Skin Hydration & Rejuvenation
Skin Boosters
Injectable treatments to improve skin hydration, texture and overall skin quality.
Introduction
Understanding Skin Boosters
What are skin boosters?
As skin ages, changes in hydration, collagen and elastin can contribute to dryness, fine lines and reduced elasticity.
Skin boosters are injectable treatments designed to improve skin overall skin quality, including hydration, elasticity and fine lines. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, which are generally used to restore volume or enhance facial contours, skin boosters focus primarily on improving the condition of the skin itself.
At Dr Louise Pierre Aesthetics, we offer a selection of hyaluronic acid-based skin booster treatments, including Seventy Hyal, Teosyal Redensity 1, Sunekos and Kiara. We also offer related treatments such as Profhilo, polynucleotides, PRP and collagen biostimulators, which are often grouped within the broader skin booster category but take different approaches to improving skin quality.
How do they work?
Traditional skin boosters usually contain hyaluronic acid (HA), a substance naturally present in the skin that attracts and retains water, helping to improve hydration and suppleness. Many formulations combine HA with other ingredients such as amino acids, antioxidants or vitamins to provide additional skin-supporting benefits.
The formulation and mechanism of action vary between products, which is why the most suitable treatment depends on your individual skin concerns and goals.
What Can Skin Boosters Help With?
Skin boosters help improve:
- Dry or dehydrated skin: Supporting moisture retention and a more supple appearance.
- Fine lines: Softening superficial lines, particularly those associated with dehydration.
- Uneven texture: Helping skin appear smoother and more refined.
- Dull-looking skin: Improving the appearance of skin radiance.
- Reduced elasticity: Some formulations may support improvements in firmness and elasticity.
- Crepey skin: Improving the appearance of finely lined skin in suitable treatment areas.
How Are Skin Boosters Administered
Skin boosters are administered through a series of small, carefully placed injections into targeted areas, such as the face, neck, décolletage or hands.
The injection technique varies depending on the product and treatment area. Some skin boosters are delivered through multiple small injections arranged in a grid-like pattern to distribute the product evenly across the skin. Others use fewer, strategically positioned injection points, allowing the product to spread through the surrounding tissue.
The depth and placement of injections are tailored to the formulation and treatment area.
Treatment Philosophy
Our Approach to Skin Boosters
At Dr Louise Pierre Aesthetics, we take a personalised approach, considering your skin’s condition, concerns and treatment goals before recommending a suitable option. Whether you’re looking to improve hydration, soften fine lines or address changes in texture and elasticity, our priority is to achieve the best possible results for you.
We understand that, with several injectable skin-quality treatments available, choosing the right option can feel confusing. Our focus is always on recommending treatments that genuinely benefit your skin, rather than encouraging unnecessary procedures. Your satisfaction, natural-looking results and long-term skin health are at the heart of our approach.
A consultation at one of our clinics gives you the opportunity to explore your options, ask questions and understand what each treatment can realistically achieve. We’ll always give you honest advice, even if that means recommending a simpler approach or no treatment at all.

Treatment Focus
Our Skin Booster Treatments
We offer a selection of injectable skin boosters, each with its own formulation and approach to improving skin quality. Understanding their differences can help you explore which treatment may be best suited to your skin.
Seventy Hyal 2000
Hyaluronic acid-based skin hydration
Seventy Hyal 2000 is an injectable skin booster formulated with high molecular weight hyaluronic acid to improve skin hydration, suppleness and radiance.
It may be suitable for people concerned about dehydration, dullness and superficial fine lines. The treatment focuses on replenishing moisture within the skin, helping it appear fresher, smoother and more hydrated.
Its formulation is also designed to support collagen and elastin production, with improvements developing over a course of treatments.
Teosyal Redensity 1
Skin hydration and revitalisation with additional skin-supporting ingredients
Teosyal Redensity 1 combines non-crosslinked hyaluronic acid with a complex of amino acids, antioxidants, minerals and vitamins.
It is designed to improve hydration, smoothness and overall skin quality, particularly where skin appears dull, dehydrated or affected by early signs of ageing.
Its formulation provides a broader skin-revitalising approach than hydration alone and may be used in areas including the face, neck, décolletage and hands, depending on individual suitability.
Sunekos
Hyaluronic acid and amino acids to support skin structure
Sunekos combines hyaluronic acid with a specific blend of amino acids, designed to support the skin’s extracellular matrix, including collagen and elastin.
While hydration remains an important benefit, Sunekos also focuses on supporting the skin’s underlying structure and elasticity.
