Typically 6-9 months, though this varies. Younger patients with good skin might enjoy results for up to 12 months. More mature or very dry skin might need topping up every 6 months. The product you choose matters too – some formulations are designed to last longer. We usually recommend starting with 2 sessions a month apart to build up optimal hydration. After that, maintenance every 6-9 months keeps your skin looking its best. Many patients find regular treatments give cumulative benefits – each session builds on the last for progressively better skin quality.

Skin boosters are wonderfully versatile. The face is most popular – they work brilliantly for overall texture, fine lines, and that dull, tired look. The neck responds beautifully, especially if you’ve got that crepey texture that’s hard to treat any other way. The décolletage loves skin boosters – they can reverse years of sun damage and improve texture. Hands transform completely, looking younger without that overfilled appearance that traditional fillers can create. We also treat upper arms, knees, and elbows – anywhere skin quality matters. Some patients even use them for acne scarring or stretch marks, as the improved skin quality makes these less noticeable.

Skin boosters are very safe with minimal side effects. You’ll have small bumps at injection sites right after treatment – these are just the product deposits and they flatten within a day. Some redness and possible minor bruising is normal but easily covered with makeup. You might feel slight tightness as the product spreads and integrates. Serious side effects are extremely rare when done by qualified practitioners. The hyaluronic acid is biocompatible – your body recognises it and gradually breaks it down naturally. We use careful techniques to minimise bruising and ensure even distribution. Most people go straight back to normal activities after treatment.

Absolutely! Skin boosters play well with other treatments. They’re brilliant with Botox – one addresses movement and wrinkles, the other improves skin quality. Many patients have both in the same session. They also complement fillers beautifully. Fillers restore volume and structure while skin boosters improve the quality of the skin over them. For special events, we might combine them with our signature facials for immediate and long-lasting glow. Some combinations work better with spacing – like alternating with chemical peels or microneedling. During your consultation, we’ll create a treatment plan that safely combines therapies for maximum benefit.
