Skin boosters improve skin quality and texture, making it more hydrated, plump and translucent. They are said to moisturize the skin from within. They give benefits beyond improving the outer skin mantle.

Skin Boosters
What are Skin Boosters?
They are injections that come as pre-filled syringes of hyaluronic acid or as mesotherapy products that can be electroporated (delivered into the skin with a probe without injecting). The syringes usually contain 1-2 ml of product, depending on the brand. The number of syringes needed depends on the area to be treated. Skin boosting is not just done for the face but also for the body.
Product Used in Skin Booster
The product used is mainly hyaluronic acid; however, lately, polydeoxyribonucleotide boosters obtained from salmon trout are also being used.
- The hyaluronic acid in the syringes is the product that boosts the skin to lock in moisture or produce collagen.
- They differ from fillers as they are not made as robust gels and can be injected into the layers of the skin to give maximum benefit to the skin texture.
- Hyaluronic acid is a completely safe product that is naturally present in the body. It absorbs about 1000 times its weight of water.
Mechanism of Action
Since hyaluronic acid attracts water, it causes intense moisturization of the skin. It also stimulates the fibroblast cells in the skin to produce more collagen and elastin, thus making the skin more youthful and resilient. Some examples of boosters in the market are Res-ty-la-ne vital®, Volite®, Profhilo®, Nucleoskin®, Saypha Rich®, and many more.
Conditions that can be Treated by Skin Boosters
Indications for the need of skin boosters:
- Dull skin
- Dry skin
- Fine lines
- Under eye dark circles
- Lip hydration and brightening
- Even skin tone
- Open pores
- Hand rejuvenation
- Neck wrinkling and creepiness
- Stretch marks
- Body contouring (Collagen stimulating boosters are used)
What is the Procedure Followed in Skin Boosters?
The procedure is simple and takes around 45 minutes to 1 hour. The face is numbed with an anesthesia cream for a painless experience for around 30-40 min. The doctor then injects the product into the targeted areas of the skin. There may be a slight burning or pain while injecting, but this is temporary.
What to Expect Post-procedure of Skin Boosters?
There may be slight lumps, which go away in a few hours. Redness of the skin may occur in some people. There may be a bruise that occurs while injecting. Bruising is temporary and goes away in 5-7 days. There is usually no other discomfort post-procedure.
When do the Skin Boosters Results Start to Show?
Results kick in pretty soon, though they may vary from 2-7 days. They improve with time. Collagen production begins to occur in three weeks at maximum.
Is the Skin Boosters Treatment Temporary?
Ideally, each company has a protocol for injection scheduling that needs to be followed. However, the dermatologist can tweak the same and decide when to repeat the session. Usually, two treatments are done a month apart and a third after six months.
Can Skin Boosters be used for the Lips and Eyes?
If the dermatologist is an expert injector, boosters can be injected around the eyes to brighten them, lighten dark circles and fill a small tear trough. However, in the lips, they are used to give subtle volume and hydrate them.
What are the Side effects and complications of Skin Boosters?
Following are the some side effects and complications related to skin boosters:
- Slight pain
- Bruising
- Visible lumps (If the technique is incorrect)
- Skin necrosis (if the injector is not skilled in the procedure)
- Allergic reaction to the product (which can be treated by your dermatologist)
These side-effects can be minimized if the procedure is done by a skilled dermatologist.
