Who Can Benefit
Fine lines often come from dehydration and thinning skin rather than muscle movement. Skin boosters hydrate the skin and stimulate collagen and elastin, so fine lines soften and the skin looks firmer and smoother. Profhilo suits crepey or lax skin, Juvelook builds collagen, and Skinvive adds hydration and glow.
- Fine lines on the cheeks, around the eyes or on the neck
- Crepey, thin or dehydrated skin
- Patients in their 30s and 40s who want prevention as well as improvement
- Patients who want a natural result without changing their features
Lines that appear when you frown or smile respond better to wrinkle relaxers, and deep folds to dermal fillers. We will tell you honestly which approach suits your lines.
We postpone treatment during pregnancy and breastfeeding, with an active infection in the treatment area, or with a known allergy to any ingredient.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are skin boosters the same as wrinkle relaxers?
No. Wrinkle relaxers soften lines caused by muscle movement. Boosters improve the skin itself: hydration, firmness and fine texture. Many patients have both.
Will boosters change how my face looks?
No. They do not add volume or alter your features. Skin simply looks smoother and better rested.
How many sessions will I need?
Usually 3 to 5, spaced about 4 weeks apart, then maintenance.
When will I see results?
Hydration improves within a week. Firmness and fine lines improve gradually over 1 to 3 months.
How long do results last?
Typically 6 to 12 months, depending on age, the booster used and aftercare.
Is there downtime?
Small bumps at the injection points usually settle within 24 to 48 hours. Mild bruising is possible.
Skin boosters also treat other skin concerns. See the full overview on our Skin Boosters page.
