Skin Boosters: The Injectable That Hydrates and Brightens Without Changing Your Shape
Skin boosters are one of the gentlest ways to refresh dull, dehydrated skin without adding volume or changing your face. Here is how these hyaluronic acid injectables work, what a session feels like, how long the glow lasts and why they suit the under-eye area, neck and lips so well.

So one of my favourite treatments here at Face and Fillers is Skin Boosters. I love this treatment because it doesn't change the shape of your face, it gives you that little pick-me-up to make your face look a little bit plumper, healthier, a little bit refreshed and it is a really lovely, generally safe treatment to do and it can be used by everyone. So Skin Boosters is a hyaluronic acid injectable treatment but it's a very, very thin hyaluronic acid so very similar to the serum that you would have in your moisturisers and so on.
But this is injected very skin deep, nothing lower than the skin, nothing deeper than the skin. It's a treatment for the skin and therefore it's not considered a filler. The treatment lasts approximately nine months.
There are some patients who really love it and will come every six months for Skin Boosters treatment and there are other patients who do it just once a year and they feel that's absolutely enough for them. And it takes approximately four weeks for the effect to show. Because it's a treatment of the skin, you're not going to see the results straight away.
The skin reacts to the hyaluronic acid, it hydrates, it feels much more moisturised, it brightens, has a much more fuller, plumper texture and that takes four weeks to show its effects. So Skin Boosters can be used for example around the eye area if you feel like you're looking really tired, very dark sunken in. If you have very, very thin, fine lines around the lips, the corners of the eyes, in other locations where even the neck, the decolletage area where fillers may not be appropriate or may not give that fuller effect or maybe you don't feel comfortable about using fillers and you're very new to facial aesthetics, then I would suggest Skin Booster as an initial treatment.
See how you feel, get comfortable with the treatment before moving forwards. And yeah, that Skin Booster is very straightforward and very easy and you can see all the before and afters that I've done on Instagram to get an idea of what Skin Booster treatment and results are actually like.
