Skin Boosters

Skin boosters are micro-injections of hyaluronic acid that hydrate the skin from within — improving texture, glow and overall skin quality without adding volume.

Your Trusted Partner in Aesthetics

Why Choose Skin Boosters?

Skin boosters are chosen when the priority is improving skin quality — hydration, texture, radiance and fine lines — rather than adding volume or reshaping. They involve micro-injections of very fine hyaluronic acid that spreads beneath the skin surface to attract and retain moisture at a deeper level than topical products can reach.

Unlike dermal fillers, skin boosters don't add structure or contour. They work by improving the skin's hydration, smoothness and overall health from within. They're popular for the face, neck, décolletage and hands — areas where skin quality often deteriorates with age or sun exposure.

Procedure Details

Skin boosters are delivered as a series of micro-injections across the treatment area using a fine needle or injection device. The hyaluronic acid is deposited just beneath the skin surface in a grid-like pattern to ensure even distribution. Your clinician selects the product and technique based on your skin condition and the area being treated. A course of 2–3 sessions is typically recommended, spaced 2–4 weeks apart.

Before the Procedure

  • Avoid alcohol for 24 hours if possible
  • Tell us about: allergies, pregnancy/breastfeeding, active skin infections, autoimmune conditions
  • Pause retinoids if advised
  • Arrive with clean skin if possible

During the Procedure

  • Typically 20–30 minutes
  • Multiple small injections across the treatment area
  • Mild discomfort — topical numbing can be applied if needed
  • Some patients find the neck and hands more sensitive

After the Procedure

  • Small bumps at injection sites are normal and usually settle within hours to days
  • Mild redness or bruising is possible
  • Avoid heat, make-up and strenuous exercise for 24 hours
  • SPF and gentle skincare are recommended
