The Skin-Boosters
The largest growing sector of aesthetic treatments, bio-stimulating injectables impact collagen, elastin, fat and cellular energy to encourage the body’s natural regenerative processes, as highlighted in the 2025 ELLE Tweakment Awards.
This means gradual improvement in skin quality without changing your facial structure. Hyaluronic-acid-based boosters deliver intense hydration and stimulate collagen,polynucleotides aid cellular repair and tissue regeneration, while bio-stimulators such as poly-L-lactic acid improve skin scaffolding over time. ‘Be strategic, not reactive [with your approach],’ says aesthetic doctor and co-founder of Ardour Clinic, Dr Paris Acharya. ‘They work best when integrated into a longer-term skin-health plan.’ Skin-boosters can be layered with other treatments, such as laser or filler.
