Skin Boosters
Skin boosters are injectable treatments designed to improve skin hydration, texture, elasticity and overall skin quality rather than significantly changing facial shape or adding volume.
At Aesculus Clinic, we offer a range of Skin Boosters in New Malden, including Profhilo®, Redensity 1, Sunekos, HydroMax and Jalupro®. Each has different characteristics, which allows us to select a treatment according to your skin, age, concerns and desired outcome rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.
Our focus is simple: healthier-looking skin that still looks like your skin.

What are skin boosters?
Skin boosters are injectable treatments used primarily to improve the quality of the skin.
Many contain hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found within the skin that has an important relationship with hydration and the extracellular environment. Different formulations may also contain other ingredients or use different technologies depending on the product.
Unlike traditional dermal fillers, the primary goal of a skin booster is generally not to sculpt the face or create significant volume.
Instead, treatment focuses on concerns such as dehydration, fine lines, loss of elasticity, dullness and changes in skin texture.
This makes skin boosters particularly appealing to patients who feel that their skin looks tired or less hydrated but don't necessarily want to change their facial features.
What Can Skin Boosters Improve?
Depending on the product selected, skin boosters may be considered for:
Dehydrated skin
Improving hydration can help skin appear fresher, smoother and healthier.
Fine lines and crepey texture
Skin boosters can be particularly useful where the concern is skin quality rather than deeper folds or loss of facial structure.
Dull or tired-looking skin
Improved hydration and skin quality can contribute to a brighter, healthier-looking complexion.
Loss of elasticity
Certain treatments are selected specifically to support skin firmness and elasticity as skin changes with age.
Neck and décolletage
These areas are frequently overlooked but can show dehydration, fine lines and changes in elasticity.
Preventative skin health
You don't necessarily need to wait until skin ageing becomes advanced. Skin boosters can form part of a longer-term approach to maintaining hydration and skin quality.
Which Skin Booster Is Right for Me?
One of the most common questions we hear is:
“Which skin booster is the best?”
The answer is that there isn't one "best" skin booster.
At Aesculus Clinic, we offer skin boosters in New Malden that are backed by evidence and clinical experience.
Profhilo®, Redensity 1, Sunekos, HydroMax and Jalupro® are different formulations, and the most appropriate choice depends on what we are trying to achieve with your skin.
During your consultation, we assess hydration, texture, elasticity, fine lines, skin thickness, areas of concern and your wider treatment goals before recommending a product.
Profhilo®
Profhilo® is a hyaluronic acid-based injectable treatment commonly selected when the aim is to improve hydration, skin quality and laxity rather than create facial volume.
It is particularly popular for the face and neck and can be useful for patients noticing early changes in skin firmness and elasticity.
Profhilo® is often chosen by patients who want a subtle approach to skin rejuvenation without changing their facial contours.
Redensity 1
Redensity 1 is a hyaluronic acid-based skin-quality treatment designed for skin rehydration and improvement in texture and elasticity. It also contains amino acids.
It can be particularly useful where dullness, dehydration and fine lines are concerns and may be used on areas including the face, crow's feet, neck and décolletage.
It is a good example of why we don't view all injectable treatments simply as "filler", the objective here is improving the characteristics of the skin itself.
Sunekos
Sunekos combines hyaluronic acid with amino acids and is used as part of a regenerative approach to improving skin quality, elasticity and fine lines.
It may be considered where the skin is beginning to appear thinner, crepey or less resilient and can be useful when a patient wants gradual improvement rather than additional facial volume. It also a very useful treatment for under-eye concerns.
HydroMax
HydroMax may be selected when hydration, luminosity and overall skin quality are key concerns.
It is the choice of skin booster for patients who want a hydrated skin while targeting fine lines and wrinkles in a natural way.
Jalupro®
Jalupro® combines hyaluronic acid with amino acids and is designed to support improvements in skin quality and elasticity.
Different formulations within the Jalupro® range may be selected depending on the skin concern, treatment area and degree of skin ageing.
Skin Boosters vs Dermal Fillers: What's the Difference?
Although both may contain hyaluronic acid, their treatment objectives are different.
Dermal fillers are generally used to restore or create volume, support facial structure, improve proportions or address particular folds and contours.
Skin boosters focus primarily on the condition of the skin itself, hydration, texture, elasticity, fine lines and overall skin quality.
You may therefore have excellent facial structure but still benefit from improving your skin quality.
Equally, a patient experiencing significant volume loss may need something different from a skin booster.
This is why we treat skin quality and facial structure as related but separate parts of facial ageing.
A Combination Approach to Skin Health
Sometimes a skin booster is exactly what your skin needs. Sometimes it isn't.
Depending on your concerns, your personalised skin plan may also incorporate:
Microneedling for collagen stimulation, texture and acne scarring
PRP as part of a regenerative skin approach
Exosomes alongside appropriate regenerative treatments
Polynucleotides where skin regeneration and quality are priorities
Chemical peels for pigmentation, congestion and surface renewal
Hydrafacial for cleansing, exfoliation and hydration
Dermal fillers where facial volume or structural support rather than skin quality is the primary concern
Combination treatment doesn't mean having everything at once. It means selecting the right treatment, for the right concern, at the right time.
Skin boosters can form part of a preventative and regenerative approach to healthy ageing, particularly when combined with good skincare, sun protection and lifestyle habits that support skin health.
Rather than waiting until skin quality has significantly deteriorated, treatment can be used strategically to support hydration and maintain healthier-looking skin over time.
Benefits of Skin Boosters
