Hyaluronic acid is a precious substance that holds moisture, like a sponge, in our skin, so it appears plump, hydrated and smooth.
It is a crucial component, naturally produced within the body and is found within the skin and subcutaneous tissues.
Having discovered the benefits of hyaluronic acid (HA), many cosmetics and skin health companies are now coming up with varied formulas to include this as a "must-have" in their products, such as serums, creams, facial mist, etc.
SkinHydra Booster is a safe, FDA-approved treatment that comprises one of the highest concentrations of stabilised hyaluronic acid available.
It is the first BDDE-free stabilised HA-based injectable developed with IBSA patented NAHYCO® technology to address skin concerns via a bioremodelling process.
It effectively stimulates the production of all FOUR types of collagen and elastin responsible for skin's youthful and healthier appearance and is used to counter signs of skin ageing.
SkinHydra Booster is chemically bonded, which is different from other HA-based dermal fillers that are thermally bonded.
Although both SkinHydra Booster and HA-based dermal fillers consist of the same key ingredient, hyaluronic acid, the gel's molecular configuration and mechanical properties differ.
SkinHydra Booster usually consists of two treatments carried out one month apart.
In the first treatment session, our doctor will inject BioRemodelling HA+ under the skin's surface using fine needles at five specific points on each side of the face.
This allows the gel-like product to disperse evenly and react with the patient's tissue, giving the skin a hydration boost.
During the following four weeks, the treatment continues its work and enhances collagen and elastin production, lending a smoother and more plump-up appearance, thus remodelling the skin.
The following SkinHydra Booster will be scheduled in a month. Maintenance treatment can be carried out every six months.
This treatment is designed for those:
Lines and wrinkles will appear less noticeable, and skin will be more hydrated, smoother and firmer.
You may notice that your skin appears more "plump-up", vibrant and healthy.
Improvements usually occur for about four weeks and increase with new collagen and elastin formation.
There is minimal to zero downtime with this quick and fuss-free treatment. The injection points may be noticeable initially, but they should subside within a day or two.
For the first 24 hours following treatment, please refrain from applying makeup or participating in any strenuous exercise, including swimming.
Also, avoid using steam rooms or saunas while the skin is healing during the first few days.
SkinHydra Booster is marked as a medical device in Singapore under HSA regulation and can only be prescribed and carried out by registered and trained medical doctors in Singapore.
Dr Ivan Puah, medical director of Amaris B. Clinic, obtained a Graduate Diploma in Family Dermatology from NUS.
He has over 20 years of clinical experience treating patients with skin laxity, wrinkles, fine lines, hyperpigmentation, acne scarring issues, and many others.
Dr Puah is also the appointed trainer-to-doctor by Merz Singapore and Allergan Singapore.

Is SkinHydra Booster safe? Are there any possible risks or side effects?
SkinHydra Booster contains no synthetic chemicals and is completely metabolised in the body.
Although it is not uncommon to experience some tenderness, redness, or minor bruising post-treatment, these effects are temporary and should clear up in a few hours or up to a day.
However, if other side effects are present, please consult a doctor immediately.
Who is not suitable to undergo SkinHydra Booster?
Those with bleeding conditions or underlying medical conditions that result in a weaker immune system, such as HIV, cancer, or diabetes, must always seek medical advice and clearance before undergoing any form of cosmetic treatment.
SkinHydra Booster is also not recommended if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Who is the ideal candidate for SkinHydra Booster?
It is suitable for those unhappy with their skin laxity or experiencing obvious signs of ageing, such as wrinkles, fine lines, or collagen loss.
Can SkinHydra Booster be combined with other aesthetic treatments?
Certainly! On its own, SkinHydra Booster can stimulate the skin to produce youth-boosting collagen, elastin, and deep hydration.
It can also be combined with other treatment types, for example, Pico Fractional Laser, Ultherapy, or Anti-wrinkle injection (BoNTA), to further counter ageing and improve skin health.
