Skin boosters
Micro-injections of hyaluronic acid or polynucleotides for hydration, fine crêping and under-eye skin. Course of three.
88% of course completers rated under-eye skin improved at the review
№ 01What it is
A consultation first, always. Then this.
Skin boosters do not change the shape of anything. They put water and building blocks into the skin itself, so it looks better under make-up and better without it. Under the eyes, on the neck, on the hands, or over the whole face.
How it works
- Consultation to choose between hyaluronic acid and polynucleotide boosters
- Numbing cream, then a grid of tiny injections
- Small bumps for a day, then nothing to see
- Three sessions, four weeks apart; results build over the course
This is the treatment we most often suggest instead of filler under the eyes.
Every treatment here follows a consultation and a cooling-off period of at least 48 hours. The consultation fee is credited to any treatment within three months.

Often the answer to
The review policy
Every injectable treatment includes a review at two weeks with photographs compared to your consultation images. Anti-wrinkle injections are topped up at the review if the result is short or uneven, at no charge. Hyaluronic acid filler is adjusted or dissolved at no charge if we agree the result is not right. Courses are reviewed at three months with imaging. If the doctor advises at consultation that a treatment is not right for you, any deposit is refunded in full.
01Why can't I be treated at the consultation?
Because deciding and doing should not happen in the same hour. Every treatment here follows a face-to-face consultation with a prescriber and a cooling-off period of at least 48 hours; England's planned licensing scheme proposes the same minimum. Most people book the treatment for the following week before they leave.
02How do deposits work?
A £50 deposit secures a treatment appointment and comes off the price on the day. It is refunded in full if you cancel with 48 hours' notice, or at any time if the doctor decides at consultation that the treatment is not right for you. Consultations are paid on the day and credited to any treatment within three months.
03Do you treat under-18s?
No. Injectable cosmetic treatment under 18 has been illegal in England since 2021, and we apply the same rule to every cosmetic treatment. We ask for photographic ID if there is any doubt. Skin health checks and acne advice for teenagers are available with a doctor, with a parent present.
04I'm pregnant or breastfeeding. What can I have?
A facial, LED and a routine designed around pregnancy. We do not do injectables, peels, laser, IPL or fat freezing during pregnancy or breastfeeding: not because of proven harm, but because there is no evidence of safety and we will not be the ones to test it. Book a skin health consultation and we will plan the rest for later.
05Will people be able to tell?
Our aim is that people tell you that you look well and cannot say why. We treat by the smallest area and the fewest millilitres that will do the job, and add at the two-week review if you want more. About a third of the people we see are advised to do less than they asked for.
06What if I don't like the result?
Tell us at the review, or before. Anti-wrinkle results are adjusted with a top-up at two weeks and wear off within months. Hyaluronic acid filler can be adjusted or dissolved, and under our review policy we do that without charge if we agree it is not right. Last year we dissolved seven.
07Who is regulated by whom?
Our doctors are registered with the General Medical Council and our nurses with the Nursing and Midwifery Council; both prescribe. The clinic is registered with the Care Quality Commission for the treatments that require it. Our laser therapists are on the Joint Council for Cosmetic Practitioners register and hold NVQ Level 4 in laser and light. Registration numbers on this example site are demonstration numbers.
08Do you sell gift vouchers, and can they be used for injectables?
Vouchers are for any amount and are valid for twelve months on facials, LED, skincare, programmes and skin plans. They cannot be used for injectables: a gift should never be the reason someone has a needle in their face. If the recipient chooses an injectable after a consultation, the voucher value can be used toward the consultation and skincare instead.
