Skin Boosters & Collagen Stimulating Injectables | London
At Dr Preema London Clinic in Mayfair, we offer a range of advanced skin boosters and collagen stimulating injectable treatments designed to improve skin quality, hydration and overall skin health.
Often referred to as skin boosters, modern regenerative injectables such as Profhilo, Sunekos, Polynucleotides, Jalupro and Revitalis work by supporting the skin’s natural repair processes, stimulating collagen production and enhancing elasticity. Rather than simply adding volume, these treatments focus on restoring skin quality from within, helping to improve texture, luminosity and firmness.
What are Skin Boosters?
Skin boosters are micro-injectable treatments engineered to help improve skin quality, hydration, and elasticity from within. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, which are typically used to reshape facial features or restore lost structural volume. Skin boosters focus on enhancing the health, texture, and resilience of the skin itself, maintaining your natural facial contours.
Modern aesthetic medicine extends beyond simple surface hydration. Today’s skin booster category includes advanced bio-remodelling and regenerative injectables designed to target specific skin concerns.
Benefits of Skin Booster Treatments
- Hydration & Radiance: Designed to restore deep-layer moisture and enhance skin luminosity.
- Texture & Tone: Aims to smooth the appearance of fine lines, crepey skin, and uneven surface texture.
- Firmness & Elasticity: Formulated to support skin tightness, structural resilience, and laxity.
- Subtle, Natural Results: Focuses on revitalising overall tissue quality rather than adding artificial volume.
How do Skin Boosters work?
Rather than remaining in a concentrated area to build volume, skin boosters are formulated to disperse evenly throughout the dermis. Once administered, they interact with the skin’s layers to encourage natural biological processes, supporting the extracellular matrix and helping to trigger internal repair mechanisms.
Depending on their active ingredients, different skin boosters utilise distinct pathways, from bio-remodelling to cellular regeneration—to support skin health over time.
How Specific Skin Booster Formulations Work
- Profhilo (Hyaluronic Acid Bio-Remodelling): Utilises highly purified hyaluronic acid to flood the skin with moisture while aiming to stimulate collagen and elastin production through a bio-remodelling process.
- Sunekos (HA + Amino Acid Matrix): Combines hyaluronic acid with a patented cluster of amino acids—the building blocks required to support the extracellular matrix and encourage collagen and elastin synthesis.
-
Jalupro (Amino Acid-Based Biorevitalisation): Combines amino acids with hyaluronic acid in selected formulations to support fibroblast activity, collagen synthesis and skin hydration. Designed to improve skin texture, elasticity and firmness while promoting natural-looking skin rejuvenation.
- Polynucleotides (Cellular Regeneration): Employs filtered DNA fractions designed to support cellular function (fibroblasts), promoting tissue repair, soothing the skin, and encouraging improved density and resilience.
- Revitalis (Collagen Stimulation): Offers a targeted regenerative approach intended to support structural integrity, reinforce firmness, and enhance skin quality over a series of sessions.
Our Skin Booster Treatments & Options
Advanced, minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatments performed by our experienced Medical Aestheticians at our clinic in Mayfair, London. Explore your treatment information below to learn more about the procedure, benefits, suitability, and what to expect before and after treatment.
Treatment Time
How long does a Skin Booster treatment take?
A Skin Booster treatment typically takes around 30 minutes.
The appointment includes preparation of the treatment area and a series of precise injections, making injectable Skin Boosters a convenient treatment for improving skin hydration, texture and overall skin quality.
Comfort Level
What do Skin Booster injections feel like?
Skin Booster injections are generally well tolerated, although you may feel a series of small pinpricks or a mild stinging sensation during treatment.
A topical numbing cream may be applied beforehand where appropriate to help make the treatment as comfortable as possible.
Course Frequency
How many Skin Booster treatments are needed?
We usually recommend an initial course of 2–3 Skin Booster treatments based on the skin concern and product being used.
