Frequently Asked Questions

What is a skin booster?+
Skin boosters are low-viscosity hyaluronic acid injectables designed to deeply hydrate the skin and improve its radiance, texture, and elasticity. Unlike conventional fillers, they do not fill wrinkles but revitalise the skin from within. Profhilo is among the most advanced: it diffuses throughout the dermis while also stimulating fibroblasts.
What is the difference between a skin booster and a classic hyaluronic acid filler?+
Classic hyaluronic acid (filler) is a dense gel used to fill wrinkles and restore volume (cheekbones, lips, etc.). Skin boosters have a fluid texture — they do not create volume but hydrate and redensify the skin across the entire treated surface. The two approaches are complementary.
How many sessions are needed?+
For Profhilo, the standard protocol is 2 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart. For other skin boosters, 2 to 3 sessions are generally recommended. Maintenance every 6 to 12 months sustains the results.
Which areas can be treated?+
Face (cheeks, forehead, eye contour), neck, décolletage, hands, and inner arms. Profhilo is particularly appreciated for the face and neck. Hands respond very well to skin boosters for correcting dryness and skin ageing.
Are there any side effects?+
Skin boosters are very well tolerated. Mild redness and small transient papules (less than 24 hours) may appear at injection points. Social downtime is nil to minimal. Contraindications are the same as for any injectable: pregnancy, known allergy, active autoimmune diseases.
What are skin boosters such as Restylane Skinboosters or Juvederm Volite, and how do they differ from fillers?+
Skin boosters (Restylane Skinboosters, Juvederm Volite, Profhilo) are low-viscosity hyaluronic acid formulations designed to integrate into the dermis and diffuse uniformly throughout it. Unlike classic fillers, which create a localised volumising effect, skin boosters add no volume but improve the intrinsic quality of the skin: deep hydration, elasticity, radiance, and cutaneous density. They can be combined with fillers for a comprehensive rejuvenation approach.
How many skin booster sessions are recommended for an optimal result?+
The standard protocol depends on the product chosen. For Profhilo, 2 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart are recommended, followed by maintenance every 6 to 12 months. For Restylane Skinboosters, 3 initial sessions spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart are ideal, then a maintenance session every 6 months. Dr. de Clermont-Tonnerre determines the precise number of sessions during the initial consultation based on skin condition and objectives.
Are skin boosters effective on all areas: face, neck, décolletage, and hands?+
Yes, skin boosters are versatile and suitable for many areas. The face (cheeks, forehead, eye contour) is the primary indication for improving radiance and skin density. The neck and décolletage — areas that often betray age — respond very well to these treatments. Hands, which suffer from dehydration and early ageing, also benefit from skin boosters to regain suppleness and a youthful appearance. Treatment is tailored to each area by Dr. de Clermont-Tonnerre.
Can skin boosters and Botox be combined in the same session?+
Yes, combining a skin booster with botulinum toxin in the same consultation is entirely possible and often advisable for a global rejuvenation approach. Botox attenuates dynamic wrinkles of the forehead and eye area, while the skin booster improves the overall quality and hydration of the skin. These two treatments are complementary and can be performed in the same session without contraindication, according to the treatment plan defined by Dr. de Clermont-Tonnerre.
When are skin booster results visible and how long do they last?+
A first cutaneous radiance is generally perceptible from day 3 to day 7 after the session. The result continues to improve after the second session and is optimal 4 to 6 weeks after the end of the initial protocol. The duration of effects varies according to the product and the patient's metabolism: approximately 6 to 9 months for Profhilo and Juvederm Volite, and up to 9 to 12 months for Restylane Skinboosters. Maintenance sessions help sustain the benefits over time.
Is there any social downtime after a skin booster?+
Social downtime after a skin booster is nil to minimal. Small papules or redness at injection points generally disappear within a few hours, and at most within 24 hours. There is no notable swelling and bruising is rare in the vast majority of cases. Make-up can be applied the following day. It is one of the injectable treatments with the lowest social constraint, making it compatible with an active professional and social life.
