About Skin Boosters
Skin boosters are an anti-ageing treatment that injects a natural sugar into the skin to add hydration and plumpness to the skin. Treatments provide clinically proven dermal hydration for up to 9 months after only one treatment. This is better than any serum on the market.
The active component of skin boosters are found naturally in the skin and can hold 1000 times its weight in water, providing the highest level of skin hydration. As we age the levels of this sugar begin to deplete and skin becomes drier and develops fine lines. By adding this sugar back into the skin we are able to bring skin back to a more youthful complexion.
Benefits
- Skin quality and brightness: a unique treatment that deeply penetrates the skin to refresh and rejuvenate
- Effective: only one treatment is enough to achieve significant change and visible results in skin quality
- Long-lasting: one treatment lasts up to 9 months
- Versatility: this treatment is suitable for face, neck, décolletage and hands of all skin types
- Safe: skin boosters are a natural sugar produced in our skin
The Procedure
Prior to the procedure being performed topical numbing cream is applied to the area. Small injections spaced 1cm apart are performed in the skin.
This procedure compliments any of the dermal filler procedures by addressing skin texture and appearance. It can be performed anywhere and is commonly performed across the entire face, neck & décolletage, but can be focused around the eyes to address fine wrinkles.
Skin boosters are particularly popular among frequent travellers or flight attendants who are exposed to dry cabin air on aeroplanes.
Pricing
Pricing for Lip Fillers varies based on individual needs, as the required dosages differ. Prices start at $650.
Suitable candidates for the treatment
Suitable candidates for skin boosters are those who want to hydrate and smoothen the skin, achieving a brighter, plumper appearance, with fewer noticeable fine lines and wrinkles.
Ideal candidates should always have realistic expectations for the results of the treatment. You’ll be able to discuss your goals and expectations during a consultation, to help determine if the treatment is the right choice for you.
Those with particularly dry skin from frequently being in environments with dry air can benefit from skin boosters. Frequent travellers and flight attendants may greatly benefit from the hydrating benefits of the treatment.
Recovery and aftercare
Treatment with skin boosters involves little to no downtime, but some minor swelling and redness can be noticed in the treated area. Minor side effects should subside within about one to two days. Swelling and any discomfort can usually be managed with gentle, cold compress.
After your treatment, you should avoid strenuous workouts for the next 24 hours, to keep the area clean and free from irritation. You will also need to avoid exposing the treated area to excessive sunlight for one to two days.
To help maintain your results, we recommend using high-quality skincare products in a skincare routine that suits your skin’s needs. Our team members can make personalised recommendations during your consultation.

Possible side effects
Potential side effects are quite minimal for skin boosters, with minor swelling, redness and discomfort being temporary side effects that should subside shortly after treatment. In rare cases, allergic reactions or injections can occur, but these complications can be prevented by thoroughly assessing your suitability for treatment and by following aftercare instructions.
