Skin boosters
from £220, exact price in your written plan
Hydration put back into dull, crepey skin on the face, neck or hands. Two sessions, four weeks apart, and your skin looks fresher by the second.
- What it is
- Tiny amounts of a thin hyaluronic acid placed just under the skin with a fine needle. It hydrates rather than adds volume.
- Who it suits
- Skin that looks dull, dry or crepey. Not for anyone pregnant, breastfeeding or under 18.
- Who it doesn't
- If you want lift or shape, a booster will not give it, and we will say so.
- How it feels
- A numbing cream first, then a series of small pricks.
- Downtime
- Small bumps for a day, sometimes a little bruising.
- How long it lasts
- About six months, then one top-up session.
- Risks
- Bruising, small bumps and, rarely, infection, which is why it is done in a clinic room and reviewed.
- Review
- Beth checks you at the second session and again at two weeks.
