By injecting ultra-fine droplets of hydrating and nutrient-rich formulas into the dermis, these treatments stimulate collagen and elastin, smoothing fine lines and restoring a youthful bounce to your skin.

We offer a variety of premium treatments tailored to your specific skin concerns, whether you’re looking for deep hydration, anti-ageing benefits, or a brighter skin tone. We encourage you to book in for a consultation with one of our incredible aesthetic clinicians. Choosing skin boosters in Exeter is an investment in your skin’s long-term health.

Our range of skin boosters in Exeter

  • Restylane skin boosters

    Restylane is a pioneer in the world of injectable hydration. The treatment involves injecting small amounts of the Restylane skin booster gel directly into the skin, typically in the face, neck, or hands. Hyaluronic acid has the unique ability to attract and retain water, which helps to improve the skin’s hydration and texture. As we age, the natural production of hyaluronic acid in the skin decreases, leading to dryness, fine lines, and loss of volume. Restylane skin boosters aim to replenish and boost hyaluronic acid levels, restoring the skin’s moisture balance and promoting a more youthful and radiant complexion.

    The gel is injected through a series of microinjections, creating a network of hyaluronic acid beneath the skin’s surface. This not only provides immediate hydration but also stimulates the skin’s natural collagen production over time. Collagen is a vital protein that contributes to the skin’s structure and firmness. By promoting collagen synthesis, Restylane Skin Boosters contribute to long-lasting improvements in skin quality, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and sun-damaged areas.

  • NCTF (New Cellular Treatment Factor)

    NCTF 135HA works through a process called mesotherapy, where a cocktail of vitamins, amino acids, minerals, and hyaluronic acid (HA) is injected into the skin using a series of tiny injections. This treatment doesn’t just hydrate; it provides the essential building blocks the skin needs to repair itself, making it highly effective for tackling dullness and fine lines caused by environmental stress.

    NCTF acts as a deep-reaching multivitamin for your skin, working from the inside out to restore a youthful, healthy glow. This nutrient-rich treatment doesn’t just offer a quick fix; it actively encourages your skin to produce more collagen, which naturally firms and tightens your complexion over time.

    Beyond just moisturising, this treatment revitalises your skin’s overall health by promoting faster cell turnover and improving elasticity. The result is skin that feels firmer, looks more radiant, and has a noticeably refreshed tone. Whether you’re looking to tackle dullness or simply want to maintain your skin’s vitality, NCTF 135HA helps rejuvenate your appearance for a long-lasting, natural-looking luminosity.

  • Celora™ Vita

    Think of Celora™ Vita as a restorative wake-up call for your skin. It is specifically designed to help skin that is starting to feel tired, dehydrated, or a bit less firm than it used to be. As we age, our skin naturally loses the essential building blocks it needs to stay bouncy and smooth. Celora™ Vita works by delivering a powerful blend of nine essential amino acids and deep-acting hyaluronic acid directly into the skin. This unique formula supports your skin’s natural ability to repair itself, encouraging the production of fresh collagen and elastin for a healthier, more resilient complexion.

    By nourishing your skin from within, Celora™ Vita provides a noticeable boost to your overall appearance, making it the ideal solution for a total complexion refresh. This treatment works to deeply hydrate the skin, locking in moisture to banish that tight or dry feeling while restoring a natural, healthy glow to dull or tired areas. Beyond just a brighter look, it refines and softens your skin’s texture and boosts firmness to give your face its youthful snap back.

    Ultimately, by improving elasticity and softening the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, Celora™ Vita leaves your skin looking smoother, more resilient, and beautifully revitalised.

FAQs

Skin boosters are a specialised type of injectable treatment designed to improve the overall quality and health of your skin rather than changing your facial shape. They work by delivering a high concentration of hyaluronic acid, vitamins, and minerals directly into the deeper layers of the skin, where topical creams cannot reach. Once injected, these ingredients act like a long-term moisturiser, drawing in hydration and stimulating your body’s natural production of collagen and elastin. Instead of adding volume like a traditional filler, skin boosters focus on helping the skin repair itself from within to look smoother, firmer, and more radiant.

These treatments are incredibly versatile and can address a wide range of common skin issues for various ages and skin types. They are most commonly used to treat dullness, persistent dehydration, and a loss of skin snap or elasticity. If you are noticing fine lines, a crepey texture on your neck or hands, or enlarged pores, skin boosters can help refine and smooth the surface. They are also excellent for revitalising tired-looking skin caused by environmental stress, smoking, or lack of sleep, providing a subtle but effective glow that makes the skin look rested and healthy.

While the immediate hydration boost can often be seen within a few days, the long-term improvements in skin quality typically peak around a month after treatment as your collagen levels increase. Generally, the results of a full course of skin boosters last between six and nine months, though this can vary depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and the specific product used. To maintain that fresh, luminous look, most patients choose to have a single maintenance-type session once or twice a year, ensuring the skin remains hydrated and resilient year-round.

Most patients find skin booster treatments to be very manageable and much more comfortable than they initially expect. The injections are performed using ultra-fine needles or a blunt-tipped cannula to minimise discomfort, and many of the booster formulas themselves contain a local anaesthetic to numb the area as they are administered. You might feel a slight pinching sensation or a tiny sting during the process, but the treatment is quick, usually taking only 15 to 30 minutes. Any minor redness or small bumps at the injection sites typically fade within 24 to 48 hours.

For the best possible results, we usually recommend an initial “loading” phase of two to three sessions, spaced about three to four weeks apart. This allows the ingredients to build up in your skin and properly kickstart the collagen-production process. While you will likely see an improvement after just one visit, the cumulative effect of a full course is what creates the significant change in firmness and texture. During your consultation, we will create a bespoke plan tailored to your skin’s current condition and your personal goals.

Choosing the right skin booster depends entirely on your specific skin goals and the current health of your skin. If you are looking for intense radiance and a “glass skin” finish, BabyGLOW™ might be the perfect choice, whereas if your skin feels thin and needs deep structural support, Restylane or Celora™ Vita may be more effective. For those wanting a complete nutrient cocktail to fight early signs of aging, NCTF is a world-class option. At Skin Southwest, we provide a full skin assessment to help determine which formula will best target your concerns, ensuring you get the most natural and effective results possible.
