ANESTHESIA
What does Skin Quality mean?
Skin quality reflects the balance between hydration, texture, elasticity, firmness, and radiance.
Over time, these parameters change differently in each person. Therefore, improving skin quality doesn't just mean treating one sign, but understanding what the skin has lost, what it needs, and which mechanisms should be stimulated.
Treatment is determined based on this comprehensive assessment, selecting different approaches according to each individual's skin needs.
What do we evaluate in skin quality?
Hidratação
Capacidade da pele para manter níveis adequados de água, conforto e flexibilidade.
Textura
Regularidade da superfície cutânea, incluindo suavidade, poros, linhas finas e pequenas irregularidades.
Firmeza & Elasticidade
Capacidade dos tecidos para manter suporte, resistência e recuperar a sua forma.
Brightness & Uniformity
The way the skin reflects light and presents a visually even, fresh, and healthy appearance.
Different mechanisms.
A common goal.
There is no single treatment to improve skin quality.
Some approaches focus primarily on hydration, others stimulate collagen and regeneration, while others seek to improve texture, firmness, or luminosity.
The choice depends on the skin characteristics, the clinical indication, and the goals defined for each patient.
Collagen biostimulators
Stimulate collagen.
To improve firmness and structure.
What are they?
Collagen biostimulators are injectable substances capable of stimulating fibroblasts to produce new collagen.
Unlike fillers, their main purpose is not to increase volume, but to promote a gradual biological response that improves the support, firmness, and quality of the tissues.
There are different biostimulators, each with its own composition and characteristics, allowing the treatment to be adapted to the area, the degree of sagging, and the goals of each patient.
How do they work?
After application, the product triggers a controlled response in the tissues that progressively stimulates fibroblast activity and the formation of new collagen.
Estimulam os fibroblastos
They activate the cells responsible for collagen production in the dermis.
Reforçam a estrutura da pele
The new collagen helps to improve the support and density of tissues.
They progressively improve firmness.
The response develops over time, following the natural process of collagen formation and reorganization.
Main options
Collagen biostimulators include different products, each with specific characteristics and indications. At The Velvet Touch Clinic, we exclusively select internationally renowned brands that are certified and supported by scientific evidence. Although they act through different mechanisms, they all share a common goal: to stimulate the natural production of collagen, improve skin firmness, and promote progressive and natural rejuvenation.
Sculptra® is a biostimulator based on poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), used to stimulate the natural production of collagen. It is indicated to improve sagging, restore skin firmness and gradually restore tissue support, providing progressive and lasting rejuvenation.
Radiesse® is composed of calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA), a biocompatible biomaterial that provides an initial lifting effect and stimulates the formation of new collagen. It can be used on the face, neck, décolleté, and hands to improve firmness, redefine contours, and enhance skin quality.
Lanluma® is also formulated with poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) and was developed primarily for body treatments. It is frequently used to improve skin firmness and stimulate collagen production in areas such as the buttocks, thighs, and other regions with volume loss or sagging.
HarmonyCa® combines calcium hydroxyapatite with hyaluronic acid, providing an immediate support effect thanks to the hyaluronic acid, while progressively stimulating the natural production of collagen. It is indicated for patients seeking to redefine facial contours and simultaneously improve skin firmness.
Ellansé® is a biostimulator composed of polycaprolactone (PCL), a biocompatible material that stimulates the gradual formation of collagen. In addition to the initial volumizing effect, it promotes a progressive improvement in skin firmness and quality, with long-lasting results.
When are they recommended?
Flacidez facial
Perda de elasticidade
Perda de firmeza
Contorno facial menos definido
Neck and décolletage
Body flaccidity
What can we expect from the results?
Unlike facial fillers, biostimulators are not intended to create immediate volume. Their main benefit is to stimulate the production of new collagen, allowing for a progressive improvement in firmness, skin quality, and tissue support.
The first results usually begin to become visible in the weeks following treatment and continue to develop as collagen is produced. Depending on the product used, the area treated, and the individual characteristics of each patient, several sessions may be recommended to achieve the desired result.
The ultimate goal is natural, progressive, and lasting rejuvenation, preserving the unique characteristics of each face.
SKINBOOSTERS
Deep hydration. Visible skin quality.
What are they?
Skinboosters are injectable treatments designed to act on the skin's own structure, improving its hydration and quality without producing the volumizing effect typical of fillers.
They are applied to multiple points in the dermis, where they distribute small amounts of substances — often based on hyaluronic acid with specific characteristics for skin hydration — that help increase water retention and improve the dermal environment.
In practice, the goal is not to alter the shape of the face, but to treat skin characteristics such as dehydration, loss of elasticity, uneven texture, fine lines, and lack of radiance, making it progressively more even, supple, and healthy.
How do they work?
Skinboosters are administered into the dermis through microinjections, allowing them to act directly on skin quality.
Depending on the formulation used, they can combine hyaluronic acid and other components selected according to skin needs.
Hidratam em profundidade
Ajudam a aumentar e manter a hidratação da pele, melhorando o conforto e a suavidade cutânea.
Melhoram a textura
Contribuem para uma pele mais uniforme, macia e com uma aparência mais cuidada.
They restore luminosity.
They promote a fresher, brighter, and more revitalized appearance.
When are they recommended?
Pele desidratada
Perda de elasticidade