It may be considered for concerns such as fine lines, reduced elasticity and changes in skin texture, including delicate areas such as around the eyes. The suitability of treatment depends on the area being treated and your individual skin assessment.
Kiara Skin Booster
Hyaluronic acid bio-remodelling for hydration and elasticity
Kiara is an injectable hyaluronic acid treatment available at our Streatham clinic. Its bio-remodelling formulation is designed to improve hydration, elasticity and overall skin quality.
Unlike traditional dermal fillers used to restore facial volume, Kiara focuses on improving the skin’s condition, with the aim of achieving a fresher, firmer and more hydrated appearance.
Whether Kiara is suitable for your skin concerns will be discussed during your consultation, alongside other available treatments.
Other Skin Quality and Regenerative Treatments
Profhilo, polynucleotides, PRP and collagen biostimulators are often discussed alongside traditional skin boosters because they address overlapping concerns such as skin texture, hydration, firmness and elasticity. However, their formulations, treatment approaches and intended benefits differ.
Profhilo
A hyaluronic acid bio-remodelling treatment
Profhilo combines two different molecular weights of hyaluronic acid (HA) to create a more stable formulation without using chemical cross-linking agents.
This unique formulation supports a bio-remodelling approach, designed to improve skin hydration, firmness, elasticity and overall skin quality.
Explore our Profhilo treatment guide.
Polynucleotides
Regenerative injectables
Polynucleotides are injectable treatments made from purified DNA fragments, typically derived from fish. They are used in regenerative aesthetics to support skin repair processes and address concerns such as fine lines, elasticity and crepey skin.
Read our Polynucleotides treatment guide.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Injections
Regenerative treatment using your own blood
PRP uses concentrated platelets obtained from a small sample of your own blood. Unlike hyaluronic acid skin boosters, it uses naturally occurring growth factors associated with tissue repair, with the aim of supporting skin rejuvenation and improving skin quality.
Collagen Biostimulators
Injectable treatments that stimulate collagen production
Collagen biostimulators are a separate category of injectable treatments designed to encourage the skin’s own collagen production. Depending on the product, they may help improve skin firmness, structure and overall quality over time.
They may be considered when hydration-focused skin boosters alone are unlikely to address a patient’s main concerns.
Skin booster prices depend on the treatment selected, the areas being treated and the number of sessions recommended.
Treatment Journey
Treatment Sessions and Expected Results
While some improvements may be noticeable after the first appointment, we generally recommend completing the initial treatment course to achieve the best possible results.
We’ll always explain why we recommend a particular number of sessions and what you can realistically expect from your treatment.
How many treatments will I need?
Most skin boosters are recommended as an initial course of two to four sessions, although the number and spacing depend on the product:
- Seventy Hyal 2000: Typically two to three sessions, around four weeks apart.
- Teosyal Redensity 1: Usually two to three sessions, spaced three to four weeks apart.
- Sunekos: Often three to four sessions, with shorter intervals between appointments depending on the formulation and treatment area.
- Kiara: The recommended course depends on the specific Kiara product and your individual treatment plan.
When will I notice improvements?
Some people notice improved hydration and a fresher appearance soon after treatment. Changes in skin texture, fine lines and elasticity may become more noticeable over the following weeks as the treatment course progresses.
Results vary between individuals, and no particular outcome can be guaranteed.
How often will I need maintenance treatments?
Skin booster results are temporary. Depending on the product and individual response, maintenance appointments may be recommended every few months or approximately every six to twelve months.
Your practitioner will advise whether further treatments are appropriate based on your skin’s response and the results you wish to maintain.
Your Safety
Possible Side Effects and Suitability
Skin boosters are minimally invasive injectable treatments, but like all medical procedures, they carry potential risks. Common side effects are generally mild and temporary, although more serious complications can occasionally occur.
Common Side Effects
Following treatment, you may experience redness, swelling, tenderness or small bruises around the injection sites. Small, raised bumps may also be visible immediately afterwards, depending on the product and injection technique.
These reactions usually settle within a few hours to a couple of days, although recovery times vary.
Less Common Complications
Less common complications can include infection, persistent swelling, inflammatory reactions or nodules. Rare but serious complications, such as vascular occlusion (a blocked blood vessel), may occur with injectable treatments and require urgent medical attention.
We will explain the risks associated with your chosen treatment, including any warning signs that need immediate attention.
Treatment Suitability
Not every skin booster is suitable for every patient. Your medical history, allergies, current medications, skin condition and any active infections will be considered before treatment.
We generally advise against skin booster treatments during pregnancy or breastfeeding due to limited safety evidence. Other contraindications may apply depending on the product.
Your practitioner will assess your suitability and discuss any precautions before proceeding.
