Skin Boosters
Skin boosters are injectable hydration treatments that rejuvenate your skin from within. Unlike topical products that work only on the surface, skin boosters deliver hyaluronic acid directly into the dermis, attracting moisture and stimulating collagen for improved texture, radiance, and overall skin quality that you can see and feel.

- Improves skin texture, tone and luminosity
- Reduces fine lines and crepey skin
- Multiple product options including Restylane Vital
- Suitable for face, neck, décolletage and hands

What Are Skin Boosters?
Skin boosters are micro-injections of hyaluronic acid delivered into the superficial dermis using tiny droplets. Unlike fillers that add volume, skin boosters work by attracting water molecules to hydrate skin from within. This deep hydration improves skin quality, reduces fine lines, enhances elasticity, and creates a natural, healthy glow that topical products simply cannot achieve.
Our Skin Booster Options
We offer several premium skin booster products to suit different needs. Restylane Vital provides intensive hydration for dry, dull skin. Juvederm Volite offers longer-lasting hydration with collagen stimulation. Seventy Hyal delivers targeted hydration for fine lines. During consultation, Dr. Phillips will assess your skin and recommend the most suitable product based on your concerns and goals.
The Treatment Experience
Skin booster treatment involves multiple small injections across the treatment area, either manually or using a specialised injection device. We apply numbing cream beforehand to ensure comfort. The procedure takes 30-45 minutes depending on the area treated. You may experience mild redness and small bumps at injection sites, which typically resolve within 24-48 hours.
Building Beautiful Skin
Most patients require an initial course of 2-3 treatments, spaced 3-4 weeks apart, to achieve optimal results. You'll notice improvements in hydration and glow after the first session, with cumulative benefits developing over the course. Results typically last 6-9 months, maintained with periodic top-up treatments. Skin boosters work beautifully alongside other treatments for comprehensive rejuvenation.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Both are injectable hydration treatments, but they work differently. Skin boosters use micro-droplet injections across the entire treatment area for surface-level hydration and fine line improvement. Profhilo uses fewer injection points and disperses deeply to stimulate collagen and elastin, providing more significant lifting and firming. Skin boosters are ideal for hydration; Profhilo for overall skin remodelling.
-
Most patients need an initial course of 2-3 treatments, spaced 3-4 weeks apart. This allows the hyaluronic acid to build up in your skin and stimulate lasting improvement. After the initial course, maintenance treatments every 6-9 months help sustain results. Your exact protocol depends on your skin condition and goals—Dr. Phillips will create a personalised plan.
-
Yes, skin boosters suit all skin types and tones. They're particularly beneficial for dry, dehydrated skin, dull complexion, fine lines, crepey texture, and sun-damaged skin. Younger patients use them for prevention and glow; mature patients for rejuvenation and hydration. The treatment can be adjusted based on your specific concerns and skin condition.
-
Skin boosters can treat any area where you want to improve skin quality. The face is most common, but the neck, décolletage, and hands respond beautifully—areas often neglected by regular skincare. These areas typically show aging early and benefit significantly from deep hydration. We can also treat the under-eye area and areas prone to fine lines.
-
Downtime is minimal. You may have mild redness and small bumps at injection sites, which typically settle within 24-48 hours. Some patients experience slight swelling or tenderness. You can return to normal activities immediately, though we recommend avoiding makeup for a few hours and strenuous exercise for 24 hours. Most patients feel comfortable attending social events the next day.
