What is Skinbooster?
Skinbooster involves injecting lightly cross-linked hyaluronic acid specifically formulated to restore deep hydration while preserving natural facial harmony without adding volume.
This aesthetic medicine treatment fully supports skin ageing prevention. Lasting improvements in quality, suppleness and radiance help slow fine line and wrinkle development.
How does Skinbooster brighten the complexion?
Skinbooster brightens the complexion without adding volume thanks to its active ingredient, hyaluronic acid.
Deep skin hydration: hyaluronic acid exceptionally retains water, up to 1000 times its molecular weight. Injected deeply, it attracts and retains water. This plumps skin, improves suppleness and reduces dryness and fatigue signs. Natural radiance returns and the complexion becomes more even.
Improvement in skin quality : Skinboosters stimulate collagen and elastin production. Strengthening skin structure smooths fine lines and surface irregularities. Smoother skin reflects light better for a brighter, more radiant complexion.
Skin regeneration effect: Skinboosters revitalise skin and gradually improve quality. New skin cells are healthier and clearer, providing a fresher, brighter complexion.
Reduced skin imperfections : improved hydration and quality soften imperfections such as enlarged pores and mild scars. More uniform, blemish-free skin reflects light better for greater luminosity.
What are the indications for
Skinboosters?
- Treating skin ageing.
- Deeply hydrating skin and stimulating collagen synthesis.
- Softening fine lines.
- Increasing skin density without changing facial volume or features.
- For a true 'radiance boost'.
- Plumping skin and improving elasticity and firmness.
For men and women, Skinboosters offer lasting skin quality improvement across various indications:
- Young skin (under 40): maintaining optimal hydration helps prevent ageing, preserve skin health, improve quality and delay early fine lines.
- Mature skin: revitalises age-weakened skin, improves suppleness and softens a crepey or lax appearance. The complexion brightens and the face remains natural and rested.
- Dehydrated or dull skin: deep hydration restores radiance and improves the texture of tired, devitalised skin lacking luminosity.
- Sun- or smoking-damaged skin: improves quality after external aggressors, particularly photoageing or smoking effects, restoring suppleness, uniformity and vitality.
Which areas can Skinbooster treat?
Where are Skinboosters injected? Different body areas can be treated. Injections can be performed on:
- The face: to restore density and plumpness. The nose and forehead cannot be treated because superficial deposits may form, nor the orbital area, since Skinboosters cause permanent oedema when injected around the eyes.
- Wrinkles.
- The lips: for a gloss effect (hydration without volume) and barcode lines.
- The neck and décolletage: particularly neck and décolletage wrinkles and neck laxity and décolletage laxity.
- The hands: to improve wrinkles and hydration.
- Certain body areas such as knees, arms and thighs.
This treatment is particularly suited to hydrating skin and strengthening structure without surgery. Less invasive than lifting, peeling and laser, it has shown excellent results.
What happens during a session of
Skinbooster?
An initial consultation is scheduled at Dr Valéria Romano's Geneva practice. Listening to you, the doctor defines goals and reviews expectations.
This appointment establishes the appropriate injection protocol.
Treatment is performed on clean, disinfected skin. Dr Romano then injects:
- Either using a needle for multiple injections.
- Or using a microcannula with 1 or 2 entry points per half-face. Unless patients request otherwise, Dr Romano exclusively uses cannulas to reduce bruising and stimulate collagen synthesis.
Two types contain lower or higher hyaluronic acid concentrations. Dr Romano exclusively uses the higher concentration.
What precautions should be taken before a Skinbooster session?
Certain precautions before Skinbooster treatment limit temporary effects, particularly bruising or inflammation.
Avoid aspirin, non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (after advice from the prescribing doctor) and blood-thinning supplements such as omega-3 or vitamin E in the preceding days.
Also avoid intense sun and irritating skin treatments such as peels or laser shortly beforehand.
Inform the doctor of current treatments, medical history, allergies or active skin infection to exclude contraindications and personalise care.
What is the Skinbooster injection protocol?
The protocol depends on skin type.
The initial phase involves 2 to 3 sessions at 3 to 4-week intervals.
Maintenance follows every 6 to 12 months according to skin quality, age and aesthetic goals.
- Young skin: two syringes for the face at the first session. Four are needed for neck and décolletage. Maintenance uses one to two syringes every six months.
- Mature skin: two syringes for the face initially, repeated two months later. Maintenance uses one to two syringes every six months.