Your practitioner will create a personalised treatment plan based on your skin condition, treatment area and individual concerns, such as dehydration, fine lines or uneven skin texture.
Action to Take Effect
How soon do you see results from Skin Boosters?
Skin Booster results may be immediate or develop gradually over the following few weeks as skin hydration and overall skin quality improve.
You may begin to notice smoother, fresher and more radiant-looking skin after your first treatment, with results continuing to develop throughout the recommended treatment course.
Duration of Effect
How long do Skin Booster results last?
Skin Booster results can typically last around 6 months, although this can vary depending on the product used, your skin condition, age, lifestyle and treatment area.
Completing the recommended treatment course and following an appropriate maintenance plan can help support longer-lasting improvements in hydration, texture and skin quality.
Maintenance
How often should you have Skin Booster maintenance treatments?
We generally recommend a Skin Booster maintenance treatment once the effect start to fade.
Your practitioner will advise on the most suitable schedule for your skin to help maintain hydration, smoothness, radiance and overall skin rejuvenation.
Who Are Skin Boosters Suitable For?
Skin boosters are ideal for patients seeking to revitalise overall skin condition, texture, and resilience without altering their natural facial volume or structure. They are particularly suitable for addressing early signs of ageing, dullness, or depleted tissue across the face, neck, décolletage, and hands.
Skin Conditions We Can Treat
Subject to a individual clinical assessment, skin booster and regenerative injectables can be tailored to help improve:
- Dehydration & Dullness: Restores moisture balance to dry, tired-looking skin.
- Textural Changes: Smooths fine lines, crepey skin, and uneven surface texture.
- Loss of Elasticity: Supports firmer, more resilient tissue in areas experiencing early skin laxity.
- Delicate or Depleted Tissue: Specific formulations, such as Polynucleotides or Sunekos, can be selected to target delicate areas like the under-eye region or focus directly on structural collagen renewal.
Note: Suitability is determined during your medical consultation at Dr Preema London Clinic to ensure a bespoke treatment strategy.
What Areas Can Be Treated with Skin Boosters?
Polynucleotides can be used across several areas of the face and body where the treatment objective relates to skin texture, hydration, fine lines or tissue quality. The appropriate approach varies by area because skin thickness, underlying anatomy and the cause of the concern differ between areas such as the under-eyes, face, neck, hands and body.
| Treatment area | What polynucleotides may help with | How treatment is used in this area | Key limitations / considerations |
|---|---|---|---|
| Under-Eyes | Crepey texture, fine lines and thin-looking peri-orbital skin. | Used to address the condition, texture and firmness of the delicate skin around the eyes. | Dark circles can result from pigmentation, visible blood vessels, shadowing, volume loss or skin characteristics. Polynucleotides do not address all of these causes in the same way. |
| Face | Fine lines, dehydration, uneven texture and declining firmness. | Used to address general skin texture and tissue condition without primarily adding facial volume. | Polynucleotides are not a substitute for dermal filler when the main concern is deeper facial volume loss or when structural projection is required. |
| Neck | Crepey texture, fine lines and mild loss of skin firmness. | Used to address changes within thinner neck skin where texture and mild laxity are concerns. | Neck skin differs anatomically from facial skin. Polynucleotides should not be expected to reproduce the effect of surgery where substantial skin laxity is present. |
| Décolletage | Fine lines, crepey texture and skin affected by ageing or sun exposure. | Used to address texture and tissue condition across the upper chest. | Sun-related changes can involve pigmentation and other concerns as well as texture, so treatment should be selected according to what is actually causing the visible change. |
| Hands | Thin-looking, dehydrated or finely creased skin. | Used to address the texture and condition of the skin on the backs of the hands. | Polynucleotides do not replace lost structural volume in the same way as a volumising injectable. |
| Scalp | Scalp tissue concerns where polynucleotide treatment may be considered. | May be incorporated into an individually assessed treatment plan for the scalp. | Specific claims relating to hair growth, increased hair density or the treatment of scalp conditions require [CLINICAL REVIEW]. |
| Knees | Fine lines, textural changes and mild skin laxity. | Used to address the condition and texture of skin around the knee area. | May be considered for mild skin concerns but is not an alternative to surgery where there is substantial loose skin. |
| Inner Arms | Crepey texture, fine lines and mild laxity. | Used to address skin texture and tissue condition where the skin appears thin or finely creased. | The degree of laxity matters. Significant loose skin may require a different treatment approach. |
| Abdomen | Fine lines, textural changes and mild skin laxity. | Used to address selected skin texture and tissue-quality concerns. | Polynucleotides do not remove excess skin and should not be presented as a substitute for surgery where substantial laxity is present. |
Skin Booster Risks & Side Effects
Skin boosters are medical injectable procedures and, while generally well-tolerated, carry potential side effects and complications. Suitability and specific product risks are evaluated during your initial clinical consultation prior to treatment.
