Skin Analysis

WHAT ARE SKIN BOOSTERS?

Skin boosters are a type of injectable treatment that delivers hydration deep into the skin. Unlike traditional fillers, which add volume, skin boosters focus on enhancing the skin’s quality. They are particularly effective in areas prone to fine lines and dehydration, such as the face, neck, and hands.

THE BENEFITS OF SKIN BOOSTERS

DEEP HYDRATION

Improves skin moisture levels for a radiant glow.

FAQS ABOUT SKIN BOOSTERS

  • Are skin boosters suitable for all skin types?
    Yes, skin boosters are versatile and suitable for all skin types, especially those looking to improve hydration and skin texture.
  • What is the recovery time for skin boosters?
    There is minimal recovery time, with most clients resuming their normal activities immediately after the treatment.
  • What can I expect from a consultation?
    During the consultation, our experienced and licensed aesthetician will evaluate your skin type, discuss your medical history, and assess your expectations and goals. Based on this information, we will recommend the most suitable procedure and provide you with a personalised treatment plan. This consultation will ensure that you are well-informed about the procedure, understand the risks and benefits, and are mentally and physically prepared for it.
  • What is Clio Derma and what services are offered?
    Clio Derma is a Wellness & Aesthetics clinic. Clio Derma represents authenticity, freedom, confidence and ‘true beauty’: YOU. We are making a commitment to take a holistic approach to beauty and always prioritise our clients’ mental health. Our mission is to eliminate your external insecurity without taking away from what makes you, you.
  • How does mental health play a role?
    A healthy mind plays a significant role in making decisions about having cosmetic procedures, especially in the consultation process. It is essential to understand that cosmetic treatments are not a cure for underlying emotional issues. Our professionals watch out for any warning signs of emotional distress or disorders and will take this into consideration before proceeding with any cosmetic treatment. We believe that taking care of your mind is just as important as taking care of your physical health, and we strive to create a safe and supportive environment for all of our clients. We understand that mental health issues are often not obvious-- so we encourage all patients to speak up about any emotional concerns. We may not be able to help directly but are here to listen, supply you with resources and signpost you to the relevant services available near you.
  • I'm not sure what treatment is most suitable for me. Can you help?
    That's what we're here for! Our consultation process is free and tailor-made to create a treatment plan built around your overall quality of life. We will take the time to listen to your appearance goals and concerns, explain the different available treatments in as much or as little detail you want, and answer any questions.
  • How long does the procedure last and what does it involve?
    Dermal filler injection procedures typically take anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes. The treatment involves injecting small amounts of dermal filler into the skin using a fine needle. The filler is carefully placed in specific areas to add volume, smooth out wrinkles, or improve skin texture. Before the procedure, a topical numbing cream may be applied to minimise discomfort. Our experienced and licensed professionals will provide you with detailed post-procedure instructions to ensure optimal results.
  • Will the results look natural?
    Yes- at Clio Derma, we strive to achieve natural-looking results with all of our treatments. Our practitioners have a keen eye for detail and will ensure that the filler is placed in the right areas to achieve a subtle and natural look. Our goal is to enhance your features, not alter them drastically. You can trust us to provide you with a safe and effective treatment that will leave you looking and feeling your best.
  • When can expect to see results of filler injections?
    The results of hyaluronic acid filler injections are visible immediately after the treatment. However, it is important to note that swelling and bruising may occur, which can temporarily affect the results. The full effect of the treatment may take up to 1-2 weeks to become fully apparent. During this time, the filler will settle into the skin and any swelling or bruising will subside.
  • What recovery time is required after filler injections?
    Generally, patients can resume their normal activities immediately after the treatment. However, some patients may experience swelling or bruising at the injection site. These symptoms usually subside within a few days. You can also apply ice packs to the injection site to reduce any swelling or bruising. We recommend avoiding strenuous exercise, alcohol, and excessive sun exposure for the first 24-48 hours after the treatment to minimise swelling and bruising.
  • What are dermal fillers?
    Dermal fillers are injectable substances that are used to restore/ add volume and smoothness to the skin. They are typically made of Hyaluronic Acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps maintain skin hydration and elasticity. When injected into the skin, these fillers can help to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and other signs of aging. Hyaluronic Acid fillers are also used to enhance lips and cheeks, and to correct facial asymmetry by enhancing facial contours.
  • Are there any side effects?
