Skin Boosters
Book NowSkin boosters place small depots of lightweight HA just under the skin to attract water, improving elasticity, smoothness, and glow without adding shape or volume. Protocols usually include a short series, then maintenance a few times per year.
If you have a special event or vacation, schedule your appointment at least 4–6 weeks in advance. Avoid booking if you have been unwell, recently vaccinated (within 2 weeks), or have upcoming dental procedures.
Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements for 7–14 days before treatment unless prescribed, including Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Warfarin (consult first), Vitamin E, fish oil, flaxseed oil, garlic, Ginkgo Biloba, St. John’s Wort, and essential fatty acids. Avoid alcohol and caffeine for 24 hours prior.
Inform Platinum Medical Spa of all medications, supplements, and medical history. If you have a history of cold sores, notify us at least 1 week prior; antiviral medication (e.g., Valacyclovir/Valtrex) may be prescribed.
Avoid other facial treatments or cosmetic procedures before your appointment. Avoid sun exposure, extreme heat, and strenuous exercise for 24 hours prior to reduce bruising risk.
Arrive with a clean face (no makeup or skincare). Eat a light meal before your appointment. Avoid intense exercise immediately before treatment.
Optional: Zinc supplements may be taken a few days prior. Ensure you have reviewed your consent form and treatment information before your appointment.
HA draws moisture into the dermis for a plumper, dewier surface.
Softens crepiness and micro-lines so makeup sits beautifully.
Enhances quality without changing facial contours.
Face, neck, and hands respond well for uniform glow.
Following cleanse and topical numbing, micro-deposits are placed by needle or cannula. Expect a grid of tiny bumps that settle within 24–72 hours. Sessions take 20–40 minutes; typical plan is 2–3 visits ~4 weeks apart.
Avoid touching the treated area and do not apply makeup for at least 12 hours. Do not lie directly on treated areas for at least 4–24 hours. Mild redness, swelling, tenderness, and bruising are normal.
Avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, and excessive movement of the treated area. Avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, and anti-inflammatory medications unless prescribed; you may take Acetaminophen (Tylenol) if needed.
Cleanse gently the evening after treatment without applying pressure. Shower normally the next day. Avoid rubbing or massaging the area. Use cool compresses within 48 hours if needed to reduce swelling.
Avoid sun exposure, saunas, hot environments, and swimming (including sea water) for up to 2 weeks. Avoid facials, waxing, or massage in the treated area for 2 weeks.
It is normal to feel small lumps initially as the product settles. Results improve gradually. A treatment course is recommended, typically spaced every 4–6 weeks.
Contact Platinum Medical Spa immediately if you experience increasing pain, unusual swelling, redness, pus, numbness, visual changes, severe headache, or signs of cold sores. Changes in skin color (paleness, mottling, or rash) should also be reported. If you have any concerns, please contact us for support.