What are the contraindications
to Skinboosters?
Skinbooster is very lightly cross-linked hyaluronic acid, with the same contraindications as hyaluronic acid injections.
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding, as a precaution.
- Known allergy to lidocaine, the anaesthetic added by the manufacturer.
- Skin infection or inflammation at the injection site.
- Coagulation disorders.
- Anticoagulant medicines: a relative contraindication. Dr Romano does not inject patients taking anticoagulants.
- Hepatitis (granuloma risk with interferon).
- Autoimmune diseases.
- Non-absorbable product or material (implant or plate) at the injection site.
- Active general infection.
What are the side effects
of Skinboosters?
Hyaluronic acid is naturally present in the body, explaining its good tolerability. Injection side effects remain rare, mild and short-lived. They are identical to conventional hyaluronic acid injection effects.
Like any aesthetic treatment, Skinbooster injections may cause adverse effects, but no social downtime is needed.
- Redness and mild swelling
- Bruising: small bruises may occur in 30% of cases.
- Pain or tenderness: mild pain or sensitivity around the injection site subsides quickly during the day.
- Small lumps or irregularities beneath skin: reactions to post-injection inflammation. Not constant, they disappear within one to two weeks. Persistent irregularities indicate technical error (incorrect injection).
What are the results of Skinbooster injections?
This anti-ageing treatment very effectively fills wrinkles and fine lines. Deep hydration visibly reduces ageing signs.
Among available skincare methods, Skinboosters are increasingly popular.
Results are immediate and improve over three weeks. They last six to twelve months.
Skin is plumped without added volume, with visibly improved density.
The face or other treated area looks brighter and younger, with softer fine lines.
A study published in the Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy showed significantly improved hydration and firmness and reduced fine lines in Skinbooster-treated patients.
How long does it take to see Skinbooster results?
Results begin within days and settle three weeks later.
Hydration and radiance improve visibly 3 to 7 days after injections. Skin is brighter and plumper from the first week.
Final results, including density, fine-line reduction and elasticity, appear 2 to 4 weeks afterwards. This allows full integration and collagen activation.
Factors affecting result speed.
- Initial condition: very dehydrated or damaged skin takes longer to show improvement.
- Protocol: several sessions spaced weeks apart may optimise results, particularly for mature or severely damaged skin.
- Aftercare: a good skincare routine can accelerate and prolong benefits.
Skinbooster: the aesthetic solution for a younger face
Skin changes at every life stage. Babies have naturally soft, supple, sensitive skin: 'baby-soft skin' describes attractive, pleasant-to-touch skin. Adolescent acne can damage facial skin and leave lasting marks or hollows. With ageing, regeneration slows, reducing elasticity and suppleness. Fatigue and stress worsen this. Skin becomes dull and wrinkles and fine lines develop.
Medical techniques combat ageing and restore youthfulness. Hyaluronic acid Skinbooster is a leading solution for facial rejuvenation and tightening features. Used since the 1990s, this naturally occurring product has proven anti-ageing effectiveness, providing luminosity.
Skinboosters contain fine, very lightly cross-linked hyaluronic acid particles. Their composition provides lasting action. These unique substances act as regenerators, giving tired skin a true 'youthful boost' with lasting effects.
Injected into the middle dermis, they integrate into tissues and play the same role as endogenous skin water, deeply rehydrating.
How much do Skinbooster injections cost in Geneva?
Skinbooster technique: what about price? For a session of Skinbooster: the price is how much? In Geneva, Skinbooster injections cost 400 CHF per syringe. Numbers depend on area size and protocol. Initial treatment generally involves several sessions spaced weeks apart, followed by less frequent maintenance.
In Geneva, trained doctors use certified products. Price reflects hyaluronic acid quality, technical injection skill and rigorous personalised follow-up.
Which Skinbooster should you choose?
Choice depends on skin type, aesthetic goals and area.
Treatment objective
- Hydration and radiance: if these are the main goals, choose a hyaluronic acid-rich skinbooster.
- Firming and elasticity.
- Fine-line correction and skin quality.
Treatment area
- Facial Skinboosters: all can be used across the face.
- Neck, décolletage and hand Skinboosters: some products are specifically formulated for these delicate areas with often thinner skin.
Skin type and specific concerns
- Dry or dehydrated skin: an excellent option for intense hydration and overall revitalisation.
