Product Information

What is Viscoderm® Hydrobooster?

Viscoderm® Hydrobooster is a sterile, injectable skin booster gel composed of stabilized hyaluronic acid (HA), manufactured by IBSA Farmaceutici. It is specifically engineered with distinct rheological characteristics (low gel stiffness and viscosity, high deformability) tailored for treating dynamic areas of the face, such as the perioral, periocular, and forehead regions.

The product contains 25mg/mL of lightly cross-linked hyaluronic acid (utilizing NAHYCO® Hybrid Technology principles or similar IBSA stabilization). This allows it to persist longer in the tissue than non-cross-linked HA, providing prolonged biorestructuring activity and hydration. Viscoderm® Hydrobooster is designed to offer a dual function: deep hydration and a unique “hydrostretch” action, which aims to stretch and smooth the most superficial wrinkles in a precise and natural manner.

Storage: Store according to manufacturer guidelines, typically between 2°C and 25°C (36°F and 77°F). Do not freeze. Protect from light.

Authenticity: Health Supplies Plus guarantees that all Viscoderm® products sourced are authentic from the manufacturer or authorized distributors.

Note: For professional use only by trained and licensed practitioners.

How does Viscoderm® Hydrobooster work? (Based on Manufacturer Information)

Viscoderm® Hydrobooster delivers its unique effects through the properties of its stabilized hyaluronic acid when injected into the superficial to mid-dermis:

1. Deep Hydration: The HA molecules attract and retain water, providing significant and lasting hydration to the dermal layers. This improves skin turgor, suppleness, and radiance.
2. Tissue Restructuring & Hydrostretch Action: The specific rheology of the lightly cross-linked HA allows it to integrate optimally into the dermis and exert a gentle, mechanical stretching effect on superficial wrinkles, particularly in dynamic areas. This “hydrostretch” action helps to smooth fine lines and improve skin texture without restricting natural facial movement. The HA also supports the extracellular matrix, contributing to improved skin elasticity and firmness over time.

The low gel stiffness and viscosity ensure smooth extrusion and even distribution, allowing for treatment in various dermal layers, including very superficial placement for fine lines.

Indications for Use & Treatment Areas (Common Applications)

Based on manufacturer information and common clinical use internationally, Viscoderm® Hydrobooster is typically indicated for adults seeking improvement in skin quality and reduction of superficial dynamic wrinkles:

• Correction of fine superficial lines and wrinkles in dynamic areas:
  • Perioral lines (fine vertical lip lines)
  • Periocular lines (crow’s feet, fine lines under eyes)
  • Superficial forehead lines
• Improving skin hydration, elasticity, and radiance.
• Enhancing overall skin texture and smoothness.

A typical treatment protocol often involves two sessions spaced approximately 2 months apart, though this may vary. Practitioners must consult the product IFU for detailed indications and contraindications relevant to their region.

Primary Benefits & Key Features (Based on Manufacturer Claims)

• Offers a dual function: deep hydration and tissue restructuring for a “hydrostretch” effect.
• Specifically designed to treat fine lines and superficial wrinkles in dynamic facial areas.
• Contains 25mg/mL of stabilized (lightly cross-linked) Hyaluronic Acid.
• Improves skin elasticity, radiance, and smoothness.
• Low gel stiffness and viscosity allow for optimal tissue integration and superficial placement.
• Biorestructuring activity is prolonged over time.
• Results claimed to last up to 5 months or more after the initial treatment course.

Side Effects and Safety Information

Practitioners must obtain and consult the complete product information provided by the manufacturer for comprehensive details on administration, contraindications, warnings, precautions, and potential adverse events before using this product. Discussing all potential risks and side effects with patients is essential. Proper superficial injection technique is critical for safety and to achieve the desired “hydrostretch” effect without creating irregularities.

Common side effects associated with skin booster injections like Viscoderm® Hydrobooster are typically mild, temporary, and related to the injection sites:

• Small papules or bumps at injection sites (can be characteristic of skin booster treatments and usually resolve)
• Bruising
• Redness
• Mild swelling
• Tenderness or itching at injection points

Severe Adverse Events:
While serious complications are rare with proper technique for superficial HA products, potential risks exist. Practitioners must be prepared to manage adverse events. Potential severe adverse events include:

• Vascular Occlusion (VO): Although the risk is lower with superficial injection of low-viscosity HA compared to deep fillers, accidental intravascular injection is still theoretically possible, particularly in high-risk areas. Careful technique is paramount.
• Severe allergic reactions or hypersensitivity to HA
• Inflammation or infection at injection sites
• Persistent nodules or granuloma formation (rare with this type of product)
• Skin discoloration (Tyndall effect if injected too superficially or too much volume used in thin skin)
• Herpetic eruptions (cold sores) in susceptible individuals

Any signs of vascular compromise, infection, hypersensitivity, or persistent adverse reactions require immediate medical evaluation.
