What is it
Skin booster treatments deliver deep hydration directly into the skin using micro-injections of hyaluronic acid and bio-stimulating compounds. Popular options include traditional HA skin boosters, Profhilo (a next-generation HA treatment that also stimulates collagen), and Rejuran (salmon DNA extract for skin repair and rejuvenation).
Who is it for
Ideal for anyone with dry, dull, or dehydrated skin, or those wanting to improve overall skin quality, fine lines, and radiance. Skin boosters work well as a standalone treatment or as a complement to other procedures. Suitable for all ages and skin types.
Recovery time
Minimal. You may have small red dots at injection points for 1–2 days. Profhilo can cause tiny bumps at the 5 injection points per side, which flatten within 24 hours. No significant downtime — most people return to normal activities immediately.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between skin boosters and Profhilo?
Traditional skin boosters inject small amounts of HA across the face for direct hydration. Profhilo uses a high concentration of pure HA that spreads under the skin and stimulates your own collagen and elastin production. Think of skin boosters as a hydration treatment and Profhilo as a skin remodelling treatment — Profhilo offers better anti-aging benefits, while boosters give more immediate plumping and glow.
How much do skin boosters cost in Melbourne?
HA skin boosters typically cost $300–$600 per session. Profhilo is $600–$900 per session. Most treatments require an initial course of 2–3 sessions spaced 3–4 weeks apart, followed by maintenance every 3–6 months.
How often should I get skin boosters?
For the initial course, sessions are spaced every 3–4 weeks (usually 2–3 sessions total). After that, maintenance every 3–6 months keeps your skin hydrated and glowing. Your practitioner will recommend a schedule based on your skin's response.
