Skin boosters are injectable treatments designed to improve skin quality from within. Rather than adding volume like traditional dermal fillers, skin boosters deliver deep hydration and stimulate collagen production to improve skin texture, elasticity and overall skin health.
At Alpha Hospital Group, we offer advanced skin booster treatments across our clinics to help restore radiance, reduce fine lines and improve the appearance of tired, ageing skin. Suitable for the face, neck, décolletage and hands, skin boosters provide subtle, natural-looking rejuvenation with little downtime.
Profhilo is a revolutionary injectable skin remodelling treatment containing one of the highest concentrations of hyaluronic acid available. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, Profhilo spreads beneath the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production while delivering intense hydration. It is ideal for improving skin laxity, restoring firmness and creating a fresher, more youthful appearance.
Benefits include:
Skinvive is an innovative injectable treatment that improves skin hydration, smoothness and overall skin quality. It is ideal for patients looking to achieve healthy, glowing skin without changing their facial shape or adding volume.
Benefits include:
Polynucleotides are regenerative injectable treatments that encourage the skin to repair itself by stimulating collagen and elastin production. They are particularly effective for improving skin quality, reducing crepey skin and rejuvenating delicate areas such as under the eyes.
Benefits include:
Radiesse is an injectable collagen biostimulator containing calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA). Unlike traditional hyaluronic acid dermal fillers, Radiesse is particularly valued for its ability to stimulate the body’s natural production of collagen.
It can provide some immediate structural support while encouraging longer-term collagen production, helping to improve skin firmness, elasticity and definition. Radiesse can be used in selected areas of the face, neck and hands depending on the individual’s anatomy, skin quality and treatment goals.
Benefits include:
Skin boosters are suitable for most adults who want to improve skin hydration, texture and overall quality. They are ideal if you have dull, dehydrated or ageing skin and want natural-looking rejuvenation without adding volume. A consultation with one of our experienced practitioners will determine the most suitable treatment for your concerns.
Although all three treatments improve skin quality, they work in different ways.
Treatment plans vary depending on the product used and your individual skin needs.
Many patients notice improved hydration and skin quality within a few weeks. Collagen stimulation develops gradually, with optimal results typically seen between four and twelve weeks depending on the treatment.
Results vary between treatments and individuals.
Most patients experience only mild discomfort. Very fine needles are used and topical anaesthetic can be applied where appropriate to maximise comfort.
There is minimal downtime following skin booster treatments. You may experience mild redness, swelling or small injection marks, which usually settle within 24 to 48 hours. Most patients can return to normal activities the same day.
When performed by qualified medical professionals, skin boosters are considered safe and effective. At Alpha Hospital Group, all injectable treatments are carried out by experienced clinicians following a thorough consultation.
Skin boosters can be used on a variety of areas including:
Yes. Skin boosters are often combined with anti-wrinkle injections, dermal fillers, microneedling or laser treatments as part of a personalised skin rejuvenation plan. Your practitioner will advise on the safest and most effective treatment combination for your goals.
Radiesse is more accurately described as an injectable collagen biostimulator rather than a conventional skin booster. It is included within our Skin Boosters section because it is used for injectable skin rejuvenation and can improve skin quality, firmness and elasticity through collagen stimulation.
Traditional dermal fillers, particularly hyaluronic acid fillers, are primarily used to restore or enhance volume and definition. Radiesse can provide some structural support but is particularly valued for stimulating collagen production. Your practitioner will recommend the most appropriate treatment depending on whether your primary concern is volume, definition, skin quality or collagen loss.
The duration of Radiesse results varies between individuals and depends on factors such as the treatment area, amount used and individual response. Because Radiesse stimulates collagen production, its effects can develop progressively rather than simply relying on the initial injectable product. Your practitioner will discuss expected longevity and whether maintenance treatment may be appropriate.
