Skinboosters is a type of injectable treatment that can help with deep skin hydration, reduce wrinkles and fine lines, and help your skin glow.
Also known as 水光针 in Mandarin, Skinboosters is directly translated to mean “water bright injection” – a succinct and apt description of this skin boosting treatment.
Skinboosters contain hyaluronic acid andcan only be performed by a doctor.
Hyaluronic acid is what keeps your skin smooth, hydrated, and elastic but as you age, the body’s supply of this youthful chemical depletes and this is in part what causes the skin to become dry, rough and loose. By replenishing the skin’s supply of hyaluronic acid with rejuvenating microinjections of Skinboosters, you can reduce the signs of ageing on your appearance.
At SL Aesthetic Clinic, the Skinboosters treatment process involves injecting the fillers with a series of microinjections either with a manual injection technique or using an injector gun.
Your doctor will determine if manual injections or an injector gun is better for you.
The recommended course of treatment for Skinboosters is an initial start-up treatment, three sessions each spaced 2-4 weeks apart. For noticeably visible results, one treatment is recommended every six months to maintain the levels of hyaluronic acid.
Because skinboosters are a non-surgical method for reducing wrinkles, restoring skin hydration, and minimising pore size, side effects are usually minimal. After each treatment session, some patients may experience minor bruising, swelling and numbness which can subside after a few days.
Results, downtime, and recovery vary by the individual. Speak to our doctors to know more.

The price of our Skinboosters starts at $600 – $800 per session.
Skinboosters are soft hyaluronic fillers which are introduced into the skin via microinjections. This can be done with a small needle by hand or done with an injector gun. The injector gun sucks the skin up to create a suction pocket. Thereafter, 5 micro-needles deliver the Skinboosters into the skin.
Skinboosters alleviates the skin ageing process by introducing hyaluronic acid into the skin. Once injected, the water-loving hyaluronic acid molecules start to absorb water, bringing about intensive hydration to the skin from the inside out. With improved hydration, skin looks plumper, brighter, and more youthful.
At the same time, Skinboosters stimulate collagen, giving longer anti-ageing effects.