    As with any cosmetic procedure, there are potential side effects of dermal fillers. Some common side effects may include redness, swelling, bruising, and tenderness at the injection site. These side effects are typically mild and temporary and resolve on their own within a few days after the procedure.
  • How long do the effects of dermal fillers last?
    The effects of dermal fillers can last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years, depending on the type of filler used and the area it was injected. Factors such as age, skin type, lifestyle, and metabolism can also affect the longevity of the results.
  • Are dermal filler injections safe?
    Dermal filler injections are safe when performed by a trained and licensed professional, like our team at Clio Derma. We only use top-quality FDA-approved dermal fillers and follow strict protocols to ensure your safety during the injection process. It's important to note that dermal fillers are not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women, individuals with certain medical conditions, or those with a history of allergic reactions.
  • Are there any side effects?
    While botox injections are safe and effective, there are potential side effects to be aware of. Some patients may experience temporary bruising, swelling, or redness at the injection site. In rare cases, botox can cause headaches, nausea, or drooping of the eyelid or eyebrow, but these symptoms are generally mild and short-lived. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, you should contact our team immediately.
  • What is Botulinum Toxin Type A?
    Botulinum Toxin Type A, commonly known as Botox, is a cosmetic injection that is used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines on the face. It is a purified protein that is derived from the bacteria Clostridium botulinum, and works by blocking nerve impulses that cause muscle contractions in the face.
  • How long do the effects of botox treatments last?
    The effects of botox can vary depending on the individual and the area being treated. Factors such as the dosage administered, the area treated, and the patient's metabolism can all play a role in how long the effects of botox last. Typically, the effects can last anywhere from 3 to 6 months-- however, with consistent treatments over time, the effects can last longer as the muscles become trained to relax.
  • How long does the procedure take and what does it involve?
    Botox procedures typically take around 15-30 minutes, depending on the number of areas being treated. During the procedure, a small amount of botulinum toxin is injected into the targeted muscles with a fine needle. This temporarily paralyses the muscles, smoothing out wrinkles and fine lines. At Clio Derma, our licensed and experienced professionals will ensure that the procedure is safe and comfortable. Before the procedure, we will conduct a thorough consultation to determine the most suitable treatment plan for your individual needs.
  • What recovery time is required after botox injections?
    Most people are able to resume their normal activities immediately after the procedure. However, we recommend avoiding strenuous exercise and massaging the treated area for at least 24 hours to prevent the botox from spreading to unintended muscles.
  • When can I expect to see results of botox injections?
    Typically, patients will begin to see results within 3-5 days after their treatment. However, it may take up to two weeks for the full effects of botox to be visible.
  • Are Botulinum Toxin injections safe?
    Botulinum Toxin injections have been used for cosmetic purposes for over 20 years with an excellent safety record. Rest assured, when administered by our trained and licensed professionals, Botulinum Toxin injections are a safe and effective treatment. We use only FDA-approved products and follow strict injection protocols to minimise any potential risks.
  • Will the results look natural?
    Yes, the natural look is what we specialise in! We believe that less is more and our goal is to enhance your natural beauty, not change your appearance. Our experienced and licensed providers use precise techniques and a customised approach to give you a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance while ensuring that you maintain your natural facial expressions.
  • How can I minimise swelling and bruising?
    Here are some tips to minimise swelling & bruising and help you enjoy the best results as soon as possible: Be Gentle: Resist the urge to touch or massage the treated area during the first 1 - 2 days following your procedure. This helps keep the filler or Botox right where it should be. Stay Uplifted: After your treatment, try to keep your head elevated for a few hours. Avoid bending over or lying down too soon; this can keep the injected substance in place and reduce the chance of bruising. Take it Easy: Give yourself permission to skip vigorous exercise or strenuous activities for the first 24 - 48 hours after your treatment. This gentle approach can minimise both swelling and bruising. Keep it cool: Steer clear of excessive heat, including hot showers, saunas, and sun/tanning beds, for a little while. To reduce swelling & bruising, use an ice pack (for lips, ice cream will do the trick too!) Watch the drinks: To help reduce the risk of bruising, try to avoid alcohol 24 hours before and after your procedure. Instead, stay hydrated with plenty of water. Remember, self-care after a treatment is like giving your future self a gift of beautiful results. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to reach out. Cheers to looking and feeling your best!
