Have you noticed that the skin on your face and perhaps your neck, décolleté and hands, is not as youthful as it used to be? Does your skin feel dry, dull and rough, with fine lines and wrinkles? Don’t worry. There is a product that can plump, rehydrate and brighten your skin: Restylane ® Skinboosters™. Here’s how it works.
Deeply hydrated skin
Gradually, and due to internal and external factors, your skin can become less fresh and less youthful. Stress, lack of sleep, soaps, detergents and excessive exposure to the sun, as well as natural aging take their toll on the epidermis. Its elasticity has diminished and seems impossible to restore. 36
While face creams and masks can work on the surface, the skin can be restored from the inside by improving its elasticity, roughness or hydration: this is the role of Skinboosters.
The treatment protocol
It takes a little patience to get your skin back to its former glory. A Restylane ® Skinboosters™ treatment protocol begins with three initial treatment sessions, spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart.
During each session, micro-droplets of hyaluronic acid gel are injected into the injected area. After these first injections, it is sufficient to carry out a maintenance treatment every 4 to 6 months.
Restylane ® Skinboosters™, lasting results on multiple criteria for satisfied patients
Restylane ® Skinboosters™ improve the quality of the skin on the face, hands, neck and décolleté, strengthen its elasticity and hydration, reduce its roughness and reduce wrinkles and fine lines.
In addition, Restylane ® Skinboosters™ have long-lasting results. A clinical study shows that results remain visible for up to 15 months after the first injection. 3

CONTRAINDICATIONS: • Do not use in patients with a history of hypersensitivity to streptococcal proteins, as the product may contain traces of them. • Do not use in patients with severe allergies with a history of anaphylaxis, or in the event of a history or existence of several severe allergies. • Do not use in patients with hypersensitivity to lidocaine or amide-type local anesthetics.
ADVERSE REACTIONS: Possible reactions following injection: Injection reactions such as hematoma, erythema, itching, swelling, pain or tenderness at the implant site may occur. 1/1,000 – 1/10,000 Swelling/edema occurring immediately or up to several weeks after treatment, mass/induration. Vascular injury resulting from accidental intravascular injection or vascular compression due to implantation of any injectable product may manifest as blanching, discoloration, necrosis or ulceration at the implant site or in the area supplied by the affected blood vessels or, rarely, as ischemic events in other organs following embolism. Rare but serious cases of ischaemic events leading to temporary or permanent visual disturbances, blindness, cerebral ischaemia or infarction after facial aesthetic treatments have been reported. Inflammatory symptoms at the implant site appearing shortly after injection or after several weeks have been reported. In case of unexplained inflammatory reactions, infection should be investigated and treated if necessary, as an inadequately treated infection may lead to complications such as abscesses. It is not advisable to administer oral corticosteroids without antibiotic cover. The prolonged use of any medication such as corticosteroids or antibiotics to treat adverse effects should be carefully evaluated, as such prolonged use may pose a risk to the patient. In case of persistent or recurrent inflammatory symptoms, consider extraction of the product by aspiration/drainage, extrusion or enzymatic degradation (the use of hyaluronidase has been described in scientific publications). Before performing an extraction procedure, swelling can be reduced by, for example, a 2-7 day course of NSAIDs or a course of corticosteroids for less than 7 days, in order to feel the remaining product more easily on palpation. Before deciding to re-treat patients in whom reactions have been clinically significant, the cause and severity of the reactions should be considered.
