Skin boosters are injectable hyaluronic acid preparations designed to hydrate and improve skin quality rather than add volume. They increase elasticity, soften fine lines and give the smooth, reflective quality often described as glass skin.
De quoi s’agit-il
- Unlike structural filler, skin boosters use lightly stabilised or non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid placed in small deposits through the treatment zone.
- The hyaluronic acid attracts water and stimulates fibroblasts, improving hydration, elasticity and light reflection.
À qui cela s’adresse
- Dehydrated, dull or crepey skin on the face, neck, décolleté or hands
- Fine lines around the mouth and eyes that do not need filler
- Post-acne texture and enlarged-looking pores
- Patients who want improvement without any change in facial shape

Questions sur ce traitement
Will skin boosters change my face shape?
No. They hydrate and improve skin quality without adding structural volume.
Can I have them with botox and filler?
Yes. Skin boosters treat skin quality, toxin treats movement and filler treats volume — they are complementary.
How long do the small bumps last?
Usually 12–24 hours, depending on the product and area.
