Micro-injections of fine hyaluronic acid and skin nutrients placed through the dermis to improve hydration and quality from within — a different job from filler, and not interchangeable with it.
A skin booster is a fine, unstructured hyaluronic acid, often combined with vitamins, amino acids and antioxidants, injected in small amounts across an area to hydrate the dermis and support its quality.
The difference from filler is not a detail, it is the entire point. Filler is firm and placed at specific points to rebuild structure and change contour. A booster is fluid and distributed evenly to be taken up by the tissue — it does not lift, project or reshape anything, and if it did, it would be the wrong product in the wrong place.
What it does address is skin that has gone dull, thin or crepey while the structure underneath is still fine. Hydration within the dermis changes how skin handles light, and the nutrients alongside it support the cells doing the maintenance. It is a course, and it is a maintenance treatment — we would rather say that plainly than imply one appointment settles it.
The molecule binds many times its own weight in water, and placing it within the dermis hydrates the layer where skin quality is decided.
Small volumes are distributed rather than placed to build structure, which is precisely why this does not change your contour.
The vitamins and antioxidants in the blend support the fibroblasts responsible for maintaining collagen and elastin.
Assessed, planned and supervised in clinic — never sold from a menu.
Placed inside the dermis rather than sitting on the surface like a topical.
We establish whether your concern is quality, volume or laxity before offering this.
A fluid product, evenly distributed — it does not lift or reshape, and it is not meant to.
Useful on the face, and equally on the neck and hands where skin thins early.
An injectable procedure, planned after your history and suitability are reviewed.
Planned honestly as ongoing upkeep rather than sold as a one-off fix.
Skin renewal — results shown are from Dermatonik's skin-renewal protocols and may reflect a combination of treatments.
Photographs shared with patient consent. Individual results vary; your clinician will set honest expectations at consultation.
Dr. Saeema Shiraaz examines the skin and establishes what is actually driving the look you are unhappy with — dehydration and quality, loss of volume, or laxity. Only the first of those is a booster question.
What is appropriate, in what order, and what it will cost is set out before anything begins. You will be told plainly if something is not going to help you.
Numbing cream is applied, then small amounts are injected across the area in a grid. You will see small raised points afterwards, which settle over a day or so.
Aftercare is explained before you leave, and we review how your skin has responded before deciding the next step.

Dr. Saeema Shiraaz — cosmetologist, and the reason patients stay. Every treatment plan at Dermatonik is built around her judgement, not a sales target.
Every protocol is planned and supervised by Dr. Saeema Shiraaz — no junior staff experimenting on your skin.
We recommend what works for your skin, not whatever's trending — and we'll say so if a treatment isn't right for you.
Honest timelines, real costs, and no pressure to buy packages you don't need.
A booster is not a small filler. It is a different product doing a different job, and using one to attempt the other is how faces end up looking wrong.

How we work
What patients usually ask before their first visit.
Filler is firm and placed at specific points to rebuild structure and change contour. A booster is fluid and distributed evenly to hydrate the skin. They address different problems and are not substitutes for one another.
Hydration usually shows within a couple of weeks, and the quality change builds across the course as the skin responds. It is judged at the end of the initial course.
Commonly several months, varying with the product used, the area treated and your own skin. Maintenance is part of how this treatment works rather than an upsell.
Numbing cream is applied first and the needles are very fine. Most patients describe pinpricks rather than pain.
Small raised bumps and the occasional pinpoint bruise are normal and usually settle over a day or two. If your timing is tight around an event, tell us at booking and we will plan around it.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding, active infection or inflamed skin in the area, known hyaluronic acid sensitivity, and certain autoimmune conditions. Your history is reviewed before anything is planned.
Tell us a little about what you'd like to address. Dr. Saeema Shiraaz will review your message and the team will confirm a time that works for you.