SKINBOOSTERS
What can we expect from the results?
Results appear gradually in the weeks following treatment, as the skin regains hydration and improves in quality. The protocol may include several sessions, depending on the product used and the needs of each patient.
The goal is not to alter facial features, but to provide more hydrated, luminous, even-toned skin with a naturally rejuvenated appearance.
Main options
Currently, there are several skinbooster options available, developed to meet the different needs of the skin. At The Velvet Touch Clinic, we exclusively select internationally renowned brands, certified and supported by scientific evidence. Most of these treatments are formulated with low-crosslinked hyaluronic acid and may also include vitamins, amino acids, antioxidants, and other bioactive ingredients that contribute to improving hydration, luminosity, and overall skin quality.

PRP & PRF
Regeneration that begins within.
We use components of the body's own blood to stimulate natural renewal mechanisms and progressively improve skin quality.
What are they?
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and i-PRF (Injectable Platelet-Rich Fibrin) are regenerative medicine treatments obtained exclusively from the patient's own blood.
After a small sample is taken, the blood is processed to concentrate platelets, fibrin, and growth factors naturally present in the body, which play an important role in tissue repair and regeneration processes.
Because they use autologous components, these treatments draw on the body's own biological resources to stimulate regeneration.
How do they work?
Platelets release bioactive proteins, known as growth factors, which are involved in various tissue repair processes.
After application, these mediators help stimulate fibroblast activity, promote collagen and elastin production, and support natural cell renewal mechanisms.
This is a progressive biological response that develops over the weeks following treatment.
PRP
Libertação mais rápida de fatores de crescimento.
O PRP apresenta uma elevada concentração de plaquetas e permite disponibilizar fatores de crescimento de forma mais imediata, sendo utilizado em diferentes protocolos de regeneração e melhoria da qualidade dos tecidos.
i-PRF
A more gradual and prolonged liberation.
i-PRF forms a fibrin network that allows for a more progressive release of growth factors, prolonging the regenerative stimulus over time.
The choice between PRP and i-PRF depends on the clinical indication, the area to be treated, and the goals defined for each patient.
When will the results start to appear?
Results appear gradually, as they depend on the biological response and natural tissue regeneration mechanisms.
Some people may initially notice an improvement in skin radiance and quality, while the effects related to collagen production and regeneration tend to become more evident over the following weeks.
Depending on the clinical indication and treatment goals, a protocol consisting of several sessions may be recommended.

The treatment plan is tailored to each patient's specific needs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Although both aim to improve skin quality, they work in different ways. Biostimulators primarily stimulate the natural production of collagen, helping to improve firmness and tissue support. Skinboosters focus on deep skin hydration and improving its texture, luminosity, and elasticity.
There is no universal treatment. The choice depends on factors such as age, skin quality, degree of sagging, lifestyle, and the goals of each patient. During the consultation, an individual assessment is carried out to define the most appropriate protocol.
Yes. In many cases, combining different treatments allows us to address several aspects of skin aging simultaneously. The treatment plan is always personalized and defined according to each patient's needs.
The number of sessions varies depending on the chosen treatment, the area treated, and the initial condition of the skin. Some protocols include only one session, while others may benefit from a phased plan to optimize results.
It depends on the treatment performed. Some procedures provide an initial improvement in hydration and luminosity a few days after application, while regenerative treatments, such as biostimulators or PRP, require several weeks to stimulate the production of new collagen. Results tend to evolve progressively.
The duration varies depending on the treatment, each patient's metabolism, daily care, and factors such as sun exposure, smoking, and natural aging. In many cases, maintenance sessions are recommended to preserve the results over time.
Most Skin Quality treatments allow you to resume your usual activities on the same day. It is normal to experience slight redness, sensitivity, or minor bruising at the application sites, which tend to disappear spontaneously in the following days.
There is no specific age. Treatment is indicated whenever there are signs of dehydration, loss of radiance, changes in texture, or decreased firmness of the skin. In many cases, it can also be used as a preventative approach to help preserve skin quality over the years.
No. Skin Quality treatments aim to improve the biological quality of the skin, while facial fillers are used to restore volume, redefine contours, or correct certain depressions. In many cases, both can be combined in a complementary way to achieve a more harmonious and natural result.
