What is it
Skin Boosters are special injectable treatments designed to provide a glowing complexion and improve overall skin quality, revitalising your skin from the inside out. Unlike regular dermal fillers that add volume, skin boosters work their magic by infusing powerful ingredients into your skin such as hyaluronic acid (HA), Vitamins and antioxidants.
Skin boosters contain a high concentration of hyaluronic acid (HA). HA is a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps maintain hydration and volume in the skin. As we age, our HA levels decrease, leading to fine lines, volume loss, and dull skin. By injecting HA into the skin, skin boosters significantly boost hydration, improving skin tone, texture, firmness, and reducing fine lines and wrinkles. Along with HA, the vitamins and antioxidants in it contribute to overall skin health and appearance.
How They Work
Skin boosters are injected into the papillary dermis—the upper layer of the skin. Here, they activate fibroblast cells, which play a crucial role in collagen and elastin production. The result? Smooth, plump, and healthy glowing skin!

Skin boosters are generally safe but it’s important to be aware of potential side effects. Some possible common side effects include swelling and bruising at the injection site, with swelling typically subsiding within a day or two. Itching or redness at the injection site may also occur as the skin is healing, and should resolve within a similar timeframe. However, if any side effects persist, worsen, or if you have any concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us immediately.
We recommend that you avoid touching the treated area for at least 6 hours, refrain from applying makeup to the treated area for 24 hours and avoid heavy exercise for 24 hours, to minimise swelling. Steer clear of facials, sunbeds, chemical peels, saunas, and swimming for 2 weeks
