The Science Behind Skin Boosters: Why Hydration Isn’t Enough

Introduction

In the world of skincare, hydration is a cornerstone of healthy, glowing skin. But when topical moisturisers and serums are no longer enough, skin boosters step in to deeply revitalise the skin from within. At Kristine Ekman Aesthetics, we use advanced injectable skin boosters to deliver long-lasting hydration and visible radiance, targeting concerns that surface-level products simply can’t reach.

What Are Skin Boosters?

Unlike dermal fillers that add volume or reshape facial contours, skin boosters are micro-injections of hyaluronic acid and nutrients designed to improve overall skin quality. Hyaluronic acid is naturally found in the skin and is known for its ability to retain up to 1,000 times its weight in water. As we age, our skin’s natural levels of hyaluronic acid decline, leading to dryness, fine lines, and dullness.

How Skin Boosters Work

Skin boosters are injected into the middle layers of the skin (the dermis), delivering intense hydration directly to the cells. This triggers natural collagen production, improves skin elasticity, and enhances overall skin texture. Clients often report that their skin feels smoother, firmer, and more radiant within days.

Who Are They For?

Skin boosters are ideal for anyone noticing early signs of ageing, dull or dehydrated skin, or wanting a general boost to their complexion. They’re suitable for all skin types and can be used on the face, neck, hands, and even under the eyes. For younger clients, they can act as a preventative treatment to maintain hydration and skin health.
