About This Treatment
Skin boosters deliver hyaluronic acid directly into the skin to deeply hydrate, improve elasticity, and create a natural glow. Unlike fillers which add volume, skin boosters work to improve the overall quality and texture of your skin. Perfect for tired, dehydrated skin on the face, neck, hands, and decolletage.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many sessions do I need?
A course of 3 treatments spaced 2-4 weeks apart is recommended for optimal results, followed by a maintenance treatment every 4-6 months.
What's the difference between skin boosters and fillers?
Fillers add volume and shape to specific areas. Skin boosters improve overall skin quality — hydration, texture, and glow — without adding volume.
Do skin boosters actually work?
Yes — when used for the right indication. Skin boosters are most effective for hydration, fine surface lines, dullness and mild crepiness on the face, neck, hands and décolletage. They are less effective for deep wrinkles, significant volume loss or pigmentation — those need different treatments. Realistic expectations matter; clinicians who promise 'transformation' from skin boosters alone are usually overselling.
What is the best skin booster in the UK?
It depends on the indication. The best-known categories are Profhilo (a bio-remodeller, distinct from standard skin boosters but often grouped with them) and HA-based skin boosters from established manufacturers. Dr Niru selects the specific product at consultation based on the area, your skin condition and your goals.
How much are skin boosters in the UK?
UK pricing typically £150-£300 per session, with a starting course of 2-3 sessions spaced 2-4 weeks apart. The Azim Clinic price is from £150 per session. Maintenance every 4-6 months keeps the result.
How long do skin booster results last?
Gradual improvement over 2-4 weeks after each session, with peak result after the initial course (typically 3 sessions). Effects last around 4-6 months, after which a maintenance session restores the result. Without maintenance, the skin gradually returns to baseline.
What are the downsides of skin boosters?
Three honest downsides. (1) Result is subtle — quality improvement, not visible 'change'. (2) Recurring cost — maintenance every 4-6 months. (3) Small injection bumps for 24-48 hours, occasional bruising. Generally one of the most predictable and well-tolerated injectable treatments.
