Skin Booster Treatments

Skin Boosters are a category of injectable treatments designed to deliver deep hydration and improve overall skin quality, texture, and elasticity, resulting in a natural, radiant glow. Unlike traditional dermal fillers that focus on adding volume, skin boosters work by replenishing Hyaluronic Acid (HA) or stimulating the skin's own regenerative processes.

At PRP London Clinic, Dr. Hans provides a selection of the industry's leading skin booster treatments, each with unique properties, to address various skin concerns. Explore the options below, including Profhilo®, Seventy Hyal®, Sunekos®, and Jalupro®. A consultation with Dr. Hans will determine the most appropriate choice for your individual skin needs.

Most skin boosters utilise Hyaluronic Acid (HA), a substance naturally found in the skin responsible for hydration and plumpness. When injected in specific formulations (often less cross-linked than volumising fillers), they work by:

• Intense Hydration: Directly delivering HA deep into the skin layers, binding water and providing significant hydration.
• Bioremodelling/Biostimulation: Some boosters (like Profhilo, or those with amino acids like Sunekos/Jalupro) also stimulate fibroblasts to produce more collagen and elastin over time, improving skin structure and elasticity.
• Improved Texture & Radiance: Increased hydration and subtle collagen stimulation lead to smoother texture and a healthy glow.

The result is healthier, dewier, more resilient skin with improved luminosity.

Dr. Hans offers several leading skin boosters, allowing for tailored treatment. The choice of product is based on a thorough consultation and assessment of your specific skin needs:

Specific treatment costs will be discussed during your consultation with Dr. Hans once a personalised plan is developed.

Regardless of the brand chosen, the procedure generally involves:

1. Consultation: Dr. Hans assesses your skin quality, discusses your goals, and recommends the most suitable skin booster(s) for you.
2. Preparation: The skin is cleansed, and topical numbing cream is applied for 20-30 minutes to ensure comfort.
3. Injection: Dr. Hans administers the chosen product using specific techniques. This might involve the BAP technique (5 specific points per side) for Profhilo, or multiple small micro-bolus injections across the treatment area (face, neck, hands) for other boosters.
4. Completion: Small bumps or 'blebs' at the injection sites are common, especially with HA boosters, and typically settle within hours to 1-2 days.

The procedure itself usually takes 30-45 minutes.

Skin boosters provide gradual improvement:

• Immediate-Short Term (Days-Weeks): Increased hydration and skin plumpness are often noticed first. Small injection bumps subside.
• Medium Term (Weeks-Months): Improvements in skin texture, elasticity, fine lines, and overall radiance become more apparent as the products stimulate the skin.
• Optimal Results: Usually seen after completing the recommended course (typically 2-3 initial sessions for most boosters).

Results typically last 6-9 months, with maintenance sessions recommended to sustain skin health and hydration.

Skin boosters are excellent for almost anyone looking to improve their skin's overall health, hydration, and quality, regardless of age. They are particularly beneficial for:

• Dehydrated or dry skin.
• Dull or lacklustre complexions.
• Fine lines and early wrinkles.
• Loss of elasticity and firmness.
• Improving skin texture.
• Preventative anti-ageing.
• Complementing other aesthetic treatments.

Skin booster treatments using HA or HA with amino acids are very safe. The main component (HA) is biocompatible. Common side effects are mild and temporary, including redness, swelling, bruising, and small bumps at injection sites.
