Skin Boosters

Skin boosters are an injectable treatment that deliver deep skin hydration and have a ‘bio-remodelling effect’ which helps to improve skin texture, elasticity, hydration and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Skin boosters are hyaluronic acid based which is a naturally occurring substance in the body. The solution is injected into different parts of the face and the lightweight hyaluronic acid in the product then draws in water and moisture to hydrate and rejuvenate the face. This process also helps to encourage collagen prediction, overall resulting in a natural glow and radiance.

The brands of skin boosters I use are listed below.

How many treatments will I need?

Profhilo – two treatments, four weeks apart.

Seventy Hyal 2000 – two-three treatments, four weeks apart.

Lumi-Pro – 3x treatments, each 4 weeks apart.

Then it’s one top up treatment every six months thereafter.

When will I see the results and how long do they last?

The best results are visible from around four weeks after the second treatment where your skin will appear more hydrated, healthy, smoother and youthful. The results continue to take effect thereafter as your skin continues to gradually produce collagen and elastin.

Results last up to 6 months however this will vary from person to person. You can continually ‘top up’ every 3-6 months to maintain the full results.

Are skin boosters the same as filler?

Skin boosters are a softer, less dense formula designed to deeply hydrate the skin and add volume all over. Dermal fillers are injected deeper into the skin to sculpt the face, add more concentrated volume in certain areas and to fill deeper lines.

What’s the difference between skin boosters and polynucleotides?

Polynucleotide treatments use nucleotides to facilitate cellular repair and renewal while skin boosters are primarily composed of hyaluronic acid.

Polynucleotides offer a regenerative approach, inducing long-term skin improvements and structural healing from within. Meanwhile, skin boosters provide immediate hydration and enhance skin texture for a natural glow.

Polynucleotides and skin boosters work well together and can both be used for optimal skin revitalisation.
