Skin Boosters: What to Know Before You Book
Micro-injections of hydrating hyaluronic acid spread across the skin to improve hydration, elasticity, and glow from within, rather than adding volume in one spot.
Who it’s for
People wanting an overall skin-quality improvement, a healthier, more hydrated look, rather than a specific contour change. When you are ready, see skin boosters in the Maldives at our Hulhumalé clinic.
What to expect at your visit
Small, evenly spaced injections across the treatment area. Mild pinpoint redness settles within a day.
What results look like over time
A visible hydration boost is noticeable after the first session, with the fullest, most lasting improvement seen after a full course of 2-3 sessions.
Downtime & aftercare
Keep skin well hydrated and avoid harsh actives for a couple of days; a course of 2-3 sessions gives the best lasting result.
How to prepare for your visit
Avoid alcohol and blood thinners for 24 hours beforehand, and come with clean skin so the treatment area is easy to map and treat.
Often paired with
Popular alongside lip filler for patients who want both added volume and a more hydrated, glowy overall look.
Who might want to wait
If you are looking for a shape or volume change rather than a hydration and quality improvement, dermal filler is the more appropriate treatment, and that distinction is made clearly at consultation.
“Is this the same as filler?”
No, it is spread evenly through the skin to improve hydration and quality rather than added in one spot to change shape or volume.
Guide FAQ
Will this add visible volume anywhere?
No, the goal is skin quality and hydration, not a shape or volume change, that is what dermal filler is for instead.
How often do I need to repeat it?
After the initial course, a maintenance session every 4-6 months is typical to sustain the hydration improvement.
Will this make my skin look shiny or oily?
No, the hydration effect is beneath the skin's surface and shows as a healthier glow, not a topical shine.
Can this be done alongside makeup application the same day?
It is best to wait a few hours after treatment before applying makeup, to let the small injection points settle.
