Overview

Skin Boosters involves a clinical assessment and individualised treatment plan. A consultation is required to confirm suitability, discuss options, and explain risks, recovery, and expected variability in outcomes. Individual results vary.

About This Procedure

The most appropriate approach is individual and depends on your anatomy, goals, and medical history. Your clinician will discuss realistic expectations, limitations, and the evidence base for each option during consultation. Outcomes vary and no result can be guaranteed.

Key Benefits

Skin boosters may improve skin hydration and texture through micro-injections of hyaluronic acid-based formulations. Individual outcomes vary and multiple sessions are typically recommended.

Hydration Support: May increase moisture retention in areas of dehydration.
Texture Modification: May affect the appearance of crepey texture and dullness.
Addressing Fine Lines: May alter the visibility of superficial fine lines through targeted hydration.

Ideal Candidate

An appropriate candidate for skin boosters is an adult seeking to address specific skin concerns such as dehydration, dullness, or fine lines. Suitability is strictly assessed during a comprehensive clinical consultation. The ideal patient understands that cosmetic injectables offer physical modifications and does not expect the procedure to provide emotional, psychological, or lifestyle transformations.

Techniques & Approaches

The specific approach is selected based on individual assessment and clinical goals. Your clinician will discuss the most appropriate options during your consultation.

Technique selection is individual and based on your anatomy and goals

After skin preparation, a hyaluronic acid-based formulation is injected via a series of micro-deposits across the treatment area. The technique aims to deliver hydration support directly into the dermal layer.

Options will be discussed during consultation

Your clinician will discuss the recommended number of sessions and treatment intervals. Results develop over a course of treatments, and maintenance sessions may be recommended to sustain hydration effects.

Your clinician will explain the recommended approach and expected trade-offs

Your clinician will explain the expected degree of hydration improvement, how long results may last, and any factors that may influence the outcome, such as lifestyle and skincare routines.

Individual results will be discussed transparently

Your clinician will explain the expected benefits and limitations of skin boosters for your skin type. Results are temporary and individual; maintenance treatments may be discussed.

Anesthesia

While skin boosters are minimally invasive, the injections can cause discomfort. To manage this, a topical numbing cream is typically applied to the treatment area before the procedure. Some skin booster formulations also contain a local anaesthetic (such as lidocaine) to further reduce discomfort during administration.

What we will cover in consultation

Your medical practitioner will explain:

Clinician-Led Assessment: Our practitioners assess your skin hydration and quality to determine whether skin booster injections are appropriate
Individualised Treatment: Skin boosters are micro-injections of hyaluronic acid-based products intended to improve skin hydration and texture. Multiple sessions are typically recommended
Appropriate Clinical Setting: Treatments are performed in an appropriate clinical setting with adherence to Australian regulations
Aftercare & Maintenance: Written aftercare and discussion of treatment intervals
Clinician-Patient Agreement: Your treatment plan, including the recommended product and expected costs, will be documented and discussed before treatment commences

Your surgeon will explain recommended incision placement, expected scarring, and the trade-offs of each approach during consultation.
