What is Restylane Skinboosters Vital?
Restylane Skinboosters Vital Lidocaine is Galderma’s stabilised hyaluronic acid skin-quality injectable, manufactured by Q-Med in Uppsala, Sweden. Each 1 mL glass syringe contains 20 mg/mL of non-animal stabilised HA (NASHA®) with 0.3% lidocaine, and is fitted with Galderma’s SmartClick dose guide, which meters roughly 100 tiny, even microdeposits per syringe. Thin-wall 29G needles are provided.
How does Vital compare with SKINVIVE and non-cross-linked boosters?
Vital is the higher-concentration, firmer member of the skin-booster category: 20 mg/mL of stabilised HA versus 12 mg/mL in SKINVIVE, which is why Galderma positions it for skin structure and elasticity as well as hydration. Against non-cross-linked products such as Hyaron, its NASHA stabilisation gives longer persistence in the dermis. Galderma also offers a lighter “Vital Light” for thinner skin.

Frequently asked questions

What is the SmartClick system?
A built-in dose guide on the syringe that meters roughly 100 small, even deposits per 1 mL, helping standardise microdroplet delivery across the treated area.
What is Galderma’s suggested protocol?
Three treatments four weeks apart, then maintenance around every six months, within 5 mL per session and 20 mL per year. The treating clinician decides the actual plan.
