Understanding Restylane Skinboosters.
Restylane Skinboosters are injectable treatments that improve skin hydration, elasticity and fine texture. They're made from stabilized hyaluronic acid, a moisture-binding substance found naturally in your skin, and placed as tiny deposits within the skin itself. The result is skin that looks and feels more hydrated, supple and smooth, while your features stay just as they are.
The range includes formulations of different concentrations, and our experienced physicians choose the one that suits the area and your goal.
How do skin boosters work?
Hyaluronic acid binds water. In skin boosters it's stabilized (cross-linked), which slows how quickly your body breaks it down, so it stays in the skin longer than unmodified hyaluronic acid. Placed as small deposits across the treatment area, it raises the skin's water content and helps it look more hydrated, supple and smooth.
The change is in skin quality, so your facial shape stays the same. Your body gradually metabolizes the product, and repeat treatment keeps the effect going.
What skin boosters improve
Restylane Skinboosters improve hydration and skin quality on the face and, depending on the product, the neck, décolletage and hands. They suit skin that looks dry, dull or finely lined.
Related concerns: fine lines and wrinkles, forehead lines, neck lines and crepey, thinning skin.
For cheek volume, contour or tear troughs, our physicians use treatments designed for those goals, including hyaluronic acid fillers and PRF.

- Longer-lasting hydration. Stabilized hyaluronic acid stays in the skin longer than unmodified hyaluronic acid.
- Smoother, more supple skin with a finer texture.
- Natural-looking. Your contours stay as they are.
- Versatile. Suitable for the face, and depending on the product, the neck, décolletage and hands.

Safety, side effects and considerations
Common, temporary effects: redness, swelling, bruising, tenderness, firmness and small bumps at the injection points. These usually settle within days.
Less common risks: infection, persistent nodules and allergic-type reactions. Rarely, as with any hyaluronic acid injectable, product can enter or press on a blood vessel, which can cause serious complications such as tissue injury or vision changes. Contact the clinic straight away on 604-261-9121 if you notice skin turning pale or dusky, pain that keeps increasing, or any change in vision after treatment.
Reasons to postpone or reconsider: active skin infection, cold sore or inflammation in the area, pregnancy or breastfeeding, an autoimmune condition, a bleeding disorder or blood thinners, a known allergy to lidocaine or another component, and recent or upcoming dental work or vaccination. Our physicians review your medical history before treatment.
Aftercare. For a short time after treatment, avoid strenuous exercise, saunas and massaging the treated area, and leave makeup off until the injection points have settled.
This is not a complete list.

FAQ
Questions about Restylane Skinboosters.
Both use hyaluronic acid. Skin boosters are placed as small deposits within the skin to improve hydration, elasticity and texture, while fillers are placed to restore contour or projection. The two can be combined when you'd like both better skin quality and more structure.
Skin boosters are usually given as an initial series followed by periodic maintenance. The number and spacing of sessions depend on the product, the area and how your skin responds, so your plan is built around you.
The effect is temporary because your body gradually breaks down the hyaluronic acid. How long it lasts varies from person to person and by area, and repeat sessions keep it going.
Depending on the product, they can be used on the neck, décolletage and hands as well as the face. Our physicians will recommend the areas and formulation that suit your skin.
Temporary redness, swelling, bruising, tenderness or small bumps at the injection points are common and usually settle within days. Rarer, more serious risks exist with any hyaluronic acid injectable, and your physician goes through them with you before treatment.
