Skin Booster Injections
Skin boosters are an injectable treatment that improve skin texture, elasticity, hydration and overall appearance. The process involves injecting hyaluronic acid into the skin with a small needle. The results are firmer, more hydrated skin which gives off a healthy glow. Skin boosters also stimulate the production of collagen, improving the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, resulting in younger looking skin.
The most common areas to receive skin boosters are the face, neck, chest and hands. For best results you’ll want an initial course of 3-4, followed by top up treatments every 4-6 months.
The skin is cleansed and local anaesthetic numbing cream is applied, before a series of small injections are made into the skin across the area being treated.
Some mild to moderate discomfort can be experienced while the product is being injected, but it is short-lived.
You do not need to prepare your skin in any particular way. Your skin will be cleansed and anaesthetic cream applied during your appointment.
You should consider booking your treatment to allow 1 – 2 days for your skin to settle afterwards by avoiding strenuous activity or excessive sun exposure.
You will have some slightly raised bumps in the skin in the hours after treatment; some of these may persist for a day or two.
Bruising is unlikely and is usually minimal, short-lived and concealable when it does occur.
Good skin hygiene is particularly important for the first 24 hours after treatment.

“Can honestly say I have NEVER been so happy with my skin. I saw immediate reduction in my freckles, my pores are tighter, my skin looks youthful and glowy. I’ve not worn makeup for days which is a first for me.”
