Skin Boosters

Fillers add volume to specific areas. Boosters spread throughout the skin to improve its overall quality and hydration.

Both are injectable skin-quality products combining hyaluronic acid with a polymer matrix, but they differ in composition. JuveLook combines PDLLA (poly-D,L-lactic acid) microspheres with HA — the PDLLA provides a gradual collagen-stimulating effect alongside the HA's immediate hydration. Lenisna is also a PDLLA + HA formulation engineered with slightly different particle characteristics. Both are CE-marked products. Your practitioner selects the right one — and the right delivery depth — based on your skin's current condition, the area being treated, and your goals.

The standard course is 3 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart, with maintenance every 6 months. Some patients with very dehydrated or sun-damaged skin benefit from 4 sessions initially. Each session takes around 45 minutes including topical anaesthetic time.

Anywhere the skin needs structural quality improvement rather than volume change. Most common areas: cheeks (for crepiness or dullness), neck (a notoriously difficult-to-treat area), décolletage (sun damage and lines), back of hands (early ageing), and around the eyes (delicate skin where fillers would be unsafe). Skin boosters are generally NOT used to add structural lift to the cheekbones or sculpt the jawline — those are jobs for traditional dermal fillers.

Results from a completed course typically last 6–9 months. The HA component fades faster (months); the PDLLA-driven collagen stimulation outlasts the HA and is what carries the longer-term improvement. Most patients book maintenance every 6 months to preserve the glow.

Yes — these are some of the most common indications for skin boosters specifically. The neck and décolletage have thin, mobile skin where traditional dermal filler is rarely a good choice (risk of lumpiness, unnatural look). Skin boosters deliver hydration and collagen stimulation evenly across the area without adding visible volume — making them well-suited to softening sun-damaged "tech-neck" lines and crepiness. A consultation will confirm whether your specific skin pattern would benefit.

Yes — skin boosters complement these treatments rather than replace them. A common combined plan is: anti-wrinkle injections for dynamic lines, dermal filler for structural volume, skin boosters for overall skin quality and glow. Each addresses a different concern. Sessions are typically staged across separate appointments (often 2 weeks apart) so each settles before the next, though some can be combined in the same session at the practitioner's discretion.

Skin boosters are generally less prone to "filler face" than traditional dermal fillers because they are not designed to add structural volume — they deliver hydration and collagen support that integrates broadly into the skin matrix. The HA component is metabolised by the body over months; the PDLLA particles are biodegradable and break down over a year or more. Long-term skin booster use is considered a low-risk way to maintain skin quality compared to repeatedly layering high-volume filler.

Common, expected effects are small "bumps" or wheals at injection sites (usually 8–16 per session depending on the area) that settle within 24–48 hours. Mild swelling and redness are normal. Bruising is uncommon but possible. Skin boosters use very fine needles for shallow injections so discomfort is generally well-tolerated with topical anaesthetic. Avoid makeup for 12 hours and active skincare for 48 hours. Contact the clinic if a bump persists beyond a week or if you notice signs of infection.
