Skin Boosters
Skin boosters are injectable skin rejuvenation treatments designed to deeply hydrate the skin, improve texture, elasticity, and overall glow. Unlike fillers or anti-wrinkle injections, skin boosters do not change facial shape or muscle movement—they focus purely on skin quality.
What Are Skin Boosters?
Skin boosters are injectable formulations containing Hyaluronic Acid (HA) (and sometimes vitamins, amino acids, or peptides). HA attracts water, helping the skin retain moisture and improve its natural structure from within.
Popular examples include Profhilo®, Restylane Skinboosters®, Jalupro®, and Volite®.
