What should you know about Teoxane skin booster?

Instead of creating a focused projection like a cheek or chin filler, a skin booster is delivered through multiple small injections in selected areas. The treatment may be considered for dryness, fine surface lines, rough texture or a tired-looking appearance. It does not correct every cause of these concerns, and it cannot substitute for sunscreen, moisturiser or treatment of an active skin condition.

Temporary pinpoints, swelling, bruising, tenderness or small lumps can occur. Your clinician should explain the intended areas, the product used, how your skin may respond and when improvement should be reviewed. Previous filler, inflammatory skin disease, infection, medicines and allergies can change whether treatment is appropriate.

Use the consultation to describe your desired change in plain language and show any previous treatment history. Mention pregnancy or breastfeeding, immune problems, cold sores, allergies, blood-thinning medicines and upcoming dental or cosmetic procedures. Follow personalised instructions and never stop a prescribed medicine without medical guidance.

After injections, follow the clinic's cleansing and activity advice. Avoid rubbing the sites and postpone intense heat, exercise or facial treatments when instructed. Protect treated skin from sunlight and use gentle products while it settles. A review can distinguish expected swelling from a problem and can prevent premature top-up treatment.

Some local redness, swelling and bruising are expected after injections. Seek prompt advice for increasing pain, marked pallor or dusky colour, unusual coolness, blisters, or swelling that is progressing rather than settling. New vision changes, facial weakness, speech difficulty or breathing problems require emergency care.

Ask which skin concerns the treatment can reasonably address, which areas will be injected, how the product differs from a volumising filler, and how aftercare changes your normal routine. Confirm the review timing, the clinic's emergency contact route and what alternatives fit your skin and goals.
