What are skin booster?
Skin boosters have become very popular in the aesthetics world owing to their ability to provide a glowing complexion and enhance the overall quality of the skin. Although there are a variety of different brands available, the basic concept is the same. Skin boosters are composed of a high concentration of hyaluronic acid (HA), which is naturally produced by our bodies and helps to maintain moisture levels within our skin. As we age, our HA stores decrease by approximately 1% each year after the age of 30, leading to the development of fine lines and a loss of volume. By injecting HA into the skin in the form of skin boosters, we can significantly boost hydration levels, which can improve skin tone, texture, firmness, and even reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
What are the benefits of skin boosters?
Skin boosters are a great way to enhance the appearance and quality of your skin. They have several benefits, including
a radiant and glowing complexion
improved skin tone and texture
firmer skin
reduction of fine lines and wrinkles
reduction of dry, crepey skin
tighter and lifted skin
fighting signs of ageing
better hydration
improved appearance of dark circles
stimulation of collagen and elastin production for healthier skin
They can be used to treat the face, hands, neck, and chest/décolletage. Additionally, skin boosters are a quick treatment with minimal downtime, suitable for anyone. Unlike topical skincare products that only work on the surface, skin boosters can treat the skin at its core and deliver powerful ingredients where they are needed the most.
How long do the results from skin boosters last?
If you're trying skin boosters for the first time, we recommend getting 2-3 treatments that are spaced 4 weeks apart. Once you've completed these initial treatments, you can expect your results to last for 6-9 months. After that period, you can receive a single treatment to maintain your results and ensure that your skin remains glowing and hydrated all year round.

Are the results from skin boosters immediate?
The results from skin boosters can take a few days to a few weeks to show. Right after your treatment, you may experience some redness at the injection sites and small bumps where the hyaluronic acid has been injected. These bumps look similar to insect bites, but they usually disappear within a few hours as the product disperses under your skin.
Are skin boosters the same as dermal fillers?
Both skin boosters and dermal fillers are made from hyaluronic acid, but they are formulated differently and serve different purposes. Dermal filler is thicker and more stable due to cross-linking, which allows us to add volume, fill lines, wrinkles, contour the face and lift and define facial features.
On the other hand, skin boosters are not cross-linked, which makes them easier to spread in the skin and deliver hydration, plumping the skin from within. Skin boosters are an excellent choice for those who want to achieve a more youthful appearance without altering their facial features. However, when used in combination with dermal fillers, it can yield even better results. Moreover, skin boosters can also be used to treat areas such as the neck, chest, and hands, providing a total anti-aging effect.
Are there any side effects?
Skin boosters are a safe and effective treatment with minimal downtime. However, like any injectable treatment, you may experience some swelling, bruising, and redness at the injection site. If you wish, you can use arnica gel to relieve these symptoms. It's normal to develop small bumps at the injection site, but they usually disappear within a few hours as the product disperses into the skin.
Here are a few things to avoid after your skin booster treatment to ensure the best results:
refrain from touching the treated area for at least 6 hours after the treatment.
avoid applying makeup to the treated area for 24 hours.
refrain from heavy exercise for 24 hours.
avoid facials, sunbeds, chemical peels, saunas, and swimming for 2 weeks after the treatment.
How much do skin boosters cost?
The price for skin boosters will vary depending on what brand of skin booster you choose. We offer 5 different brands at Cosmetica Medical, ranging from £125 to £230. The best way to save on your skin booster treatments is to book and pay for a course of treatments. Please see our price list for more information.
Are skin boosters painful?
As with any injectable treatment you may experience minor discomfort but the treatment is very quick and numbing cream is available should you wish to use it at your appointment.
