Skin Boosters Treatment
Deeply Hydrate and Rejuvenate Your Skin -at Our Hornchurch & Chelmsford Clinics
Skin boosters are a popular choice in today’s aesthetic treatment procedures which uses advanced injectable treatments that improve skin hydration, elasticity, and texture using hyaluronic acid for natural skin rejuvenation without adding volume. At our medical aesthetic clinic, every treatment is tailored to your individual skin needs following a detailed consultation.
By using Profhilo, Polynucleotide and Jalupro, we deliver natural-looking results that make your skin healthier, smoother, and revitalised with minimal downtime.
How Does Skin Booster Treatment Work?
Skin booster treatments work by injecting hyaluronic acid beneath the skin to deeply hydrate, improve elasticity, and enhance overall skin quality. Unlike dermal fillers, they do not add volume but instead stimulate the skin’s natural production of collagen and elastin. This helps improve the moisture, smoothness, and firmness, leaving the skin looking healthier, fresher, and more radiant over time.
Skin Booster Treatment At A Glance
What To Expect From Your Treatment
Treatment Time:
Approximately 30–45 minutes, depending on the area being treated and your individual treatment plan. During your consultation, your practitioner will advise the expected duration based on your skin concerns and treatment goals.
Recovery Time:
Minimal swelling or small injection marks may occur but typically settle within a few hours to 24 hours. Recovery time is minimal, allowing most patients to return to their normal daily activities easily.
Longevity:
Results typically last between 6–12 months, depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and the area treated. Regular maintenance treatments can help preserve skin rejuvenation and long-lasting radiance.
Pain level:
Most patients find the treatment a little uncomfortable, as it feels minimal discomfort during the treatment. A numbing cream is available before the procedure to help minimise discomfort and ensure a more relaxed treatment experience.
Results:
Natural Improvements in skin are typically fully visible within 4–6 weeks. The results develop gradually over the weeks as the skin becomes more hydrated and rejuvenated.
The Journey

Preparation
Before the procedure, the treatment area is thoroughly cleansed to maintain hygiene. A topical numbing cream may be applied if appropriate to enhance comfort during the treatment, and the practitioner will explain the process and aftercare instructions.
- 3
Treatment
Specialised injection technique, small amounts of the skin booster are carefully administered into the targeted areas. The procedure is designed to improved moisturized skin and overall skin quality.
- 4
Recovery
Following the treatment, you may experience mild redness, swelling, or small injection marks, which generally settle within a few days. Your practitioner will provide personalised aftercare advice, including guidance on skincare and activities to help support the recovery process.
Skin Booster Treatment Areas
Face:
Treatment is applied across the cheeks, forehead, and lower face to restore hydration and refine skin texture. The focus is on addressing dullness and early signs of ageing by improving skin quality at a deeper level, rather than adding volume or altering facial structure.
Treatment used: Profhilo, Polynucleotides, and Jalupro can all be used on the face, with the choice depending on your individual skin concerns. Profhilo acts as a bio-remodeller, using concentrated hyaluronic acid to firm and hydrate the skin. Polynucleotides take a regenerative approach, supporting the skin’s natural repair process. Jalupro combines hyaluronic acid with amino acids and tends to suit skin that looks tired or dehydrated.
Target concerns: Dullness, dehydration, fine lines, and early loss of firmness.
Results: A smoother, healthier-looking complexion with improved hydration, visible within a few weeks.


Eyes / Under Eye:
This is one of the most delicate areas of the face, with thin skin that’s often among the first to show fatigue and ageing. Treatment here is approached carefully, prioritising skin quality over any change in volume.
Treatment used: Jalupro and Polynucleotides are suited to this area, while Profhilo is generally avoided here, as its formulation is better suited to larger surface areas.
Target concerns: Crepiness, fine lines, and a tired or dull appearance around the eyes.
Results: A brighter, more rested look with improved texture in the under-eye area.
Scalp
Treatment targets hair thinning and mild hair loss, working beneath the surface to support the health of the follicles rather than the visible hair itself.
Treatment used: Polynucleotides are used for the scalp. By stimulating cellular repair and improving local blood flow, the treatment supports stronger follicles over time.
Target concerns: Hair thinning, mild hair loss, and reduced scalp vitality.
Results: Progressively stronger follicles, supporting fuller and healthier hair growth.


Neck
The neck often shows early signs of sagging and a crepey texture. Treatment here concentrates on rebuilding firmness and improving overall skin quality across the area.
Treatment used: Profhilo, Polynucleotides, and Jalupro can each be used on the neck, addressing it differently — Profhilo for firmness and hydration, Polynucleotides for deeper regeneration, and Jalupro for revitalising dull or dehydrated skin. Dr salim will recommend the right option, or combination, during consultation.
Target concerns: Sagging, crepey texture, and fine lines across the neck.
Results: A firmer, smoother profile with a gradual softening of visible lines
Hands:
Constant exposure to the sun and environment leaves the hands prone to dryness, thinning skin, and reduced elasticity. Treatment aims to rebuild moisture and support the skin’s underlying structure.
Treatment used: Profhilo and Jalupro are the traditional choices for hand rejuvenation. Polynucleotides may also be used, depending on individual skin needs.
Target concerns: Dryness, thinning skin, and loss of elasticity.
Results: Smoother, better-hydrated hands with a naturally youthful appearance.


Vampire Face Lift:
The Vampire Face Lift is not a hyaluronic acid or polynucleotide-based skin booster. It uses platelet-rich plasma, drawn from your own blood, processed, and reintroduced to support the skin’s natural healing and renewal. It may be considered as part of a personalised treatment plan for patients looking for a different approach to improving skin condition.
Treatment used: Platelet-rich plasma (PRP), obtained from a small blood sample taken during your appointment, rather than an injectable HA or polynucleotide product.
Target concerns: General loss of vitality, dullness, and reduced tone across the face, cheeks, under-eye, and neck.
Results: A gradual improvement in tone and texture as the treatment supports the body’s own repair processes, typically developing over 3–6 months.
Suitability: Because it works differently to Profhilo, Polynucleotides, and Jalupro, whether this is the right option for you is assessed individually during consultation.
Are Microneedling and Skin Boosters the Same?
Not exactly! Microneedling and skin boosters are different treatment approaches, although both can be used as part of a skin rejuvenation plan. Microneedling uses controlled micro-injuries to encourage the skin’s natural renewal process, while skin boosters involve the delivery of specific ingredients into the skin to support hydration and overall skin quality. The best option depends on your skin concerns,
goals, and suitability.
