While face creams can go far in achieving a surface-level glow, ‘injectable moisturisers’ are taking your quest for radiant skin even deeper. Also known as skin boosters, they plump, nourish and hydrate your pores from within, giving you a noticeably rejuvenated look that’s instant and long-lasting.
So, let’s explore everything you need to know about skin boosters, from the youth-boosting benefits they offer to how you can choose your ideal injectable…
What are skin boosters?
Skin boosters fall into the aesthetics world’s ‘tweakments’ category. They’re injectable treatments that plump, enhance and repair your skin without changing your facial structure (unlike fillers – but more on that below). They’re referred to as injectable skincare because they deliver many of the benefits you crave from your face creams. But, unlike your topicals, their benefits are guaranteed, last much longer and appear immediately.
Most skin boosters harness injectable hyaluronic acid (HA), a moisture magnet that’s naturally occurring in your skin but depletes over time. By dialling it up, you reap its dew-boosting, hydrating rewards, leaving skin smoother and more supple with a fresh, luminous finish. But that’s not all; these injectables, like potent serums, also feature vitamins and other powerful compounds, such as amino acids in Jalupro and polynucleotides in Ameela. After talking with you about your skin goals, your Mallucci expert can help you find the perfect blend of ingredients, so you can treat tired pores to the skin booster they’re best suited to.
So, what are the benefits of skin boosters?
Deep hydration
While serums and moisturisers are key to healthy, supple skin, they can’t penetrate deep enough to lend a lasting or instant effect. That’s where skin boosters come in. Rather than massaging a cream into your skin, your Mallucci expert injects hydration precisely where you need it, helping skin to attract and retain water for the perfect balance of moisture.
Super soothing
Depending on the skin booster you choose – something your Mallucci expert can help you with – your injectable may be able to treat such concerns as acne and rosacea. This is the case with Ameela polynucleotide treatment, which harnesses anti-inflammatory ingredients to calm and soothe inflamed skin. Skin boosters also help to repair damage from UV rays and day-to-day aggressors.
Brightness boosting
Their hydrating properties make skin boosters your go-to for giving pores a dewy glow, but the brightening benefits don’t stop there. Some of these injectables can also reduce the appearance of dark circles around the eyes and even help to fade hyperpigmentation by increasing cell repair and regeneration.
Skin enhancement
Like the ‘no-makeup makeup’ of the aesthetics industry, skin boosters enhance your skin with a radiant glow and a gentle plumping effect that softens fine lines and wrinkles. They work with your skin’s natural processes to boost the production of essential proteins, such as collagen and elastin. The result: skin that’s noticeably smoothed and nourished from within.
Natural-looking
No one will be able to tell your newly luminous skin came courtesy of an injectable. Skin boosters offer hyper-real results that are all about nourishment and radiance instead of volume. So, there’s no tell-tale fullness left behind; just the smoothing and plumping of crepey skin. You might need to book a holiday though, so you’ve got your excuse ready when they ask, ‘Have you just been away?’
Low downtime
Because they’re minimally invasive, skin boosters lead to low (and sometimes no) downtime. You may experience very slight bruising or swelling at the injection site, which will disappear within a few days of your treatment. Plus, the treatment itself isn’t painful – you’ll only experience a slight pinching sensation. For it to be completely painless, your practitioner can apply a numbing before skin is boosted.
Fillers vs. skin boosters: what’s the difference?
They’re both injectables and they both commonly harness hyaluronic acid, but that’s where the similarities between dermal fillers and skin boosters end. While filler is all about adding volume to your features with cross-linked hyaluronic acid that ‘clumps’ and fills targeted areas, skin boosters put the focus on moisture, with the HA spreading evenly throughout your face. So, a booster like Profhilo isn’t going to sculpt and define or give you fuller lips. Instead, it softens fine lines, restores lost hydration and smooths texture for a ‘your skin but brighter’ effect.
Find your perfect skin booster
We offer three skin boosters at Mallucci: Profhilo, Ameela and Jalupro. So, how do you pick the right one for your skin concerns? It’s simple; our team of experts helps you choose during your consultation. Your goals are our goals, and we work with you to create your tailored treatment plan, ensuring you get the results you want.
But first, take a closer look at the skin boosters we offer…
Profhilo
Profhilo is all about the glow. By smoothing your skin texture and softening lines, it creates a taut, light-reflective complexion that appears radiant from the inside out. This booster contains one of the highest concentrations of hyaluronic acid on the market, which is ideal for treating crepey areas and improving elasticity. It’s like a hydrating, plumping serum but much more efficient. Think instant effects that are targeted exactly where you need them, and don’t need daily top-ups. Profhilo makes the light love your skin.
Ameela Polynucleotides
One of the most hydrating skin boosters you can book is Ameela. It sees polynucleotides injected into target areas, and because they’re naturally occurring, they have high biocompatibility. They stimulate cell growth and regeneration to reverse the signs of ageing and damage, while plumping and very gently filling out fine lines and wrinkles to improve your skin texture. Plus they’re anti-inflammatory, so they can help calm acne and rosacea-prone complexions. The results are not only fast but significant, making you look fresh, dewy and bright instantly.
Jalupro Amino Acids
By triggering the production of amino acids in your skin, Jalupro helps to support your collagen supply for smoother, firmer skin. It’s a subtle alternative to fillers, reducing the appearance of wrinkles, sagging and hollowing, so you enjoy a plumping effect that appears entirely natural. Choose between three Jalupro treatments at Mallucci: Jalupro Young Eyes to target crow’s feet and lift brows, Jalupro HMW to eradicate deep skin depressions, and Jalupro Super Hydro to flood dry skin with high levels of hyaluronic acid.
How long do the effects of skin boosters last?
This varies from person to person, as it all depends on your skin type, the concerns you’re treating, and how well your complexion is cared for after your treatment. But, in general, you expect skin booster results to last for at least six months. Make sure you apply (and reapply) SPF daily, and follow a consistent skincare routine to lock down your glow.
