Skin boosters are a rejuvenating injectable treatment designed to deeply hydrate and enhance the natural radiance of your skin. Perfect for women looking to boost their glow, these treatments focus on restoring skin health and preventing the signs of ageing without adding volume. Instead, they work to repair and hydrate from within, giving your skin a refreshed, luminous look.
Loved by many since their launch, skin boosters are administered through tiny, safe micro-injections with a very fine needle. They contain hyaluronic acid (HA), a hydrating substance naturally found in the body, which depletes over time, helping to keep your skin plump, smooth, and glowing.

Our reputation is built around providing a fantastic experience for our patients – here’s what some of them have been saying about us…
I visited Dr Fiona recently for some general skincare advice and a series of chemical peels. Fiona fully explained the benefits of the treatment and the important aftercare advice. We had a in-depth discussion about my current skincare regime and Fiona was able to suggest a couple of products that might help my main issues which was redness. I have been totally delighted with the Obagi products and the results. This is the longest I’ve managed to stick to a skincare routine. I would highly recommend Fiona.
Having had various treatments by Dr Fiona (from anti wrinkle injections, lip enhancement and a wide range of Obagi skincare products) I won’t ever need to go anywhere else! Great at carrying out each and every one of her techniques, Fiona is very knowledgeable, happy to answer any questions you may have and lastly a lovely manor to go along with it.
I can’t recommend Fiona highly enough! She is a miracle worker! 🙂 Fiona immediately put me at ease. She is super knowledgeable, has a lovely calm manner and really listened when I said I wanted to look natural. She also recommended ZO skin health products which I have been using ever since and my skin has never looked better. I use the anti-ageing programme and the smart tone broad spectrum SPF 50. If you’re looking for anti-ageing advice you should definitely try Fiona! You won’t go anywhere else!
Before any treatment begins, we ask that you book an initial consultation with one of our experienced aesthetic doctors. During this session, we'll take a detailed medical history.
Alongside this, we’ll carry out a visual assessment and have an in-depth conversation about your skin concerns, needs, and desired outcomes. With all this information at hand, we can recommend the most suitable treatment plan to help you achieve your goals.
You might come to us with a particular treatment in mind, but if, after our assessment, we believe another option would be more effective for your needs, we'll let you know. Our priority is to offer personalised care, and we always provide honest, realistic advice to help you make an informed decision. Whatever the treatment, our recommendations will be centred on your individual goals.
Before starting the procedure, we may apply a topical anaesthetic cream for about 20-30 minutes to ensure you're comfortable throughout. The treatment involves injecting small amounts of the skin booster using an ultra-fine needle into specific areas. We often treat broader areas, such as the face, neck, hands, or décolletage, taking care to work with precision. The whole process usually takes up to 45 minutes, depending on the area treated.
The frequency of treatments will depend on the type of skin booster and your skin’s condition. Each booster has its own specific protocol, which the doctor will discuss with you. In some cases, a single treatment may be enough, while other times, a series of weekly sessions may be recommended for optimal results.
After the initial course of treatments, you may opt for maintenance sessions every few months to keep your skin looking its best. For example, with Profhilo, most people have two treatments spaced a month apart, followed by a maintenance session around three months later.
Skin boosters are perfect for tackling ageing, dull, uneven, or dehydrated skin, and they’re ideal for anyone looking to revitalise their complexion. Commonly treated areas include the face, neck, décolletage, and hands. These treatments, often referred to as ‘injectable moisturisers,’ offer overall skin rejuvenation by deeply hydrating the skin and improving its texture and radiance.
They work by using hyaluronic acid to deliver hydration where it’s most needed. Skin boosters can smooth fine lines, plump the skin, and create a more even tone, giving your complexion a glowing, healthy appearance. Treatments like Profhilo also stimulate deeper skin remodelling for long-lasting improvements.
Thanks to the application of a topical anaesthetic cream, you’ll hardly feel the injections during your skin booster treatment. Our priority is to make the process as comfortable as possible for you.
Treatment duration varies depending on the area being treated and whether numbing cream is applied. Typically, it can range from 20 to 30 minutes. We will give you a more accurate timeframe during your initial consultation, based on your treatment plan.
The cost of a single skin booster treatment starts from around £150, though this may vary slightly depending on the specific booster used. We'll provide a detailed cost breakdown once we've assessed your needs during your consultation.
Immediately after your skin booster treatment, you may notice some slight redness, swelling, or mild bruising at the injection sites, but this usually subsides within a few hours to a couple of days. Your skin will start to feel more hydrated and refreshed in the days following treatment, with the full benefits typically visible after a couple of weeks as the hyaluronic acid continues to work beneath the surface. You can resume most normal activities right away, although we advise avoiding intense exercise or excessive heat (like saunas) for 24-48 hours.
Yes, skin boosters are designed to benefit all skin types. Whether your skin is dry, oily, sensitive, or combination, these treatments can be tailored to meet your unique needs. They are especially effective for those experiencing dullness, dehydration, or early signs of ageing, and they offer a versatile option for anyone looking to enhance their skin’s natural glow and elasticity. During your consultation, the doctor will assess your skin type and recommend the best approach for you.
