Skin Boosters
Skin Boosters are advanced injectable treatments that deliver a hydrating gel into the skin through a series of tiny injections. Unlike dermal fillers, Skin Boosters are not designed to change the shape of the face or add volume. Instead, they work at a superficial level within the skin to improve hydration, elasticity, and smoothness.
They are commonly used to address skin concerns such as dullness, dryness, fine lines and uneven texture, while supporting healthier-looking skin.
Due to TGA (Therapeutic Goods Administration) guidelines, we’re unable to mention certain treatment names on our website. During your consultation, our team can provide full details and discuss the best options for your skin concerns.
Skin Boosters Frequently Asked Questions
What are Skin Boosters?
Skin Boosters are micro-injections of a soft, hydrating gel placed just beneath the skin’s surface. They are designed to improve the skin’s hydration, elasticity, and overall texture, making the skin appear healthier and more refreshed.
How do they work?
Once injected, the hydrating gel attracts and binds to water within the skin, helping it retain moisture. This increased hydration can lead to improvements in skin texture, elasticity and smoothness. Over time, the stimulation of collagen and elastin may also contribute to improved skin quality.
What areas can be treated?
Skin Boosters can be used on a variety of areas, including:
- Face
- Neck
- Décolletage
- Hands
- Other areas of skin that appear dry or in need of rejuvenation
What should I expect during treatment?
- You’ll have an initial consultation with your practitioner to discuss your goals and suitability.
- A numbing cream may be applied for comfort.
- The treatment involves a series of very fine injections placed across the treatment area.
- The procedure usually takes around 30–45 minutes.
Does it hurt?
Most patients describe Skin Booster treatments as mild to moderately uncomfortable due to the multiple small injections. Numbing cream and fine needles are used to make the procedure more comfortable.
What happens after treatment?
- Small bumps may be visible immediately after injection (these usually settle within 24–48 hours).
- Temporary redness, swelling or bruising can occur at injection sites.
- Most patients return to normal activities within 24 hours.
Your practitioner will provide aftercare instructions, and follow-up may be recommended.
How many treatments will I need?
A course of treatments is usually recommended for best results. Typically:
- 2–3 sessions, spaced 3–4 weeks apart, may be suggested initially.
- Maintenance treatments every 6–12 months can help support ongoing skin quality.
How long do results last?
Improvements in skin hydration and texture are gradual and vary between individuals. Many people notice refreshed, smoother skin within weeks, with benefits often lasting several months.
Are there any side effects?
Like any injectable treatment, Skin Boosters carry risks and potential side effects. These may include:
- Temporary redness, swelling, or bruising at injection sites
- Small lumps or bumps under the skin, which usually resolve quickly
- Rare risks include infection or allergic reaction
Your practitioner will discuss your medical history and explain potential risks before treatment.
Is this treatment right for me?
Skin Boosters can be suitable for many skin types and ages, particularly for those noticing changes in hydration, elasticity, or early fine lines. Your practitioner will determine if this treatment is appropriate for you during a consultation.
What about the Hycoox injector gun?
The Hycoox injector gun is a device that allows Skin Boosters to be delivered precisely and evenly across the treatment area. It uses controlled suction and multiple fine needles to place micro-droplets of the hydrating gel at the correct depth under the skin. This method helps ensure consistency, comfort, and efficiency, particularly for larger treatment areas.
