Skin boosters are injectable treatments that deliver high concentrations of hyaluronic acid beneath the skin’s surface. Unlike dermal fillers that add volume to specific areas, skin boosters work by deeply hydrating the skin while stimulating your body’s production of collagen and elastin. The result is improved skin quality, texture, and firmness rather than added fullness.
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in your body that can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water. From around age 25, we lose approximately 1% of our natural hyaluronic acid each year, leading to dullness, fine lines, and loss of elasticity. Skin boosters replenish these depleted reserves, restoring hydration at a cellular level.
We offer Profhilo, which contains one of the highest concentrations of stabilised hyaluronic acid available. Known as a bio-remodeller, Profhilo spreads beneath the skin after injection, creating an even hydration effect without lumps or nodules. Over the following weeks, it stimulates new collagen and elastin production, effectively remodelling the skin for a firmer, smoother, more radiant appearance.
Treatment involves a series of small injections at specific points, typically taking around 10 to 15 minutes. Most patients require two sessions spaced four weeks apart for optimal results, with improvements visible around four weeks after the second treatment. Results typically last six to twelve months, after which maintenance treatments can sustain your refreshed appearance. Skin boosters can be used on the face, neck, décolletage, and hands.
We use Profhilo, a market-leading skin booster made from 100% pure hyaluronic acid using patented technology. Its unique formulation allows it to spread evenly beneath the skin, providing consistent hydration and stimulation across the treatment area without the risk of lumps or unevenness.
Skin boosters enhance your natural skin rather than changing your appearance. The results are subtle yet noticeable, with patients often being told they look refreshed, well-rested, or glowing. This makes skin boosters ideal for those who want to improve their skin quality without obvious intervention.
Skin boosters work beautifully as a standalone treatment or combined with other aesthetic procedures. They can enhance the results of anti-wrinkle injections and complement dermal fillers by improving overall skin quality. They're also excellent preparation before special events when you want your skin to look its best.
Dermal fillers add volume to specific areas to smooth lines or enhance features like lips and cheeks. Skin boosters improve overall skin quality by hydrating from within and stimulating collagen production. They don’t add volume or change your facial structure. Think of fillers as sculpting tools and skin boosters as skin conditioners that create a healthy, radiant base.
For optimal results, we recommend two treatment sessions spaced four weeks apart. Some patients with more advanced skin concerns may benefit from an additional session. After completing the initial course, maintenance treatments every six to twelve months help sustain your results.
You may notice improved hydration within the first week after treatment. However, the full bio-remodelling effects develop over several weeks as collagen and elastin production increases. Optimal results are typically visible around four weeks after your second treatment, with skin appearing firmer, smoother, and more luminous.
Most patients find skin booster injections very tolerable. The needles used are extremely fine, and the treatment is quick, typically taking only 10 to 15 minutes. You may feel a slight pinch at each injection point. If you’re concerned about discomfort, topical numbing cream can be applied beforehand.
Downtime is minimal. You may notice small bumps at the injection sites immediately after treatment, but these typically settle within a few hours. Some patients experience mild redness, tenderness, or occasional bruising, which usually resolves within 24 to 48 hours. Most people return to normal activities immediately.
