What it is
Skinboosters are usually a hyaluronic acid formulation, less dense than a contouring filler, placed in many small deposits across an area such as the face, neck, hands or chest. The hyaluronic acid then attracts and holds water in the dermis, supporting skin function over the months that follow.
What it does well
Skin that looks tired, dehydrated, or has lost the glow that hydration gives. Crepey skin on areas like the neck and around the eyes. Skin quality complaints in patients who have already addressed structure or pigment and want the next layer of improvement.
What it does not do
Skinboosters are not contouring. They will not lift or fill volume. They are also not a one-session intervention; the work is cumulative and benefits from a planned course.
Our view
Skin quality is often the layer patients have most under-addressed. They have invested in volume or expression lines, but the surface itself has been neglected. Skinboosters are a useful answer when the diagnosis points there, recommended on the merits of the skin in the chair rather than as a default.
Practical notes
A session takes about thirty minutes, and a course is typically two to three sessions spaced a month apart. There can be small visible papules at the injection sites for a day or so, which then settle.
