Skin Boosters Treatment in Calgary
Skin Boosters are a type of specialized dermal filler noted by their use of a unique hyaluronic acid formulation. Unlike conventional fillers designed to add volume, Skin Boosters enhance skin quality without altering its volume. The treatment involves administering hundreds of microinjections, allowing the hyaluronic acid to blend seamlessly with the skin. This process significantly enhances the skin's smoothness, elasticity, and hydration levels, resulting in a healthier appearance. Notably, Dr. Metelitsa is among the pioneers in Canada to adopt this innovative treatment. The beneficial effects of Skin Boosters are long-lasting, with visible improvements persisting for 6 to 9 months.

Recovery Timeline & Post Treatment
After a Skin Booster treatment, following a specific recovery protocol is important to ensure optimal results and minimize any potential side effects. Avoid touching the treated areas for at least 6 hours, aiming for 12 hours if possible. To manage discomfort, paracetamol can be taken regularly for the first 24 hours and then as needed, avoiding ibuprofen due to its potential to increase bleeding.
To reduce the risk of bruising, steer clear of heavy alcohol consumption and makeup for the first 24 hours post-treatment. Refraining from strenuous exercise during this initial recovery period is also advisable. Hold off on using active skincare ingredients like Retinol and AHA/BHAs for at least three days to allow your skin to heal without irritation.
For the first two weeks following the procedure, avoid treatments that can stress the skin, such as facials, sunbeds, chemical peels, and laser resurfacing. Protect your skin from UV exposure and extreme temperatures, including saunas and steam rooms, to prevent increased discomfort and swelling. Extreme cold should also be avoided, but a cool compress can be applied gently to alleviate discomfort or swelling.
