About this procedure
Skin boosters (like Rejuran, Profhilo, or hyaluronic acid-based injectables) are different from fillers — instead of adding volume/shape, they focus on improving the quality and health of the skin itself by hydrating it deeply and stimulating collagen from within.
What it is
Skin boosters are micro-injections of hyaluronic acid (or similar hydrating/collagen-stimulating substances) delivered into the superficial layers of the skin — not to add volume or change shape like fillers, but to improve the skin’s hydration, texture, and elasticity from within.
How the procedure works
Step-by-step procedure
- 1
Consultation & skin assessment — The practitioner examines your skin condition (hydration level, fine lines, texture, elasticity) and discusses your goals to choose the right product and treatment plan.
- 2
Cleansing — The treatment area (commonly face, neck, or hands) is thoroughly cleansed to reduce infection risk.
- 3
Numbing (optional) — A topical numbing cream may be applied for 15–20 minutes beforehand, since multiple small injections can cause mild discomfort.
- 4
Injection technique — Using a very fine needle or micro-cannula, the practitioner makes a series of small, shallow injections across the treatment area:
- Injections are placed in a grid-like pattern just under the skin surface (dermis)
- The product disperses evenly under the skin rather than sitting as a single bolus (unlike fillers)
- Sometimes a micro-droplet technique is used — many tiny deposits rather than a few larger ones, for even hydration
- 5
Massage — After injections, the area is gently massaged to help distribute the product evenly under the skin.
- 6
Aftercare instructions given — Cooling gel or ice may be applied to reduce swelling; you’ll get instructions on what to avoid for the next day or two.
What happens afterward
Immediately: small bumps where injected (these settle within hours), mild redness
First 1–2 days: possible minor bruising or swelling at injection sites
1–2 weeks: skin starts to look more hydrated and smooth as the product integrates
Over following weeks/months: collagen-stimulating boosters (like Rejuran or Profhilo) continue working, gradually improving texture and elasticity
Typical treatment plan
Often done as a course of 2–3 sessions, spaced about 2–4 weeks apart
Results from a course can last several months to about a year, depending on the product
Many people repeat treatments every 6–12 months to maintain results
Benefits
Skin Boosters — Benefits
Deep hydration — delivers moisture directly into the skin layers, improving plumpness from within
Improved skin texture — smoother, softer skin over time
Reduced fine lines — especially fine, crepey lines (not deep wrinkles, which need fillers/Botox instead)
Boosted collagen production — many boosters stimulate your skin’s own collagen and elastin over weeks to months
Enhanced radiance/glow — skin often looks brighter and more "alive"
