Skin Booster
Support Hydration, Improve Skin Texture – From Within
At Dr Joyce Lim Skin & Laser Clinic, many patients often wonder how they can enhance their skin’s overall quality without resorting to heavy creams, aggressive treatments, or quick fixes. For those looking to hydrate and fortify their skin from the inside out, skin booster injections provide a gentle, gradual method for skin rejuvenation.
This treatment is particularly popular among individuals who are starting to notice early signs of ageing, skin fatigue, or dryness caused by environmental factors, lifestyle choices, or hormonal shifts. It’s a great option for both men and women who want to enhance their skin’s texture and tone without altering the shape of their facial features.
What It Does
Skin boosters consist of a series of micro-injections that deliver hyaluronic acid, a substance that naturally exists in our skin, directly into the dermis. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, skin boosters don’t add volume. Instead, they focus on attracting and holding moisture, which helps improve hydration, elasticity, and smoothness over time.
This treatment is typically applied to the:
- Face
- Neck
- Décolletage
- Hands
It can be used alone or as part of a broader skin care regimen, especially for those noticing dullness, fine lines, or changes in texture due to sun exposure or ageing.
What to Expect
Each session lasts about 20 to 30 minutes. After evaluating your skin, Dr Joyce Lim may apply a numbing cream if necessary, followed by a series of tiny injections using a very fine needle or cannula. Most patients describe the feeling as a light pressure or small pinpricks.
You might experience some mild redness, swelling, or tiny bumps at the injection sites right after the procedure. These usually subside within a few hours to a day. Most people can resume their daily activities shortly after the treatment.
When Will I See the Results?
Results don’t happen overnight. As the hyaluronic acid settles into your skin, you’ll start to notice improvements in hydration, texture, and glow over the next few weeks. Many people see visible changes after their first or second session.
It is typically recommended to undergo a series of treatments, usually consisting of 2 to 3 sessions spaced a few weeks apart, followed by maintenance sessions every 4 to 6 months. This schedule depends on your skin’s condition and your specific goals.
A Personalised Approach
Every skin is unique. That’s why Dr Joyce Lim will kick things off with a consultation to evaluate your skin type, concerns, and what you hope to achieve. Based on your individual needs, she might suggest skin boosters on their own or as part of a combination treatment plan, especially if you’re also addressing issues like pigmentation, texture, or early signs of ageing.
Aftercare Matters
After your treatment, you might be advised to steer clear of intense workouts, alcohol, or makeup for 24 hours. Dr Lim may also recommend gentle skincare products to help support your skin barrier during the recovery period. Sun protection is essential for maintaining the benefits of your treatment.
Let Your Skin Glow Again
If you’re eager to enhance how your skin feels and performs without changing its shape, skin boosters could be a subtle yet effective solution. To find out if this treatment is the right fit for your skin, schedule a consultation with Dr Joyce Lim.
