Skin boosters are injectable hyaluronic acid treatments designed to deeply hydrate the skin from within. Unlike dermal fillers, which are designed to add volume and structure, skin boosters use a very soft, fluid form of hyaluronic acid that spreads through the dermis to improve hydration, elasticity, and overall skin quality.
The most well-known skin booster brands include Restylane Skinboosters (Vital and Vital Light), Juvederm Volite, and Teosyal Redensity. Each has slightly different formulations, but all work on the same principle of delivering hydrating HA into the mid-dermis.
Skin boosters are often confused with Profhilo, but they are different products. Profhilo is a bio-remodelling agent that stimulates collagen and elastin production. Skin boosters primarily provide hydration and a subtle improvement in skin quality. Both can be used together for a comprehensive skin quality treatment programme.
As with all HA injectables, there is a small risk of vascular occlusion. Ensure your practitioner carries hyaluronidase and knows how to manage vascular complications. Avoid treatment if you have active skin infections, inflammation, or a known allergy to hyaluronic acid.

Skin boosters are prescription-only medicines and should be administered by a qualified prescriber. Ensure your practitioner has specific training in the product they are using and understands the anatomy of the treatment area. Ask about their protocol for managing vascular complications.
