Mechanism and formulation details
The Truth Treatments Retinol Booster uses high-potency, liposome-delivered retinol to encourage faster cell turnover and support collagen production. The liposome delivery system is intended to improve penetration of active retinol while helping temper surface irritation, which lets the formula focus on smoothing fine lines, improving texture, brightening dull skin, and addressing breakouts without unnecessarily stressing the skin.
As an add-on product rather than a standalone procedure, the booster is applied by a clinician to amplify an existing facial or treatment. Because it targets cellular processes, outcomes develop over time; this add-on accelerates changes you would otherwise expect from regular topical retinoid use, but individual responses and tolerances will vary.
What to expect at your appointment
Retinol Booster ADD-ON ONLY is designed for quick integration into a treatment—Duration: 5 minutes—so it typically fits into an existing appointment window. A trained provider will apply the booster after cleansing and possibly after other treatment steps, then follow with recommended soothing or protective products as appropriate for your skin that day.
You may feel minimal tingling or warmth at the application site; the liposome delivery aims to reduce overt irritation. Because it’s a concentrated, high-potency formulation, your clinician will evaluate your skin and recent product use to decide if the booster is appropriate during that visit.
Aftercare and local scheduling notes
Aftercare focuses on protection and gentle support: avoid excessive sun exposure, wear daily broad-spectrum protection, and use gentle cleansing and hydrating products as advised by your provider. Fall and winter are our busiest months for high-potency retinol treatments because lower UV levels reduce the risk of post-treatment sun sensitivity, so booking ahead is recommended.
We offer early-morning, lunchtime, and evening appointment blocks to fit commuters and weekend visitors around downtown activities and transit connections like US-101 and the SMART rail. Price: $25 and Duration: 5 minutes; your clinician can recommend how often to repeat the booster based on skin response and goals.
