What to expect after Skin Boosters
Skin boosters are designed to deeply hydrate the skin, improve skin quality, and support a fresher, smoother, healthier appearance over time. Mild redness, swelling, tenderness, and small injection marks are common after treatment and usually settle within a few days.
Following the correct aftercare helps reduce irritation, supports healing, and helps you get the best result from your treatment.
- Mild redness and swelling (24–72 hours)
- Small raised bumps at injection points (usually settle within 24–72 hours)
- Tenderness or slight sensitivity
- Possible mild bruising
- Skin may feel hydrated but slightly tight initially
- Results improve gradually over 2–4 weeks
These effects are all completely normal and usually temporary. They commonly improve over the next 24 to 72 hours, although bruising can last longer in some individuals.
