What Are Skin Boosters?
Skin boosters work by delivering hydration deep into the skin. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, they spread evenly through the tissue rather than adding targeted volume, which makes them well suited to improving overall skin quality. They may suit you if you have:
- Skin that feels dry, dull or lacking in elasticity
- Early signs of skin ageing or crepiness
- A wish for better skin quality rather than added volume
- Areas where the skin has lost some of its bounce
Where Can Skin Boosters Be Used?
Face
Skin boosters can improve hydration, smoothness and glow across the face, helping skin look fresher and more even in texture. Many patients choose the face when they notice dullness or dryness, or when they would like a subtle lift in skin quality without changing their features.
Neck and Décolletage
The thin skin of the neck and chest often shows crepiness early. Skin boosters can help improve its hydration and elasticity. You may also be interested in our neck rejuvenation page.
Hands, Inner Arms, Abdomen and Knees
Wherever skin has lost some bounce, boosters can be used to improve hydration and quality. We will talk through which areas are worth treating and how many sessions each is likely to need, so that your plan stays realistic and clear. Our hand rejuvenation page explains how this works for the hands.

The product is injected in a series of small, evenly spaced injections across the treatment area. Most patients find the treatment only mildly uncomfortable, with any sensation brief. Some temporary swelling is possible, and downtime is minimal. A course of two treatments, approximately one month apart, is typically recommended for a good result. Improvement in hydration and glow builds over the course of treatment and generally lasts several months, though individual results vary.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between skin boosters and dermal fillers?
Skin boosters spread evenly through the tissue to improve hydration and overall skin quality, while dermal fillers add targeted volume to specific areas such as the cheeks or lips.
How many sessions will I need?
A course of two treatments, approximately one month apart, is typically recommended to achieve the full benefit.
How long do results last?
Many patients notice an improvement in skin hydration and glow that continues to build over the course of treatment, with results generally lasting several months.
Is skin booster treatment painful?
Most patients find the treatment only mildly uncomfortable, with any sensation being brief during the injections themselves.
Can skin boosters be used on the neck and hands as well as the face?
Yes. Skin boosters are commonly used on the neck and décolletage, hands, inner arms, abdomen and knees as well as the face, wherever an improvement in skin quality and hydration is wanted.
Can skin boosters be combined with other treatments?
Often, yes. They are sometimes combined with treatments such as polynucleotides as part of a wider skin quality plan, which we will discuss with you at your consultation.
