Skin Booster Treatments in Liverpool

Overview

What are skin boosters?

Skin boosters are injectable treatments that improve the quality of your skin, including hydration, elasticity, firmness and glow, rather than adding volume or changing your contours. They are delivered as many small injections spread across an area, where they hydrate the skin and encourage it to produce more of its own collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid, a process often called bio-remodelling.

They work differently to dermal fillers, which add volume and reshape, and to anti-wrinkle injections, which relax muscles. Skin boosters do neither. They simply improve the health and appearance of the skin itself.

It is worth being clear about one thing: skin boosters such as Profhilo, polynucleotides and hyaluronic acid boosters are CE or UKCA marked medical devices, not prescription-only medicines. Your treatment is still carried out by a registered nurse prescriber, whose value here is proper assessment, technique and clinical governance.

What we treat

Skin boosters can help with:

• Skin hydration and a smoother, more radiant look
• Fine lines and mild skin crepiness (softening, not removal)
• Mild loss of firmness and skin quality
• The under-eye area, with certain products, assessed case by case

Results are gradual and build over several weeks, and they are subtle rather than dramatic. The products we may use include Profhilo (a bio-remodelling hyaluronic acid), polynucleotides (bio-stimulators, sometimes described as salmon-DNA based, which use refined DNA fragments), and hyaluronic acid microinjection boosters. Your plan is agreed at consultation.

Who it's for

Skin boosters suit adults who want healthier, better-hydrated skin and understand that results build gradually and need maintenance.

They are not right for everyone. As a precaution we do not treat during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and there are cautions around allergies (including fish allergy for polynucleotides), active skin infections, a tendency to keloid scarring, certain autoimmune conditions and blood-thinning medication, among others. As a conservative position we also do not provide cosmetic injectables to under-18s. Your prescriber confirms your suitability at consultation.

Our approach

We start with a face-to-face consultation and skin assessment, so your treatment is planned around your skin rather than a fixed template. Skin boosters are delivered as many superficial micro-injections using a defined technique, and sessions are usually short.

Because these treatments work by bio-remodelling, we plan them as a considered course with maintenance, and we will only recommend what your skin actually needs.
