Treatments

Skin boosters

Hydration placed into the skin itself rather than sitting on top of it. Subtle, gradual, and quietly the treatment people rebook most.

What it is

A series of very fine placements of hydrating hyaluronic acid across the areas that have lost their bounce. It does not change your shape or add volume — it improves the quality of the skin, which is a different and much more flattering thing.

What people choose it for

  • Skin that looks tired however much you sleep
  • Fine lines that are really dehydration
  • Dull, flat-looking cheeks
  • A natural glow before a big occasion

What to expect

  1. 01

    Map and numb

    We agree the areas together and apply numbing cream, which sits for twenty minutes or so.

  2. 02

    The placements

    A series of tiny, quick placements across the area. It takes around twenty minutes and is far more comfortable than people expect.

  3. 03

    Settle

    Small raised points are normal and usually gone within a day. Skin is calmed and protected before you leave.

Good to know

Questions people actually ask

Will it change how my face looks?

No. Boosters improve skin quality rather than adding volume, so nothing about your shape changes. People tend to say you look well rather than different.

How many will I need?

Two to three sessions four weeks apart to begin, then one every six months or so to keep it.

When will I see a difference?

Skin feels better within a week and looks its best at around four, which is why we space the course the way we do.

Is there much bruising?

Small bruises are possible and usually cover easily. Most people go back to normal the same day.

Suitability, aftercare and the honest bits

Expect small raised points and occasional light bruising for twenty-four to forty-eight hours. Leave the area alone, skip the gym and hot yoga that day, and no makeup until the next morning. Not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, over active skin infection, or if you have had a reaction to hyaluronic acid before.
