Skin boosters are deep hydration treatments designed to improve skin quality from within without changing facial shape or structure.
They work by delivering hyaluronic acid into the skin to improve hydration, elasticity, firmness, and overall radiance over time.
Unlike dermal fillers, skin boosters do not add volume or alter facial contours, making them suitable for clients who want natural skin improvement rather than visible enhancement.
At elixir medical, skin booster treatments include options such as Profhilo, Restylane Skinboosters, and Seventy Hyal, with the most appropriate product selected following consultation.
Skin boosters are commonly used to improve dull or dehydrated skin, fine lines, loss of elasticity, uneven texture, and general skin fatigue.
They can be used on the face, neck, décolletage, and hands, or any area where skin quality has declined.
Every appointment begins with a consultation where we assess your skin, discuss your concerns, review your medical history, and confirm that a skin booster treatment is right for you.
This assessment is important, as different products and techniques are used depending on skin condition, treatment area, and desired outcome.
Once your treatment plan is agreed, the area is cleansed and prepared.
The product is then administered using a series of small, precise injections placed into the skin.
Most clients describe the sensation as mild, with some areas feeling slightly more sensitive than others.
Treatment time is typically around 30 minutes.
After treatment, you may notice mild redness, swelling, or small bumps at the injection sites.
These effects are expected and usually settle within 24 to 48 hours.
Downtime is minimal, and most clients return to normal activities shortly after treatment.
Results develop gradually over 1 to 4 weeks as hydration improves and collagen and elastin production are stimulated.
For optimal results, a course of treatments may be recommended, and this will be discussed clearly so you understand the expected timeline.
Aftercare advice will be provided in full and usually includes avoiding strenuous exercise, excessive heat, and pressure on the treated areas for the first 24 hours.
Skin boosters are a medical treatment and suitability is always assessed.
Treatment may not be appropriate if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have certain medical or skin conditions, and this will always be discussed openly during consultation.
Our approach is conservative and focused on improving skin quality in a natural, subtle way rather than creating obvious or artificial changes.
If you would like to discuss whether skin boosters are right for you, a consultation allows us to talk everything through calmly and honestly before treatment.
