‘Skin boosters’ are an injectable treatment that is designed to deliver deep skin hydration. They’re also sometimes referred to as injections for skin quality, as they promote a natural glow and radiance.
This is a relatively new treatment concept which has become a lot more popular over the last few years. It particularly appeals to patients who want to look fresh and natural with their anti-ageing treatments.
Skin booster results don’t have the dramatic impact that can be associated with the better known non-surgical treatments. They don’t ‘freeze’ the features or stop muscle movement (like BOTOX® can), although they can help to smooth out lines and wrinkles. They won’t deliver exaggerated or over-inflated results like dermal fillers can, although they can add more subtle volume by gently plumping the skin.
How Skin Boosters Work
Skin booster injections are a soft, gel-like substance called Hyaluronic Acid (HA). This is a substance that occurs naturally in the skin and holds incredible amounts of moisture. However, it depletes with age, which is what causes skin to appear lined or loose with a dryer texture.
Microinjections of deeply hydrating hyaluronic acid restores the moisture in the skin, which improves its elasticity, firmness and radiance.
It’s not really comparable to applying moisturiser – the injections can penetrate much deeper and last longer.
When applied using a mesotherapy technique of tiny injections, the process of delivering skin boosters also triggers the skin’s own repair and tightening mechanisms, which enhances the result.

Benefits of Skin Boosters
The most common uses of skin boosters are for facial rejuvenation. However, this is a versatile treatment that can be used to treat many different skin areas e.g. neck, décolletage, backs of the hands. They can also be used on difficult to treat areas, like tightening the skin under the chin (RRS), the upper inner arms, inner thighs, knees and abdomen. They are safe for all skin types, ages and genders.
Depending on the treatment chosen, some of the potential benefits include:
- More radiant complexion
- Healthier skin tone
- Reduction in visible lines and wrinkles
- Tighter, lifted skin
- Better hydration – a flattering ‘glow’
- Firmer skin texture
- Softer skin with more elasticity
- Reduction in patchy pigmentation
The nature of skin boosters means that they are also ideal for use in combination with other treatments, providing a holistic boost to the skin which works very well alongside more focused treatments such as the 8 point face lift for a comprehensive and flattering result.
