The skin booster category has transformed aesthetic medicine over the past decade, shifting the conversation from volumising and filling to something altogether more sophisticated: genuine tissue quality improvement. At Create Your Wellness in Watford, we offer four of the leading skin booster treatments on the market. This guide explains each one — what it does, who it’s for, and how it differs from the others.
A skin booster is an injectable treatment designed not to add volume or change facial structure, but to fundamentally improve the quality, hydration, and resilience of the skin itself. Rather than sitting in one location like a traditional filler, skin boosters are designed to integrate into the tissue — improving it from within. The results are subtle but unmistakable: skin that simply looks and feels better.
Profhilo is arguably the most well-known skin booster on the market, and for good reason. Containing 64mg of pure hyaluronic acid — one of the highest concentrations available in any injectable product — Profhilo is classified as a bio-remodelling treatment rather than a filler. When injected at five specific points on each side of the face (the BAP technique), it spreads through the tissue, stimulating the production of four different types of collagen and elastin simultaneously.
The result is skin that is measurably more hydrated, firmer, and luminous. Profhilo is particularly effective for those experiencing overall skin laxity, loss of glow, or the general loss of quality that comes with age. Two treatments, spaced one month apart, are the standard protocol, with a single top-up treatment every 6 to 12 months thereafter.
While Profhilo works primarily through hyaluronic acid, Sunekos takes a different approach — combining hyaluronic acid with a patented formula of six amino acids to regenerate the extracellular matrix (ECM): the structural scaffolding within the skin that gives it elasticity, resilience, and firmness. As we age, the ECM degrades and loses its integrity; Sunekos addresses this at the source.
Sunekos is particularly effective for skin that has become thin, crepe-like, or structurally compromised — and is excellent for the neck, décolletage, and hands as well as the face. A course of 4 weekly treatments is the standard protocol.
Jalupro is a bio-revitaliser that works by delivering the key amino acids — glycine, L-proline, L-leucine, and L-lysine — that fibroblasts need to produce collagen. Rather than delivering finished collagen or HA, Jalupro gives the skin’s own cells the raw materials they need to do the job themselves, making it one of the most truly bio-integrative treatments available.
Jalupro is a good choice for those with skin that appears fatigued, fine-lined, or lacking elasticity — and works well in combination with other treatments as part of a comprehensive skin rejuvenation programme.
Beauteye is a specialist skin booster formulated specifically for the periorbital area — the delicate skin around the eyes. The under-eye zone is one of the most challenging areas to treat, being the thinnest skin on the face and prone to showing signs of ageing, fatigue, and dehydration first. Beauteye’s concentrated hyaluronic acid formula is precisely calibrated for this area, delivering hydration, reducing hollowing and dark circles, and smoothing fine lines without the volumising effect of a traditional filler.
Choosing the right skin booster depends on your specific concerns, skin condition, and goals. During your consultation at Create Your Wellness in Watford, your practitioner will assess your skin thoroughly and recommend the most appropriate treatment — or combination of treatments — for your individual needs. In many cases, skin boosters work beautifully alongside other treatments such as microneedling, CACI, or radiofrequency for a comprehensive approach to skin rejuvenation.
