Skin Boosters London
Deep Hydration & Radiance: Refined by Paris. Perfected by Seoul
Skin Boosters are one of the most transformative injectable treatments available today. A single course of treatment delivers deep, lasting hydration at the cellular level — restoring the luminous, healthy glow that stress, age, and environment gradually take away.
At PHP Aesthetic, Skin Boosters are administered at our clinic by our expert medical team — internationally recognised in aesthetic medicine and pioneers of The French Touch — from our clinic at 22 Harley Street, London.
What Are Skin Boosters?
Skin Boosters are injectable hyaluronic acid (HA) treatments delivered directly into the deep layers of the skin using a series of micro-injections. Unlike dermal fillers, which add structure and volume, Skin Boosters are designed to work from within — replenishing the skin’s natural moisture reserves, improving elasticity, and restoring radiance at a cellular level.
The active ingredient, hyaluronic acid, is a naturally occurring substance already present in your skin. It has a remarkable ability to attract and retain water — holding up to 1,000 times its own weight in moisture. As we age, our natural HA levels decline, leaving the skin looking dull, tired, and dehydrated. Skin Boosters replenish this loss directly where it is needed most.
The French Touch difference
At PHP Aesthetic, Dr Philippe uses a precise, low-trauma injection technique developed through 15 years of international clinical practice. The result is a natural, radiant improvement — never overdone, never artificial. This is the foundation of The French Touch: results that enhance your own natural beauty.
How Do Skin Boosters Work?
The treatment works in three stages:
01
Immediate deep hydration
From the moment of injection, the hyaluronic acid begins to attract and bind water molecules in the deep dermis. Within 24-48 hours, the skin appears noticeably more hydrated, plump, and luminous. This is the immediate glow that patients often notice the morning after their first session.
Collagen stimulation
Over the following weeks, the presence of hyaluronic acid in the dermis stimulates your skin’s own collagen production. Collagen is the structural protein responsible for skin firmness and elasticity. As levels gradually decline from our mid-twenties, replenishing the environment that supports collagen synthesis has a lasting rejuvenating effect.
02
03
Long-term skin quality improvement
After a full course of 3 sessions, patients report sustained improvement in skin texture, tone, and resilience. The skin becomes better at retaining moisture independently a genuine improvement in skin quality rather than a surface effect.
Who Are Skin Boosters Suitable For?
Skin Boosters are suitable for a wide range of patients and concerns. Dr Philippe will assess your skin during a consultation and recommend the most appropriate protocol.
Ideal candidates include patients who:
- Notice their skin looks dull, tired, or dehydrated
- Want to restore the healthy glow of younger skin
- Have fine lines caused by dehydration rather than muscle movement
- Are preparing for a special occasion and want a rapid improvement
- Have sun-damaged or stressed skin needing deep restoration
- Want to maintain and extend the results of other aesthetic treatments
- Are in their 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s or beyond — there is no upper age limit

Skin Boosters vs Polynucleotides vs Exosomes Which Is Right for Me?
All three treatments improve skin quality — but they work differently and are best suited to different concerns and skin types. This table will help you understand the difference. Dr Philippe will recommend the ideal treatment or combination during your consultation.
Many patients achieve the best results by combining treatments. For example: Skin Boosters for immediate deep hydration, followed by Polynucleotides for long-term tissue regeneration. Dr Philippe will discuss the optimal protocol for your skin during your consultation.
