Skin boosters are micro-injections of stabilised hyaluronic acid designed to deeply hydrate the skin from within. Unlike dermal fillers which add structure and volume, skin boosters are distributed across a wide area in tiny droplets to improve the skin's water content, elasticity, and radiance.
Popular brands include Restylane Vital, Juvederm Hydrate, and Teosyal Redensity. They are most effective as part of a longer-term skin health maintenance programme rather than a one-off treatment.

Skin boosters are often confused with Profhilo. Both use hyaluronic acid but differ in formulation and mechanism — Profhilo bioremodels the deep dermis; skin boosters primarily hydrate and add superficial luminosity. Your practitioner can advise which is more appropriate for your concern.
