What are Skin Boosters?
Skin boosters are an injectable skin treatment that is designed to deliver deep skin hydration direct into the dermis of the skin, they improve the overall quality of the skin and give it a natural glow and radiance.
How Skin Boosters Work
Skin boosters are made up of liquid Hyaluronic Acid (HA)and Amino Acids. These are substances that occur naturally in the skin and holds incredible amounts of moisture. However, it depletes with age, which is what causes fine lines and wrinkles and loss of elasticity in the skin. It’s not comparable to applying moisturiser – the process of delivering skin boosters also triggers the skin’s own repair and tightening mechanisms, which enhances the result.
The most common use for skin boosters are for facial rejuvenation and maintenance. However, this is a very versatile treatment that can be used to treat many different areas e.g. under the eyes, neck, décolleté, backs of the hands. They can also be used on difficult to treat areas, like tightening the skin under the chin, knees and smokers lines round the mouth.
Different brands are better for certain areas and problems (see below), however skin boosters are safe for all skin types, ages and genders.
Depending on the treatment chosen, some of the potential benefits include:
-
More radiant complexion
-
Healthier skin tone
-
Reduction in visible lines and wrinkles
-
Tighter, lifted skin
-
Better hydration – a flattering ‘glow’
-
Firmer skin texture
-
Softer skin with more elasticity
-
Reduction in patchy pigmentation
-
Lightens dark circles & reduces blueing
The nature of skin boosters means that they are also ideal for use in combination with other treatments, providing a holistic boost to the skin which works very well alongside more focused treatments such as Botox & Dermal Fillers.
Skin booster results don’t have the dramatic impact that can be associated with the better known non-surgical treatments for example, they don’t ‘freeze’ the features or stop muscle movement like botox can, although they can help to smooth out lines and wrinkles. They won’t deliver exaggerated or over-inflated results like dermal fillers can, although they can add more subtle volume by gently plumping the skin.
Seventy Hyal 2000 (Intense hydration, gentle volume, skin glow up all ages 18+)
Seventy Hyal 2000 aims to improve the levels of hydration within the skin, whilst simultaneously stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin. Seventy Hyal 2000 addresses the physiological depletion of Hyaluronic Acid within the skin, via the infiltration of HA back into the dermis. Delivering intensive hydration, Seventy Hyal 2000 offers one of the highest molecular weight HA formulations on the injectable skincare market. Seventy Hyal 2000 works to improve texture and laxity by imparting gentle volume. Seventy Hyal 2000 can be used for long-term rejuvenation or to provide instant glow before an event.

