Skin Boosters

Deep Hydration & Skin Quality Restoration from Within

Skin Boosters are injectable hydration treatments that deliver stabilised hyaluronic acid directly into the dermis — deeply moisturising the skin from within and improving its overall quality, elasticity, and luminosity. Unlike dermal fillers that add volume or shape, skin boosters work on the cellular level to improve skin’s hydration status and texture over time.

What are Skin Boosters?

Skin Boosters contain stabilised, non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid (HA) — a naturally occurring molecule that binds up to 1000x its weight in water. When micro-injected into the mid-dermis through a series of tiny injections (using a micro-injection technique or cannula), this HA integrates into the skin’s structure and continuously attracts and retains moisture.Over a course of 2–3 sessions, the skin’s overall hydration balance improves, collagen synthesis is stimulated, and the skin becomes visibly plumper, softer, and more radiant. At Ivy Clinics, we use certified skin booster products including Juvederm® Skinvive, Profhilo and Restylane® Vitale Skinboosters to deliver clinically validated results.

Treatment Process at The IVY Clinics

Skin Assessment

Your dermatologist evaluates your skin’s hydration levels, elasticity, and overall quality to determine whether skin boosters are appropriate and which product is best suited.

Numbing

Topical numbing cream is applied 20–30 minutes before the procedure for a comfortable experience.

Micro-Injection

Using a fine needle, tiny amounts of HA booster are deposited in a grid pattern across the target area. The procedure takes 20–40 minutes.

Massage & Assessment

The treated areas are gently massaged to ensure even distribution. Results are reviewed and aftercare is discussed.

Follow-Up Course

A standard course consists of 2–3 sessions spaced 3–4 weeks apart, followed by a maintenance session every 6 months.

The Skin Boosters Procedure at Ivy Clinics

Skin Booster treatments at Ivy Clinics are performed by our qualified dermatologist using certified HA products ( Juvederm® Skinvive, Profhilo and Restylane® Vitale Skinboosters). We use a personalised injection mapping technique to ensure even distribution across the treatment area. The procedure is performed in a sterile clinical environment, and post-injection care including soothing products and SPF are applied before you leave. A treatment course of 3 sessions is recommended for best results.

Is It Safe?

Yes. Skin boosters use highly biocompatible, non-animal-origin hyaluronic acid that is naturally absorbed by the body over time. The procedure is minimally invasive and well-tolerated. Temporary side effects — mild swelling, small injection-site bumps, or redness — are normal and resolve within 1–3 days. When performed by a trained dermatologist with proper technique and certified products, skin boosters are a safe and reliable treatment.

How to Prepare for Your Session

Avoid blood-thinning medications (aspirin, ibuprofen) and alcohol for 5 days prior to reduce bruising risk
Stay well-hydrated in the days leading up to your treatment
Avoid active skin treatments (peels, microneedling) within 2 weeks
Arrive with clean skin — no heavy makeup on the day

Precautions

Avoid touching, rubbing, or applying pressure to injected areas for 24 hours
Avoid sun exposure and high heat environments for 48 hours post-treatment
Do not apply makeup for at least 6 hours after the session
Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours
Stay well-hydrated post-treatment to support the HA’s hydration effect

What to Expect After Treatment

Immediately after the session, tiny bumps from injection points are visible but resolve within 24–48 hours. Mild swelling or redness is normal. Initial hydration effects are visible within a few days, with the full skin quality improvement (improved texture, elasticity, and glow) becoming apparent 2–4 weeks after the course is completed. The results typically last 6–9 months, after which a maintenance session is recommended.
