Skin Booster Treatment - Face
Skin boosters are injectable skin-quality treatments designed to improve hydration, radiance, elasticity, fine lines, crepey texture and overall skin smoothness.
Unlike dermal fillers, skin boosters are not used to reshape the face or add visible volume. They are placed superficially into the skin to support hydration, firmness and skin quality from within.
Depending on the product used, skin boosters may contain hyaluronic acid, amino acids, peptides, vitamins, antioxidants or other skin-supporting ingredients.
What it may help with
- dehydration
- dullness
- fine lines
- crepey skin
- loss of elasticity
- uneven texture
- tired-looking skin
- lack of radiance
- skin that looks thin or dry
- overall skin quality
What the treatment involves
Your appointment begins with a consultation and skin assessment to check your concerns, skin condition, medical history, suitability and treatment goals.
The treatment area is cleansed and prepared. The skin booster is then placed into the superficial layers of the skin using a series of small injection points.
The exact technique depends on the product used, treatment area and skin concern. Small amounts of product are placed across the treatment area to support hydration, elasticity, smoothness and skin quality.
You may feel mild stinging, pressure or small pinches during treatment. Numbing may be used where appropriate, depending on the product and area treated.
After treatment, full aftercare advice will be provided.
Treatment approach
Skin boosters are selected according to the skin concern, treatment area and desired result.
A hydration-focused skin booster may be recommended for dry, crepey or dehydrated skin.
A skin-quality booster may be used to support elasticity, fine lines, texture and radiance.
Under-eye skin boosters may be considered for selected clients with dehydration, fine lines or crepey under-eye skin. They are not suitable for every under-eye concern. Puffiness, eye bags, deep hollows or pigmentation-related dark circles may require a different approach.
The aim is gradual improvement in skin condition, not facial reshaping.
Who it is suitable for
Skin boosters may be suitable if your skin feels dry, thin, tired, crepey, dull or less elastic, and you want a more active treatment than facials, peels or topical skincare.
They can be useful for the face, under-eye area where suitable, neck, décolletage or other areas with visible dehydration or skin-quality decline.
Skin boosters are not suitable for everyone. Treatment may need to be delayed or avoided if there is active infection, inflamed acne in the area, pregnancy, breastfeeding, certain medical conditions, allergy to ingredients, poor healing or compromised skin barrier.
Results
After treatment, the skin may gradually appear more hydrated, smoother, fresher and more radiant.
Some improvement may be visible after one session, but best results usually come from a course, especially where dehydration, fine lines, crepey texture or loss of elasticity are more noticeable.
Skin boosters do not lift sagging skin, remove deep wrinkles or replace dermal filler. Their purpose is to improve skin quality, hydration and texture.
Downtime
Temporary redness, mild swelling, tenderness, small bumps, injection marks or minor bruising may occur after treatment.
Small bumps can be visible immediately after treatment and usually settle as the product disperses.
After treatment, you will usually need to avoid makeup, heat treatments, intense exercise, alcohol, exfoliating acids, retinoids and direct sun exposure for the advised period. SPF is essential.
Pricing
Treatment is subject to assessment and suitability.
