Skin Boosters

Choosing the best hyaluronic acid injectable skin hydrator for you depends on your specific skin care goals and needs. Here’s a quick comparison to help you decide:

• SkinVive is ideal for those primarily seeking intense hydration and a radiant complexion + glowing skin. It’s a fantastic option if you want to enhance your skin’s quality without altering its shape.
• Redensity 1 by Teoxane is the longest on the market. It focuses on rejuvenation and reducing signs of ageing, with added nutrients for skin vitality.

Although Redensity 1, SkinVive and Profhilo are all skin boosters, they have some differences. Redensity 1 contains a unique combination of ingredients, including hyaluronic acid, amino acids, and antioxidants, providing comprehensive skin rejuvenation and hydration.

SkinVive is a newer type of skin booster in the well-known Juvéderm injectables family. Rather than broad diffusion, it uses microdroplet injections of slightly stabilised Hyaluronic Acid (HA) just below the skin’s surface. Results vary by individual, but many patients report sustained glow and hydration for several months with SkinVive. If your concerns are dryness, rough patches, dark circles, or first creases around the eyes or cheeks, SkinVive is especially strong in those areas.

Profhilo is sometimes called a “skin remodelling” injectable. Rather than filling or volumising like a traditional filler, it uses a specially formulated hyaluronic acid (HA) that spreads beneath the skin to help:

• Hydrate deep layers

• Stimulate collagen and elastin production

• Improve skin elasticity and firmness over time

It’s administered using a few “strategic points” (often 5 per side of the face) so the product can diffuse and produce a natural, gently tightening effect.

Many patients see gradual improvement over weeks, especially in areas of sagging or early laxity.

SkinVive is an injectable skin booster formulated with a modified, smooth, and cohesive hyaluronic acid (HA) gel (12 mg/mL) that provides intense, long-lasting hydration and improves skin smoothness. It also contains 0.3% w/w lidocaine for improved comfort during treatment.

KEY COMPONENTS OF SKINVIVE:

• Hyaluronic Acid (HA): A natural substance that binds moisture to the skin. SkinVive uses a specific, smooth HA gel formula (created with VYCROSS® technology) to enhance hydration and texture, not to add volume like traditional dermal fillers.
• 1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether (BDDE): This crosslinking agent is used to stabilise the hyaluronic acid, allowing for longer-lasting results (up to 9 months).
• Lidocaine (0.3%): A local anaesthetic mixed into the gel to reduce pain at the injection site.
• Physiologic Buffer: Ensures the product is compatible with the skin’s natural pH.

Redensity 1 is an innovative hyaluronic acid-based injectable skin booster, designed to prevent premature ageing, restore skin density, and maintain a healthy glow. It’s an award-winning product composed of ingredients typically found in the skin, and it acts as an overall enhancer and revitaliser.

The Teoxane range of dermal fillers is uniquely manufactured to recoil and spring back to their original shape when subject to facial dynamics or compressions. This sounds scientific, but simply put, it provides a natural-looking result, as the product is able to move and stretch as your face shifts and expresses.

KEY COMPONENTS OF REDENSITY 1:

• Hyaluronic acid: Provides deep hydration to the skin.
• Amino acids: Promote cell regeneration for a revitalised complexion.
• Antioxidants: Help prevent damage from free radicals, protecting the skin from environmental stressors.
• Minerals (zinc and copper): Contribute to overall skin health and protection.
• Vitamin B6: Supports cell metabolism for optimal skin function.
• Lidocaine: For a more comfortable treatment experience.

Our skin booster treatments takes around 30 minutes, with minimal discomfort. You might notice some slight swelling or redness immediately after, but this typically settles within 24-48 hours. The real magic happens over the following weeks as the hyaluronic acid integrates and your skin’s hydration levels improve. Most of our clients notice the full glow effect within 2-4 weeks. Topical anaesthetic applied 30 minutes beforehand.
