Skin Boosters

Skin Boosters are specialist skincare formulations designed to complement professional microneedling treatments and address specific concerns involving skin hydration, texture, tone and visible signs of ageing. At Body Perfection Clinic, we offer seven targeted options: - EyeRevive PN: Under-eye hydration, fine lines and tired-looking skin. - Radiance Renew: Dullness, pigmentation and uneven skin tone. - TextureRenew: Uneven texture, fine lines and skin quality. - ToneRevive: Radiance, hydration and reduced skin firmness. - CopperGlow: Hydration, elasticity and fine lines. - Micro-tox: Fine lines, wrinkles and firmer-looking skin. - BodyRenew: Body skin texture, stretch marks and reduced elasticity. Our Skin Boosters are incorporated into microneedling treatments rather than administered as injectable skin boosters.

Our Skin Boosters are used alongside professional microneedling or Derma FNS microneedling. Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating natural repair processes associated with collagen and elastin production. The selected Skin Booster complements the procedure with a formulation designed for particular skincare concerns. Our range includes ingredients such as polynucleotides, peptides, hyaluronic acid, PDRN and other specialist skin-conditioning ingredients. Each formulation has a different intended purpose, and the additional benefits of individual ingredients when used with microneedling may vary.

Skin Boosters are incorporated into microneedling or Derma FNS microneedling treatments. During the procedure, you may experience a mild scratching, prickling or vibrating sensation as the device passes over the skin. Discomfort varies depending on the treatment area, needle depth and individual sensitivity. Your practitioner will explain what to expect and take appropriate steps to maintain comfort throughout the appointment.

Our Skin Booster range includes formulations designed for different facial and body concerns. Treatment areas may include: - Face: Fine lines, uneven texture, dullness, pigmentation and reduced firmness. - Under-eye area: Suitable concerns involving fine lines, dehydration and tired-looking skin, using an appropriately assessed technique. - Neck and décolletage: Selected concerns involving texture, fine lines and elasticity. - Body: Areas affected by stretch marks, uneven texture and mild loss of elasticity, using BodyRenew. Not every formulation is suitable for every area. Treatment around the eyes requires particular care, and microneedling must not be performed on the eyelids or too close to the eyes.

Treatment time varies depending on the area being treated, the selected Skin Booster and the microneedling procedure. Facial appointments may take approximately 45–60 minutes, while larger body areas may require longer. Your practitioner will confirm the expected appointment duration when booking

The number of treatments depends on your individual skin concerns and the results you hope to achieve. Some clients may notice improvements following one appointment, while concerns such as uneven texture, fine lines, acne scarring or stretch marks may benefit from a course of microneedling treatments. A course of approximately 3–6 sessions may be recommended for certain concerns, with appointments commonly spaced around 4–6 weeks apart, depending on the treatment protocol and skin recovery. Your practitioner will recommend a personalised plan following consultation.

Results depend on the selected booster, your skin condition and the microneedling treatment performed. Depending on your concerns, treatment may help improve the appearance of: - Fine lines and wrinkles. - Uneven skin texture and enlarged pores. - Dullness and uneven skin tone. - Dehydrated skin. - Mild loss of firmness and elasticity. - Selected acne scars and stretch marks. - Tired-looking skin around the eyes. Some improvements in hydration and skin appearance may be noticeable relatively quickly, while changes associated with microneedling generally develop over several weeks. Individual results vary, and the additional benefits of each booster formulation cannot be guaranteed.

Microneedling with Skin Boosters generally involves a short recovery period. Redness, warmth, sensitivity and mild swelling may occur for approximately 24–72 hours, although some clients experience effects for longer. Temporary dryness or flaking may also develop. Most clients can return to normal daily activities relatively quickly, provided they follow their aftercare instructions.

Skin Boosters used alongside professional microneedling can be appropriate for suitable clients when the products are specifically intended for that method of application and treatment is performed by a trained practitioner. However, all skin procedures carry some risks, including irritation, infection, pigmentation changes, allergic reactions and scarring. At Body Perfection Clinic, we assess individual suitability and select treatments according to skin concerns, medical history and the product's intended use.

It is normal for the skin to appear temporarily red, flushed or slightly swollen following microneedling. Some clients may also experience dryness, tightness or mild flaking as the skin recovers. These effects usually improve over several days. Improvements in skin texture and appearance generally develop gradually as the skin heals. Persistent or worsening symptoms should be medically assessed.

We recommend comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the treatment area. For facial treatments, avoid wearing heavy makeup and choose clothing with a comfortable neckline. For body treatments, such as BodyRenew, loose-fitting clothing is recommended to minimise friction and irritation afterwards.

Skin Boosters delivered alongside microneedling may not be suitable for everyone. Contraindications and precautions may include: - Active skin infections, including cold sores in the treatment area. - Inflamed or infected acne lesions. - Open wounds, broken skin or significant irritation. - Pregnancy or breastfeeding, depending on the products and treatment protocol. - Certain medical conditions affecting healing or immune function. - A history of keloid or abnormal scarring. - Certain medications, including some acne treatments or medicines affecting bleeding and healing. - Allergies or sensitivities to ingredients within the selected booster. - Recent skin procedures or significant sunburn. Your practitioner will assess your suitability before treatment. Some conditions require additional precautions rather than automatically preventing treatment.

A consultation allows us to assess your skin, discuss your concerns and determine which Skin Booster may be most suitable. We will review your medical history, current skincare routine, previous treatments and individual treatment goals. With seven specialist formulations available, including boosters targeting hydration, fine lines, pigmentation, uneven texture and reduced elasticity, your practitioner will recommend an appropriate option and explain the expected results, possible risks and aftercare requirements.

At Body Perfection Clinic, our standard face-to-face consultation costs £25, while telephone consultations are generally complimentary. An in-person skin assessment may be required to determine which Skin Booster and microneedling treatment is most appropriate for your individual concerns.

To prepare your skin for treatment, we recommend: - Avoiding retinoids, exfoliating acids and facial scrubs for approximately 3–5 days beforehand, unless otherwise advised. - Avoiding excessive sun exposure, sunbeds and tanning products. - Avoiding waxing or other intensive exfoliating treatments immediately before your appointment. - Keeping your skin hydrated with a gentle moisturiser. - Arriving with clean skin, free from makeup where possible. - Informing your practitioner of any medications, allergies, medical conditions, recent treatments or history of cold sores. If you have an active skin infection, significant irritation or broken skin, your appointment may need to be postponed.

Following your Skin Booster treatment with microneedling or Derma FNS microneedling, your skin may appear red, feel warm or experience temporary sensitivity. - Avoid touching or rubbing the treated area unnecessarily. - Use only gentle skincare products recommended by your practitioner. - Avoid makeup for at least 24 hours, or until advised it is suitable. - Avoid retinoids, exfoliating acids and harsh skincare products for approximately 5–7 days. - Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, steam rooms and excessive heat for 24–48 hours. - Avoid swimming until the skin has recovered. - Protect your skin from direct sunlight and use suitable broad-spectrum SPF 30–50 as advised. - Follow any additional aftercare instructions provided for your chosen Skin Booster. If you develop increasing pain, spreading redness, excessive warmth, discharge or fever, seek prompt medical advice.