Sunekos 200 Under Eye Treatment
Thin skin near the eye area is one of the reasons for dark eye circles. Sunekos 200, injected with a specific technique helps to stimulate the neo-regeneration of Extra Cellular Matrix giving thickness to the Skin. Sunekos has the ability to reproduce elastin and reduce the appearance of eye bags. Intradermal treatment with Sunekos 200 corrects and protects the dermis from the signs of aging. Sunekos is a natural product that stimulates the synthesis of collagen and elastin, restoring elasticity and volume to the skin.
TKN HA3 (Toskani Hyaluronic Acid 3)
TKN HA 3 known as Toskani Hyaluronic Acid-3, is a non cross linked Hyaluronic Acid skin enhancer from the second generation. Hyaluronic Acid is a highly sensitive molecule that can hold up to 1000 times its own molecular weight in water, making it perfect for skin hydration. This gives you a plumper, younger-looking complexion. It also encourages the development of collagen and elastin to improve your skin for the better.
TKN has excellent results when used across the face, neck & décolleté area, especially when the skin is extremely dehydrated and lost its elasticity. TKN is also particularly good for skin that has suffered sun damage and acne scarring, although this treatment cannot be performed on anyone who has active acne or during a skin flare up. Once you have chosen your problem area to treat lots of tiny injections covering the chosen area are administered, pain is minor as injections are very superficial so no downtime is required after treatment.
Jalupro is actually known as a skin bio-revitalisation treatment which is used for improving skin texture, brightening the skin and minimising evidence of fine lines & wrinkles. It is considered very effective and safe. It is a unique, fast-acting solution that contains rich ingredients that support the radiance & rejuvenation of the skin. The solution has the powerful ability to plump& hydrate the skin. From filling in deep wrinkles to erasing unwanted stretch marks, this is a multifunctional treatment that also works to enhance other cosmetic treatments. Jalupro is ideal for clients that want a softer look or those that are not wanting dermal fillers. However, Jalupro can be combined with fillers and/or Botox to enhance the overall result.
How does it work?
Using a formulated blend of amino acids that work by feeding the connective tissues beneath the skin, this product helps to generate collagen and nourish the skin. The connective tissues, known as fibroblasts, lose their reparative abilities as the skin ages. As a result, wrinkles and skin imperfections, such as stretch marks, appear and increase over time. The nutrient-rich amino acids present in this unique product support the function of deteriorating fibroblasts. JALUPRO can quickly restore the skin’s connective tissue to provide you with a healthy and smooth-looking complexion.
Which Jalupro is best for me?
There are two types of Jalupro : Classic & HMW.
Classic is more suited to the younger person who is exhibiting the first signs of skin ageing or to prevent them.
HMW contains more hyaluronic acid which is suitable for the older person and provides scaffolding for more aged skin,helps with deeper lines requiring more moisture and for deeper scars.
How many treatments will I require?
Jalupro Classic initially requires 3 treatments spaced 10 days apart
Jalupro HMW initially requires 2 treatments spaced 20 days apart
This can vary from person to person and you can in effect have these natural treatments once a month but not many budgets stretch that far, most people opt to top up somewhere every 3-6 months to keep the skin looking fresh and keep the signs of ageing at bay.
Jalutox (The Ultimate Micro-needling Treatment)
Jalutox is a very popular treatment and is considered to be the ultimate micro-needling treatment using a blend of Hyaluronic Acid, Amino Acids and Botulinum Toxin. The advanced skin booster cocktail of Jalupro and Botox is administered through micro-needling the superficial layers of the skin. This treatment is excellent for treating superficial fine lines, tightening and brightening the skin and closing the pores giving the skin a beautiful glow. This gives a more natural look as it doesn't freeze the muscles so a perfect alternative to botox or fillers. This treatment can be administered no more than every 3 months and can be done on the face, neck, decollate, hands or knees.
Jalupro Super Hydro (the newest Skin Booster with a higher HA content than any other and more amino acids and peptides too, so this one tightens & lifts)
Super Hydro by Jalupro contains 80mg of Hybrid HA. (Hyaluronic acid with two different molecular sizes.) This structure has a significant lifting effect while also hydrating the skin. With its rich amino acid combination, it supports and strengthens the synthesis of collagen and elastin in the structures of the face making it the most comprehensive tissue stimulator to date.
Benefits
is beneficial with its slowing and restorative effects in time-dependent degenerative changes of collagen and skin. The treatment is suitable for men and women as well as offering skin benefits for patients of all ages.
Jalupro Super Hydro is precisely injected into the area being treated.

Profhilo (a premium skin booster that lifts & tighten skin, can be used anywhere except under eyes)
The first of its kind, Profhilo is a revolutionary 'beneath the skin' hyaluronic acid moisturising treatment, made with the patented NAHYCO technology. This results in a unique hyaluronic acid injectable, which has a prolonged stimulating activity on the dermal cells. When injected into skin, Profhilo stimulates the skin cell receptors to counteract skin laxity and improve and restore firmness of the skin.
Profhilo has one of the highest concentrations of hyaluronic acid on the market making this a trusted premium skin booster. Profhilo not only boosts and hydrates the skin, but also remodels ageing and sagging tissue.

Ultra-pure hyaluronic acid is precisely injected into the area being treated. Unlike wrinkle reducing and dermal filler treatments, Profhilo stimulates collagen and elastin, attracting water in the deeper layers of the skin. The stimulation results in significant tissue improvement. Therefore we cannot say that Profhilo is a skin booster as it also has a significant tightening / lifting effect on the tissue.
FAQ's
When will I see the results?
The standard protocol for any of the skin booster treatments commence with an initial course of 2-3 treatments the amount and timescales vary depending on which treatment you have; however it is common to see improvements after the first session. Please also remember everyone is individual and results vary from person to person.
How long do skin boosters last for?
Results are as individual as you and your skin condition, results after your initial course last on average last for up to 6 months before requiring a booster session (profhilo can last longer due to a more concentrated substance). This treatment is such a good treatment for the skin and it should be used as a skin maintenance treatment going forward, you can actually have this every month if you wished but obviously personal budget is dependent... liquid gold is not cheap.
Pain & Recovery Time?
You are numbed for the treatment but you may still feel a small sensation as the skin is injected, but its very quick and superficially injected. The procedure has no downtime and you can immediately continue as normal, you may have small lumps under the skin where the product is placed but these should go down quite quickly. As a needle is used to inject the areas, there is a chance you may get a small amount of bleeding/bruising. This is more common in the under eye area and is to be expected. Bruising usually resolves after a few days. Full recovery is expected at 14 days. Effects can be reduced with application of a Cool pack and Arnica.

Skin boosters are suitable for anyone of any age, only exclusions are pregnant, Nursing or have an active skin condition or infection.
