What are Skin Boosters?
Skin boosters are injectable treatments designed to improve hydration and skin quality by delivering hyaluronic acid (HA) beneath the skin surface. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps retain moisture and support skin elasticity.
Unlike traditional dermal fillers, which add structure or volume, skin boosters are injected more superficially to help improve overall skin texture, hydration, and smoothness.
What areas can be treated?
Skin boosters may be considered for:
- Face
- Neck
- Décolletage
- Hands
These are areas commonly affected by dryness, fine lines, and sun exposure.
What to Expect
- A typical course involves 3 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart, followed by maintenance sessions every 6–12 months.
- Side effects may include redness, swelling, bruising, or tenderness at injection sites.
- Most people return to normal activities the same day.
- Results vary depending on age, skin type, and individual response.
Combination Treatments
Skin boosters can be used alone or alongside other treatments such as dermal fillers, laser therapies, or skin procedures. Your practitioner will recommend an individualised plan based on your skin goals and medical suitability.
Suitability
Skin boosters may be an option for people with dry, dull, or ageing skin. A consultation is required to confirm suitability, as they may not be appropriate for individuals with certain medical conditions, allergies, or during pregnancy/breastfeeding.
