Skinbooster: what is it?
Fine injections of non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid, which spreads through the skin and rehydrates it without filling. Unlike filler, it does not restore volume or redraw a contour: it acts on hydration, suppleness and radiance, on the face, neck, décolleté or backs of the hands. "Skin booster" and "skinbooster" are the same treatment.
Mesotherapy for face and scalp
A tailor-made mix of vitamins, minerals, trace elements and hyaluronic acid, injected at shallow depth. On the face, it aims at radiance and hydration; on the scalp, it can support the management of hair loss, sometimes with PRP, after an assessment.
Polynucleotides
Micro-injections used to improve skin quality, alone or as a complement to a skinbooster or a laser. The indication is set at the consultation, according to the state of the skin and your expectations.
Skinbooster, filler, PRP, Botox: how to choose?
Skinbooster and mesotherapy improve skin quality; filler treats volumes and contours; PRP, prepared from your own blood, stimulates the skin or scalp; Botox softens expression lines. These techniques complement each other: the goal and the order of treatments are set at the consultation.
A treatment suited to Marrakech's climate
Sun, heat, dry air and wind tire the skin: dehydration, dull complexion, uneven grain. Skinbooster acts on deep hydration; it is readily planned in autumn or early winter, with rigorous sun protection afterwards. It suits olive and pigmented skin, including to prepare for a laser treatment, because it is injected into the skin and adapts to all skin types.
Course, sessions and aftercare
A protocol generally comprises a series of sessions three to four weeks apart, then maintenance according to the skin. The effect appears gradually, over about a month. Small papules, redness or bruising may appear for a few hours to a few days, with limited downtime. Sun protection is recommended.
Precautions and contraindications
The treatment is postponed or not advised in case of infection or active herpes in the area, pregnancy or breastfeeding, known allergy to a component, active autoimmune disease or anticoagulant treatment (risk of bruising). The situation is checked before each session.
Where to have a skin booster in Marrakech?
At the Skin & Aesthetic Clinic, in Guéliz, with Dr Sara Zahid, dermatologist, by appointment, in French, English or Arabic. A consultation comes before the treatment; a detailed quote is given before any procedure, with no single displayed price.
Mesolift, mesotherapy, skinbooster: the vocabulary
The three terms overlap and cause confusion. Mesolift generally means facial mesotherapy, that is small injections of a mixture of vitamins, minerals and hyaluronic acid; skinbooster means injections of non-crosslinked hyaluronic acid alone, which hydrates deeply; polynucleotides are another product, used for skin quality. These names describe neighbouring treatments: what matters is the product chosen and the goal defined in consultation, not the label.
Skinbooster before or after a laser, Botox, filler?
It combines well with other treatments, in an order that depends on the goal. Before a laser it can prepare dehydrated skin; after a laser or Dermapen, the skin recovers better if a delay specified in consultation is respected. With Botox and filler, sessions are generally spaced a few days to a few weeks apart, to judge each result.
