Skin Booster & Biostimulants
At 23MD we select skin boosters by mechanism, not marketing. Each is doctor-administered and chosen to suit your skin, goals and clinical plan.
The Treatment
Skin Boosters
Skin Boosters are micro-injections of stabilised hyaluronic acid and skin-conditioning ingredients placed superficially across the treatment area. Unlike dermal fillers, they are not designed to add volume or change shape — they refine the quality, hydration and surface texture of the skin itself.
Healthy, well-hydrated skin reads as 'well' before any structural treatment is considered. Skin Boosters treat the canvas — improving glow, smoothness and resilience in areas like the cheeks, neck, décolletage and hands where dehydration and surface crepiness are often the first signs of ageing.

About
What it is, how it works.
How it works
A grid of very fine injections delivers hyaluronic acid into the upper layers of the skin. The product attracts and binds water, stimulates fibroblast activity, and supports collagen quality over a course of sessions. Results build gradually rather than appearing immediately, with each session reinforcing the last.
Why it matters
Healthy, well-hydrated skin reads as 'well' before any structural treatment is considered. Skin Boosters treat the canvas — improving glow, smoothness and resilience in areas like the cheeks, neck, décolletage and hands where dehydration and surface crepiness are often the first signs of ageing.
