Skin boosters are minimally invasive injectable treatments designed to improve skin hydration, texture, and overall quality from within. Unlike dermal fillers that add volume or change facial contours, skin boosters work by delivering hyaluronic acid directly into the dermal layer of your skin.

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in your body responsible for maintaining moisture and promoting skin elasticity. However, as we age, our natural HA levels decline, leading to dryness, dullness, fine lines, and loss of firmness.

Skin booster injections replenish this lost hyaluronic acid, attracting and binding water molecules to deeply hydrate your skin. This triggers your skin's natural repair mechanisms, stimulating collagen and elastin production over time. The result is smoother, plumper, more radiant skin that looks refreshed rather than altered.

Hyaluronic Acid Skin Boosters

The most popular type, these use pure or minimally cross-linked hyaluronic acid to provide deep hydration and improve skin texture. They work by attracting moisture to the skin cells and stimulating natural collagen production.

Profhilo

A unique bio-remodelling treatment containing one of the highest concentrations of hyaluronic acid available. Profhilo spreads beneath the skin to hydrate while simultaneously stimulating collagen and elastin production, making it ideal for treating skin laxity alongside hydration concerns.

PDRN/Salmon DNA Boosters

These contain polynucleotides derived from salmon DNA that promote cellular repair and regeneration. They're particularly effective for improving skin elasticity, reducing pigmentation, and healing damaged skin tissue.

Combination Boosters

Some treatments combine hyaluronic acid with vitamins, amino acids, antioxidants, and minerals to provide comprehensive nourishment alongside hydration. These address multiple skin concerns in a single treatment.

Skin booster treatment is ideal if you're:

• Experiencing dull, tired-looking skin that lacks radiance
• Noticing early signs of ageing like fine lines and loss of elasticity
• Dealing with dehydrated skin that doesn't respond well to topical products
• Looking for a non-surgical approach to skin rejuvenation
• Wanting to maintain healthy, youthful skin as a preventive measure
• Preparing for a special occasion and want that natural glow
• Seeking subtle improvements rather than dramatic changes

Skin boosters work well for all skin types and are suitable for both men and women, typically recommended for those aged 25 and above who want to maintain or restore their skin's natural hydration and vitality.

The skin booster treatment process at Uncover is straightforward and comfortable.

• Consultation Your treatment begins with a detailed skin analysis by our dermatologist. They assess your skin type, discuss your concerns and goals, and recommend the most appropriate skin booster for your needs.
• Preparation On the day of treatment, your skin is thoroughly cleansed. A topical numbing cream may be applied to minimise any discomfort during the injections.
• Treatment Using fine needles or a micro-cannula, your dermatologist injects small amounts of the skin booster into the dermal layer of your skin. The injections are placed strategically across the treatment area for even distribution. The entire procedure typically takes 20 to 45 minutes depending on the areas being treated.
• Post-Treatment You can return to your normal activities immediately after the procedure. Minor redness, swelling, or small bumps at injection sites are normal and typically resolve within 24 to 48 hours.

Most patients require 2 to 3 sessions spaced 3 to 4 weeks apart for optimal results. Maintenance treatments every 6 to 12 months help sustain the benefits.
