Skin Boosters
Restore firmness,
tone, and elasticity.
How it works
Skin boosters or bio-remodellers are high concentrates of hyaluronic acid (HA) which can be injected into the superficial layers of the skin. This stimulates the cells to rebuild, improves lines, wrinkles, skin laxity, loss of elasticity, and dullness.
Unlike fillers, these do not add any volume or structure. Instead it delivers a deep surge of hydration into your skin to naturally help repair, rebuild and stimulate your collagen and elastin fibres. Profhilo®, Sunekos® and Skinvive® all have unique delivery systems which allows the deeper layers of the skin to be stimulated. All of the skin boosters available at bo. work slightly differently and target different concerns, it's about finding the right one for you. Skin boosters look extremely natural and are currently the most effective treatment to restore firmness, tone, and elasticity.
After having a treatment you will initially notice an increase in hydration levels and your skin may glow. With the best results seen 12 weeks post treatment.
Each treatment has a slightly different protocol, some are to be done once a year and others you may need an initial course.
Consultations are $50 if you would like to see which one is best suited to you.
Pre-treatment
Prior to your treatment we will complete a full consultation to assess your suitability. We will be able to answer any questions or concerns, tailor a treatment plan and talk you through the process. We recommend that during your consultation you address all of your concerns.
To reduce the likelihood of bruising we recommend avoiding blood thinning medications one week prior to your appointment, such as: aspirin, ibuprofen and fish oils (consult your medical practitioner first).
Post-treatment
After your appointment the area can be red, lumpy and tender for up to 48 hours. Swelling and bruising is common and sometimes can take up to a week to resolve, for some clients antihistamines are recommended to help this (consult your doctor first). The treated area can experience mild to moderate pain which will continue to improve over the next two to five days. Lumps are also normal, it can take up two six weeks for the product to blend into the tissue.
For the first 24 hours after, gentle cleansing and your normal skincare routine is fine, but we recommend you avoid oil based products, AHAs, retinol, and vitamin C.
Results
Typically you need to allow 3 months for the true results, however the next day afters your treatment you will notice your skin will glow from the increased hydration levels.
With all skin boosters you will need top-up or maintenance session every 6-9 months (depending on which treatment you had and the quality of your skin) to further enhance its effects. Results do vary.
Side effects & complications

We are highly educated and trained to deal with complications if they were to arise. If you think you are experiencing a complication please get in touch as soon as possible. Sever pain when touching the area, throbbing, blanching (whitening) around the area and grazes on the skin can be signs of a possible complication. Do not delay contact even if it has been a while since your treatment.
