Injectable Treatments
Skin Boosters
Injectable hydration treatments that work beneath the skin's surface — restoring moisture, improving elasticity and leaving your complexion visibly plumper and more radiant.
About the Treatment
What Are Skin Boosters?
Skin boosters are injectable treatments that deliver hyaluronic acid (HA) directly into the skin to deeply hydrate and improve skin quality from within. Unlike dermal fillers, which add volume and structure, skin boosters work by replenishing the skin's natural moisture reserves — improving texture, elasticity, and radiance without altering facial contours.
The most well-known skin booster is Profhilo — a highly concentrated, bio-remodelling HA treatment that spreads through the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production. Other options include Juvederm Volite and Restylane Skinboosters, each with slightly different formulations and techniques. At Clinic Visjeune, we will recommend the most appropriate product for your skin type and concerns.
Skin boosters are suitable for all skin types and are particularly popular for treating the face, neck, décolletage, and hands. They are an excellent option for clients who want to improve overall skin quality rather than address specific lines or volume loss.
The Process
How It Works
Consultation
We begin with a thorough skin assessment to understand your concerns, medical history, and goals. This allows us to select the most appropriate skin booster product and design a personalised treatment plan.
Preparation
The treatment area is cleansed and a topical numbing cream may be applied to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
Injection
The skin booster is administered using a series of small injections across the treatment area. The technique varies slightly depending on the product used — some are injected at multiple points, others are spread more evenly through the tissue.
Aftercare
You may notice small bumps or mild redness at the injection sites immediately after treatment — this is normal and typically resolves within 24–48 hours. We will provide full aftercare guidance to support your results.
Course of Treatments
For optimal results, most skin boosters require an initial course of 2–3 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart, followed by maintenance treatments every 6–12 months.

Fine Lines & Crepey Skin
Improves skin texture and reduces the appearance of fine lines caused by dehydration and loss of elasticity.
Loss of Elasticity

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between skin boosters and dermal fillers?
Dermal fillers add volume and structure to specific areas of the face — such as the lips, cheeks, or jawline. Skin boosters, by contrast, are designed to improve overall skin quality. They spread through the tissue to deeply hydrate, stimulate collagen, and improve elasticity without adding volume or altering facial contours. They are complementary treatments and can be used together.
What is Profhilo?
Profhilo is a highly concentrated hyaluronic acid treatment that is injected at specific points on the face (or other areas) and spreads through the tissue to bio-remodel the skin. It stimulates four different types of collagen and elastin, making it one of the most effective skin quality treatments available. It is not a filler and does not add volume.
How many sessions will I need?
Most skin boosters require an initial course of 2–3 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart to achieve optimal results. Profhilo, for example, is typically given as 2 sessions one month apart. Maintenance treatments every 6–12 months are recommended to sustain the benefits.
When will I see results?
Many clients notice an improvement in skin hydration and radiance within 2–4 weeks of their first session. The full benefit of a course of treatment is typically seen 4–8 weeks after the final session, as collagen and elastin production continues to improve.
Is the treatment painful?
Most clients find skin booster treatments very comfortable. A topical numbing cream can be applied beforehand to minimise any discomfort. The needles used are very fine, and the procedure is generally quick and well-tolerated.
Is there any downtime?
There is minimal downtime. You may experience small bumps, mild redness, or bruising at the injection sites immediately after treatment — these typically resolve within 24–48 hours. Most clients return to normal activities the same day.
Who is suitable for skin boosters?
Skin boosters are suitable for most adults looking to improve skin hydration, texture, and quality. They are particularly popular for clients in their 30s and above who are noticing early signs of dehydration or loss of elasticity. A consultation is required to confirm suitability.
