Hello, skincare family! Skincare is not just having plenty of serums which are to be applied over and over again. Injectables are a novel source of skin replenishing systems that go deeper into the skin cells making it look radiant. These advanced treatments involve collagen stimulators and skin boosters.
At DermaOne we are providing collagen stimulators and skin boosters that work deeper into the skin for long-term glow and enhance the overall skin texture. Our premium collagen stimulators like Sculptra or Radiesse make your skin ultimately younger looking and skin boosters like Profhilo, NCTF and Volite make your skin hydrate well and radiate from within.
But, are these both the same?
Obviously not! Both skin boosters and collagen stimulators are not even close to each other.
Let us have a look at the perks of both.
Collagen Stimulators: What are they?
Collagen stimulators, the boss babes for a long-term skin glow and hydration, work deeper into the skin cells to enhance the collagen production. Collagen stimulators basically work by boosting collagen production in your skin. When they are injected into your skin cells, it stimulates your skin to produce skin’s own collagen.
What happens next is that you get a healthy, plumped, youthful skin that you will love.
However, collagen stimulators are not a one day show. Your glow booms within a few weeks not overnight.
How do they work?
Collagen is a natural protein present in your skin that helps maintain elasticity and firmness of your skin. Appropriate collagen production makes your skin look younger, hydrated and plumped. With the passage of time this valuable protein production slows down that makes your skin saggy which leads to wrinkles and fine lines. It’s when collagen stimulators come for help.
Collagen stimulators signal your skin to produce collagen peptides that promote skin health and reduce the appearance of fine lines. At DermaOne we are currently using the following collagen stimulators to enhance your skin health:
- Sculptra (poly-L-lactic acid)
- Radiesse (calcium hydroxylapatite)
Sculptra
It is made of Poly-L-Lactic acid that is injected deep into skin tissues that produce collagen over time. The glow can last for more than two years.
Aestheticians and skin experts at DermaOne use it when the skin feels saggy or has lost volume. Also, it is best for people who want long-lasting results.
Radiesse
Radiesse, made of calcium hydroxylapatite, an essential component of bones that is generally safer for most of the population. Aestheticians mostly use it for skin lifting and volume, especially for deeper wrinkles. It is also ideal for defining the jawline.
Results may take weeks or even months!
Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers and other skin boosters, Sculptra does not show instant results but can take up to 2 months. The results for Radiesse are gradual and also immediate but stay for a shorter span than sculptra i.e. around 12 to 18 months.
Skin boosters, What are they?
The hype is real. Unlike Collagen stimulators, skin boosters are more into the hydration game. They are injected deeper into the skin cells that make your skin fully nourished and hydrated.
How do they work?
Skin boosters are just like hidden gems for your skin. The main component of skin boosters are everyone’s favorite Hyaluronic acid that works just like a moisture magnet. It quenches the moisture from the atmosphere and locks into the skin.
Most of the skin boosters used at DermaOne are made of hyaluronic acid and other essential vitamins that are injected into your skin layers to make it intensely hydrated, plumped and glowing. However, unlike collagen stimulators the skin boosters are injected superficially.
Our experts at DermaOne are using the following skin boosters:
- Profhilo is best for maintaining skin elasticity and hydration
-
- NCTF 135HA works for skin dullness and fatigue
- Revive fight environmental stressors to nourish the skin
- Juviderm Volite is best for tough areas like mouth and eyes
Results, they are quicker!
Skin boosters are better in terms of getting quick results. You can get glowing and immensely hydrated skin in a few days to weeks that last for a shorter span. They are not injected deeply therefore, the results fade away faster. However, skin boosters are ideal to recover skin dullness, fatigue and dehydration to make it glow from within.
Which one is better?
Both skin boosters and collagen stimulators have their own perks. It’s just about what your skin needs to have. If your skin is mature, saggy and has fine lines our expert at DermaOne will opt for collagen stimulators that will ultimately improve collagen production to make your skin younger-looking. Conversely, you might feel that your skin is dull, dry and fatigued due to environmental stressors which needs to be treated with skin booster shots. They are magical quick shots to make your skin hydrated and glowing.
It’s all about what your skin wants and we at DermaOne are there to serve you the best!
