Expert Skin Booster Treatments for North London Patients

If your skin looks dull, is dry, or loses elasticity, consider boosters. They suit when moisturisers no longer hydrates enough or when you see fine crepey lines on the cheeks, neck, or around the eyes. Many North London patients choose this before events to get a noticeable glow. It fits as a preventative measure to improve skin health and resilience rather than waiting for deeper lines. The goal is to restore skin quality, not just fill wrinkles.

First you have a 30 minute consultation to review your skin and goals to confirm you are a suitable candidate. The treatment is quick, typically 20 to 30 minutes. We clean the area and inject small amounts of the hyaluronic acid gel at specific points on the face. For best results you usually need two treatments four weeks apart. A follow-up review is scheduled around four to six weeks after the second session. The full effect develops over about eight weeks as your body builds new collagen and elastin.

Right after the procedure you may notice small raised bumps at the injection sites. These typically disappear within four to six hours but can take up to a day. Minor bruising or tenderness can occur and usually resolves in a few days. For the first day avoid touching the area, wearing makeup, and strenuous exercise. Also avoid saunas, steam rooms, and sun exposure for the first two days. In the long term, use a high SPF sunscreen daily to protect your results. If you notice unusual swelling, pain, or signs of infection, call our practice during office hours.

Skin boosters work well for hydration and skin quality, but other options exist depending on your goals. Dermal fillers help with volume loss in areas like the cheeks or lips. They lift and contour. For surface texture, scarring, or pigmentation, treatments like chemical peels or microneedling may be better since they resurface skin. In your Finchley consultation we will discuss these options to help you choose what fits your needs.

The cost for a course of skin booster treatment (two sessions) is typically £500 to £700. This includes the initial consultation, the product itself (we use leading brands like Profhilo), and both treatment appointments. As this is a cosmetic procedure, it is not covered by private medical insurance. We provide a full, personalised quote with no hidden fees during your consultation. For example, a recent patient from Highgate wanted to improve skin texture on her lower cheeks and neck. After two sessions, she noted significant improvement in skin tightness and hydration, with the total cost being £650.

To choose what's right for you, ask any provider in North London these questions. First, ask what brand of skin booster they use and why. Inquire about their specific qualifications and experience in administering injectable treatments. You should also ask what results you can realistically expect and to see before-and-after photos of their previous patients. It's also wise to ask about the potential risks and side effects and what follow-up care is included in the price. Finally, confirm the total cost for the complete course.
