Skin Boosters in South Africa

At Dr. Nerina Wilkinson + Associates, we take a personalised approach to skin rejuvenation, guided by advanced diagnostic analysis. 

Each journey begins with a comprehensive Aesthetic Couture consultation to understand your unique skin profile, followed by the careful selection of one of our three premium skin booster options.

Designed to deeply hydrate, refine texture, and restore natural luminosity, our treatments deliver visible, lasting results that reveal your skin at its healthiest and most radiant.

 A skin booster injection is a specialised injectable treatment that uses specialised injection techniques with ultra-fine needles or cannulas to deliver active ingredients like hyaluronic acid, vitamins, peptides, and amino acids superficially into the skin.

The injections are administered in the superficial layers of the skin rather than deeper tissue, focusing on improving skin quality and hydration rather than adding volume.

Contact us today to see which skin booster treatment is ideal for your skin concerns.

We offer three premium skin booster treatments: Mesoboosters, Micro-droplet HA skin boosters, and HA bio-remodelling injectables. Feel free to contact us directly to request a list of the product brands we use.

Each treatment uses different formulations and techniques to address specific skin concerns and deliver customised results.

Schedule a consultation to determine which skin booster treatment best suits your unique skin needs.

An HA (hyaluronic acid) bio-remodelling injectable (such as Profhilo) is a revolutionary skin booster treatment that uses high-concentration heat-stabilised hyaluronic acid to bio-remodel and naturally plump the skin.

This skin booster spreads beneath the skin across treated areas, stimulating collagen and elastin production for improved skin firmness, hydration and elasticity. The treatment helps restore youthful skin quality and radiance through natural tissue regeneration.

HA bio-remodelling injectables are ideal for patients seeking overall skin improvement.

Mesoestetic Mesoboosters are bespoke skin booster treatments featuring customised combinations of hyaluronic acid, vitamins, peptides, exosome-like elements and amino acids.

Each formulation is tailored to your specific skin concerns, allowing for precise ingredient selection to achieve your desired results.

A micro-droplet HA (hyaluronic acid) skin booster (such as SKINVIVE) is an advanced treatment that uses cross-linked hyaluronic acid to improve skin glow, hydration and texture.

This stabilised formula delivers sustained results, lasting up to 9 months, and enhances overall skin quality and luminosity for a naturally refreshed appearance.

Skin boosters are best for individuals with dehydrated, dull, or uneven skin who want to restore hydration, smooth fine lines, and improve overall elasticity, firmness and radiance. 

They are also suitable for anyone wanting to proactively maintain healthy, glowing skin.

Suitable candidates should be in good health with realistic expectations about their results.

Skin boosters can enhance multiple areas, including the face, neck, décolletage and hands for comprehensive skin rejuvenation. 

Selected skin booster treatments may also benefit specific body areas such as the skin above the knees, stomach, and arms.

Our specialists will recommend the most suitable treatment areas during your personalised consultation to achieve your desired results.

Skin booster treatments deliver targeted formulations into the superficial layers of the skin using ultra-fine needles or cannulas. 

The active ingredients, including hyaluronic acid, vitamins, and peptides, provide deep hydration while stimulating collagen and elastin production for natural regeneration. 

By attracting and retaining moisture, they enhance skin texture, firmness, and radiance from within, creating long-lasting improvements in overall skin quality. 

The microinjection technique ensures nutrients are placed precisely where they are needed, achieving subtle and natural-looking results.

Skin booster treatments offer a wide range of benefits that address multiple concerns:

• Enhanced hydration – Deep moisture delivery for plumper, suppler skin
• Improved texture and firmness – Smoother, more refined skin surface
• Reduced fine lines – Softening of early signs of skin ageing
• Increased radiance – Natural glow and luminosity
• Collagen stimulation – Long-term improvement in elasticity and skin health
• Minimal downtime – Quick recovery with natural-looking results

These treatments provide both immediate improvements and progressive benefits as your skin’s natural regeneration processes are enhanced over time.

Contact us to see how skin booster treatments can address your specific skin concerns.

Initial results from skin booster treatments are visible within 1-2 weeks as your skin begins to show improved hydration and radiance. However, some immediate improvements in skin texture and glow may be noticeable shortly after treatment.

