Skin Boosters: Injectable Bio-Revitalisation for Hydration, Elasticity & Glow

Clinical Overview

Skin boosters are injectable aesthetic treatments designed to improve the quality, texture, and hydration of the skin without adding volume or altering facial structure. Unlike dermal fillers, which focus on contour and projection, skin boosters work on the dermal matrix itself—stimulating collagen and elastin, improving water retention, and supporting long-term skin health.

At Reviva Aesthetics, we offer a curated selection of next-generation skin boosters formulated with hyaluronic acid, amino acids, peptides, polynucleotides, or biostimulatory agents. These include options such as Doubly, X-Evo (Exovx), Karisma, Pro Define Retouch, Jalupro, Profhilo, and Sculptra. Each product is selected according to individual skin concerns, age, and desired treatment depth—allowing for full customisation across the face, neck, décolletage, hands, and even body areas.

Ideal Candidate Profile

• Clients with dry, crepey, or dull skin lacking firmness and glow
• Individuals with early signs of ageing, fine lines, or dermal thinning
• Post-acne or sun-damaged skin in need of regeneration and structural support
• Suitable for men and women of all ages looking to enhance skin quality naturally
• Ideal as a standalone protocol or as part of a broader anti-aging plan

Treatment Protocol

1. Personalised Consultation and Skin Assessment

A thorough skin analysis is performed to determine the most appropriate product based on hydration needs, dermal thickness, and structural concerns.

2. Numbing and Preparation

A topical anaesthetic is applied for 10–15 minutes to ensure comfort. The skin is then cleansed and prepped under aseptic technique.

3. Microinjection Delivery

The selected skin booster is administered via a series of microinjections into the mid to deep dermis using one of the following techniques, depending on the product:

• Micro-droplet injections for superficial glow and hydration
• Linear threading or bolus injections for deep dermal support and bio-remodelling
• Cannula technique for diffuse distribution in areas such as the cheeks or neck
• Common treatment zones include:
• Face (cheeks, under-eyes, forehead, jawline)
• Neck and décolletage
• Hands or elbows (for hydration and firmness)

4. Finishing Phase

A soothing recovery cream and high-factor SPF are applied. Home care is reviewed and provided where necessary.

Total treatment time: 30–45 minutes

Post-Treatment Care Guidelines

• Avoid makeup, heat, and sun exposure for 24–48 hours
• Refrain from alcohol, heavy exercise, and other aesthetic treatments for 48–72 hours
• Do not apply active skincare ingredients (retinol, AHAs, vitamin C) for 5–7 days
• Minor swelling, small lumps, or bruising at injection sites may occur and usually subside within 24–72 hours
• Keep the skin well hydrated and protected with broad-spectrum SPF

Recommended Treatment Frequency

• Most skin booster treatments are performed in a course of 2 sessions spaced 3–4 weeks apart
• Biostimulatory products like Sculptra or Profhilo may be spaced 4–6 weeks apart depending on the formulation
• Maintenance: every 4–6 months or as recommended based on age, skin type, and environmental factors
• Results build progressively, with improved hydration and glow visible within 7–10 days, and deeper structural results becoming evident over 4–8 weeks.
