a thicker substance.

Injector Gun
Suitable for low-viscosity HA, which may cause less discomfort. This method uses an electronic injector gun with fine needles, allowing for controlled dosing and targeted placement of the skin booster.

Who is suitable for Skinbooster?

In Singapore, skin boosters are popular among women over 25. They are ideal for:

Skin booster treatment is ideal for those seeking for a boost in skin hydration and quality

Those in their 20s who want to preserve skin elasticity and address early signs of skin laxity, making it suitable for proactive anti-ageing care and prejuvenation.

Individuals aged 40 and above showing signs of ageing and wish to hydrate, firm, and enhance their overall skin quality.

TYPES OF SKIN BOOSTERS AVAILABLE AT AURA CLINIC

At AURA Clinic, we offer a variety of skin boosters and skin boosters alternatives to address different skin concerns.

Stabilised Hybrid Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Skin Booster

Stabilised Hybrid HA Skin Booster combines the advantages of low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid (L-HA), which stimulates collagen and elastin production, with high-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid (H-HA), known for its moisture-retaining properties, to achieve optimal skin bio-remodelling.

A unique feature distinguishing Stabilised Hybrid HA Skin Booster from traditional skin boosters is its thermal complexing technology, which enables L-HA and H-HA to form a stable complex without additional chemical stabilisers, resulting in a higher concentration of hyaluronic acid. Each 2ml syringe contains an impressive 32mg/ml, making it the highest HA content available on the market today.

Due to its high HA concentration, Stabilised Hybrid HA Skin Booster is also administered differently than traditional skin boosters, requiring fewer injections for optimal results.

Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Skin Booster with Glycerol

HA Skin Booster with Glycerol is an injectable skin treatment designed to target early signs of photodamage and skin ageing. Its unique formula combines hyaluronic acid (HA) with glycerol, offering dual benefits—hydration and skin rejuvenation. Unlike topical solutions, this injectable treatment penetrates deeper layers of the skin, providing long-lasting hydration and improved elasticity.

The hyaluronic acid in HA Skin Booster with Glycerol delivers immediate moisture to the skin, boosting hydration and enhancing radiance. Combined with glycerol, a powerful hydrating agent, it draws moisture from the deeper layers of the skin to the surface, promoting smoother texture and reducing fine lines. This combination improves skin firmness, softness, and overall texture, making it an ideal treatment for those experiencing early signs of ageing and sun damage.

With HA Skin Booster with Glycerol, you will notice enhanced hydration, elasticity, and a smoother, more radiant complexion. Plus, the treatment requires minimal downtime and offers long-lasting results.

Poly D, L-lactic Acid (PDLLA) Collagen-Stimulating Skin Booster

PDLLA Collagen-Stimulating Skin Booster’s formula is a hybrid of Poly D,L-lactide (PDLLA) and Hyaluronic Acid (HA), with a specific concentration of 42.5 mg of PDLLA and 7.5 mg of non-cross-linked HA.

Distinct from traditional skin boosters that primarily focus on hydration, PDLLA Collagen-Stimulating Skin Booster’s unique blend offers a dual-action treatment to provide immediate hydration from the HA while promoting long-term collagen stimulation through the PDLLA, with minimal downtime and discomfort.

With particle sizes ranging from 10 to 40 micrometres, this formulation enhances natural volume and improves skin elasticity.

Polynucleotide (PN) Skin Booster

PN Skin Booster, often called the “miracle healer injection”, is a skin booster made popular in China and South Korea.

PN Skin Booster is primarily composed of polynucleotides (PN) or polydeoxyribonucleotides (PDRN), which are derived from salmon DNA. These remarkable molecules are renowned for their anti-ageing, skin rejuvenation, and healing properties. They work by regenerating skin cells from deep within, promoting a revitalised complexion.

PN Skin Booster offers a medium viscosity, making it suitable for application across the face and neck. When used in treatments, it can significantly improve the elasticity and tone of the skin, resulting in a more youthful and radiant appearance.

Polynucleotide (PN) and Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Skin Booster

PN and HA Skin Booster is mainly used to strengthen the skin’s regenerative ability while providing an intense hydration effect on dehydrated areas.HB stands for “hydration booster,” highlighting the product’s key active ingredient, Hyaluronic Acid (HA), along with Polynucleotide (PN).

PN promotes fibroblast growth and stimulates collagen production, while HA focuses on hydration and tissue lubrication. HA is excellent at water retention, acting as both a cushion and a lubricant, and is capable to absorb its weight in water multiple times. HA has also been found to act as an osmotic pump, delivering water-soluble active ingredients deep into the skin.

For those with a low pain tolerance, PN and HA Skin Booster is an viable choice. Formulated with lidocaine and hyaluronic acid, it reduces pain by over 50%, making the experience much more comfortable.

Skin Booster Treatment Process at AURA Clinic

The skin booster procedure typically lasts 30-60 minutes, depending on the treated areas. Patients can promptly resume their normal activities soon after the treatment.

Consultation

The initial step involves consultation and assessment with our doctor to discuss your skin condition and treatment goals. This assessment determines which skin boosters are best suited for your needs.

During the Procedure

Preparation: Before the treatment, the skin is thoroughly cleansed and prepared. Anaesthetic cream is applied to the face for 15-30 minutes to numb the treatment area and ensure comfort during the procedure.

Injection: Our doctor administers the skin booster either manually or with an injector gun device. The entire face, including the delicate skin under the eyes, is treated during the session.

The injections are usually given at varying depths to target different skin layers and achieve the intended outcomes. Several injections may be required depending on the treatment plan and your goals.

Post-Treatment Care

Minimal downtime is expected after receiving the treatment. Redness or swelling may occur in the treated areas, subsiding within a few days. Bruising, though rare, might persist for 5-7 days before fading.

Aftercare instructions are also given, which could include limiting sun exposure and avoiding specific skincare products.

Follow-up Sessions

Skin booster treatments are usually carried out across multiple sessions, scheduled a few weeks apart, to facilitate skin recovery and attain the best possible outcomes.