The full effects develop progressively over the following weeks as the active ingredients integrate with your skin tissue and stimulate collagen production. Optimal results typically show after 2-3 weeks when the treatment has fully settled.

Contact us to learn more about expected timelines for your specific skin booster treatment.

Most patients see noticeable improvements after a single skin booster treatment.

However, optimal results are typically achieved after a series of 2-3 treatment sessions spaced several weeks apart. This approach allows for progressive skin improvement and ensures the active ingredients build up effectively in your skin tissue.

Your individual treatment plan will be customised based on your specific skin concerns, goals, and your skin’s response to the initial treatment.

Contact us to discuss the ideal treatment schedule for your skin booster journey.

Skin booster treatments typically last 3-6 months, depending on the specific product used, your individual skin type, and lifestyle factors such as sun exposure and skincare routine.

Most patients schedule maintenance treatments every 3-6 months to maintain their desired results. Your specialist will recommend the optimal frequency based on how your skin responds and your aesthetic goals.

Regular maintenance sessions help sustain the benefits and can lead to cumulative improvements in skin quality over time.

Contact us to develop a personalised maintenance schedule that keeps your skin looking its best.

Skin booster treatments typically take 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the areas being treated and the specific product used.

Treatment time varies based on the scope of areas covered, with facial treatments generally taking 30-45 minutes, while more comprehensive treatments, including neck and décolletage, may take up to 60 minutes.

Recovery from skin booster treatments is typically quick and minimal, with most patients returning to normal activities within 24 hours.

You may experience slight swelling, redness, or sensitivity at injection sites for 1-2 days following treatment. These mild effects generally subside within 2-3 days, with complete settling of the treatment occurring over approximately 2 weeks.

Contact us for detailed post-treatment care instructions to ensure the best possible results.

Skin booster treatments at Dr. Nerina Wilkinson + Associates typically range from R5,000 to R13,000, depending on several factors, including your specific skin concerns, the product selected, the areas being treated, and the number of sessions required to achieve your desired results.

Skin boosters deliver active ingredients like hyaluronic acid and vitamins directly into the skin through precise injections. Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries to stimulate natural collagen production without injecting substances.

Skin boosters provide immediate hydration and targeted nourishment, while microneedling relies on your body’s healing response for gradual improvement.

Yes, skin booster treatments are safe when performed by qualified medical professionals in a proper clinical environment.

Our skin booster formulations use biocompatible ingredients, including hyaluronic acid, vitamins and peptides that work naturally with your skin. We conduct comprehensive consultations to review your medical history and determine your suitability for treatment.

At Dr Nerina Wilkinson + Associates, all skin booster procedures are carried out by experienced medical aesthetic doctors using strict safety protocols in our advanced clinical facility to ensure your safety and optimal outcomes.

Contact us to schedule your consultation and learn more about our safety procedures for skin booster treatments.

While skin booster treatments are generally safe, potential side effects include:

• Redness and swelling: Common mild effects at injection sites that typically resolve within 24-48 hours.
• Bruising: May occur, especially in sensitive areas such as under the eyes, and usually subsides within a few days.
• Sensitivity: Temporary tenderness at treatment sites lasting 1-2 days.
• Infection (Rare): As with any injection, there is a small risk of infection. Proper aseptic technique and aftercare minimise this risk.

Contraindications

It is advised that you do not receive skin booster treatments if you have any of these medical conditions:

• Allergy/hypersensitivity to treatment ingredients
• Open wound with infection or localised/systemic infection (bacterial or viral)
• Pregnancy and/or nursing

Understanding what to expect before, during, and after your skin booster treatment helps ensure the best results and a smooth recovery. Below, we outline our recommended guidelines for your skin rejuvenation journey.

What to do before the skin booster treatment

Avoid alcohol, fish oil supplements, aspirin or any other anti-inflammatory drugs for 2 weeks before treatment to reduce bruising risk.

• Avoid dental appointments, medical interventions like vaccinations, chemical peels or laser treatments for 2 weeks before your appointment.
• Schedule your treatment at least 48 hours before any major events, as mild swelling and bruising may occur.
• Inform us if you have been to the dentist or are planning to go in the next 2 weeks, as this can increase infection risk.

• Arrive with clean skin (no makeup or skincare products).

Day of the skin booster treatment
