Skin Boosters · Questions · Pacific Plaza
These skin booster questions are the ones patients ask around their first injection, answered briefly with a link to the page that goes deeper. Dr Sin Yong, Medical Director of Atelier Aesthetics, chooses a booster by what the skin lacks rather than by brand, so most answers begin with which class you had.
Repeat Timing
There is no single schedule, because each class works on its own timetable. Most plans have two phases: a starting course, then maintenance at wider intervals.
Maintenance is timed by how well your skin holds the result, which age, sun and smoking all affect; intervals lengthen when it holds well.
Results
Hyaluronic acid can give an early look of hydration within days. With Profhilo, the change in firmness and bounce builds over four to eight weeks after the course. Polynucleotides and PDLLA work more gradually, so they are judged later, at the follow-up visit rather than in the mirror the next morning.
The evidence is encouraging but still developing, and response varies, so Atelier promises no fixed result.
Side Effects
Expected: small raised points where product sits, redness, swelling, tenderness and the occasional bruise. Polynucleotides leave more noticeable bumps at first than hyaluronic acid; Profhilo leaves one bump at each point. Both settle on their own; Profhilo downtime and Rejuran downtime show how.
Less common: a lump that persists, a bluish tint where hyaluronic acid sits too near the surface, a cold sore flare, infection or an allergic reaction. Rare: a delayed inflammatory swelling weeks later, and product affecting a blood vessel. Skin that turns white or dusky, or pain that keeps rising, needs the clinic at once.
At Atelier
Dr SY examines your skin under good light, pinches it to judge thickness and recoil, and checks for volume loss or descent that no booster will change. He asks about earlier injectables, allergies to hyaluronic acid, lidocaine or fish, and your medicines. You then hear which class suits, a sequence of classes, or no booster at all.
Wait with a cold sore, acne flare, eczema or infection at the injection sites, and during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Autoimmune disease, a keloid tendency and blood thinners call for caution rather than refusal.
