Skin Boosters
Skin boosters are gentle injectable treatments that deliver hyaluronic acid and other skin-loving ingredients directly into the skin. Rather than changing the facial shape, they focus on improving hydration, texture and radiance. They can be used on the face, neck, décolletage and hands, depending on your individual needs.
What Can Skin Boosters Help With?
-
Dull, dehydrated or tired-looking skin
-
Fine crepey lines, especially on the cheeks or lower face
-
Mild textural irregularities
-
Loss of elasticity and ‘bounce’
-
Overall radiance and smoothness
For best results, a course of treatments is often recommended as advised during your consultation.
What to Expect at Your Treatment
Before
Treatment start with a detailed consultation to understand your concerns and assess your skin. We discuss suitable products and areas to treat, then plan a personalised course of treatment.
During
Small amounts of product are placed under the skin using a series of fine injections. A topical numbing cream may be used for comfort. Treatment usually takes around 30-45 minutes.
After
You may notice small bumps at the injection sites, along with mild redness or swelling, which usually settle over the next hours to a few days. Bruising is possible but temporary. You’ll receive clear aftercare advice, including how to care for your skin and what to avoid while it settles.
