I know I’m not alone in always looking for the secret to looking young without drastic surgery.
I’m lucky… I get to investigate all of the New advanced treatments that are always emerging with anti-ageing promises, and skin boosters are now top of the list.
You may have heard of them yourself. Treatments like Profhilo and Jalupro are skin boosters. But what exactly is a skin booster treatment? And how does it work?
It’s a gel like solution which is delivered into the skin through a series of tiny injections. They are made of hylauronic acid (an ingredient already found in your skin).
A booster involves lots of micro injections scattered across the face. You can choose a large area of your face or just single areas, such as your cheeks, eyes, around your mouth, neck or even your hands or body areas.
I’m now offering two of the best skin boosters on the market.
Profhilo – we map out 5 points on either side of the lower face using the ‘BAP’ technique. This targets your cheeks and lower face.
Jalupro – we carry out lots more injections all over a specific area. You choose the area you want to focus on eg. cheeks, neck, around your eyes or around your mouth to improve ‘bar code lines’.
Skin boosters increase the water content of the skin because hylauronic acid attracts 1000 times its weight in water. This makes the skin super hydrated and brighter.
In addition …. And this is the clever bit… skin boosters have a ‘bio-remodelling effect’ as well, which means they make your skin improve from the inside out.

The hyaluronic acid which is slowly released into the skin, causes a chain reaction of events. Your skin starts working harder and produces more collagen and elastin. These substances make your skin firmer and smoother, and therefore more youthful. Overall a booster will make you look fresher, brighter, and with smoother firmer skin. Even though this treatment involves lots of tiny injections, in general it’s a safer treatment than a dermal filler. That’s because the solution is very thin and cannot cause the blockage of a blood vessel (known as a vascular occlusion). You may get some swelling. For example with Profhilo you can expect a raised bump, a bit like a bee sting which can last for a few hours. You can also get some swelling around the eyes, especially if you are prone to puffiness in this area. This is fleeting and is usually gone within 48 hours. With Jalupro which require more injections across the areas of concern, you can get a little bit of marking on the day. Most boosters are designed to be carried out in a package of 2 or 3 sessions. The full improvement can take around 4 to 6 weeks, and the results of a skin booster should last up to 6 months. After that time you can repeat the process or just continually ‘top up’ your skin with individual treatments at 6 month intervals. In my opinion skin boosters are perfect for those people who don’t want to look like they’ve had anything done! If you want to just look fresher and a little younger then it’s a great choice. There’s a definite trend away from cosmetic surgery and false looking youth. Skin Boosters provide quick results with very minimal downtime (you could get bruising as I say… depending on the area). Best of all you’ll look like a fresher, slightly younger version of yourself.
