Skin Booster Injections
What are skin booster injections?
Skin booster injections are cosmetic treatments designed to improve skin hydration, elasticity, and overall quality.
Think of them as injectable moisturisers. Small amounts of hyaluronic acid are injected throughout the skin and help to hydrate within.
Skin booster injections also help to stimulate collagen production leading to a more youthful appearance of the skin.

Do I need a consultation?
Whilst it is not a legal requirement for this treatment to undergo a consultation, it is best practice to complete one prior to treatment.
Consultations allow me to assess the suitability for treatment and can help me determine that it is the right treatment to meet your skin needs. Consultations also allow me to ensure that the treatment is medically safe for you and that there are no contraindications or medication interactions.
There are also a number of skin booster treatments on the market. A consultation will allow me to ensure that the most appropriate product is ordered from the pharmacy for your treatment.
Consultations for these treatments can take place either virtually or face-to-face in the comfort of your own home.
Can the treatment be the same day as consultation?
Whilst this is possible with pre-planning, it is not advisable and not best practice.
I don't keep stock of injectable treatments and as such consultations allow me to order the product to be used from the pharmacy.
However, the whole process should only take a few days and then treatment can take place.
What should I expect during the treatment?
As the treatment is completed in the comfort of your own home there will be some initial setup required by Nurse Lee. This will include setting up a seating area, ensuring the treatment area is clean and preparing of the treatment. You will also complete a consent to treatment document and photographs will be taken.
Once this is completed and you are comfortable, a medical cleanse of your skin will be completed to reduce the risk of infection. A pre-injection reassessment will be carried out of the skin areas to target and a recap of the planned treatment with yourself.
The treatment will start and using a very fine needle, small amounts of skin booster will be injected into the areas that are to be targeted. The procedure can be uncomfortable for some people. You may also have some very small bumps and redness in the treated area immediately after the treatment is completed, you should expect these to resolve of the next few hours.
Once treatment is complete, you will be reminded of the aftercare advice.
I cover the following areas Halesowen, Dudley, Birmingham, Wolverhampton, Worcester & Kidderminster.
When will I expect to see results?
After skin booster injections, you can expect to see initial improvements in your skin's hydration within a few days. More visible improvements typically appear around 2 to 4 weeks after the treatment. Generally, skin booster treatments will require a number of sessions to achieve optimal results.
Timeline of Expected Results:
- Immediate Hydration: Within a few days post-treatment, most patients notice an immediate improvement in skin hydration. This is because hyaluronic acid, the main component of skin boosters, quickly attracts water molecules to the skin, resulting in enhanced hydration and a slight plumpness. This initial boost can instantly make the skin feel smoother and more supple.
- Visible Improvements: Around 2 to 4 weeks after the treatment, more visible improvements become apparent. The treatment stimulates elastin and collagen production, giving the skin a glowier, more youthful appearance.