- Mature skin: often recommended for lifting and firming as well as hydration.
How long results last
- Short-term results: visibly improved complexion and quality within one week.
- Long-term results: effects can last six months or longer.
At what age can
Skinbooster injections be performed?
Skinbooster injections can be considered at different ages.
Specific skin needs matter more than age.
There is no minimum starting age, but the approach must always reflect skin condition and individual aesthetic goals. Consultation with an experienced doctor determines the ideal time.
FROM 25-30: PREVENTION AND MAINTENANCE
The aim is to prevent early ageing signs and maintain optimal hydration.
At this age, natural collagen and hyaluronic acid production slows. Skinboosters preserve youthfulness, improve radiance and prevent early fine lines.
FROM 30-40: CORRECTING EARLY SKIN AGEING SIGNS
The aim is to correct early visible ageing such as reduced elasticity and fine lines.
Skinboosters restore lost hydration, improve quality and provide a mild lifting effect.
FROM 40 AND OVER: COMPREHENSIVE REJUVENATION
The aim is to treat deeper wrinkles, volume loss and reduced elasticity.
At this age, skin often needs more stimulation to regain radiance and firmness. Skinboosters can combine with other treatments for comprehensive, natural facial rejuvenation.
What is the difference between
Skinbooster and mesotherapy?
Mesotherapy injects vitamins, minerals and non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid, which is not protected from physiological breakdown through cross-linking stabilisation.
Results are mild and temporary. The radiance boost is real but requires repeated sessions.
Skinbooster is lightly cross-linked hyaluronic acid, lasting six to twelve months, with firmer, more toned skin without added volume.
The treatments can be combined; this synergistic association is recommended.
One or two times yearly, having Skinbooster and mesotherapy on the same day is advised.
Are Skinboosters more
effective than botulinum toxin?
These treatments meet different needs and often complement each other. Skinboosters hydrate and improve quality; botulinum toxin treats certain dynamic wrinkles caused by movement. Relaxing muscles prevents new wrinkles.
For forehead, crow's feet and frown lines, botulinum toxin is more suitable. For skin quality, hydration and radiance, Skinboosters are the treatment of choice.
Are Skinboosters more
effective than hyaluronic acid?
Skinboosters vs fillers: which is best?
Skinboosters primarily revitalise and hydrate without volume. They soften fine lines and early skin creases.
Fillers, such as conventional hyaluronic acid, add volume, reshape the face, fill deep wrinkles and folds and correct asymmetries. They are injected deeper into skin or subcutaneous tissue.
Skinbooster results generally last several months, often six to twelve, depending on product and area.
Filler results last six months to two years depending on product, area and metabolism.
Combined approach: Skinboosters and fillers can treat both skin quality and volumetric or structural needs for comprehensive, more harmonious rejuvenation.
Is Skinbooster better than
Profhilo?
Skinboosters are ideal for rapid improvements in hydration, quality and elasticity.
Perfect for restoring radiance and suppleness with quickly visible effects.
This method visibly improves wrinkles and fine lines.
Profhilo is stabilised hyaluronic acid designed to hydrate, remodel and firm. It biorevitalises, stimulating collagen and elastin for improved overall quality.
Combined approach: Skinboosters and Profhilo may sometimes be combined to maximise both benefits.
Choice depends on goals and medical recommendations, since benefits differ.
For laxity and sagging, Profhilo is ideal. Its bioremodelling properties lift and improve overall quality.
If hydration and nourishment are the main goals, Skinboosters are best.
Alternatives to Skinboosters
Skinboosters deeply hydrate and improve radiance, but other treatments can produce similar results.
- Mesotherapy revitalises by injecting vitamins, amino acids and antioxidants into the dermis. Hydration is superficial and temporary.
- Chemical peels exfoliate for brighter, more uniform skin. Density improvement is mild compared with Skinboosters.
- Fractional lasers offer a true alternative, increasing density and improving surface irregularities.

Can other aesthetic medicine treatments be performed during a Skinbooster session?
Combining treatments is common to maximise results and meet several aesthetic needs in one session.
For example, Skinboosters are often combined with:
- Botulinum toxin injections: smoothing expression wrinkles for comprehensive rejuvenation.
- Hyaluronic acid fillers: Skinboosters improve hydration and elasticity while fillers restore cheekbone or lip volume for a harmonious lifting effect.
- Chemical peels, particularly the PRX-T33 peel.
