Seventy Hyal Skin Booster

What’s the main difference between skin boosters and dermal fillers?

Skin boosters and dermal fillers, whilst both containing hyaluronic acid (HA) as the main ingredient, are not interchangeable when it comes to offering skin ageing treatments; they behave in different ways. Skin boosters are not cross-linked so are usually much thinner in consistency and therefore, have a greater spread. Generally, skin boosters can be used to soften fine lines, hydrate, and improve the texture and condition of the skin. Dermal fillers on the other hand are generally used when volumisation, contouring, or augmentation is required in specific areas of the face such as cheeks or lips.

 

What is the course of treatments?

Initially, 2 to 3 treatments of Seventy Hyal 2000 4-weeks apart will be required to achieve the desired result. In some cases, and depending on initial skin quality a fourth treatment may be needed. Treatments will need to be topped up every 6-12 months, depending on skin quality.

 

How long do results take to appear?

Results should begin to show instantly with optimal results showing after 2 weeks.

 

How long should results last?
