Skin Boosters & Injectable Skin Remodelling

Skin boosters are injectable treatments designed primarily to improve the quality, hydration and appearance of the skin rather than change facial shape or create traditional dermal-filler volume.

As we age, changes in hydration, collagen, elastin and skin structure can contribute to dryness, fine lines, reduced elasticity and a loss of radiance.

Injectable skin treatments can be used as part of a personalised skin programme to support smoother, fresher and more hydrated-looking skin.

At SR Integrated Health & Wellness Clinic, we offer different injectable skin treatments because no single product is appropriate for every patient or every concern.

Depending on the product selected, skin boosters and injectable skin-remodelling treatments may help improve the appearance of:

  • Dehydrated skin
  • Fine lines
  • Crepey skin
  • Reduced elasticity
  • Dull or tired-looking skin
  • Uneven texture
  • Loss of radiance
  • Age-related changes in skin quality
  • Overall skin hydration and condition

Depending on the product and individual assessment, suitable treatment areas may include:

  • Face
  • Neck
  • Décolletage
  • Hands
  • Other appropriate areas of the body

Different areas have different skin characteristics, so the product and treatment technique are selected accordingly.

Many injectable skin boosters contain hyaluronic acid in formulations specifically designed to improve skin hydration and quality.

Hyaluronic acid naturally occurs within the body and has an important role in maintaining hydration within tissues.

Unlike traditional dermal fillers used to create projection, contour or structural support, skin boosters are generally placed within or beneath the skin using techniques intended to improve skin quality across a wider area.

Different products work in different ways, so your treatment will depend on the formulation selected.

Although some products contain hyaluronic acid, skin boosters and dermal fillers are not the same treatment.

Dermal fillers are generally used to restore volume, enhance facial structure or alter contour.

Skin boosters are primarily used to improve hydration and skin quality without deliberately creating significant facial volume.

Sometimes both treatments may be appropriate because they address different aspects of facial ageing.

These treatments can also be confused.

Skin boosters often focus strongly on hydration and improving the overall appearance and quality of the skin.

Polynucleotides are a different category of injectable treatment used with a regenerative skin-quality approach.

Neither is automatically better.

The appropriate option depends on your skin, treatment area, concerns and desired outcome.

Some injectable treatments are designed to provide broader skin-remodelling effects rather than simply treating an individual line.

Strategic injection points can be used depending on the particular product and treatment protocol.

These treatments can be particularly useful for patients who want an overall improvement in skin quality without substantially changing their facial features.

Your appointment begins with consultation and assessment.

The treatment area is cleansed and the selected product is administered using the appropriate injection technique.

Depending on the product, this may involve a series of small injections or specific treatment points across the area.

Small raised bumps can sometimes be visible immediately following treatment and usually settle as the product disperses.

Downtime is generally relatively limited, although temporary effects can include:

  • Redness
  • Swelling
  • Tenderness
  • Bruising
  • Small injection-site bumps

The appearance immediately following treatment depends partly on the product and injection technique used.

Your practitioner will explain what to expect before treatment.

Many skin-booster treatments are performed as an initial course followed by maintenance where appropriate.

The exact number of treatments and interval between them varies according to the product selected and your individual skin.

We will recommend a treatment programme following assessment rather than applying the same schedule to every patient.

Skin boosters are designed to create progressive improvements in skin quality rather than an immediate change in facial shape.

Patients may notice improvements in hydration, smoothness and overall skin appearance as treatment progresses.

Results and longevity vary between individuals and according to the product used.

Skin boosters can form part of a wider treatment programme.

Depending on your concerns, this might also include:

  • Medical-grade skincare
  • Chemical resurfacing
  • IPL
  • Microneedling
  • RF microneedling
  • Polynucleotides
  • Dermal fillers
  • Other appropriate treatments

For example, an energy-based treatment may be selected to address laxity or texture while an injectable treatment addresses hydration and skin quality.

Skin boosters are injectable medical aesthetic procedures and are not without risk.

Before treatment we will review your medical history, medications, allergies, previous treatments and goals.

Potential risks include bruising, swelling, infection and other product- or injection-specific complications.

Relevant risks, benefits, alternatives and aftercare will be discussed before you decide whether to proceed.

You do not need to choose between a skin booster, polynucleotide, filler or another skin treatment before booking.

We would rather understand what you want to improve first.

Your skin and facial anatomy can then be assessed and we can explain which treatment — or combination of treatments — is most appropriate for your individual needs.
