Skinbooster (often called "水光针" in Chinese) is an injectable cosmetic treatment that uses microneedles to deliver high-concentration hyaluronic acid (HA) along with active ingredients such as amino acids, vitamins, and minerals into the dermis. This deeply hydrates the skin, stimulates collagen and elastin production, and improves skin texture, reduces fine lines, minimizes pores, and brightens the complexion.
✅ Key Features
Ingredients: Primarily hyaluronic acid, some products also include amino acids, antioxidants, and polynucleotides.
Mechanism of Action: Microinjections deliver ingredients into the dermis, continuously releasing moisture and nutrients from the inside out, improving skin hydration and elasticity.
Suitable for:
Dry, dull, and dehydrated skin
Fine lines, enlarged pores, and acne scars
Prematurely aging or mature skin seeking to restore radiance and firmness
Treatment Information
Number of Treatments: Three treatments are generally recommended initially, separated by 2–4 weeks, followed by maintenance treatments every 6 months. Longevity: A single treatment lasts approximately three months, and a full course of treatment can last 12–15 months.
Treatment Areas: Suitable for the face, neck, back of the hands, chest, and other areas.
Side Effects and Recovery: Recovery is short, with mild redness and swelling common, typically resolving within the same day.
