Skin boosters bring back the soft, hydrated, light-catching quality that makes skin look fresh and well rested.
Tiny amounts of a hydrating product are placed within the skin itself, spread evenly across an area. The result is smoother, better-hydrated, more supple skin, while your face shape stays just as it is.
They're a lovely choice for fine lines on the forehead and neck, crepey texture, and skin on the face, neck, décolletage or hands that looks dry and finely lined.

Treatment options and technologies
At our clinic, skin quality, hydration and fine crepey texture are treated with a choice of skin boosters:
- SKINVIVE: smoother, more hydrated facial skin from hyaluronic acid microdroplets.
- Restylane Skinboosters: hydration, elasticity and fine texture across an area, including the neck, décolletage and hands.
- NCTF 135 HA Boost: a revitalizing option for dry, tired-looking skin on the face, neck and décolletage.
Most people need one booster, given as a short initial series and then maintained. All skin boosters are injected by our experienced physicians.
What skin boosters can improve
Skin boosters can help with:
- Skin that looks dull or dehydrated and doesn't reflect light well
- Fine lines on the forehead and neck
- Fine crepey texture on the face, neck, chest or backs of the hands
- Fine lines that come from dryness
- Skin that makeup settles into through the day
- Neck and décolletage skin that looks finely lined next to a well-cared-for face
- Hands that look thin-skinned and papery
Who may benefit
Boosters suit anyone whose main goal is skin quality, who enjoys a gradual, natural change, and who's happy to maintain it over time.
Best for quality and glow. If lift, contour or volume is your main goal, boosters pair well with dermal fillers or skin tightening.
If you take blood-thinning medication, are prone to cold sores near the lips, or have reacted to an injectable before, let us know early.
Your medical history, medications and previous treatments are reviewed at your consultation to confirm which option suits you.
Your consultation
At Anti-Aging Medical & Laser Clinic, injectable treatments are performed by our experienced physicians. Your consultation includes an assessment of your concerns, medical and cosmetic history, facial anatomy and treatment goals. Our cosmetic consultants may assist with your initial assessment and treatment planning, while the treating physician reviews your suitability, confirms the medical treatment plan and performs your injections.
We look at your skin in good light, its thickness, hydration and fine texture, and talk through how much of what you'd like to change is skin quality and how much is volume or laxity. You'll leave with a clear picture of what a booster can do for your skin and how it fits with anything else you're considering.
Cosmetic consultations are complimentary. When you book a treatment, we take a card on file. New clients pay a $150 deposit that goes toward their treatment, and a $150 no-show fee applies if an appointment is missed.

Results and treatment planning
What boosters can improve: hydration, suppleness, fine crepey texture, fine lines and the way skin catches the light.
Timing, recovery and sessions depend on the booster chosen. Change builds gradually and is often clearest once an initial series is complete. Each technology page explains what to expect: SKINVIVE, Restylane Skinboosters and NCTF 135 HA Boost.
Keeping your result. The effect is temporary and is held with periodic maintenance.
What influences your result: how thin or sun-damaged your skin is, how much crepiness there is to begin with, the area treated, smoking, and daily sun protection. Individual results vary.
After your treatment
Most people return to their day. Small bumps and some redness at the injection points are expected and usually settle within a day or two, so leave a little margin before an important event. Your physician gives you aftercare for the booster used.
Call the clinic straight away if you notice unusual or worsening pain, a white or dusky patch of skin, or any change in vision.
Optimizing your results
Combining with HydraFacial. Boosters hydrate the skin from within, while a HydraFacial cleanses and hydrates the surface, so together they support fresh, healthy-looking skin. The two are booked on separate days, and your physician will advise the timing.
Your at-home routine alongside boosters
Boosters and topical products work at different depths, so they sit beautifully together.
A moisturizer hydrates the surface. A booster places hydration within the skin. Together, they keep skin comfortable on the outside and plumper from within.
Daily sun protection preserves the collagen and elastin that give skin its quality, protecting your result.
Retinoids and other actives can usually continue, with a short pause around treatment if your physician advises. Medical-grade skincare is available in our online shop.

FAQ
Questions about Injectable Skin Boosters.
No. The product is spread through the skin in tiny amounts, so it doesn't add contour or fullness. What people notice is skin that looks fresher and holds light better, which others tend to read as you looking well rested.
Small raised dots at each injection point usually flatten within hours to a day or two, and any bruising can take a little longer. Leave a comfortable margin before a wedding, a holiday or anything photographed, and tell us your date at your consultation so we can plan around it.
Skin boosters improve how much water your skin holds and support its own renewal, and that builds progressively. Results are usually most visible once the initial series is complete, then occasional maintenance keeps them going.
Often yes. Boosters work on skin quality, fillers on volume and wrinkle-relaxing injections on expression lines, so they combine well. Your physician decides whether to treat in one visit or spread treatments out to keep swelling easy to manage.
Numbing cream is usually applied first, and most people feel only brief stinging at each point. The neck can feel a little more sensitive, and your physician uses comfort measures to keep you at ease.
