Skin booster treatment being applied to hydrate the skin

What it is

Non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid, injected in small, evenly spaced droplets into the dermis to draw in and hold water. Unlike structural filler, it doesn't add shape or volume — it changes how the skin holds hydration, so it looks plumper and glows rather than looking bigger.

Who it's for

Guests with dehydrated, dull or crepey skin who want a healthier surface quality rather than a change in facial contour. Works well as a stand-alone treatment or alongside shape-focused fillers.

What happens at your appointment

Topical numbing for around 20 minutes, then a grid of small injections across the treatment area — commonly the full face, neck or hands. The appointment itself runs about 20–30 minutes.

Results & recovery

Some initial plumpness is visible right away from the injected fluid itself, with the true hydration effect building over 2–4 weeks as the product integrates. Small bumps settle within a day.

Questions

Skin Booster — frequently asked

Twenty answers written by our physicians.

What is a skin booster?
Non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid placed in the dermis for hydration and glow. It changes quality, not shape.
How is this different from regular filler?
Structural filler is cross-linked to hold a shape and add volume. Skin boosters use a thinner, non-cross-linked formula designed to spread evenly and hold water rather than create form.
Does it hurt?
Topical anaesthetic is used beforehand. Most guests describe a series of small pinches across the treated area rather than sharp pain.
How long does the appointment take?
20 to 30 minutes including numbing time, depending on the area treated.
How soon will I see results?
Some initial plumpness is visible right away, with the genuine hydration improvement building over 2 to 4 weeks.
How long does it last?
Typically 4–6 months per course, though this varies with skin type, sun exposure and how well you maintain hydration between sessions.
How many sessions do I need to start?
A course of 2–3 sessions, about a month apart, is typical for a first round, followed by a maintenance session every few months.
Can it be used on the neck and hands, not just the face?
Yes — the neck, décolletage and backs of the hands are common additional areas, all showing dehydration and crepiness earlier than people expect.
Is there downtime?
Minimal. Small bumps at each injection point usually flatten within a day, and makeup can be worn once they settle.
Will it make my face look bigger?
No — the non-cross-linked formula is specifically chosen so it doesn't add structural volume, only hydration within the existing shape of your skin.
Can it help with acne scarring?
It can improve overall skin texture and hydration around scarring, though established acne scars usually need a dedicated resurfacing approach for real change.
Is it suitable for very young skin?
It's most valuable once dehydration or early fine lines appear, generally from the late twenties onward, though skin condition matters more than age alone.
Can I combine it with Botox or filler?
Yes — skin boosters are frequently paired with Botox or structural filler in the same visit as part of a broader treatment plan.
Will I bruise?
Small pinpoint bruises are possible given the number of injection points, though most guests have minimal bruising that concealer covers easily.
What does the skin actually feel like afterward?
Smoother and more supple within a couple of weeks, as the hyaluronic acid draws in and holds moisture within the dermis.
Is this the same as a hyaluronic acid facial or serum?
No — topical products sit on the skin's surface, while injected skin boosters place the hyaluronic acid directly in the dermis, where it has a much stronger and longer-lasting hydrating effect.
Who performs the treatment?
Only physicians and specialist nurses trained in facial anatomy, following the same medical protocol as every injectable at this clinic.
Can it help with fine lines?
Yes, particularly fine dehydration lines that appear and disappear through the day — deeper, static lines respond better to Botox or a structural approach.
What should I avoid beforehand?
Avoid alcohol and blood-thinning medication for 24–48 hours where possible, to limit bruising.
Is it safe for sensitive skin?
Generally yes, since the formula is designed for hydration and is well tolerated, though we discuss any known sensitivities at your consultation first.