- Mesotherapy.

Frequently asked questions about Skinboosters
What should be avoided after Skinbooster?
For two days, avoid fruit acids, retinol (Vitamin A) and vitamin C products.
Also avoid intense exercise for 24 hours and intense heat for 3 days.
Are Skinboosters painful?
Injections are well tolerated. Tingling or mild discomfort may occur. Injections are very quick.
When should Skinbooster be performed?
Start when early skin ageing signs appear. What is the ideal age for skin boosters? Around the thirties.
Seasonally, injections before intense heat protect skin, and after holidays rehydrate it.
How long do Skinbooster effects last?
With a full protocol, results last ten to twelve months.
How many Skinbooster treatments will I need ?
A full protocol requires two sessions two months apart for optimal results.
Maintenance is then recommended once or twice yearly depending on skin type and age.
Is Skinbooster indicated for dehydrated or dry skin?
Skinbooster particularly suits dry, dehydrated or ageing-damaged skin. It restores lasting deep hydration and improves suppleness, elasticity and overall quality.
It also softens dehydration-related fine lines.
Does Skinbooster suit sensitive or redness-prone skin?
It may be considered for sensitive, reactive or redness-prone skin. Product and technique must be personalised to respect fragility and limit inflammation.
Do Skinboosters suit all skin types?
They suit most types, both young and mature. Particularly indicated for dehydration, dullness, altered texture or early ageing.
Indication and protocol must nevertheless be tailored after personalised medical assessment.
Is there social downtime after Skinbooster?
No interruption to everyday or professional activities is needed. After-effects are simple and temporary.
Can Skinbooster accompany other aesthetic treatments?
It integrates into comprehensive skin quality care and combines with several treatments for optimal results.
It can particularly accompany:
- chemical peels to stimulate renewal and improve radiance;
- microdermabrasion to refine texture and smooth irregularities;
- LED photobiomodulation to promote regeneration and enhance recovery.
Combinations must suit individual needs and follow a personalised medical protocol.
Can Skinbooster treat dark circles?
Hyaluronic acid for dark circles requires a specific technique, placing product deeply against bone in the orbital region. Skinbooster is lightly cross-linked and injected superficially into the dermis for hydration and quality. Its technique and indications therefore make it unsuitable for dark circles.
Do Skinboosters make the face swell?
Mild swelling may occur but is temporary, generally disappearing within hours to days.
Does Skinbooster restore complexion radiance?
Yes, radiance is a principal indication. Deep hydration restores natural luminosity and softens dullness or fatigue.
It also improves texture, suppleness and hydration. Skin looks smoother, more uniform and visibly revitalised.
Which injection improves skin appearance?
Skinbooster injections, hyaluronic acid designed for skin, very effectively improve appearance. They deeply hydrate, smooth fine lines and improve quality and luminosity.
Which injection rejuvenates the face?
Botulinum toxin, hyaluronic acid and Skinbooster injections are the most commonly used facial rejuvenation techniques.
How can skin look good after 60?
Hydrate regularly, use antioxidant-rich anti-ageing skincare, apply daily sunscreen and eat a balanced diet. Skinboosters and laser sessions very effectively improve quality.
How can mature skin be plumped?
Skinboosters and Sculptra improve skin quality and elasticity.
How can skin be thickened?
Chemical peels, Skinboosters, ablative laser and Sculptra effectively increase density.
Which skin type ages fastest?
Dry skin tends to age faster through insufficient natural hydration, making wrinkles and fine lines more likely. Fair, thin skin shows ageing signs sooner.
Which essential oil is most firming?
Geranium essential oil is known for firming properties, helping tone skin, improve elasticity and reduce wrinkles.
Which vitamin plumps skin?
Vitamins C, A (retinol) and E.
Which anti-ageing supplement should be used against wrinkles?
Supplements containing collagen, hyaluronic acid, antioxidants (vitamins C and E) and omega-3 fatty acids effectively combat wrinkles and improve quality.
Why have I suddenly aged?
Sudden ageing may reflect stress, hormonal changes, poor diet, excessive sun, smoking or dehydration.
Which women age best?
Those with healthy lifestyles, balanced diets, adequate hydration, sun protection, no smoking and appropriate skincare generally age better. Genetics also plays an important role.
Which face shape ages faster?
Thin, angular faces age faster. Rounder or oval faces retain youthful appearance longer because fat is more abundant.
