Skin Boosters
Hydration, Skin Quality & Natural Rejuvenation
At Opal Skin Clinic, we offer a carefully selected range of skin booster treatments designed to improve the quality, hydration and overall appearance of your skin.
Unlike traditional dermal fillers, which are primarily used to restore or create volume and structure, skin boosters are designed to work more subtly — supporting hydration, elasticity, texture and skin quality.
Our approach is centred around natural-looking results. Rather than changing your facial features, we aim to help your skin look healthier, smoother, fresher and more radiant.
Our skin booster treatments may include Profhilo®, Restylane® Skinboosters, Teosyal® Redensity 1, polynucleotide treatments and other advanced regenerative skin therapies, depending on your individual needs and suitability.
What Are Skin Boosters?
Skin boosters are injectable treatments formulated to improve the condition and quality of the skin.
Depending on the product, they may contain ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, polynucleotides or other biocompatible compounds that are designed to support hydration and the skin's natural regenerative processes.
They are commonly used to address concerns such as:
- Dehydrated or dull-looking skin
- Fine lines
- Reduced skin elasticity
- Uneven texture
- Loss of skin radiance
- Early signs of skin ageing
- Crepey or delicate skin
- Skin quality concerns on the face, neck, décolletage and hands
The most appropriate treatment depends on your skin, age, concerns and desired outcome.
Our Skin Booster Treatments
Profhilo®
Profhilo® is an injectable hyaluronic acid treatment designed to improve skin hydration and quality.
Unlike a conventional dermal filler, Profhilo is not primarily intended to add structural volume. It is designed to disperse within the treated tissues and support hydration and skin remodelling.
It may be considered for patients experiencing:
- Dehydrated skin
- Reduced elasticity
- Fine lines
- Loss of firmness
- Dull or tired-looking skin
- Early signs of skin ageing
Profhilo is commonly used on the face, neck, décolletage and hands, depending on individual suitability.
The goal is a refreshed, hydrated and naturally rejuvenated appearance rather than a noticeably altered facial shape.
Redensity 1
Teosyal® Redensity 1 is a hyaluronic-acid-based injectable treatment designed to improve skin hydration and quality.
It may be particularly suitable for patients who are concerned with:
- Dehydration
- Fine lines
- Dullness
- Uneven skin texture
- Loss of radiance
- Early signs of ageing
Redensity 1 can be used in selected areas of the face and other areas where improving skin quality is the primary objective.
Your treatment plan will be tailored according to your skin condition and treatment goals.
Polynucleotides
Polynucleotide treatments are part of the growing field of regenerative aesthetics.
Polynucleotides are purified biological polymers that can support the skin's natural repair processes and may help create a healthier environment for tissue regeneration.
They are increasingly used to address concerns including:
- Fine lines
- Poor skin texture
- Dehydration
- Reduced elasticity
- Dull or tired-looking skin
- Delicate under-eye skin
- Signs of environmental or age-related skin changes
Polynucleotide treatments are particularly appealing to patients looking for a regenerative approach to skin rejuvenation, rather than adding volume.
Results develop progressively and vary between individuals.
Which Skin Booster Is Right For Me?
There is no single skin booster that is best for everyone.
At Opal Skin Clinic, we assess your:
- Skin type and condition
- Level of hydration
- Skin elasticity
- Age-related changes
- Treatment area
- Previous aesthetic treatments
- Medical history
- Personal goals
We then recommend the treatment or combination of treatments that best aligns with your individual needs.
For some patients, a hyaluronic-acid-based treatment may be appropriate. For others, a polynucleotide treatment or regenerative approach may be more suitable.
In some cases, a combination treatment plan may provide a more comprehensive approach to skin health.
What Can Skin Boosters Help With?
Skin boosters are primarily focused on skin quality rather than facial reshaping.
Depending on the treatment selected, they may help improve the appearance of:
Hydration
Supporting a more hydrated, supple and luminous appearance.
Fine Lines
Improving the appearance of fine lines associated with dehydration and ageing.
Skin Texture
Supporting smoother, more refined-looking skin.
Elasticity
Helping improve the appearance of skin that has become less firm or resilient.
Radiance
Helping dull or tired-looking skin appear fresher and more radiant.
Under-Eye Skin
Selected treatments may be appropriate for delicate under-eye skin, following careful assessment.
Neck & Décolletage
Skin boosters can be considered where the skin shows signs of dehydration, fine lines or reduced elasticity.
Hands
Certain skin boosters may be used to improve the appearance and quality of ageing or dehydrated skin on the hands.
What Happens During Your Treatment?
-
Consultation
Every treatment begins with a consultation.
We discuss your concerns, expectations, medical history, previous treatments and desired outcome. Your skin is assessed carefully so that we can determine whether a skin booster is appropriate for you.
We will explain the recommended product, treatment areas, expected results, potential risks and alternatives before proceeding.
-
Preparation
The treatment area is cleansed and prepared using an appropriate antiseptic technique.
Depending on the treatment and your individual needs, measures may be used to improve comfort.
-
Treatment
The selected skin booster is administered using a series of carefully placed injections into the appropriate layer of the skin.
The exact technique depends on the product, treatment area and clinical objective.
-
Aftercare
You will receive personalised aftercare advice.
Immediately following treatment, you may experience temporary:
- Redness
- Small raised areas at injection points
- Mild swelling
- Tenderness
- Bruising
These effects generally settle over the following days, although recovery varies depending on the individual and treatment area.
When Will I See Results?
Skin booster treatments are not designed to produce an instant transformation.
Some patients notice improvements in hydration or radiance relatively soon after treatment, while other benefits develop progressively as the skin responds.
Improvements in skin quality, elasticity and texture can take several weeks to become apparent.
The number of treatments required depends on the product used, treatment area and your individual skin condition.
A personalised treatment plan will be discussed during your consultation.
How Long Do Results Last?
The longevity of results varies depending on:
- The product used
- Treatment area
- Your skin condition
- Age
- Lifestyle
- Individual metabolism
- Number of treatments
- Maintenance schedule
Skin boosters are not permanent treatments. Maintenance treatments may be recommended to support ongoing skin quality, depending on your individual response.

Individual results vary and cannot be guaranteed.
Skin Boosters vs Dermal Fillers
Although both are injectable aesthetic treatments, their primary purposes are different.
Skin boosters focus primarily on improving skin quality, hydration, texture and elasticity.
Dermal fillers are primarily used to restore or create volume, contour and structure.
Skin boosters therefore appeal to patients who want to improve the quality of their skin without significantly changing their facial shape.
