Skin boosters offer deep hydration, improved elasticity and are non-surgical. Skin boosters also provide a radiant complexion. They are not the same as dermal fillers, which add volume. Skin boosters work by stimulating collagen and restoring moisture.
The answer depends on the skin condition and the skin booster you are using, as well as your treatment protocol. In this blog, we will discuss the results of skin boosters week-by-week, backed up by dermatologist insights and clinical studies.
What Are Skin Boosters?
Common types include:
Profhilo:
Profhilo, an injectable moisturizer, provides intense hydration.
Restylane skinboosters:
Enhances the texture and elasticity over time.
Polynucleotides:
Stimulates tissue repair and collagen.
Jalupro Amino Acid based for lifting.
Micro-injections are used to deliver the treatment in the middle layer, or dermis. This guarantees long-lasting effects.
Profhilo Structura
It is indicated for facial treatment and for restoring adipose tissue.
The Skin Booster Timeline – When Can You Expect Results
1. Immediate effects (First 24 to 72 Hours)
Hydration Boost:
HA instantly bonds to water, leading to a subtle plumping.
Dewy Glow:
Many patients report an immediate glow after treatment.
Mild Redness/Swelling:
It is quite common, but it usually subsides within a day.
2. Short-Term Results (1-2 weeks)
Improved texture:
Skin feels smoother and less flaky.
Early Collagen Activities:
Micro-injuries induced by injections activate the fibroblast activity, which kick-starts collagen synthesis.
Softening fine lines:
Due to increased hydration, superficial wrinkles are less noticeable.
3. Peak Results (3-4 weeks)
Optimal Hydration:
The HA is fully-integrated, maximising moisture absorption.
Visible firmness:
Collagen remodeling and the remodeling of elastin leads to a tighter, more elastic skin.
Even skin tone:
Dullness and hyperpigmentation are greatly improved.
4. Benefits for long-term (6+ weeks maintenance included)
Sustained Collagen Growth:
Treatments like Profhilo and Polynucleotides will stimulate collagen over a period of several months.
Longer lasting Radiance:
Regular treatments (every six months to twelve months), compound the results and provide long-lasting improvements.
Factors influencing how quickly skin boosters act
1. Type of booster used
HA-based boosters (e.g. Restylane Skinboosters ):
(i) Hydration peaks within days. Collagen effects take weeks.
(ii) Bio-remodeling boosts (e.g. Profhilo ): Collagen stimulation starts later but results in a longer-term tightening.
2. Skin Condition
- Severely Dry Skin can show faster visible improvements.
- It may take longer to see a change in firmness if the skin is losing collagen.
3. Treatment Protocol
(i) Initial Series (2-4 sessions at intervals of 4 weeks ): Requirement for optimal collagen remodeling
(ii) Maintenance every six to twelve months ): prolonged results.
Comparing popular skin boosters – How long do their results last?
| Skin Booster | Time to see results | Duration of Effects | Best For |
| Profhilo | 1-2 weeks | 6-12 months | Deep hydration, sagging skin |
| Restylane Skinboosters | 2-4 weeks | 6-9 months | Dullness, fine lines |
| Polynucleotides | 3-6 weeks | 6-12 months | Sun damage, under-eye rejuvenation |
How To Maximize and Prolong Results
- 1.Keep hydrated. Water is essential to the moisture-binding effects of HA.
- Do not expose yourself to the sun. UV rays will cause collagen and HA breakdown.
- Combination with other treatments. Microneedling or PRP can increase collagen production.
- Follow a skin care routine Use HA serums and topicals to boost collagen.
Expert Insights & Future Trends
Dermatologists say:
(i) AI-driven personalization for tailored booster regiments.
(ii) Longer lasting formulations, e.g. HArmonyCa can last for up to 18 months.
(iii) Combination Therapies, e.g. Skin boosters and radiofrequency to achieve a more dramatic lifting ).
Conclusion – Patience is the key to lasting radiance
Skin boosters produce gradual, but transformative effects. While hydration is visible instantly, the best results-firmer skin, more elastic, and smoother skin-are seen over a period of several weeks, as collagen is built. It is important to follow a series treatments, and take proper care afterward, in order to achieve lasting results.
