Skin boosters contain various key ingredients, each serving a unique purpose in skin rejuvenation. The most common types include Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Skin boosters, Polynucleotide (PN) Skin boosters and Collagen-Stimulating Skin boosters. The choice of Skin booster depends on the individual’s skin concerns and treatment goals.
| Type of Skin Booster | Main Ingredient | How It Works | Key Benefits | Recommended For |
| Hyaluronic Acid (HA) | Stabilised Hyaluronic Acid Naturally occurring | Binds and retains moisture within the skin for deep hydration. | – Intensely hydrates and plumps the skin – Smooths fine lines and improves elasticity – Enhances skin glow | – Dry, dull, or dehydrated skin – Fine lines and early signs of ageing |
| Polynucleotide (PN) | Polynucleotides (DNA fragments) Natural origins that are exceptionally biocompatible – derived from salmon or trout | Stimulates fibroblasts to boost collagen and elastin production. Activates cellular regeneration and promotes healing. | – Strengthens skin structure – Reduces inflammation and improves repair – Enhances skin elasticity and firmness | – Ageing skin with early laxity – Sensitive or stressed skin (acne scars, redness, post-inflammatory pigmentation, or skin damage) needing repair |
| Collagen-Stimulating | Poly-L-Lactic Acid (PLLA) Biodegradable polymer | Encourages natural collagen production for long-term skin firmness. | – Gradual and sustained improvement in skin structure – Reduces sagging and wrinkles – Increases skin density | – Loose or sagging skin – Deep wrinkles and ageing concerns |
Skin boosters work by delivering hydrating and bioactive ingredients directly into the skin’s deeper layers, where they stimulate collagen production, enhance moisture retention, and promote long-term skin regeneration. Unlike topical skincare, which only affects the skin’s surface, skin boosters are injected into the dermis to trigger biological processes that improve hydration, firmness, and elasticity. Each type of skin booster functions differently and targets specific skin concerns with unique mechanisms.
When injected into the dermis, HA binds to water molecules, which helps restore skin hydration, improves elasticity, and smooths fine lines. Unlike traditional fillers, which add volume, HA skin boosters disperse evenly within the skin, ensuring a natural-looking glow and overall improvement in texture.
Polynucleotides reactivate these cells, which encourages collagen and elastin synthesis to improve skin structure and resilience. They also have anti-inflammatory properties, which makes them beneficial for sensitive or ageing skin. With continued use, PN skin boosters help reduce signs of sagging and enhance skin firmness over time.
When injected, they stimulate healing processes, accelerate skin renewal, and enhance oxygen and nutrient supply to skin cells. This makes PDRN highly effective for treating acne scars, post-inflammatory pigmentation, and redness. By supporting skin recovery and reducing inflammation, PDRN skin boosters improve overall skin resilience, giving it a healthier and more even complexion.
These compounds gradually rebuild the skin’s structural integrity, which helps improve elasticity and density. The effects develop over time, providing long-lasting firmness and a noticeable reduction in wrinkles and skin laxity.
Skin boosters provide gradual yet long-lasting improvements, with hydration and texture enhancement becoming visible within two to four weeks. As collagen production increases, the skin continues to improve, with optimal results achieved after a series of treatments. Most patients undergo two to three sessions spaced a few weeks apart, followed by maintenance treatments to sustain the benefits.
At Cove Aesthetic Clinic, we tailor each skin booster treatment plan to target your unique skin concerns, ensuring deep hydration, improved texture, and long-term rejuvenation.
Skin boosters offer multiple benefits by deeply hydrating the skin, stimulating collagen production, and improving overall skin quality. Unlike topical skincare, which only works on the surface, these injectables enhance skin health from within, delivering long-lasting improvements in texture, elasticity, and radiance. Key benefits of skin boosters:
Our skin booster treatments are designed to restore hydration, smooth texture, and promote long-term skin health with natural, noticeable results.
Whether you are dealing with dryness, early signs of ageing, or uneven texture, our customised treatments work beneath the skin’s surface to restore hydration, improve firmness, and promote long-term skin regeneration. Skin concerns we treat with skin boosters:
Skin boosters are a minimally invasive treatment with a strong safety profile, but like any injectable procedure, they may cause temporary side effects. At Cove Aesthetic Clinic, we ensure every treatment is performed with precision and care to minimise discomfort and downtime. Most side effects are mild and subside within a few hours to days. Possible side effects of skin boosters include:
We prioritise safety and post-treatment care. If you have any concerns post-treatment, our team is always available to assist you.
The key to treating dull, and uneven skin is to revitalise your skin, restoring its natural radiance, and even tone. The innovative treatments help brighten, smooth, and even out your skin tone for a healthier, more radiant appearance through various treatment methods, including:
From the moment you step into Cove Aesthetic Clinic for your initial consultation, our aesthetic professionals take the time to understand your skin concerns and goals. We assess your skin condition, discuss your expectations, and recommend the most suitable type of skin booster for your needs. Whether you are looking to improve hydration, smooth fine lines, or enhance skin elasticity, we tailor the treatment to ensure optimal results.
Before the procedure, your skin is cleansed, and a numbing cream may be applied to ensure comfort during the treatment. The skin booster is then administered through a series of microinjections across the targeted areas using fine needles or an injector device. The procedure typically takes 30 to 45 minutes, with minimal discomfort and little to no downtime.
Immediately after the treatment, mild redness, slight swelling, or tiny bumps may appear at the injection sites, but these effects usually subside within a few hours to a day. Most patients can resume their daily activities soon after.
We also provide detailed aftercare instructions, including recommendations to avoid excessive sun exposure, intense exercise, or alcohol consumption for 24 to 48 hours post-treatment.
Results start to become visible within two to four weeks as the hyaluronic acid or bioactive ingredients integrate into the skin, attracting moisture, stimulating collagen production, and improving overall skin texture. The skin gradually appears more hydrated, plumper, and radiant, with fine lines softened and elasticity restored. Unlike fillers that provide immediate volume, skin boosters work progressively, with improvements continuing over the next few weeks.
For optimal outcomes, a series of two to three sessions spaced a few weeks apart is recommended. Regular maintenance treatments every six to twelve months help sustain the effects, keeping the skin well-hydrated, firm, and youthful.
