Skinboosters and Profhilo in Medellín: Deep Hydration for Your Skin

Skinboosters are hyaluronic acid micro-injections that hydrate the skin from within, without adding volume or changing your features. They improve the radiance, texture and firmness of dehydrated or dull skin, or skin with fine lines. At our office we use Profhilo®, NCTF® and other skinboosters depending on your skin.

Dr. Olga Gómez Montoya, physician and surgeon from the University of Antioquia, chooses the product and number of sessions so you look fresh and rested, with natural, progressive results.

What it is

What is a skinbooster and how does it work?

With age, sun and hormonal changes, the skin loses hyaluronic acid and water. It looks duller, feels tight and fine lines appear.

A skinbooster restores hyaluronic acid to the dermis through micro-injections. Unlike a filler, it doesn't stay in one spot or add volume: it spreads through the skin, attracts water and stimulates fibroblasts. The result is skin that is more hydrated, radiant and elastic.

What is it for?

  • Dehydrated or dry skin, even if you use creams.
  • Dull or tired-looking skin.
  • Fine lines and uneven texture.
  • Mild loss of firmness, especially during menopause.
  • Neck, décolletage and hands.

Are skinboosters right for me?

It's for you if…

  • Your skin feels dry, tight or dull.
  • You want to improve your skin quality without changing your features.
  • You're looking for a treatment with little downtime.

It's not the best option if…

  • You're looking for volume or contour definition: other treatments work for that.
  • You are pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • You have an infection or active lesions in the area.

My approach

Hydrating the skin, not inflating the face

A well-indicated skinbooster doesn't show: what shows is skin that looks better. That's why we choose the product based on what your skin needs, not the other way around.

We often combine it with other treatments, such as collagen biostimulators for firmness, microneedling for texture or a peel for tone, in a step-by-step plan.

After the skinbooster

  • No makeup for the first 12 to 24 hours.
  • Avoid intense exercise, saunas and direct sun for 24 hours.
  • Don't massage the small bumps: they go away on their own.
  • Daily sunscreen and hydration at home.

“Hydrated skin doesn't look filled: it looks rested.” — Dr. Olga Gómez Montoya

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about skinboosters, Profhilo and NCTF

What is a skinbooster?

It's a treatment with micro-injections of hyaluronic acid, sometimes with other actives, that hydrates the skin from within. It doesn't add volume or change your features: it improves the skin's hydration, radiance, texture and elasticity.

What is Profhilo?

Profhilo® is a skinbooster from IBSA laboratories with a high concentration of hyaluronic acid: 32 mg of high molecular weight and 32 mg of low molecular weight, stabilized without chemical crosslinking agents. It is applied at 5 points on each side of the face and is usually indicated in 2 sessions.

Is Profhilo a filler?

No. Profhilo spreads through the skin instead of staying in one spot, so it doesn't add volume or change your features. Its goal is to improve the skin's hydration, firmness and quality.

What is NCTF?

NCTF® 135 HA is a skinbooster from Fillmed (Filorga) laboratories that combines non-crosslinked hyaluronic acid with a complex of 59 components: vitamins, minerals, amino acids, coenzymes and nucleic acids. It's used to bring radiance and hydration to dull or tired skin, or skin with fine lines.

What is non-crosslinked hyaluronic acid?

It's hyaluronic acid that hasn't been chemically bonded to make it firmer. That's why it spreads through the skin and hydrates it, instead of adding volume like a filler. You'll find it, for example, in NCTF®.

Profhilo or NCTF: which is better?

They do different things. Profhilo® works more on the firmness and quality of skin that has lost support; NCTF® works on the radiance and vitality of dull skin. Sometimes they are combined. The choice is made during the assessment, based on your skin.

Do skinboosters work for dehydrated skin?

Yes, it's one of their main indications. When your skin feels tight or looks dull even though you use creams, a skinbooster provides hydration in the layers creams can't reach. Your home routine is still important.

How many sessions do I need and when will I see results?

It depends on the product. With Profhilo® it's usually 2 sessions; with NCTF® and other skinboosters, between 2 and 4. The skin looks more hydrated within a few weeks, and the improvement in quality builds up over the sessions.

Does it hurt? Is there downtime?

It feels like small pinpricks. Afterwards there may be small bumps or a bruise for 1 or 2 days, which can be covered with makeup the next day. You return to your routine the same day.

How much do skinboosters or Profhilo cost in Medellín?

It depends on the product, the area and the number of sessions your skin needs. During the assessment in El Poblado we clearly explain the plan and its investment. Message us ASSESSMENT.
