Skin Boosters in Cambridge
What are skin boosters?
Skin boosters are injectable treatments that can help skin look more hydrated, smoother and fresher.
They are often used when skin feels dry or looks dull, or when fine lines and a crepey texture start to become more noticeable. The aim is to improve the appearance of the skin itself, without changing the shape of your face.
How do skin boosters work?
Hyaluronic acid is naturally found in the skin and helps it retain moisture. Skin booster treatments place small amounts of product into the skin to help improve hydration and texture.
There are several types of skin booster, and they do not all work in quite the same way. At Elemental Aesthetics, we offer Profhilo, Sunekos, ICONA H8 and Teoxane babyGLOW™. Arwa will recommend a treatment based on your skin and what you would like to improve.
We also offer polynucleotide treatments using Plinest and ICONA. These are a different type of injectable treatment that may be considered for concerns such as thin or crepey-looking skin. Arwa can explain the difference during your consultation.

What can skin boosters help with?
Skin boosters may help improve the appearance of:
Dry or dehydrated skin
Dull or tired-looking skin
Fine lines
Uneven texture
Crepey-looking skin
Depending on the treatment, they can be used on the face and areas such as the neck, décolleté and hands.
Skin boosters will not lift loose skin or replace volume that has been lost from the face. Sometimes another treatment will be a better choice.
Are skin boosters right for me?
That depends on what is bothering you about your skin. If it feels dry or looks less smooth and fresh than it used to, a skin booster may be worth considering.
At your consultation, Arwa will assess your skin, ask about your medical history and discuss what you hope to achieve. She will let you know which treatment is likely to suit you, or whether something else would make more sense.
This is particularly important around the eyes. Dark circles, puffiness and hollowing can have different causes, so an under-eye treatment is not always the answer.
Can skin boosters be combined with other treatments?
Yes. A skin booster can be part of a wider treatment plan alongside microneedling, anti-wrinkle injections, dermal fillers or other skin treatments.
These treatments do different jobs. For example, a skin booster may help with hydration and texture, while another treatment addresses a different concern. Arwa will advise which combination makes sense for your skin and how to space the treatments.
Why choose Elemental Aesthetics for skin boosters in Cambridge?
Treatments at Elemental Aesthetics are carried out by Arwa, a clinical pharmacist. She will take time to understand your concerns and explain what a treatment can realistically achieve before you decide whether to go ahead.
Having a choice of skin boosters and polynucleotide treatments means the recommendation can be based on your skin, rather than trying to make one product work for everyone.
What happens during treatment?
Your appointment begins with a consultation and skin assessment. If you decide to go ahead, the skin is cleansed and small amounts of product are injected into the agreed area.
You may have small bumps at the injection points immediately afterwards. Redness, tenderness, swelling or bruising are also possible. Arwa will explain what to expect from your particular treatment and give you aftercare advice before you leave.
How many treatments sessions will I need?
This depends on the treatment used and what you want to improve. Some skin boosters are given as a short course, with maintenance treatments later on.
Arwa will recommend a plan at your consultation and explain when you might expect to see a change. Results vary from person to person and are usually gradual.
