Skin Booster Hydro/Hydromax

Service Description

What are Stylage Hydro and HydroMax skin boosters? Stylage Hydro and HydroMax are injectable hyaluronic-acid products used to support skin hydration and improve the appearance of selected texture concerns. They are placed using a series of small injections and are intended for skin quality rather than the structural volume or contour associated with conventional dermal filler. What may they help with? Following assessment, treatment may be considered for dry or dull-looking skin, fine surface lines and reduced elasticity on suitable areas such as the face, neck, décolletage or hands. It cannot permanently hydrate the skin, stop ageing or guarantee a visible glow. How does treatment work? Small amounts of the selected product are placed within or just below the skin according to the planned technique. Hyaluronic acid binds water, producing a temporary hydrating and skin-conditioning effect. The exact product, ingredients and whether any combined Double Boost approach is appropriate will be explained before treatment. Suitability A consultation is required to review anatomy, skin condition, medicines, allergies, previous injectables, pregnancy or breastfeeding, active infection, immune conditions and any past complication. Combined mesotherapy or biostimulating products require their own suitability assessment and consent rather than being assumed to improve results. Treatment and recovery The area is cleansed and an agreed anaesthetic may be used. Temporary bumps at injection points, redness, swelling, tenderness, bruising, itching and asymmetry can occur. These may remain visible for several days. Normal activity may be possible quickly, but downtime varies. Risks and limitations Risks include infection, persistent lumps or nodules, inflammatory or allergic reactions, unevenness, pigment change, product visibility, migration and an unsatisfactory result. Accidental injection into or compression of a blood vessel can cause vascular occlusion, skin injury and, very rarely, visual loss or another serious complication. A universal 2–3-treatment course or duration of benefit cannot be guaranteed. Aftercare and urgent symptoms Follow the written aftercare and avoid pressing or massaging unless instructed. Severe or increasing pain, blanching, mottled or unusual skin colour, cool skin, visual disturbance or neurological symptoms require urgent assessment. Breathing difficulty or a severe allergic reaction requires emergency help.
