Skinbooster in Funchal
Skinbooster is a term used for injectable treatments aimed at skin quality, particularly hydration and texture. Different products and protocols exist; their composition and indications should be explained before any treatment.
At Fisioclinic in Funchal, an Aesthetic Medicine assessment helps determine whether this approach addresses your skin's needs. The plan is individual and distinguishes skin quality treatments from procedures intended to change facial volume or contour.
What the treatment aims to improve
Depending on the product and indication, aims may include:
- Improving skin hydration.
- Smoothing the feel of roughness and the appearance of skin texture.
- Softening fine lines associated with skin quality.
Some protocols use hyaluronic acid, but the term Skinbooster does not identify a single composition. The doctor will explain the chosen product, how it is administered and the results it is reasonable to expect. Evidence for one product cannot be generalised to all treatments described by this term.
Before and after treatment
Tell the team about allergies, medical conditions, medication, pregnancy or breastfeeding, and recent procedures. Contraindications depend on the formulation; an infection or inflammation in the treatment area should be assessed before proceeding.
After the injections, small raised areas, tenderness, bruising, redness or swelling may occur. There are also risks of infection and reactions to the product. Follow the advice on make-up, exercise, sun exposure and your usual skincare. Severe pain, changes in skin colour or vision require urgent medical assessment.
Frequently asked questions
Does Skinbooster increase facial volume?
The main aim is to care for skin quality. This differs from a filler plan for volume or contour. The choice of product and technique determine the effect and should therefore be explained during the consultation.
Does it always use hyaluronic acid?
The term is used for different treatments. There are options containing hyaluronic acid, but you should confirm the composition, indication and safety information for the product to be used with your doctor.
Is it the same as mesotherapy?
Both may involve small injections, but the names do not mean they use the same products or have the same effect. Mesotherapy describes a technique; a Skinbooster plan depends on the product and the agreed goal.
How many sessions will I need?
There is no set number for everyone. The plan, intervals and any maintenance depend on the formulation used, the condition of your skin and the response observed.
Does it replace daily skincare?
No. Sun protection and a suitable skincare routine remain part of your plan. The assessment helps organise that care and determine whether adding a procedure could be beneficial.
