Skin boosters are micro-injections of a hyaluronic acid (HA) product placed in small amounts into the skin to improve hydration and skin quality. Unlike dermal fillers, which add volume under the skin, boosters are meant to improve how the skin looks and feels, such as dullness, dryness and fine crepey lines.
They are prescription medical injectables. The American Academy of Dermatology advises seeing a board-certified dermatologist for injectables, because injections need detailed medical knowledge. We tell you at the consultation who would perform yours.
Evidence for how long benefits last varies between products, and results vary from person to person. Daily sun protection matters just as much, because the AAD notes it helps treatments work better with fewer side effects.
Dull, tired-looking skin
Dehydrated or dry skin
Fine, crepey lines
Early loss of firmness
Rough texture
Skin that needs support after sun exposure
Dr. Karishma Singh, Founder and Skin & Aesthetic Specialist (BHMS, FCHD), leads treatment planning and procedures. Dr. Monica C., Consultant Dermatologist (MD Dermatology, Venereology & Leprosy; NMC-registered), assesses medical causes and prescribes medicines where they are needed.
We tell you if your concern is better suited to another option such as a peel, PRP/GFC or microneedling, or if you need a doctor's assessment first.
Consultation & Skin Assessment
We assess your skin quality, medical history, allergies, medicines and goals, and tell you whether boosters are suitable and who would perform them.
Personalised Plan
We explain the product, the number of sessions, the risks and the written fee, before you agree.
Treatment
The skin is cleaned and a numbing cream may be used. Small amounts of product are placed across the treated area with fine needles or a device.
Aftercare & Review
You get written aftercare. We review at set intervals and advise on maintenance sessions if needed.
Hyaluronic Acid Skin Boosters
Micro-injections of HA to improve hydration and skin quality across the face, neck or hands, as advised.
Boosters for Ageing Skin
Used for dryness, fine lines and early loss of firmness. They do not replace volume the way fillers can.
Boosters for Dull Skin
Used where dehydration makes skin look tired. Pigmentation needs other treatments. See our skin whitening and brightening page.
Boosters for Texture
Sometimes used for rough texture. Acne scars usually need other treatments first. See our acne scar treatment page.
Combination Plans
Combined with peels, PRP/GFC or microneedling after assessment. See our GFC therapy and microneedling pages.
Skin may feel more hydrated within days to weeks. Results vary, depend on the product and your skin, and cannot be promised. Boosters do not stop ageing or remove deep lines.
Results wear off over time as the body breaks the product down, so maintenance sessions may be advised. We explain the likely schedule at the consultation.
The cost depends on the product chosen, the area treated, the number of sessions and review visits.
We don't work from a fixed price list. After your consultation you receive the recommended plan and a written fee, so you can decide at your own pace.
Checks suitability first. Boosters are not right for every concern.
Explains who performs the injections. As the AAD advises for injectables.
Sets honest expectations. Hydration and texture, not volume.
Is planned for your skin. Area, spacing and combinations depend on assessment.
Includes sun protection and home care. To support results.
Reviews and adjusts. The plan changes if it is not helping.
Small bumps, redness, swelling and bruising at the injection points are common and usually settle within a few days.
Some people have tenderness for a day or two.
Most people return to routine activities the same day, though bruising may show.
Avoid touching or massaging the area for the time we advise.
Skip makeup for the time we advise.
Avoid heavy workouts, saunas and swimming for 24 to 48 hours, if advised.
Avoid alcohol and blood-thinning supplements in the days around treatment unless your doctor says otherwise.
Apply sunscreen daily.
Tell us at once if you notice severe pain, blanching, blistering or vision changes.
Skin boosters can cause bruising, swelling, lumps, redness, infection and allergic reactions. Rarely, injected HA products can block a blood vessel, which needs urgent treatment. These are reasons the AAD advises a board-certified dermatologist for injectables.
Tell us if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, take blood thinners, have allergies, autoimmune disease, a bleeding condition, cold sores or an infection. Always tell us about every product and medicine you use.
