Skin Boosting Treatments

When considering any aesthetic treatment, it is important to be informed about potential risks and to consider two key factors: the safety of the treatment process and the qualifications, training, and experience of the person performing it. Taking time to research your options is strongly recommended.

All medical procedures carry possible side‑effects, which will be discussed with you during your consultation. Treatments designed to restore or enhance facial features use a smooth gel‑based material placed beneath the skin. As with any procedure of this nature, temporary effects such as swelling, bruising, lumpiness or mild discomfort can occur and generally resolve within a few days with simple aftercare. In rare cases, more significant side‑effects such as infection, allergic reaction, granuloma, or tissue injury have been reported, and in extremely rare circumstances, visual changes or vision loss have been documented.

At The Cosmetic Studio Noosa, our team is trained in emergency response and the management of all adverse events in line with recognised clinical safety guidelines. We follow strict protocols for safe treatment delivery and medical management should a complication arise. At your initial consultation, and at least every 12 months thereafter, you will have a consultation with one of our supervising medical practitioners, who will review your medical history, current medications, and any allergies or health conditions that may affect your suitability for treatment.

Our clinical team undergoes ongoing professional development and participates in regular in‑clinic safety and skills training. We also stay current with industry safety standards and emergency protocols through professional memberships and conference attendance. For your safety, we only use products and devices supplied via approved Australian therapeutic channels and with established safety profiles.

Depending on the area being treated and the product selected, most Skin Boosting Treatments can be completed within a 30 to 60 minute appointment. In some cases, you may be asked to arrive earlier so that a topical anaesthetic cream can be applied to help maximise comfort.

Over time, the hydrating gel used in Skin Boosting Treatments is gradually broken down by the body. To help maintain your results, we recommend follow-up sessions before the effects fully wear off.

This approach supports longer-lasting improvements and helps preserve the overall structure achieved through treatment.

If you choose not to continue, your skin will simply return to its pre-treatment condition without adverse effects such as overstretching. Clinical studies and experience suggest that even a single treatment may stimulate natural collagen production, leading to enhanced skin tone and texture.

As a result, the treated area may appear smoother and more refined than before.

You may experience some mild side effects following your Skin Boosting Treatment, which typically subside within a few days. Your practitioner will discuss these potential effects with you in detail and provide guidance on how to minimise them.

Swelling
Mild swelling can occur in the treated area and generally settles within 24 to 48 hours. After your treatment, we will advise you on simple steps to help reduce or prevent swelling as part of your aftercare.

Bruising
As with any treatment involving the skin, there is a small risk of bruising. These are often minor and can be easily concealed with mineral makeup. Certain medications and supplements can increase the likelihood of bruising, and these will be discussed with you prior to your appointment.

Tenderness
Some tenderness at the treatment site is normal and usually short-lived. It can often be managed with over-the-counter pain relief such as paracetamol. Additional recommendations may include applying a cold pack, avoiding vigorous exercise, and steering clear of spas or saunas for a short time post-treatment. Full aftercare instructions will be provided to ensure a comfortable recovery.

After your consultation, you’ll be offered a customised treatment plan. You might like to consider the options and then re-book an appointment for another visit, or you can begin the treatment on the same day (if time permits).

Once your Skin Boosting Treatment is complete, we will provide you with clear aftercare instructions to support your recovery and results. If you have any questions or concerns following your treatment, we encourage you to contact the clinic and speak with one of our qualified practitioners.

You are also welcome to schedule a review appointment approximately two weeks after your treatment.

This is one of the most frequently asked questions, as gel-based treatments are applied beneath the skin using a fine-tipped device. It’s completely normal for some individuals to feel a little uneasy, especially if they have a fear of needles or past experiences that made them hesitant.

At The Cosmetic Studio Noosa, your comfort is our priority. We offer a range of effective comfort measures, including topical ice packs, high-strength numbing creams, and calming distraction techniques to help you feel relaxed throughout your treatment.

Many of the products we use also contain a built-in anaesthetic, which enhances comfort during the procedure. And as a little extra care, we send all clients home with an icy pole as part of their aftercare. Every detail is designed to help minimise discomfort and support a positive treatment experience.

I don’t want to. You will still look like you, only a fresher and more youthful version. In most cases, we do not add anything that you didn’t already have. We aim to restore, replenish, enhance and rejuvenate your skin. We work by the adage ‘Less is More’. to look plastic or weird!

The Skinboosters gel-like filling ingredient is known to last from 6-9 months. However, as we have seen clinically and in various studies, the thickening of collagen fibres leaves the skin looking luxuriously supple and hydrated for much longer.

This depends on lifestyle, genetics, and age, which determine how fast your body naturally breaks down your collagen stores. Some clients with multiple or regular Skinbooster treatments eventually build up such good, vital collagen stores that they only need a top-up once every year or two.

The more you look after your skin, the more Skinboosters will look after you!

Its ability to draw moisture back into our skin is legendary. Those with dehydrated, crepey, dry or sun-damaged skins are instantly given a hydration boost after just one treatment.

The skin not only looks hydrated and supple it feels it too. Other cosmetic treatments or topical creams used to hydrate the skin are no match to Skinboosters powerful water drawing properties. Your skin will be glowing!

As we age, wrinkles and lines naturally form on our faces. This is because we start to break down the collagen fibres, which provide our skin with elasticity, vitality, and bounce. In fact, around our forties, we stop producing a percentage of collagen every year, so our skin loses its elasticity, allowing opportunistic lines and crinkles to start forming on our faces, necks, chests, and hands.

Our collagen fibres are crucial in maintaining the skin’s structure. Like a strong network of scaffolding, collagen fibres keep our skin firm and supple, holding everything together.

However, we can accelerate the destruction of our natural collagen by sunburn, smoking, and the overuse of alcohol and other drugs, which all play a role in the daily destruction of our natural collagen stores.

These lifestyle factors cause premature skin ageing, creating deep lines, losing elasticity, and giving the skin a sallow, dehydrated appearance.

Consequently, these clients get less benefit and longevity from collagen rejuvenation treatments until they cease these habits. The good news is that Skinboosters have been clinically proven to thicken our existing collagen fibres, making them stronger and more elastic.

This process is called ‘Collagen Stretching’ and takes 4-6 weeks to rebuild and strengthen our collagen matrix. As a result, the skin’s tone and texture are vastly improved, and the skin thickens where it was once fragile and hyper-ageing, returning to its former suppleness and bounce.

A Skin-booster is an excellent treatment, so it is used on very fine to medium lines and over areas of thin skin where subtle improvements and support are needed.

Skin-boosters are NOT thick volume lifting products; they cannot fill deep folds or lift sunken cheeks; we have other products for those jobs. But skin boosters can do just about anything else.

They can be used in multiple areas to rejuvenate and hydrate, giving your skin a natural-looking yet subtle youth and vitality.
