Hyaluronic Acid Skin Boosters
Over time, the condition of the skin on your face changes – collagen and elastic fibres disintegrate, and the function of the body’s own hyaluronic acid (HA) change, making your skin drier, rougher and less elastic.
Hyaluronic Acid Skin Boosters are designed to deliver skin glow and deep skin hydration, nourishing the skin and resulting in a more fresh and natural appearance. This leaves your face revitalised, giving the skin a fresh appearance.
What is the overall outcome of Hyaluronic Acid Skin Boosters?
Deep hydration
Fine lines reduction
Acne scars improvement
Refining of large pores
Glowing, radiant skin
Wrinkles reduction
Skin lifting and firming

What is Hyaluronic Acid?
Don’t let the term ‘acid’ worry or concern you – hyaluronic acid is essentially a water-holding molecule that’s a little bit like a gel. It binds moisture, keeping the skin hydrated and is naturally produced by our skin. Hyaluronic acid increases collagen production, as well as the elastin in the deeper layers of the skin.
How does the hyaluronic acid injection work?
The hyaluronic acid injection involves a series of hydrating microinjections of long-lasting hyaluronic acid – also called stabilised HA – a water-loving substance found naturally in the body that well maintains hydration in the skin. Stabilised HA is a soft, gel-like substance that absorbs water and brings deep skin hydration to the treated areas, giving it improved firmness, elasticity and smoothness.
If you’re looking for a skin booster, Singapore is home to Dr D Aesthetics – an aesthetic medical clinic with a team of friendly doctors, fully trained to carry out the hyaluronic acid injection and other professional services.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What areas can Hyaluronic Acid Skin Boosters be injected into?
Skin boosters can be used to improve the general skin quality of your face but also to improve exposed and sensitive areas such as your neck, décolletage and hands, as well as areas with acne-scarred skin.
This injection is most commonly used on the lower face and is a great way to treat smokers’ lines. Skin boosters can significantly improve the texture of the skin on the chin and lower cheeks, in addition to the area around the mouth.

2. How are Hyaluronic Acid Skin Boosters injected and what is the process like?
Firstly, a numbing cream will be applied to the face after makeup removal and a thorough cleansing, for around 20 to 30 minutes. Your doctor will then perform this procedure manually or using a device called a ‘vital injector’, using five fine needles to inject the substance. The benefit of using a vital injector is such that a consistent depth of injection will be maintained, reducing post-injection redness and bruising. The full face will be injected throughout the session, including the skin under the eyes, targeting any fine lines.

3. How many times do I have to have the injection?
A typical treatment program with skin boosters is made up of three initial treatment sessions, leaving three to four weeks between each. Usually, results will be visible two weeks after each procedure. The initial, three-treatment program is done once and subsequently, one treatment every six to 12 months is recommended.

4. How long can skin boosters last?
It’s worth noting that the treatment outcome depends on each individual’s lifestyle; for example, smoking, lack of sleep and inadequate facial skin care can all affect the longevity of skin boosters. Usually, the effect of hydration and radiance lasts for six to eight months – however, collagen will still build up a few months later, allowing the texture of the skin to continue seeing improvements.