Common & Temporary Reactions
Most minor side effects are localized to the injection process and typically resolve within a few days:
- Mild redness, tenderness, or swelling at injection sites
- Minor localized bruising or pin-prick bleeding
- Slight temporary skin tightness
Less common complications
Although less frequent, certain risks associated with injectable treatments require medical management:
- Hypersensitivity, inflammatory reactions, or localized skin irregularities
- Risk of infection at entry points
- Rare risk of vascular compromise (blood vessel obstruction), requiring immediate professional assessment
To ensure patient safety, treatments at Dr Preema London Clinic are conducted by qualified practitioners trained to adminster products correctly, and with full complication management protocols.
What to Expect, Results, Longevity & Recovery
Skin boosters aim to deliver subtle, progressive improvements in skin health rather than immediate structural changes. Treatments are typically provided as a course, allowing tissue quality to rebuild gradually over time.
Expected Results & Timeline
Depending on the specific injectable used, your skin profile, and the area treated, potential benefits may include:
- Enhanced skin hydration and radiance
- Smoother, refined surface texture
- Improved firmness, elasticity, and resilience
- Softened appearance of fine or crepey lines
- Certain products—such as Sunekos and Revitalis—are delivered in a multi-session protocol to support continuous cellular response and collagen renewal.
Frequently Asked Questions About Skin Boosters
Do skin boosters really work?
Yes, injectable hyaluronic-acid skin boosters can improve aspects of skin quality including hydration, elasticity, firmness and texture. Research is encouraging, although results vary between products and individuals and the evidence base is still developing. Skin boosters are designed to create subtle improvements in skin quality rather than dramatically change facial features.
How long does it take to see results from skin boosters?
Some people notice improved hydration and freshness within the first few weeks after treatment, with skin quality continuing to improve as the treatment takes effect. The timing depends on the product used, your skin and the treatment protocol. Results may become more noticeable after completing the recommended course rather than after a single session.
How long do skin boosters last?
Skin booster results are temporary and longevity varies considerably depending on the product, treatment area, number of sessions and individual response. Many treatment plans therefore include an initial course followed by maintenance treatments. Your practitioner should explain the expected longevity of the specific skin booster being used rather than applying one timeframe to every product.
Is one session of skin booster enough?
One session can produce an improvement, but some skin boosters are designed to be given as a course of treatments for the best result. The number and spacing of sessions varies by product and individual skin concerns. Your practitioner should recommend a treatment plan based on the specific skin booster being used and how your skin responds.
Are skin boosters better than Botox?
Skin boosters and Botox treat different concerns, so one is not inherently better. Skin boosters are primarily used to improve hydration, texture, elasticity and overall skin quality. Botox temporarily reduces the activity of selected facial muscles to soften dynamic expression lines. The right treatment depends on what you want to improve, and the two can sometimes form part of the same treatment plan.
