Skin Boosters in Kingston upon Thames
Skin boosters treat the quality of the skin itself rather than adding volume or restricting movement. They are for skin that looks tired, dehydrated or crepey rather than lined.
Polynucleotides
A regenerative treatment that supports cellular repair and stimulates collagen production. Particularly beneficial for delicate areas such as the under-eye region, improving texture and resilience over time.
from £300 per session
Profhilo
A highly purified hyaluronic acid treatment that stimulates collagen and elastin production, enhancing hydration and firmness while maintaining natural facial harmony.
from £300 per session
1. Profhilo
Profhilo is a highly concentrated stabilised hyaluronic acid, injected at five specific points on each side of the face. Rather than filling, it spreads through the tissue and stimulates the skin's own production of collagen and elastin.
It suits skin that has lost firmness and looks dull or dehydrated. It does not add volume and will not change facial proportion.
Two sessions four weeks apart, then maintenance every six months.
2. Polynucleotides
Polynucleotides are purified DNA fragments that support tissue repair and improve skin quality at a cellular level. They are particularly useful in the under-eye area, where they improve skin thickness, hydration and pigmentation without the risks of filler.
For patients with under-eye concerns who are not suitable for tear trough filler, polynucleotides are often the better answer.
A course of three sessions two to three weeks apart is standard.
3. Which is right for you
Profhilo is broader and works across the face for overall skin quality. Polynucleotides are more targeted and more regenerative, and are the stronger option for the under-eye area and for thin, damaged or sensitive skin. Some patients benefit from both in sequence. This is decided at consultation.
Profhilo
Broad, whole-face skin quality — firmness, dullness, dehydration.
2 sessions, 4 weeks apart, then 6-monthly maintenance
Polynucleotides
Targeted, regenerative — best for under-eyes and thin or sensitive skin.
Course of 3, every 2–3 weeks
4. What to expect
Treatment takes fifteen to twenty minutes. Small raised bumps at the injection points settle within a few hours for Profhilo, and there is minimal downtime beyond possible light bruising. Results build over four to eight weeks as the skin remodels.

7. Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between skin boosters and dermal filler?
Filler adds structure and volume in a defined place. Skin boosters improve the quality of the skin across an area and do not change shape.
Is there downtime?
Minimal. Small bumps at the injection sites settle within hours; occasional light bruising resolves in a few days.
When will I see results?
Skin quality changes build over four to eight weeks, with the fullest effect after a completed course.
Are polynucleotides safe under the eyes?
Yes, and they are often preferable to filler in that area for patients whose concern is skin quality rather than hollowing.
