Skin Boosters

What makes skin boosters different from dermal fillers?

Unlike dermal fillers, which are used to restore volume and shape, skin boosters are designed to enhance skin tone, texture, and hydration. Skin boosters are injectable treatments that work by improving the condition of the skin, not its structure. They’re ideal for clients who want to look refreshed without looking “done.”

How do skin boosters actually work?

Skin boosters work by using ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, polynucleotides, or PRP that are injected into the skin in a grid or microdroplet pattern. The treatment involves placing these substances within the skin layers, where they attract moisture, stimulate collagen production, and improve skin elasticity and resilience. The result is a long-term improvement in skin quality, hydration, and firmness.

What are the benefits beyond hydration?

In addition to delivering an improvement in skin hydration, skin boosters help with a wide array of concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, poor texture, and dull skin. They can also play a key role in reviving sun-damaged skin and smoothing wrinkles, and are safe to use around the eyes, where other injectables may not be suitable.

Where can skin boosters be used?

Skin boosters can be used on almost any area where the skin needs renewal. The most popular areas include the face, especially facial skin on the cheeks, jawline, and forehead; the neck and décolletage for tightening and radiance; the hands to reverse ageing signs; and sun-damaged skin zones. They’re especially effective for dehydrated skin and uneven tone.

How many sessions do I need?

Typically, a series of skin booster treatments is required for optimal results. Most patients begin with 2–3 sessions, spaced 3–4 weeks apart. After that, maintenance treatments every 4–6 months help maintain skin radiance, elasticity, and texture. The results from skin boosters are gradual but enduring, with clients noticing how skin appears smoother and more luminous after each session.

Can they be combined with other treatments?

Absolutely. Skin boosters are often part of an integrated aesthetic strategy. They pair exceptionally well with Botox to soften expression lines and dermal fillers to restore volume. When used in combination, skin boosters enhance the skin’s natural appearance and amplify the effects of other injectables. This synergy is especially valuable for treating fine lines and wrinkles or improving skin before events.

Why our aesthetic patients should consider a mole check

Over the years, Dr. Bela has identified multiple melanomas on his aesthetic patients—often in areas they hadn’t noticed themselves. In one notable case, during a Botox consultation, he spotted a small but suspicious lesion on a patient’s forehead. When reviewing previous treatment photos, it became clear that the melanoma had gradually developed over time, becoming increasingly visible across sessions. Despite its small size, the lesion was already an early invasive melanoma—but was thankfully detected in time. This case is just one of several examples highlighting how melanoma can remain hidden in plain sight. For this reason, Dr. Bela now offers a discounted mole check for all existing aesthetic patients, making it easier to combine cosmetic care with life-saving early detection.
