Cheeks: Injecting skin boosters into the cheeks helps improve overall skin texture and restore hydration to the mid-face. This can result in a more radiant and hydrated appearance.
Chin: For those looking to improve skin quality in the chin area, skin boosters help restore hydration and smoothness, addressing the often-thin or textured skin in this region.
Lips: Skin boosters can be used around the lips to improve hydration and smooth fine lines, providing subtle volume and a more youthful, refreshed appearance. They can also help with lip contouring, improving the overall look of the lips.
Neck
Neck Lines: Skin boosters can be used to improve the appearance of horizontal neck lines or bands. By boosting hydration and collagen production, the skin appears firmer and smoother.
