At Cannelle Skin Clinic in Summertown, Oxford, we often meet patients who want fresher, healthier skin without changing the shape of their face. Skin boosters Oxford patients ask about are a family of injectable treatments that hydrate and condition the skin from within. They do not add volume like dermal fillers. Instead, they improve quality, glow and resilience. This guide explains what the category means, the main options we offer, and how to match each one to your goal.
The term covers several injectable treatments that share one aim. Rather than reshaping features, they refresh the skin itself. Practitioners place tiny amounts of product into the skin across the treatment area. Over the following weeks, the skin responds by holding more moisture and, in some cases, producing more of its own collagen.
Many patients notice smoother texture, softer fine lines and a healthier tone. Results vary from person to person, and a course is usually needed for the best effect. Our skin boosters hub brings these options together so you can compare them in one place.
It helps to separate three ideas. Dermal fillers add structure and volume. Anti-wrinkle injections relax specific muscles. Skin boosters, by contrast, condition the skin surface and the layers beneath it. Some patients combine a booster with other treatments, while others use a booster on its own for a natural, well-rested look.
We offer four well-known approaches. Each suits a slightly different concern. A consultation helps us recommend the right one for your skin, so treat the notes below as a starting point rather than a fixed rule.
Profhilo uses a stabilised form of hyaluronic acid. It spreads through the skin to deliver deep hydration and to support firmness. Many patients choose it for a general loss of glow or for early laxity around the cheeks and jaw. Typically, two initial sessions sit about four weeks apart. You can read more on our Profhilo in Oxford page.
Polynucleotides are derived from purified DNA fragments. They aim to repair and condition the skin over time. People often pick this option for thin, crepey or tired-looking areas, including the delicate skin under the eyes. Our polynucleotides treatment page covers the detail.
PRP uses a small sample of your own blood. We separate the plasma and reintroduce it into the skin. Because the material comes from you, many patients like its natural approach. It suits dull skin, fine lines and overall rejuvenation. See our PRP face treatment page for more.
Mesotherapy delivers a tailored blend of vitamins, antioxidants and hydrating ingredients into the skin. It works well as a boost for tired, dehydrated or city-stressed skin, and it pairs nicely with a wider skincare plan. Our mesotherapy page explains the process.
Choosing well starts with naming your main concern. Here is a simple way to think it through.
Of course, skin rarely has just one need. We assess your concerns together and sometimes recommend a combined plan. Above all, the right choice depends on your skin, your medical history and your goals.
Most booster appointments take around thirty to sixty minutes. We cleanse the area and often apply a numbing cream first. The injections themselves are small and quick. Afterwards, you may see minor redness or tiny bumps, which usually settle within a day or two. There is little to no downtime, so many patients return to normal activities soon after.
Results build gradually. Many people notice an improvement over several weeks as the skin responds. A course of sessions, followed by maintenance, tends to give the most consistent outcome. Results may vary, and your practitioner will set realistic expectations during your visit.
These treatments are not suitable for everyone. We do not treat patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding, and certain skin or medical conditions may rule out a booster. A consultation always comes first, so we can confirm suitability, review your history and answer your questions before anything begins.

Common questions our Oxford team hears.
Prices depend on which booster you choose and how many sessions you need. We list current options on our prices page, and we confirm your personal plan and cost at consultation.
Results vary by treatment and by person. Many patients enjoy several months of improvement, then return for maintenance. Your practitioner will give a realistic timeline for your chosen booster.
There is little to no downtime. You may notice minor redness or small bumps for a day or two. Most patients return to normal activities soon after their appointment.
It depends on the treatment. Profhilo often starts with two sessions about four weeks apart, while other boosters may need a short course. We confirm the plan at your consultation.
The best choice depends on your main concern, your skin type and your goals. We assess these together and recommend Profhilo, polynucleotides, PRP or mesotherapy to suit you.
No. We do not treat patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding. Certain medical conditions may also rule out treatment, so a consultation always confirms suitability first.
Dermal fillers add volume and reshape features. Skin boosters condition and hydrate the skin instead. They improve quality, glow and texture rather than changing your facial structure.
Most patients find them comfortable. We often apply numbing cream first, and the injections are small and quick. Any mild stinging usually passes within moments.
Results build gradually over several weeks as the skin responds. A full course gives the most consistent outcome. Results may vary from one person to the next.
