SKIN BOOSTERS FAQ

Skin Boosters are injectable skin rejuvenation treatments designed to improve skin hydration, elasticity, texture, and overall skin quality.

Unlike dermal fillers, Skin Boosters are not intended to add significant volume or reshape facial features. Instead, they work to enhance the quality of the skin by delivering hydrating ingredients into the skin.

At I Care Beauty Clinic, every Skin Booster treatment begins with a comprehensive consultation and individualized skin assessment.

Depending on your skin condition, Skin Boosters may help improve the appearance of:

• Dry or dehydrated skin
• Fine lines
• Dull skin
• Uneven skin texture
• Skin elasticity
• Skin firmness
• Overall skin quality
• Early signs of aging

Treatment recommendations are personalized based on your skin concerns and goals.

Skin Boosters are administered through a series of small injections into the skin.

The treatment is designed to improve skin hydration and support overall skin quality, resulting in smoother, healthier-looking skin over time.

Results develop gradually and vary from person to person.

Common treatment areas include:

• Face
• Neck
• Décolletage (chest)
• Hands

Additional areas may be considered based on your practitioner’s assessment and treatment goals.

No.

Although both are injectable treatments, they have different purposes.

Skin Boosters

• Improve skin hydration
• Improve skin texture
• Improve overall skin quality
• Provide subtle rejuvenation

Dermal Fillers

• Restore facial volume
• Enhance facial contours
• Improve facial balance
• Define facial features

Your practitioner will recommend the most appropriate treatment for your goals.

Many patients begin noticing improvements within several weeks.

Results continue to develop as the skin responds to treatment and hydration improves.

The timeline varies depending on the product used and your individual response.

The number of treatments depends on:

• Your skin condition
• Degree of dehydration
• Treatment area
• Treatment goals
• Individual response

Many patients benefit from an initial series of treatments followed by maintenance sessions.

Your practitioner will develop a personalized treatment plan during your consultation.

Most patients tolerate Skin Booster treatments well.

To improve comfort, your practitioner may use:

• Topical numbing cream
• Gentle injection techniques
• Products containing local anesthetic, when appropriate

Patients generally describe the treatment as causing mild pinching or pressure.

Skin Boosters may be appropriate for adults who:

• Have dry or dehydrated skin
• Want to improve overall skin quality
• Notice early signs of skin aging
• Prefer natural-looking rejuvenation
• Have realistic expectations

A consultation is required to determine whether Skin Boosters are appropriate for your individual needs.

To help achieve the safest and most effective treatment, we recommend:

• Arrive with clean skin free of makeup if possible.
• Stay well hydrated before your appointment.
• Inform your practitioner about all medications, vitamins, supplements, allergies, and medical conditions.
• Inform us if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, planning pregnancy, or have had recent dental procedures, infections, or vaccinations.
• Inform your practitioner if you have received injectable treatments elsewhere.
• Follow any personalized preparation instructions provided during your consultation.

Your appointment generally includes:

• Comprehensive consultation
• Skin analysis
• Review of your medical history
• Discussion of your skin concerns and goals
• Clinical photographs (with your consent)
• Customized treatment planning
• Administration of the Skin Booster using appropriate injection techniques
• Review of personalized aftercare instructions

Every treatment is customized according to your skin condition and desired outcome.

Immediately following treatment, you may experience:

• Mild redness
• Small injection marks
• Swelling
• Tenderness
• Tiny raised bumps where the product was placed
• Mild bruising

These effects are temporary and generally improve over the following several days.

Most patients experience little to no downtime.

Many patients return to work and normal daily activities immediately after treatment.

Depending on the treatment technique used, temporary swelling or injection marks may remain visible for a short period.

Following treatment, we generally recommend:

• Avoid rubbing or massaging the treated area unless instructed by your practitioner.
• Avoid strenuous exercise for approximately 24 hours.
• Avoid saunas, steam rooms, hot tubs, and excessive heat for approximately 24–48 hours.
• Avoid excessive alcohol during the initial recovery period.
• Follow all personalized aftercare instructions provided by your practitioner.

Many patients may apply makeup later the same day if the injection sites have settled.

When applying makeup:

• Use clean brushes or applicators.
• Avoid excessive pressure over treated areas.
• Follow your practitioner’s recommendations.

Yes.

Depending on your individual assessment, your practitioner may recommend incorporating Skin Boosters into a personalized skin rejuvenation plan that may include one or more complementary treatments.

Examples may include:

• Botox

• Dermal Fillers

• PRP / PRF

• Microneedling

• RF Microneedling

• HIFU

• CO₂ Laser Resurfacing

• Erbium Laser

• Thulium Laser

• Chemical Peels

Some treatments may be performed during the same appointment, while others may be recommended as part of a staged treatment plan.

The treatment sequence, timing, and suitability are determined by your practitioner based on your skin condition, treatment goals, clinical assessment, and expected recovery.

Not every patient requires combination therapy. Your practitioner will recommend only those treatments that are appropriate for your individual needs.

Skin Boosters may not be appropriate for everyone.

Treatment may not be recommended for individuals with:

• Pregnancy
• Breastfeeding
• Active skin infections
• Active cold sores in the treatment area
• Certain autoimmune conditions
• Allergy to treatment ingredients
• Certain medical conditions identified during consultation

A consultation is required before treatment.

No.

Skin Boosters are designed to improve skin quality, hydration, and texture rather than significantly increase facial volume.

Skin Boosters cannot stop the natural aging process.

However, they may help improve skin hydration and overall skin quality as part of a comprehensive skin maintenance program.

Healthy lifestyle habits and sun protection also play an important role in long-term skin health.

The recommended treatment schedule varies depending on:

• Your age

Skin Boosters work differently from Dermal Fillers and Botox, and these treatments often complement one another.

• Skin Boosters focus on improving hydration, skin quality, and elasticity.
• Dermal Fillers restore volume and enhance facial contours.
• Botox relaxes selected muscles to soften dynamic wrinkles.

When clinically appropriate, your practitioner may recommend combining these treatments as part of a personalized facial rejuvenation plan.

The treatment sequence and timing are determined during your consultation.

Depending on your skin condition and treatment goals, Skin Boosters may be appropriate for adults of different ages.

Some younger patients choose Skin Boosters to improve hydration and maintain healthy-looking skin, while others seek treatment to address early signs of aging.

Your practitioner will determine whether Skin Boosters are appropriate for your individual needs.

Every patient’s skin is different.

During your consultation, your practitioner evaluates:

• Skin hydration
• Skin elasticity
• Skin texture
• Fine lines
• Skin quality
• Previous cosmetic treatments
• Medical history
• Lifestyle
• Treatment goals

This assessment allows us to develop a personalized treatment plan that is tailored to your skin rather than applying the same treatment protocol to every patient.
