Skinbooster, flaunt radiant skin

These are not complications, they are the normal skin response to microinjections. They appear at the end of the session, are temporary, and require no more treatment than a little patience and the care we recommend:

• Redness (erythema) at the injection sites for a few hours.
• Mild swelling and a feeling of tightness in the treated area for the first 24–48 hours.
• Small pinpoint bruises that may take 3 to 7 days to reabsorb, especially in thin skin or if you are taking medication that affects coagulation (aspirin, ibuprofen, ginkgo, high-dose omega-3).
• Sensitivity or slight local pain when pressing the skin during the first few days.
• Small "orange peel" type welts right after the microinjections, which disappear in a few hours as the hyaluronic acid distributes in the dermis.

All these effects are a direct consequence of the needle's action on the skin, not the product. The vast majority of patients can return to their normal life the same day, resuming makeup from 12–24 hours as indicated.

There is a second group of reactions that, while not serious, are worth knowing about because they can appear even if the technique was correct:

• More extensive bruising, especially in patients with very thin skin, a history of capillary fragility, or anticoagulant treatment.
• Small palpable nodules at the injection sites during the first few days, which resolve with gentle massage or spontaneously when the product finishes diffusing.
• Mild itching in the area, generally associated with the microscopic healing process of the puncture sites.
• Temporary asymmetry perceived in the first 48–72 hours, before the product is evenly distributed.
• Reactivation of a pre-existing cold sore if the microinjections are performed near the lip in patients with a history (in these cases, prior antiviral prophylaxis is advised).
• Increased skin sensitivity during the first week, which is why we recommend fragrance-free and acid-free products during this period.

All these reactions are self-limiting and resolve without sequelae. Your doctor will give you guidelines to minimize them: apply local cold, avoid intense sports, sauna, and sun exposure for 48 hours, and do not manipulate the area.

These are serious complications, described in surgical literature with low incidence but that every well-informed patient should know before signing consent:

• Hypersensitivity reaction to the product or some component. It usually manifests as persistent swelling, rash, or intense itching. It is exceptional with the certified hyaluronic acids we use.
• Local infection at the injection sites. It is prevented with rigorous asepsis and treated with antibiotics if it occurs.
• Persistent nodules or late granulomas (weeks or months later). They are very infrequent and are managed with intralesional corticosteroid or hyaluronidase.
• Tyndall effect (bluish discoloration due to too superficial injection). More associated with volumetric fillers than skin boosters; reversible with hyaluronidase.
• Late inflammatory reactivations after intercurrent infectious processes (flu, COVID, vaccines), described in the literature as the body's immune response to the residual product. They subside with medical treatment.

You will notice more hydrated, luminous, and firm skin from the first week. The results are progressive: the improvement in texture, elasticity, and skin density is fully appreciated between 4 and 8 weeks after completing the initial protocol.

It is a very well-tolerated treatment. We apply topical anesthetic cream before the session to ensure a comfortable experience. During the microinjections, you may feel small pricks and a slight sensation of pressure, nothing more.

Yes. The hyaluronic acid used is biocompatible and resorbable, identical to what your skin naturally produces. It is exclusively applied by specialist doctors, with certified products and complete traceability.

The most common are mild and transient: redness, small papules (which disappear in 12–24 h), micro-hematomas or slight sensitivity in the area for 24–48 h. Serious complications are exceptional when the treatment is performed by a qualified doctor.

It is not recommended during pregnancy, breastfeeding, allergy to hyaluronic acid, active skin infection in the area to be treated, autoimmune diseases in the active phase, severe coagulation disorders, or minors. In cases of anticoagulant treatments, poorly controlled diabetes, or recurrent herpes, it is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. The prior medical consultation rules out all these situations.

The usual protocol is an initial set of 2–3 sessions spaced 2–4 weeks apart, followed by maintenance sessions every 6–12 months. Your doctor will adjust the number according to the NESAI® diagnosis and your goal.

Immediately. The Skin Booster does not require medical leave. We only recommend avoiding makeup for the first 6 hours, intense exercise for 48 hours, and direct sun exposure until the papules have disappeared.

The effects of the initial protocol last between 6 and 12 months, depending on the product used, age, lifestyle habits (sun, tobacco, hydration), and cosmetic routine. Regular maintenance prolongs and enhances the results.

From the age of 25–30 as a preventive and skin quality treatment. In patients aged 40+, it is one of the key treatments to maintain dense, firm, and luminous skin, especially when combined with other techniques.

You will see an immediate improvement in hydration and luminosity in the first week. The final result (density, firmness, skin quality) is fully appreciated between 4 and 8 weeks after the last session of the initial protocol.
