Hydration, Radiance and Skin Health — from the Inside Out

Skin boosters are injectable treatments designed to intensely hydrate the skin, improve elasticity, and restore a radiant glow. They are often based on hyaluronic acid (HA) — a substance naturally found in the skin — and work by attracting and retaining moisture, stimulating collagen production, and improving overall skin quality.

What Are Skin Boosters?

Unlike dermal fillers, skin boosters are not meant to add volume or reshape the face. Instead, they deliver lightweight hydrating solutions directly into the dermis, where they stimulate fibroblasts and improve skin structure over time.

They are ideal for clients seeking natural, subtle results — improved skin tone, texture, hydration, and elasticity — without looking "done."

1. Deep Hydration

Skin boosters contain stabilised hyaluronic acid, which binds up to 1,000 times its weight in water. This rehydrates the skin at a cellular level.

Helps with:

·       Dry, dull, or crepey skin

·       Flakiness or tightness

·       Dehydration due to ageing or environmental stress

How Do Skin Boosters Work?

2. Collagen and Elastin Stimulation

Hyaluronic acid activates fibroblast cells, which produce collagen and elastin. This strengthens the skin and improves its elasticity and firmness.

Helps with:

·       Fine lines and early wrinkles

·       Mild skin laxity

·       Loss of firmness

3. Skin Texture and Radiance

The treatment improves microcirculation, oxygenation, and nutrient flow to the skin. As a result, the skin appears more even, smooth, and luminous.

Helps with:

·       Rough or uneven skin tone

·       Tired, dull-looking skin

·       Enlarged pores or mild texture irregularities

Treatment Protocols

A course of 2 to 3 treatments spaced 3 to 4 weeks apart is typically recommended.

Maintenance treatments are usually performed every 4 to 6 months.

Full consultation and personalised plan are provided prior to treatment.

Injection Techniques

Different skin booster products require tailored application techniques to maximise their effectiveness and comfort.

Micropapular Technique:

  • Used for all other skin booster products.

  • Involves a series of very superficial micro-injections across the treatment area.

  • Ideal for precise targeting of fine lines, texture improvement, and areas requiring subtle surface enhancement like the lips or periorbital region.

What to Expect During the Procedure

The skin is cleansed and a topical numbing cream may be applied.

Product is injected using fine needles or micro-injections.

Treatment time is typically 20 to 30 minutes.

Most patients experience only mild discomfort.

Cost

Each session is priced between £160–£200, depending on the product used and treatment area.

Package options may be available for full-face or multi-area treatments.

BAP Technique (Bio Aesthetic Points):

  • Used for Profhilo (5-point protocol) and RRS HA Long Lasting and Jalupro Super Hydro (7-point protocol).

  • Involves injecting small amounts of product into specific anatomical landmarks to allow even diffusion and minimal trauma.

  • Best suited for overall facial hydration and skin tightening in areas like cheeks, jawline, and lower face.

Downtime and Aftercare

Mild redness, swelling, or small injection bumps may occur and usually subside within 24–48 hours.

Avoid makeup, intense exercise, saunas, and alcohol for 24 hours post-treatment.

Results are visible within days and improve over the next few weeks.
