The approach

What to expect.

Bio-remodelling and hydration-led injectables that work from the inside — improving water binding, elasticity and the lit-from-within quality your skin had when it was younger. Most protocols are a course of two appointments, four weeks apart.

Areas we treat: Face · Neck · Décolletage

How it works

Three steps.

Consultation

We start with a conversation about your goals, history and suitability — never a needle.

Treatment

Delivered by Rachel with medical precision, using prescription-only products sourced through licensed pharmacies.

Two-week review

Included with every appointment. Small tweaks at this review are on the house.

Pricing

What it costs.

Skin boosters are priced per product and per session. Most protocols are a 2-session course, four weeks apart, then a maintenance treatment every 4–6 months.

Product	Per session
Seventy Hyal 2000 — deep hydration, mid-tier hyaluronic	£110
Lumi Pro — brightening + hydration, suits dull skin	£120
Jalupro Classic — amino acids + HA, pre-treatment / repair	£150
Profhilo — pure stabilised hyaluronic, full-face protocol	£220

We’ll match the right product to your skin at consultation — not every booster suits every face. Free 30-minute consultation if you’re new.

The science, plainly

What they actually do.

Skin boosters are injectable hyaluronic acid — sometimes blended with amino acids, vitamins or biostimulators — placed in micro-droplets across the surface of your skin. The goal isn’t structure or volume; it’s skin quality.

When you’re younger, your skin holds more water, makes more collagen, and bounces back faster from movement and sun. Boosters re-introduce the raw material your skin uses to do those jobs — hydration molecules, amino acid building blocks, and a slow-release scaffold for collagen and elastin.

It’s slow. The change isn’t a before-and-after photo — it’s a six-week-later "your skin looks different" comment from someone who can’t put their finger on what changed. That’s the point.

Different products do different jobs — that’s why I stock four. Seventy Hyal for clients who need straightforward deep hydration. Lumi Pro for dull or pigmented skin that needs brightening alongside hydration. Jalupro Classic for clients about to have filler or who’ve had a lot of sun damage and need cellular repair. Profhilo for clients who want a slow, full-face skin-quality protocol with high stabilised HA.

Suitability

Who this is for.

Skin boosters suit you if you:

Have dehydrated, dull or tired-looking skin even when you’re sleeping properly
Want skin quality improvement without changing your features
Are starting your aesthetics journey and don’t want to commit to filler yet
Want to maintain results between filler appointments
Are 18+, in good general health, not pregnant or breastfeeding

I’ll recommend something else, or send you elsewhere, if you:

Are looking for instant volume or structural lift — that’s filler, not a booster
Have an active autoimmune flare
Are pregnant or breastfeeding
Have an active skin infection in the area
Have wedding/event photos in the next 2 weeks — small papules can take 24-48 hours to fully settle

On the day

From door to done.

Numbing cream goes on for 15 minutes. While we wait, we go over your medical questionnaire and confirm the product we’re using.

For most boosters (Seventy Hyal, Lumi Pro, Jalupro), I work in micro-droplets across the face — small even injection points spaced across cheeks, jawline, neck, sometimes décolleté. For Profhilo specifically, the protocol is five precise points per side at anatomical landmarks, where the product spreads slowly through the layers.

You’ll see small raised bumps where each injection went — these settle within 12-24 hours. Mild redness is normal. The whole appointment is 30 minutes.

Aftercare

The first 48 hours.

Don’t touch the small papules for the first few hours — they settle on their own
No makeup until the next morning — fresh injection points need a clean surface
No alcohol for 24 hours
No strenuous exercise or saunas for 24 hours
No facials, peels or microneedling for 14 days
Sleep on your back the first night if you can
Drink plenty of water — HA attracts water, hydration drives the result

Risks, openly

What I tell everyone.

Skin boosters are among the lower-risk injectable treatments because the product goes into the upper layer of the skin, not deep around vessels. Common: small papules at injection points (settle in 12-48 hours), pinpoint redness, very occasional bruising.

Rare: allergic reaction to the product, infection at injection points (good aftercare prevents this).

Common questions

Good to know.

How many sessions do I need?

Most protocols are two sessions, four weeks apart, then a maintenance session every 4–6 months. The exact protocol depends on the product we choose — we agree it at consultation.

What’s the difference between skin boosters and filler?

Skin boosters don’t add volume or change your features — they improve the underlying quality of your skin (hydration, elasticity, texture). Filler is structural; boosters are about skin condition. Many clients use both at different appointments.

Will I see results immediately?

No — that’s the trade-off. Boosters work over weeks, not days. You’ll often notice the change after the second session, around the 6-week mark. The 6-week-later "your skin looks different" comment is the milestone.

What’s the difference between Seventy Hyal, Lumi Pro, Jalupro and Profhilo?

Different jobs. Seventy Hyal is straightforward deep hydration. Lumi Pro adds brightening for dull or pigmented skin. Jalupro Classic adds amino acids for cellular repair — great pre-filler or for sun-damaged skin. Profhilo is a stabilised hyaluronic that releases over time, well-suited to a full-face protocol.

How long do results last?

After a 2-session course, results typically hold for 4–6 months. Maintenance is one session every 4–6 months thereafter. If you stop, your skin reverts to its baseline gradually.

Is there downtime?

Minimal. You’ll have small papules at the injection points for 12-48 hours, mild redness for an hour or two. No makeup until the next day. Most clients are back to full normality within 24 hours.

Can I combine boosters with other treatments?

Yes — carefully sequenced. Boosters pair well with anti-wrinkle (different layer of the face), microneedling (do the booster first, microneedle 4 weeks later) or polynucleotides. We don’t do facial massage, peels or other facials in the same 2-week window.

Does it hurt?

Numbing cream first. The injections are very superficial — you’ll feel pin-prick pressure rather than sharp pain. Most clients find it more comfortable than lip filler.

Will it help with acne or scarring?

Boosters help skin quality but they’re not the right tool for active acne or scar tissue specifically. For scarring or texture, microneedling or polynucleotides are usually a better choice. We talk through the right combination at consultation.

Can I have it if I’m pregnant or breastfeeding?

No — we’d wait. The principle of treating non-essential cosmetic procedures during pregnancy is to defer.
