Skin Boosters
Is your skin looking lacklustre no matter how much moisturiser you apply or how much water you drink? Still can’t achieve that dewy fresh smooth look no matter what skincare you use? Skin boosters may be your answer.
What Are Skin Boosters?
Skin boosters are made from a soft form of hyaluronic acid (HA), a molecule naturally found in the skin that holds up to 1000 times its weight in water. Over time, factors such as age, sun exposure, and environmental stress can reduce HA levels, leading to dryness and uneven texture.
By replenishing this hydration beneath the skin’s surface, skin boosters help restore moisture and elasticity while also encouraging collagen and elastin production for smoother, firmer skin. This makes them a popular option for collagen banking and bioremodelling modern approaches to maintaining skin health before visible ageing appears.
How the Treatment Works
Using fine micro-injections, a qualified nurse places small amounts of hyaluronic acid just beneath the skin. This creates a subtle plumping effect and delivers hydration where topical skincare cannot reach.
Each treatment typically takes about 30 minutes and involves minimal discomfort thanks to the use of numbing cream and gentle techniques.
The process not only rehydrates the skin but also helps stimulate new collagen and elastin, improving firmness and overall skin tone. You can expect smoother, more radiant skin to develop gradually in the weeks following treatment.
Areas That Can Be Treated
Skin boosters are incredibly versatile and suitable for both face and body areas, including:
- Face (cheeks, jawline, forehead)
- Neck and décolletage
- Hands
- Upper arms
The result is a visibly hydrated, more luminous complexion almost like placing your moisturiser under your skin instead of on top.
Benefits of Skin Boosters
Skin boosters can:
- Restore deep hydration and softness
- Enhance luminosity and overall skin tone
- Improve fine lines and texture irregularities
- Support collagen banking for long-term skin health
Complement treatments like RF Skin Tightening and LED Phototherapy
Our Process
- Consultation – Your clinician assesses your skin and discusses your concerns to ensure suitability.
- Preparation – The treatment area is cleaned, and a topical numbing agent is applied.
- Treatment – A fine HA solution is injected just beneath the skin using a micro-needle technique.
- Aftercare Guidance – You’ll receive aftercare recommendations to support healing and maximise results.
Treatments are typically performed as a series, spaced several weeks apart, with maintenance sessions every 6–12 months for best outcomes.
Aftercare Tips
After your treatment:
- Avoid touching the area for 24 hours
- Skip makeup and intense exercise for 24–48 hours
- Use a gentle cleanser and SPF
- Stay hydrated to support the hyaluronic acid
- Mild redness or swelling may occur but usually subsides quickly
