What Are Skin Boosters?
Skin boosters are minimally invasive injectable treatments designed to deeply hydrate, rejuvenate, and improve the overall quality of your skin. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, which primarily restore volume and enhance facial contours, skin boosters focus on improving skin hydration, elasticity, texture, and radiance from within.
At CosMedic, Dr Lerissa Chetty offers personalised skin booster treatments to help restore your skin's natural glow, soften fine lines, and promote a smoother, healthier-looking complexion.
Our Approach...
At CosMedic, skin boosters are more than a hydration treatment; they're a personalised approach to achieving healthier, more radiant skin. Dr Chetty carefully assesses your skin's condition and individual concerns to create a tailored treatment plan that enhances skin quality while preserving your natural appearance.
Our focus is on subtle, natural-looking rejuvenation, helping your skin feel refreshed, hydrated, and revitalised without dramatically changing your facial features.
Best Suited to...
Skin boosters are ideal for individuals experiencing dullness, dehydration, fine lines, uneven skin texture, or a loss of elasticity. They are particularly beneficial for those looking to restore moisture and improve overall skin quality without adding noticeable volume or changing their natural facial contours.
This treatment is well suited to individuals who prefer a subtle approach to skin rejuvenation, achieving a fresher, smoother, and more radiant appearance while maintaining their natural features.
Skin boosters can also be used on areas beyond the face, including the neck, décolletage, and hands, where dryness, fine lines, and changes in skin quality may become more noticeable with age. Treatment suitability depends on the product selected and your individual skin needs.

Treatment Process
Consultation
Your journey begins with a personalised consultation, where Dr Chetty evaluates your skin condition, discusses your concerns, and recommends a suitable skin booster treatment based on your individual needs and aesthetic goals.
Procedure
Skin boosters are administered through a series of carefully placed micro-injections into targeted areas of the skin. Depending on the product used, these injections deliver hydrating ingredients, commonly hyaluronic acid, to help improve moisture retention, skin texture, and overall skin quality. A topical numbing cream may be applied to enhance comfort.
Aftercare
Following treatment, you may experience temporary redness, mild swelling, tenderness, or small bumps at the injection sites. These effects generally settle within a few days. Dr Chetty will provide personalised aftercare instructions to support recovery and help you achieve the best possible results.

FAQs
1 / How long do skin boosters last?
Results typically last between 6 and 12 months, depending on the product used, your skin condition, lifestyle, and individual response. Maintenance treatments may be recommended to help preserve hydration and skin quality.
2 / Are skin boosters painful?
Most patients experience only mild discomfort during treatment. A topical numbing cream may be applied beforehand, and certain skin booster formulations contain a local anaesthetic to improve comfort.
3 / Can skin boosters be combined with other treatments?
Yes. Skin boosters may complement other aesthetic treatments, including anti-wrinkle injections, dermal fillers, microneedling, and selected biostimulation procedures. Dr Chetty will recommend suitable combinations and treatment intervals based on your individual needs.
4 / What are the side effects of skin boosters?
Common temporary side effects include redness, swelling, tenderness, bruising, and small bumps at the injection sites. Less common but serious complications, including infection or vascular complications, are possible with injectable treatments. These risks will be discussed during your consultation.
5 / How many skin booster treatments will I need?
The number of treatments depends on the product selected and your individual skin concerns. Some skin boosters require an initial course of two or three sessions spaced several weeks apart, while others may require fewer treatments. Maintenance sessions can help sustain results.
6 / When will I see results from skin boosters?
Some patients notice improved hydration and radiance within the first few weeks. Improvements in skin texture, elasticity, and overall quality may develop gradually over several weeks, depending on the formulation used and your individual response.
