HOW DO THEY WORK?
Skin boosters are injected into the skin, delivering HA, a soft, gel-like substance that attracts and retains water, within the skin. This enhances and delivers long-lasting hydration. Boosters also stimulate collagen and elastin production through fibroblast stimulation. 

Together, this reduces fine lines and wrinkles, improves skin texture, elasticity and firmness, giving a smoother, firmer look to skin with an overall brighter complexion.

ARE THEY SAFE?
Skin boosters have a good safety profile and have been used for more than 10 years. As with any medical treatment, there are potential side effects, but these are rare. Most side effects are related to the administration method, i.e. the injection, which can cause bleeding, pain, bruising or swelling. However, these are temporary and typically resolve within a few days. Skin boosters used by Miss Naji are vegan friendly.

WHAT HAPPENS ON THE DAY?
You will meet our plastic surgery consultant, Miss Shetha Naji, for a face-to-face consultation. You will have a full medical and aesthetic consultation detailing your desires and concerns, and following a thorough and systematic assessment, a treatment plan will be devised. This will include a detailed explanation of the procedure itself, associated risks and aftercare. There is no obligation to undertake any treatment.

If you wish to proceed, the treatment typically will last no longer than 30 minutes. Local anaesthetic (topical/injected) is used prior to the treatment to minimise discomfort.

Some swelling, redness and bumps may be visible following the treatment. Depending on the administration method, this may take typically 2-5 days to settle. Specific post-procedure advice depends on the area treated, but downtime is minimal.

We do advise against having any aesthetic treatments immediately prior to any formal or significant event. A follow up appointment in person is not typically required following the injection of skin boosters but if desired, a follow up consultation may be held.

WHEN WILL I SEE RESULTS?
Individual results vary, but typically we advise that you are unlikely to see results for 2-4 weeks following treatment.

HOW LONG WILL RESULTS LAST?
Depending on which product is used, an initial course of 2-3 treatments is recommended, 2-4 weeks apart, followed by maintenance of every 6-12 months.
