A dentist-injector's view of the booster that started the category — and where it still wins
Restylane Skinboosters are micro-droplets of soft hyaluronic acid placed evenly across the skin — face, neck, hands or décolletage — to improve hydration, firmness and texture over a short course. At Dental & Wellness London, Islington, they sit within our £200–£500 per-session skin-booster range, administered by Dr Vishal Patel with a written course plan before you commit.
- Micro-droplet technique for even hydration
- Three sessions, four weeks apart
- From £200–£500 per session
- Durable, measured results
- Maintenance every six months

Ideal Indications
| Course Protocol — 3 sessions, 4 weeks apart, £200-£500 per session | A classic course is three sessions, spaced about four weeks apart. Some areas and some skins do well with two; your written plan states the number before anything is booked. Each visit: numbing cream, then the micro-droplet pattern across the area — more injection points than other boosters, each very superficial and very quick. Expect small blebs and possible pinpoint marks for a day or two, occasionally a light bruise, especially on the neck and hands. Make-up off the points for a day; saunas and hard training paused for 48 hours. Most patients are presentable immediately and back to everything by the weekend. Results follow the course rather than the first visit: hydration builds week by week, with the honest assessment point about a month after the final session, judged against baseline photographs rather than memory. |
| Maintenance — Every 6 months, single session | After the initial course, maintenance sessions are typically every six months to sustain the hydration floor. The number of sessions and exact timing are reviewed at the follow-up appointment. |

Questions
people ask
If your question isn't answered here, call reception on 020 8127 4567 or email reception.
Are Restylane Skinboosters the same as Restylane filler?
Same manufacturer and same hyaluronic-acid family, different job. Restylane fillers are firmer gels that shape and volumise; Skinboosters are soft micro-droplets that hydrate and condition without changing contours.
How many sessions of Restylane Skinboosters do I need?
Typically three sessions, a month apart, then maintenance around every six months. Some areas do well with two. The exact number is fixed in your written plan before you book.
Do Restylane Skinboosters work on the neck and hands?
Yes — that's arguably where the micro-droplet technique is strongest: even coverage of crepey neck skin, sun-spotted décolletage, and papery hands.
How long do Restylane Skinboosters results last?
The hydration effect typically holds around six months after a completed course, which sets the maintenance rhythm. Age, sun exposure and smoking shorten it; good skincare extends it.
Is there downtime after Restylane Skinboosters?
A day or two of small blebs and possible pinpoint marks, occasionally a light bruise — slightly more visible on the neck and hands than the face. Most patients carry on as normal immediately.
Restylane Skinboosters or Profhilo — which is right for me?
Different tools. Profhilo spreads from a few points and suits early laxity and dehydration in the lower face; Skinboosters place an even lattice of micro-droplets and suit larger, tougher or more sun-exposed areas. A skin assessment decides, not brand loyalty.
