In response to the growing interest and curiosity about injectable skincare treatments from the public, Thérapie Clinic, Europe’s number one medical aesthetic clinic group, reveals its Ultimate Guide to Skin Boosters, dissecting the most popular treatments, who they are best suited for and what type of results to expect. From improving skin hydration to targeting fine lines and tired under-eyes, the expert guide answers everything customers need to know including common questions such as what exactly is a skin booster? How is it different from filler? How to know which treatment is right for them? Check it out here..
A new era of aesthetics is emerging, with consumers moving away from instant transformations and towards subtle treatments that enhance and maintain natural beauty over time. Leading this shift is the rise of “injectable skincare”, also known as skin boosters, designed to hydrate, rejuvenate and improve overall skin quality from within. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, skin boosters don’t alter facial structure or add volume.
With celebrities like Margot Robbie recently embracing a "real skin" aesthetic that highlights natural features and texture and Jodie Comer emphasising taking care of the skin “from within,” the shift toward a gentler approach to skin health is clear - making skin boosters an ideal treatment choice. These skin treatments work beneath the surface to boost luminosity, improve texture and overall skin health (without altering facial structure), making them an increasingly popular choice for those seeking preventative skincare treatments.
Commenting on the trend Dr. Tom Cryan, Medical Aesthetics Doctor at Thérapie Clinic says: ‘For many clients, skin boosters are a natural extension of good skincare. They are particularly appealing to those who are curious about aesthetics but might not be ready to take the leap into anti-wrinkle injections, filler or other similar cosmetic treatments. Skin boosters are a softer introduction to aesthetics that increase skin hydration from the inside out ensuring the skin looks fresher and more radiant, without noticeably altering the skin. Every treatment plan is tailored to the individual, considering their skin concerns, age, lifestyle and desired results.’
The guide highlights the most popular skin booster treatments available at Thérapie Clinic locations nationwide, including:
Restylane Skinboosters:
What is it? - A clinically proven hyaluronic acid injectable skin booster designed to deeply hydrate the skin from within, improving texture, radiance, and elasticity without adding volume or altering facial features.
What to expect - An initial consultation followed by treatment administered by a qualified medical professional at Thérapie Clinic. The procedure involves multiple microinjections of hyaluronic acid into the skin to restore hydration and stimulate collagen and elastin. A course of 2–3 sessions approximately 4 weeks apart is recommended, with gradual improvements in skin quality in the weeks following treatment.
Best for? - Individuals looking to improve skin hydration, smoothness, and elasticity, as well as reduce fine lines, uneven texture, dullness, or mild scarring. Suitable for a wide range of skin types and tones, and ideal for those seeking natural-looking skin quality enhancement rather than volume.
Age range - 25+ (for those who have good skin elasticity but want a boost in texture and glow.)
Price - €186 per session
Speaking on the growing interest in skin boosters, Dr Raymond Seedhoo, Cosmetic Injector at Thérapie Clinic, says: “Skin boosters are becoming increasingly popular because they offer something that many clients are now prioritising – a more modest approach to healthier-looking skin. Clients want to improve and maintain skin health while still looking and feeling like themselves. As with all treatments, it’s important for clients to understand what a skin booster treatment involves, and for us as doctors to give our expert recommendation based on the individual’s wants and skin needs. Treatments like Restylane Skinboosters for example, are ideal for clients looking for a deeply hydrating approach from within, targeting fine lines, uneven texture or dullness, with results expected at a more gradual pace.”
SkinVive
What is it? - An FDA-approved hyaluronic acid injectable skin booster designed to improve skin hydration, smoothness, and overall quality, particularly in the cheek area, without adding volume or altering facial contours.
What to expect - An initial consultation followed by treatment administered by a qualified medical professional at Thérapie Clinic. The procedure involves microdroplet injections just beneath the skin to enhance hydration and strengthen the skin’s natural moisture barrier. The treatment typically takes 15–30 minutes, with minimal downtime. Results can last up to 9 months following a single treatment.
Best for? -Individuals looking to improve skin hydration, smoothness, and overall radiance, particularly in the cheeks. Ideal for those seeking a subtle, natural-looking glow and improved skin quality without volumising effects. Results seen within 3-4 weeks, this is the perfect treatment for a speedy glow up ahead of an event or special occasion such as weddings, holidays, birthdays.
Price - €499 (2mls) per session
Age range - 21+ (for those with good laxity and collagen but who want a longer term hydration boost for increased radiance.)
Speaking on the benefits of SkinVive, Nicky Reubsamen (RGN) Head of Injectable Growth UK & IE, says: "SkinVive isn't just a skin booster, it's a skin quality treatment in a class of its own. Working within the dermis, it targets smoothness, luminosity, and texture at their source, making it ideal for anyone experiencing dullness, dehydration, or the early signs of ageing or simply those who want their skin to look effortlessly healthy and luminous, with no trace of having had anything done."
HArmonyCA
What is it? - Not a traditional skin booster, as it a hybrid dermal filler that combines hyaluronic acid (HA) for immediate volume and hydration (skin booster element) with calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA) (filler element) to deliver an immediate lifting effect while stimulating long-term collagen production for improved skin structure and firmness.
What to expect - An initial consultation followed by treatment administered by a qualified medical professional at Thérapie Clinic. The procedure takes approximately 20–30 minutes and involves injecting the product into targeted areas of the face to restore volume, lift, and contour, with immediate results and continued improvement over time as collagen production increases. Results are long-lasting, typically between 18–24 months.
Best for? - Individuals looking to address fine lines, wrinkles, and early signs of ageing, as well as those seeking improved skin structure, firmness, and overall facial rejuvenation.
Price - €595 per session
Age range - 30+ (for those who have concerns around laxity and volume but who also want increased hydration and glow.)
Sunekos Eye Révive
What is it? - An injectable skin booster treatment combining hyaluronic acid and amino acids, specifically designed for the delicate under-eye area to stimulate collagen and elastin production and improve skin quality from within.
What to expect - An initial consultation followed by treatment administered by a qualified medical professional at Thérapie Clinic. The procedure involves small injections into the under-eye area to stimulate fibroblast activity, encouraging the production of collagen and elastin. A course of 3–4 sessions, spaced one week apart, is typically recommended. Noticeable improvements in skin texture, brightness, and smoothness can be seen within 7–10 days after the first session, with continued improvement over the course of treatment. There is no downtime, and clients can resume normal activities immediately.

Price - From €265
