As we age, the skin undergoes visible structural changes-just like many other parts of the body. The natural production of key skin components such as collagen, fibroblasts, and hyaluronic acid gradually decreases. As a result, the skin may become drier and less elastic, and signs of aging such as fine lines, wrinkles, and mild sagging can become more noticeable.
External factors like sun exposure, environmental stress, hormonal changes, smoking, and alcohol use may accelerate these changes. For patients who want to improve hydration and support a healthier skin texture, Skin Booster treatment-often referred to as a Moisture Injection-is one of the commonly preferred non-surgical options.
Skin Booster therapy is based on delivering skin-supporting substances into the dermis using microinjections. Since hyaluronic acid plays a major role in maintaining hydration and skin resilience, it is typically used as a core component. Depending on individual skin needs, formulations may also include minerals, vitamins, mannitol, or other activating molecules.
By improving the skin's ability to retain water, the treatment supports moisture balance and may help enhance the overall appearance of the skin over time. In many cases, even a single session can provide noticeable improvement in radiance and skin comfort, while further sessions may be planned for longer-term results.
For international patients considering aesthetic treatments in Turkey, Tekirdağ's close proximity to Istanbul can be a practical advantage for scheduling consultations and follow-up care.
Where Can Skin Booster (Moisture Injection) Be Applied?
Skin Booster treatment can be applied to areas where signs of dryness, aging, or texture changes are visible. It is frequently used for:
- Face and neck (most common areas)
- Areas with post-acne marks or uneven texture
- Décolletage (upper chest), especially for vertical fine lines
- Areas with scars (depending on suitability)
- Hands, where aging signs may appear earlier
Both women and men can benefit from a hydration-focused skin booster plan, depending on medical suitability.
What Are the Effects of Skin Booster (Moisture Injection)?
Skin boosters are not designed as an instant "one-day change" solution. Instead, they support the skin gradually by improving hydration and skin quality. Commonly described effects include:
- Supports the skin's water retention capacity
- Helps improve elasticity and firmness
- Increases skin hydration levels
- May contribute to a more refreshed and healthier-looking skin
- Helps smooth the appearance of fine lines
- Improves overall skin texture and softness
- May support a more even-looking skin tone
- Encourages cell renewal, which can help with certain skin irregularities
- Supports collagen activity, contributing to a more plumped and revitalized appearance over time
Is Skin Booster Treatment Painful?
The procedure is typically well tolerated. Very fine needles are used, and a topical anesthetic cream is usually applied beforehand to increase comfort. Most patients do not describe the procedure as painful.
After the session, significant pain is not expected. Mild sensitivity may occur temporarily, depending on individual skin response.
Are There Any Side Effects?
Skin Booster (Moisture Injection) treatment is generally considered safe when performed by qualified professionals. The main potential risk is a rare allergic reaction to specific ingredients, which is uncommon but still possible.
Aside from this, side effects are usually minimal and may include temporary mild redness or sensitivity at injection points. A personalized consultation is recommended to assess suitability and minimize risks.
Procedure Process
Before starting the treatment, the target area is selected together with the patient during consultation. A personalized plan is created based on skin needs and expectations. In general, the Skin Booster (Moisture Injection) procedure includes the following steps:
- The treatment area is numbed using a topical anesthetic cream.
- Thanks to local anesthesia, most patients do not feel pain during the session.
- The treatment is typically performed using a mesotherapy-based technique.
- A specially prepared solution (often a hyaluronic acid-based cocktail) is delivered into the appropriate dermal layer of the skin.
- The procedure is performed via microinjections using fine needles.
- The micro-needles are applied at controlled depth to reach the planned skin layer.
- The customized formulation is injected according to the skin's hydration and rejuvenation requirements.
- Since downtime is minimal, Skin Booster treatment generally does not require clinical or home rest, and patients can usually return to daily life on the same day.
Aftercare & Recovery
Since Skin Booster (Moisture Injection) is performed only via microinjections, it usually does not require special preparation beforehand. After the procedure, basic hygiene and following your doctor's recommendations are typically sufficient to minimize the risk of infection.
This treatment is designed to be compatible with daily routines. In most cases, it does not prevent you from working, socializing, or driving, and patients can usually return to normal life the same day.
After the session, the following points are commonly observed:
- Mild redness may occur at the injection sites due to the microinjections.
- This redness is temporary and generally resolves on its own without intervention.
- A visible improvement process may start shortly after the procedure, depending on individual skin response.
- Depending on the active ingredients used, cell renewal may be supported, contributing to a brighter and fresher-looking complexion.
- As hydration improves, the skin may appear more radiant, smoother, and healthier over time.
- The treatment can be repeated when needed, based on skin goals and clinical evaluation.
- The number of sessions required to achieve the desired effect varies from person to person.
