Hydration that shows, not shapes.

What are skin boosters?

Skin boosters are a category of injectable treatments built on lightweight, low-density hyaluronic acid — the same hydrating molecule used in dermal filler, but formulated and placed differently. Rather than adding volume or shape, they're distributed in fine micro-droplets just beneath the skin's surface, where they draw in and hold moisture.

The result is skin that looks and feels better from within: more hydrated, more even in texture, with a healthier bounce and glow. Skin boosters don't change the contours of your face — that's the key distinction from dermal filler, and the reason many clients choose them for skin quality rather than shape.

At Radiance, skin boosters are used for general hydration and glow, for improving crepey or dehydrated-looking skin, and as a complement to other treatments where skin quality (not volume) is the main concern.

Is this right for me?

This may be suitable if you want to discuss:

• Dull, dehydrated or tired-looking skin that doesn't respond to skincare alone
• Fine crepey texture, particularly around the cheeks or under the eyes
• A general refresh in skin quality without adding volume or changing your shape
• A lighter-touch alternative or complement to dermal filler
• Long-term skin health as a maintenance treatment, rather than a one-off fix

Not sure? That's exactly what your free consultation is for.

Our approach.

Skin boosters are one of the more forgiving treatments in aesthetics — there's very little risk of looking "done," because nothing is being added in volume. That makes them a good entry point for clients who are curious about injectable treatments but not ready for anything that changes their shape.

The aim is skin that looks healthier and more hydrated, as if you've simply been sleeping well and drinking more water — not skin that looks treated. Results build gradually over a short course of sessions, then settle into a maintenance rhythm every few months.

What to expect at your appointment.

Consultation and suitability check — every appointment begins with a conversation about your skin, your goals and whether skin boosters are the right fit, or whether something else would serve you better.

Treatment plan — April will explain the area to be treated, how many sessions are likely to help, and roughly what to expect along the way.

The treatment itself — a series of fine micro-injections across the treatment area. Around 30 minutes in total, with topical numbing available if needed.

Aftercare advice — clear guidance on what's normal in the first 24–48 hours, including any mild swelling or small bumps, which settle quickly.

Follow-up — guidance on timing for further sessions and ongoing maintenance, based on how your skin responds.

Price and course.

Skin boosters start from £120 per session. A short course of two to three sessions, spaced a few weeks apart, is typically recommended to build results, with maintenance every few months afterwards. April will explain the recommended approach clearly before you decide whether to go ahead.
