Skin Booster
Many small injections of hyaluronic acid spread through an area, to hydrate skin from the inside rather than to fill a line or add volume. It changes how skin looks close up. It does not lift and it does not reshape.

What it does
The product is uncross-linked or lightly cross-linked hyaluronic acid, placed as many small deposits across an area instead of one bolus in one spot. It draws water into the dermis, and the small injuries of the injections themselves prompt some remodelling. What people notice afterwards is texture, fine crepey lines and the way light sits on the skin — not a change in shape.
Skin, not shape
Hydration and texture across an area. Nothing is being pushed forward.
A course, not a visit
Usually two or three sessions four weeks apart, then a top-up once or twice a year.
Usually a good fit
- Skin that looks dull or dehydrated, or fine crepey lines on the cheek and under the eye
- Neck, décolletage or the backs of the hands, where texture shows early
- You can come back two or three times and then keep it up
- You accept small bumps for a day, and possible bruising
Usually not
- You want volume, projection or a lift — this is not that treatment
- Acne with active infection, eczema, or broken skin in the area
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding
- You have something tomorrow you need to look settled for
- You are hoping one session will do it
Before
- No alcohol the night before, and tell us about blood thinners and fish oil
- Come without makeup — the skin is assessed bare, up close
- Leave a week before an event, two if you bruise easily
- Plan for the second session four weeks out before you book the first
On the day
- 01AssessmentBare skin under good light, close up, to decide the area and whether this is the right treatment for what you are seeing.
- 02NumbingAnaesthetic cream for about twenty minutes. The injections are shallow, but there are many of them.
- 03InjectionsA grid of small deposits across the area, roughly twenty minutes of injecting.
After
- Small raised bumps for twelve to twenty-four hours — that is the product sitting there, and it settles
- Bruising is possible, particularly under the eyes and on the neck
- No makeup for the rest of the day; no gym, sauna or pool for a day
- Sunscreen daily, and book the next session at four weeks while you are still here
Questions we get
Is this the same as filler?
No. Same family of material, different job. Filler is placed to support or project a structure; this is spread through the skin to change its quality.
When will I see something?
A little plumping in the first week, and most of it after the second session. Skin quality changes slowly, because that is how skin works.
How often after the course?
Most people repeat it once or twice a year. Sun exposure and smoking shorten it.
Will it help acne scarring?
Not directly. Texture can look better because hydrated skin reflects light more evenly, but scarring is a separate problem with separate tools — and we will tell you which one you actually need.
Can I have it on the same day as everything else?
Sometimes. Sometimes it is better spaced out. Ask at the assessment rather than assuming.
How is it priced?
Per session, by area. The number of sessions is decided at the assessment, and the current price is on the booking page.
