Skin boosters are injectable treatments that improve skin quality rather than shape. Most are based on hyaluronic acid, sometimes combined with amino acids, polynucleotides or other actives. They hydrate deeply, improve elasticity and give a smoother, more radiant look without changing your features.
Why Choose Charisma for Skin Boosters
- Brand choice by concern — Profhilo, Jalupro, Sunekos, polynucleotides and other boosters matched to your skin.
- Layered plans — combining boosters with lasers or RF for broader results.
- Face, neck, hands and under-eye — area-specific techniques.
- Maintenance scheduling — so results do not fade unnoticed.
What Are Skin Boosters?
Skin boosters are injected into the dermis in small amounts. Unlike fillers, they spread through the skin rather than sitting in one spot. Hyaluronic acid draws in water, while added ingredients signal fibroblasts to produce collagen and elastin.
Profhilo vs Skin Boosters: Which Do You Need?
- Profhilo — very high hyaluronic acid concentration, injected at five points per side. Best for laxity and firmness. Usually 2 sessions a month apart.
- Classic skin boosters — many micro-injections or microneedling across the area. Best for dehydration, fine lines and texture.
Skin Booster Brands Compared
- Profhilo — bio-remodelling hyaluronic acid for firmness.
- Jalupro Classic and Super Hydro — amino acids with hyaluronic acid; Super Hydro adds peptides for deeper hydration.
- Sunekos — hyaluronic acid with six amino acids for collagen and elastin; used on face and under-eye.
- Polynucleotides (Salmon DNA, Rejuran) — support repair and thickness, useful for thin or sensitive skin.
- Juvéderm Volite — a light hyaluronic acid booster for hydration and smoothness.

Skin Boosters for the UAE Climate
Strong sun and long hours in air-conditioned spaces dry the skin and speed collagen loss. Boosters restore water-holding capacity, and many patients in Dubai schedule a top-up before summer and another before winter events.

FAQs
How long do skin boosters last?
Usually 6 to 12 months with maintenance.
Are skin boosters permanent?
No. Hyaluronic acid breaks down naturally.
What age is best for skin boosters?
They suit adults from their mid-20s onwards, depending on skin needs.
Are skin boosters better than Botox?
They do different jobs. Boosters improve skin quality; Botox relaxes expression lines. Many patients use both.

With numbing cream, discomfort is mild.
