Hydrating skin boosters

As we age or face environmental stress, our skin loses moisture, elasticity, and that youthful glow. This is where hydrating skin boosters, like Profhilo and Restylane Vital come in. These injectable treatments deliver deep, long-lasting hydration and stimulate collagen production – restoring radiance without changing facial expressions and structure. 

What are Hydrating Skin Boosters? 

Hydrating skin boosters are injectable treatments designed to deeply hydrate and improve the quality of your skin. Unlike traditional fillers, they don’t add volume or reshape your features. Instead, they deliver hyaluronic acid, a naturally occuring substance in the skin, directly into the dermis to restore moisture and elasticity from within.

The two options we recommend are:

  • Profhilo: Known for its bio-remodelling properties and ultra-pure formulation, Profhilo® spreads evenly under the skin to hydrate, smooth, and stimulate the production of collagen and elastin.
  • Restylane Vital: A highly effective skin booster, that works by targeting fine lines and texture, all while improving the firmness, hydration, and luminosity of the skin.

Skin boosters are ideal for clients who want to act on the first signs of ageing. Consequently improving the overall condition of the skin.

How the treatment works:

Unlike surface-level creams or serums, Profhilo and Restylane Vital work from the inside out.

Once injected, these boosters slowly release hyaluronic acid into the deeper layers of the skin. This hydration stimulates your body’s own collagen and elastin production. These are key elements for firm, healthy skin.

  • Profhilo acts like a “skin scaffold,” spreading through the tissue to boost overall hydration and skin texture. Its unique formulation contains one of the highest concentrations of hyaluronic acid on the market.
  • Restylane Vital, on the other hand, works through microinjections across the treatment area, improving elasticity, smoothness, and tone with visible precision.
When to expect results:

While everyone’s skin responds differently, most people begin to notice improvements within one to two weeks after their first treatment. 

  • Profhilo: Results often become visible after the second session, usually spaced about 4 weeks apart. Skin feels firmer, smoother, and more luminous.
  • Restylane Vital: Improvements can appear after just one session, with full results developing after a series of 2–3 treatments, spaced 2–4 weeks apart.

The effects of both boosters can last up to 6 to 9 months, depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and the specific product used. Regular maintenance treatments will keep your skin looking fresh, hydrated, and youthful.
