How do Skin Boosters work?
The treatment involves a series of small, superficial injections into the upper layers of the skin. Skin Boosters contain hyaluronic acid (HA) along with a blend of skin-revitalising ingredients designed to improve hydration, radiance, and overall skin quality.
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body that attracts and retains moisture, helping to keep the skin hydrated, plump, and healthy-looking. As we age, natural HA levels gradually decline, which can contribute to dryness and loss of skin vitality.
By replenishing HA directly within the skin, Skin Boosters help draw and retain moisture, providing deep hydration from within. This results in smoother, fresher, and more radiant-looking skin with improved texture and elasticity.
Benefits of Skin Boosters
- Intense hydration for smoother, softer skin
- Improved skin texture and quality
- Enhanced radiance and glow

Your Skin Booster Treatment Experience
CONSULTATION
A comprehensive consultation with Dr Crofts will be carried out to assess your skin concerns, discuss your aesthetic goals, and determine whether Skin Boosters are the most suitable treatment for you. During your consultation, the procedure will be explained in detail, including how Skin Boosters work, the expected results, the recommended treatment plan, and any potential side effects or risks.
Dr Crofts will create a personalised treatment plan tailored to your skin’s individual needs, helping you achieve a healthier, more hydrated, and radiant complexion.
TREATMENT
A series of small, carefully placed injections will be administered to deliver hyaluronic acid directly into the skin, providing deep hydration and improving overall skin quality. Using a very fine needle, the Skin Booster is evenly distributed across the treatment area to enhance moisture levels, improve texture, and restore a healthy, radiant glow.
Most patients find the treatment comfortable, with minimal downtime, allowing them to return to their normal activities shortly afterwards.
For optimal results, a course of three Skin Booster treatments is recommended, with each session spaced approximately four weeks apart. This allows hydration levels to build progressively within the skin, improving overall skin quality, radiance, and long-term results.
AFTERCARE
Following your Skin Booster treatment, we recommend avoiding touching or applying pressure to the treated areas for at least 24 hours. To support the healing process and achieve the best possible results, you should also avoid strenuous exercise, excessive heat, saunas, steam rooms, swimming pools, and direct sun exposure for the first 24–48 hours.
Mild redness, swelling, tenderness, or small bumps at the injection sites are common and usually resolve within a few days. Please follow the full aftercare instructions provided by our Doctor to ensure optimal results and recovery.

FAQs
For more general enquiries, please take a look at some of our frequently asked questions.
ARE SKIN BOOSTERS RIGHT FOR ME?
Skin boosters can be a great option if you’re looking to improve your skin’s hydration, elasticity, and overall radiance without adding significant volume. They’re particularly effective for enhancing skin texture, reducing fine lines, and achieving a dewy, glowing complexion. However, they aren’t a substitute for dermal fillers, and optimal results require multiple treatments. To discuss your specific needs with an expert, book a consultation with Dr Perry Crofts.
WHO ARE SKIN BOOSTERS NOT SUITABLE FOR?
Individuals with certain conditions like active skin infections, allergies to Hyaluronic Acid, or bleeding disorders may not be suitable candidates.
IS THERE ANY DOWNTIME?
With this treatment,downtime is minimal. After the treatment, you will have a series of small bumps at the injection points which reduce usually within a few hours after treatment.
HOW LONG DOES THE TREATMENT TAKE TO WORK?
Skin Boosters are usually recommended in sessions of 3, one a month, and full results can beseen after around 4 weeks. After this time, you can repeat the treatment, or keep your skin replenished and ‘topped-up’ by having an individual treatment every 3-6 months.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SKIN BOOSTERS AND DERMAL FILLERS?
Dermal Fillers aim to restore lost volume, contour and lift features, as well as slightly alter them. In contrast to fillers,Skin Boosters can be superficially injected throughout the face to effectively hydrate the skin and address specific areas that are prone to dehydration due to aging and skin dryness. Although they are both made primarily of Hyaluronic Acid, the consistency ofDermal Fillers is thicker than that ofSkin Boosters and it is injected at a deeper level. If you are wanting an overall ‘boost’ in your skin rather than added volume to a specific area,Skin Boosters will be your best friend!
HOW DO YOU PREPARE FOR SKIN BOOSTERS?
Avoid retinols, BHA’s & AHA’s for 2 days pre treatment. Avoid alcohol comsumption 24hrs pre and post treatment. Avoid sunbeds 1 week pre and post treatment. Arrive to your appointment makeup-free.
