Skin Boosters

How do Skin Boosters work?

Skin boosters enhance skin quality by delivering hydrating and bioactive ingredients directly into the dermis, the layer responsible for maintaining firmness and elasticity. Their benefits come from biological changes within the skin, rather than the treatment steps themselves.

This is achieved through the following steps:

• Targeted delivery into the dermis – microinjections place hyaluronic acid (HA), bioactive ingredients such as PN/PDRN or collagen stimulators  precisely where the skin needs them. These ingredients act as tiny moisture reservoirs, helping the skin retain hydration more effectively than topical products.
• Deep hydration and nourishment – once injected, the solution gradually integrates into the dermal layer. The HA draws and holds water, giving the skin a plumper, smoother and more radiant appearance. Nutrients in the formulation help support healthy cell function.
• Stimulation of collagen and repair processes – bio-remodelling HA, PN/PDRN and collagen biostimulators encourage collagen and elastin production. Over time, this improves skin firmness, texture and overall resilience.

What skin concerns can Skin Boosters treat?

Multiple skin concerns can be treated with skin boosters. These may include:

• Dehydrated or dull skin
• Early signs of ageing
• Enlarged pores
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Loss of elasticity or mild sagging
• Thin or delicate skin
• Uneven skin tone or texture

Are Skin Boosters safe for all skin types?

The treatment is generally suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and darker skin tones, when performed by a qualified and experienced dermatologist. Before treatment, our dermatologist will assess your skin to determine the most suitable formulation, injction depth and treatment plan, helping to ensure safe and effective results.

Special care is also taken to minimise complications such as bruising or mild swelling. Our dermatologist will also advise on aftercare guidance to help support optimal recovery and results.

What are the benefits of Skin Boosters?

Some of the key benefits you can expect are:

• Deep hydration and long-lasting moisture retention
• Enhanced elasticity and firmness
• Healthier and more glowing complexion
• Improved skin quality
• Reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
• Smoother skin texture

What can I expect from Skin Boosters treatment?

Understanding what happens at each step can help you feel more at ease and prepared. Each phase of the treatment is carefully designed to maximise results, while ensuring comfort and safety. 

Before the session

You will have a consultation with our dermatologist to discuss your concerns and treatment goals. Your skin will be assessed, and a suitable formulation will be recommended. You may also be advised on simple pre-treatment steps, such as avoiding certain products or medications.

During the session

The skin is cleansed and numbing cream may be applied for comfort. Using either manual injections or an autoinjector device, the dermatologist introduces the skin booster into specific areas. Most patients describe only mild pinching or pressure.

After the session

Mild redness, small bumps or slight swelling may appear at the injection sites. These effects are temporary and usually settle within hours to a couple of days. You can return to most daily activities immediately, as downtime is minimal.

What results can I expect from Skin Boosters?

Results usually develop gradually over a few weeks as the skin absorbs the solution and activates its natural repair process. You may notice that your skin feels more hydrated, looks plumper and has a healthier, more radiant glow. Fine lines often appear softer with improved texture and elasticity. Results may vary depending on individual skin condition, age, treatment type and response.

Our dermatologist may recommend a series of sessions to maximise these effects and maintain a youthful, refreshed appearance.

How often should I undergo Skin Booster treatment?

The treatment frequency depends on your skin condition, age and goals. A general guideline is:

• Initial treatment – usually 2 to 4 sessions spaced 3 to 4 weeks apart
• Maintenance treatment – once every 4 to 6 months to help sustain results

Our dermatologists will provide a more personalised schedule after seeing how your skin responds to the first treatment.
