Skin boosters are injectable hyaluronic acid treatments used to support hydration and fine texture without adding facial volume or changing your contours. At The Therapy Studio in Rimington, around ten minutes from Clitheroe, the guide price is from £125 a session, usually as a short course of two or three.
What a skin booster treats
Dullness, dryness, fine crepey lines and skin that has lost its bounce. Boosters are placed in small amounts across an area so the whole surface improves rather than one line being filled.
Some products also carry vitamins and antioxidants, which can suit skin that is tired, sun-exposed or under strain from lifestyle.
Where they can be used
Face, neck, décolletage and the backs of the hands are the usual areas. Under-eye skin can sometimes be treated, depending on suitability.
Boosters sit well alongside anti-wrinkle injections or microneedling as part of a wider plan, spaced sensibly apart.

Aftercare and what to expect
- •Tiny pinprick marks or bumps usually settle within a few hours to a day.
- •Leave make-up off for the rest of the day and skip the gym, sauna and alcohol for 24 hours.
- •Drink plenty of water and use SPF daily — hydration in the skin holds better when it is protected.
