A dry, dull and dehydrated skin can  make you look tired and older while severely impacting your personality as well. Although you may be trying various skincare products to achieve a clear, glowing skin, they may not always provide the desired results.  If you find yourself in such a situation, glow boosters could be something you need. 

In this article, let’s learn all about this glow booster treatment for dry, dull and dehydrated skin from a renowned dermatologist and the founder and Chairman of Dadu Medical Centre, Dr Nivedita Dadu.

What are Glow Boosters?

Glow Boosters are injectables that instantly hydrate your skin and make it soft and supple. The key ingredient in these boosters is hyaluronic acid, which has the ability to bind up to 1000 times its weight in water.  This acid is used in most of the skincare treatments to deeply and naturally hydrate the skin from within. When the skin is healthy on the inside, it glows and shines on the outside. This skin rejuvenation treatment can be done on the face, neck, forehead, under eye area as well as lips for improved hydration, texture and radiant look.

What exactly is Glow Booster treatment?

Glow booster treatment starts with the application of an anaesthetic cream on the patient’s face to ensure  the whole procedure is painless. After that hyaluronic acid is injected into the skin using minute needles where it activates the fibroblast cells that promote new collagen and elastin formation, which in turn results in smooth, plump and healthy-looking skin. The effects of this treatment are immediately noticeable, and over the course of 15 days, the results continue to improve.

Glow booster treatment is best for you if your skin looks shrivelled or the tone, quality and texture of your skin is not good. Moreover, if your skin is steroid damaged or sensitive, this treatment can work wonders.

Dr Nivedita Dadu says, “Glow boosters also act as a very good base for undergoing other skin treatments as well like chemical peel.”

She further adds that after this treatment you don’t have to apply too much makeup as your skin will become translucent and shine naturally. Also, you’ll get rid of a number of skin problems.

What are the benefits of Glow Boosters?

1. Helps to reduce signs of ageing: Glow boosters not only provide tightness and lift to the skin but also reduce the appearance of fine lines and minute wrinkles, which appear due to dry papery skin. 
2. Boosts elastin and collagen production: When hyaluronic acid is injected into the skin, it spreads along the tissue and helps in capturing moisture, thus improving elasticity of the skin. It further promotes collagen production which is necessary for maintaining skin’s structure and firmness.
3. Painless procedure: Glow booster treatment is neither painful nor time-consuming.

Are Glow boosters similar to fillers?

Glow boosters and fillers are both used to improve the appearance of skin, but they are two very different types of injectable skincare treatments. While fillers are used to lift the skin and recover the volume loss that happens with age, glow boosters are used to hydrate the skin from within and improve the overall texture and elasticity.

Takeaway

Glow booster treatment is not a salon treatment which is done for a temporary glow. It is done to correct your skin and its results stay for a long time. It is advisable to get the details of your treatment customised by a dermatologist for desired results.
