Skin Boosting Treatments

Skin boosters are injectable treatments that deliver a concentrated dose of hyaluronic acid (and sometimes other ingredients) directly into the skin. They’re designed to improve skin hydration, texture, and overall appearance.

Unlike dermal fillers, which add volume, skin boosters primarily focus on improving the skin’s structure from within by plumping and hydrating the deeper layers. This results in a more youthful, radiant complexion. Different formulations may include other ingredients like vitamins, growth factors, or antioxidants, further enhancing the benefits.

We offer skin boosters and polynucleotides.

Why choose Skin Boosters?

Skin boosters are a popular and effective way to rejuvenate your skin from within. They work by delivering hyaluronic acid directly into the deeper layers of your skin, helping to boost hydration, improve skin elasticity, and smooth out fine lines. They also provide:

Deep Hydration: Skin boosters deliver intense moisture from within, resulting in plump, dewy skin.
Improved Skin Texture: They help smooth out fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven texture for a more refined look.
Enhanced Radiance: Boosters promote a healthy glow, restoring natural luminosity to dull or tired skin.
Stimulates Collagen Production: They encourage collagen growth, which supports skin elasticity and firmness over time.
Natural Results: Skin boosters enhance your skin’s natural beauty without looking overdone or artificial.
Versatility: Suitable for various skin types and concerns, including aging, dehydration, and dullness.
Minimal Downtime: Most treatments are quick with little to no downtime, making it convenient for busy lifestyles.

Choosing skin boosters is an effective, non-invasive way to rejuvenate your skin and maintain a fresh, youthful appearance.

FAQ’s

What are skin booster injections?

Skin booster injections are tiny, targeted injections of hyaluronic acid-based solutions administered into the deeper layers of the skin. These injections help to hydrate, plump, and improve the overall texture and elasticity of your skin.

Unlike fillers that add volume to specific areas, skin boosters focus on enhancing the skin’s quality from within, resulting in a more radiant, smooth, and youthful appearance. They are a popular choice for those looking to refresh their skin and achieve a natural glow.

Are skin boosters safe?

Yes, skin boosters are generally considered safe when administered by a qualified and experienced practitioner like Nurse Kelsey. They are made from hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the body, which reduces the risk of adverse reactions.

However, as with any cosmetic procedure, there are some risks, such as minor swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection site. Serious side effects are rare but can include allergic reactions or, very rarely, vascular complications.

To ensure safety, it’s important to have the treatment performed by a trained professional who will assess your suitability and use proper techniques. Nurse Kelsey will discuss all potential risks and answer any questions during your consultation.

Are skin boosters painful?

Most patients find that skin booster injections cause minimal discomfort. The sensation is often described as a slight prick or sting, similar to other injectable treatments.

To enhance comfort, Nurse Kelsey may use a topical numbing cream or cold packs before the procedure. If you are concerned about pain, discuss this during your consultation, and steps will be taken to make the experience as comfortable as possible.

Where do skin boosters go?

Skin boosters are injected into the deeper layers of the skin, specifically the dermis. This is different from fillers, which are placed in the subcutaneous layer (beneath the dermis). The goal is to hydrate and stimulate collagen production within the skin’s supportive structure.

What type of skin boosters are available

There are several types of skin boosters available, each formulated to target specific skin concerns and provide optimal hydration and rejuvenation. Some popular options include:

Redensity [I] – Specifically designed for facial skin rejuvenation, rich in hyaluronic acid, amino acids, antioxidants, and vitamins to hydrate and improve skin quality.
Profhilo – Contains a high concentration of stabilized hyaluronic acid, used to stimulate collagen and elastin, improving skin laxity and texture.
Juvederm Volite – A hyaluronic acid-based skin booster aimed at increasing hydration, elasticity, and smoothness, often used for face, neck, and décolletage.
Restylane Skinboosters – A range of products tailored for different areas, offering deep hydration and skin improvement.

Nurse Kelsey will discuss during your consultation which boosters are best suited to your goals, ensuring a personalised treatment plan for optimal results.

How many skin booster sessions will I need?

The number of skin booster sessions needed varies depending on your skin concerns and goals. Generally, a series of 2 to 3 sessions spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart is recommended to achieve optimal results.

Nurse Kelsey will assess your skin during your consultation and advise on the best treatment plan tailored to your needs, including the number of sessions required for your desired outcome.

How long do skin boosters last?

Skin boosters typically last between 6 to 12 months, depending on the individual, the type of booster used, and the area treated. Regular maintenance sessions can help prolong the benefits and maintain your skin’s hydration and glow.

Can skin boosters be used under the eyes?

Yes, skin boosters can be used under the eyes to help improve hydration, reduce fine lines, and enhance skin elasticity in that delicate area. They can provide a more refreshed and youthful appearance by addressing common concerns like dullness and dryness.

However, because the under-eye area is sensitive, it’s important to have the treatment performed by an experienced practitioner like Nurse Kelsey, who will tailor the approach to ensure safety and natural-looking results.

Can skin boosters cause a vascular occlusion?

While skin boosters are generally safe when administered by a trained and experienced practitioner, there is a very small risk of vascular occlusion, which occurs if the injectable accidentally blocks a blood vessel.

To minimize this risk, Nurse Kelsey will use proper techniques, such as slow injection, careful placement, and anatomical knowledge of blood vessels. If any signs of vascular occlusion occur, prompt treatment can usually resolve the issue.

Always ensure your treatment is performed by a qualified professional to maximize safety and achieve the best results.

What are polynucleotides?

Polynucleotides are natural molecules composed of long chains of nucleotides, which are the building blocks of DNA and RNA. They play a crucial role in cellular processes, including DNA repair, regeneration, and signaling within the body.

In aesthetic treatments, polynucleotides are used as regenerative agents to promote skin healing, improve elasticity, and reduce signs of aging. They work by stimulating collagen production and enhancing tissue renewal, leading to healthier, more youthful skin.

Some skin rejuvenation products incorporate polynucleotides for their regenerative and anti-inflammatory properties, helping to improve skin quality and overall appearance.
