As usual, is spot on with this video. If you’re not following him yet, go give him a follow.

The sun does cause skin cancer, so avoidance, physical protection, and sunscreen are key. ☀️🧴

Part 10 of the skin booster series. My opinion. Yes or no?

The honest answer is that we don’t really know. Many skin boosters likely produce similar short term results, and a big part of the initial improvement comes from the needle itself. Any injection causes mild swelling, which can temporarily improve smoothness and radiance, much like microneedling.

Safety is my biggest concern, especially with newer products that lack long term safety and efficacy data. Never inject over active skin disease.

If you choose to proceed, my preference is hyaluronic acid due to its long track record of safety, such as Juvederm, Restylane or Profhilo. Polynucleotides are also proving very safe, with emerging positive data.

Part 9 of the skin booster series. What do we not know about injectable skin boosters?

There is no standardisation in products or treatment protocols, making outcomes, complications and serious adverse events difficult to track and compare.

Objective measurement of results is limited, and there are very few high quality, controlled studies assessing safety and efficacy.

We also do not fully understand how commonly mixed ingredients interact with each other or behave long term in the skin.

Aside from hyaluronic acid, there is a major lack of robust evidence supporting many skin boosters.

More high quality research is needed before clear conclusions can be drawn.

Episode 8 of the skin booster series. Today we’re talking about what could go wrong.

Potential risks and side effects include foreign body granuloma formation, which can present as nodules in the skin. Skin boosters should not be combined with energy based device treatments such as lasers, as this may increase the risk of nodule formation.

There is also a risk of local or systemic hypersensitivity, particularly if substances not approved for dermal injection are used. Common local injection effects include redness, swelling and flare ups of inflammatory skin conditions.

Not all patients will see an improvement, and there is a real risk of no effect at all. There can also be a significant financial impact due to the perceived need for multiple treatments to achieve results.

💉 Part 7 of the skin booster series. Today we are talking about Botox as a skin booster.

Botox is a botulinum neurotoxin traditionally used to stop muscle movement and treat wrinkles.

When injected intradermally, it is marketed to improve skin elasticity, hydration and redness, often in combination with hyaluronic acid. These combinations are mixed by the practitioner and are not approved skin booster products.

Botox is FDA, UK and EU approved for wrinkles, but not as a skin booster.

Common brands include Botox, Dysport and Xeomin.

Evidence is limited. I found only a small number of moderate quality studies, and in my own experience using this for redness, I did not see a significant improvement.
