Skin boosters are a highly effective treatment designed to deeply hydrate the skin, improve texture, and restore a natural glow. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, skin boosters do not add volume—instead, they deliver microinjections of hyaluronic acid or other nourishing ingredients directly into the skin to enhance hydration, elasticity, and luminosity from within.
Ideal for treating dull, dehydrated, or crepey skin, skin boosters are commonly used on the face, neck, décolletage, and hands, and are also suitable for areas like the under-eyes and acne-scarred skin. Results include smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin, with minimal downtime and natural-looking improvement.
For best results, we usually recommend a course of 2–3 treatments spaced 3–4 weeks apart, followed by maintenance every 6 months.

Skin boosters work gradually by improving skin hydration, elasticity, and overall texture.
Within 1–2 weeks, skin often looks more hydrated and plump, but the deeper collagen stimulation is still happening beneath the surface.
At 4 weeks, most people start to see noticeable improvements in smoothness, glow, and elasticity.
After the full course (often 2–3 sessions a few weeks apart), the best results usually appear, with improvements continuing for several months as collagen and elastin production increases.
The results of skin boosters can typically last approximately 6-9 months.
Skin booster injections are generally well tolerated. A topical numbing cream is applied beforehand in order to make the prcoedure more comfortable so any discomfort is minimal and temporary.
The procedure itself takes no more than 15-30 minutes. However a thorough medical consultation is required prior to this to ensure this is the right treatment for you and each appt is 30 minutes in length to ensure you do not feel rushed in any way.
