Peptide Skin Booster
Hydration that builds, softness that stays.
Does your skin feel dry, or look dull and tired? A course of fine injections of hyaluronic acid and peptides can leave it softer and more supple. The change is gradual and natural, so people notice your skin, not that you’ve had something done.

How it works: it hydrates without filling
Cross-linked, high-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid draws water into the skin and holds it there. Peptides, which are short chains of amino acids, act as signals in the processes that maintain your skin’s structure and appearance. The blend also carries vitamins, minerals and amino acids.
Nothing in the formula adds significant volume or changes the shape of your face, so you will not see the instant contour a dermal filler gives. This is skin quality, built up gradually.
Where it can be used
Face, Forehead, Around the eyes, Cheeks, Around the mouth, Neck
What to expect
- Within several days
Some people notice the hydration.
- Over several weeks
Texture, elasticity and fine lines take longer. The result builds across three sessions, about four weeks apart.
- Day 1 to 3
Any redness, tenderness, swelling or bruising settles.
- After your course
The result stays visible for around six months.
Results vary, and your doctor will tell you what to expect for your own skin.
Your visit, step by step
Before
- Tell your doctor what you take, including blood thinners, and about previous skin treatments
- Mention your medical history, allergies, supplements and any earlier injectables
- Pause retinoids and other strong actives for about five days, or as your doctor advises
- Leave a few days before an important event, as bumps or bruising may still show
- Skip alcohol the day before, as it can increase bruising
- Keep taking prescribed medicine unless the doctor who prescribed it says to stop
- Arrive with clean skin and no makeup
The day
Your skin is cleansed and numbing cream goes on first. Your doctor then gives the small injections point by point. Tiny raised bumps may show as you leave, and begin to settle within several hours.

Skin boosters, side by side
Four different ways to better skin. Your doctor will help you choose.
Questions people ask
They do different jobs. Botox® relaxes chosen muscles so expression lines soften.
A Peptide Skin Booster hydrates the skin itself, working on dryness, texture and elasticity. Your doctor can tell you whether you need one, the other, or both.
It depends on what you want. The Peptide Skin Booster is a three-session course for dry, dull or less elastic skin.
Salmon DNA, Revok50 and SKINVIVE™ each work in their own way, and SKINVIVE™ is usually a single session. Your doctor will help you choose at your consultation.
The result stays visible for around six months after the course. For maintenance, a follow-up about every six months usually works well, and your doctor can advise you on timing.
Yes. The Peptide Skin Booster we use is CE-certified.
