As people age, their skin’s natural hydration and glow diminish, leading to the appearance of fine lines, dullness, and an uneven texture. Galderma‘s Restylane Skinboosters offer a revolutionary solution to combat these concerns and restore youthful radiance.
In this article, we will explore Restylane Skinboosters’ mechanism of action, various indications, and the benefits they bring to the skin, so our readers will be well-equipped to offer their patients the transformative benefits of these products.
What is So Special About Restylane Skinboosters?
Like the rest of the Restylane fillers, the Skinboosters series is based on a stabilized hyaluronic acid of non-animal origin obtained using NASHA patented technology. But unlike traditional dermal fillers that add volume to specific areas, these products work by improving overall skin quality and texture through deep hydration.
Restylane Skinboosters are used for prophylactic purposes at the first signs of skin withering, before the beach season, and to maintain the results of plastic surgery and contour correction. Due to the ability to narrow the pores, the gel is indicated for individuals with problematic, oily skin.
Restylane Skinboosters are available in two formulations (each of them also have a version with lidocaine):
- Restylane Vital is used for improving skin quality on the face, neck, and décolletage;
- Restylane Vital Light is designed for more delicate areas like the lips and under-eye region.
Restylane Skinboosters are suitable for solving many aesthetic problems:
- Skinboosters replenish moisture and restore radiance to dull skin, leaving it looking revitalized and refreshed.
- These injections reduce fine lines and superficial wrinkles by boosting skin hydration and creating a smoother and more youthful complexion.
- Treatment with Skinboosters can address rough and uneven skin texture, providing a more even and “polished” skin surface.
- This product can diminish the effects of sun damage by improving skin tone and texture for a more radiant complexion.
- Skinboosters may improve the appearance of mild acne scars, providing a subtle lifting effect to the affected areas.
Restylane Skinboosters treatment involves a series of microinjections into the deep dermis or subcutaneous tissue, depending on the patient’s skin condition and the areas being treated. The injections are strategically spaced to ensure even coverage and optimal results.
Benefits of Restylane Skinboosters
Restylane Skinboosters offer many advantages that make them a popular choice among aesthetic doctors and patients seeking skin rejuvenation:
- This treatment provides deep hydration that enhances skin plumpness and suppleness by replenishing the skin’s natural moisture levels.
- Skinboosters from Restylane promote smoother skin texture, making them an effective option for patients with rough or uneven skin.
- These products require no incisions, making them a good alternative to surgery or other invasive skin rejuvenation procedures.
- The gradual improvement in skin quality ensures long-lasting and natural-looking results.
- Restylane Skinboosters are versatile – they can be used on different body areas, providing patients with tailored treatment options for their specific needs.
Safety and Potential Side Effects of Restylane Skinboosters
Restylane Skinboosters have a strong safety profile with a low risk of adverse reactions. But as with any aesthetic procedure, there are some potential risks to consider.
The most common side effects of Restylane Skinboosters are mild and temporary and include the following reactions at the injection sites:
- Redness;
- Swelling;
- Bruising.
Even though Restylane Skinboosters are made from non-animal stabilized hyaluronic acid, which reduces the risk of allergic reactions, patients with known allergies to HA or lidocaine should not undergo the treatment.
Doctors should carefully evaluate patients to ensure they are suitable for Restylane’s skin boosting injections. Contraindications for this treatment are:
- Severe allergies, hypersensitivity to hyaluronan or lidocaine;
- Autoimmune diseases, epilepsy;
- Oncology;
- Diabetes;
- Problems with blood clotting, taking anticoagulants;
- Exacerbation of chronic diseases, fever, SARS;
- Inflammation and injury of the skin in the injection zones;
- Tendency to form keloids and scars;
- Chemical peeling, laser procedures, and plastic surgery performed later than 3 weeks before the session;
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding;
- Minor age.
Following Restylane Skinboosters treatment, patients should adhere to aftercare instructions to optimize the procedure results and minimize the risk of complications.
Patients should avoid touching or massaging the treated areas immediately after the procedure. Applying cold or ice packs to the treated areas can help reduce swelling and discomfort. It is also vital to avoid sun exposure, strenuous exercise, and excessive heat for the first 24 hours after treatment.
Conclusion
Restylane Skinboosters’ product line is a powerful and versatile skin hydration and radiance enhancement solution. With their profound hydration benefits, Skinboosters can revitalize dull and dehydrated skin, promoting a smoother, more youthful complexion.

By incorporating Skinboosters into your practice, you can achieve radiant, glowing skin for your patients and boost their confidence in their appearance.

Injectable aesthetics are popular due to their ability to provide noticeable results with minimal downtime compared to surgical procedures. They are versatile and can be tailored to meet individual aesthetic goals, whether it's enhancing lips, restoring facial volume, or smoothing out wrinkles. However, they should always be administered by qualified professionals to ensure safety and achieve optimal results.
Injectable aesthetics are used to enhance facial features, reduce the signs of aging, and improve overall facial symmetry and appearance.
Key types of injectable aesthetics include:
-
Dermal Fillers: These injectables are used to add volume, fill in wrinkles and folds, and enhance facial contours. They often contain substances like hyaluronic acid, collagen, or calcium hydroxylapatite, which help plump up the skin and smooth out fine lines and wrinkles.
-
Botulinum Toxin (Botox): Botulinum toxin injections temporarily relax facial muscles that cause wrinkles and lines to form. It is commonly used to treat forehead lines, frown lines between the eyebrows, and crow's feet around the eyes.
-
Collagen Stimulators: These injectables stimulate the body's own collagen production, helping to improve skin texture and firmness over time. Examples include poly-L-lactic acid (Sculptra) and calcium hydroxylapatite (Radiesse).
-
Neurotoxin Injections: Besides Botox, other neurotoxins such as Dysport and Xeomin are used similarly to reduce wrinkles and lines.
