What Is a Skin Booster?

A skin booster (known in Turkish as "gençlik aşısı") is an injectable formulation of dense, cross-linked hyaluronic acid delivered into the deeper layers of the skin. Compared with classic mesotherapy products, its structure is more concentrated and longer-lasting; this allows it to lock in moisture and support elasticity in the skin for a longer period.

Approved products are available in different concentrations and molecular structures. Dr. Doğan Uysal selects the most suitable product for each patient's skin type and needs and builds an individualised treatment plan.

Which Concerns Does It Address?

▸Dryness, dull and matte appearance
▸Reduced elasticity and early skin laxity
▸Fine lines and superficial wrinkles
▸Sun damage and early signs of ageing
▸Signs of ageing on the neck, décolletage and backs of the hands

Treatment Areas

A skin booster can be applied to the face, neck, décolletage and the backs of the hands. For a more integrated rejuvenation approach, it is generally advised to include the neck and décolletage alongside the face.

Session Programme

The treatment is usually delivered as 3 sessions, spaced 3–4 weeks apart. Each session takes about 30–45 minutes. Improved hydration and radiance are noticeable from the first session; the full effect becomes clear 4–6 weeks after the final session. The effect typically lasts 6–12 months. Results vary from person to person. Any treatment plan is subject to physician assessment.

Who Is Not a Candidate, and What Are the Possible Side Effects?

A skin booster is considered for individuals aged 18 and above whose general health is suitable. The treatment is postponed or not performed in the following situations:

▸Pregnancy and breastfeeding
▸Known allergy to hyaluronic acid or any of the product ingredients
▸Active infection, cold sores or inflamed acne in the treatment area
▸Bleeding disorders or regular use of blood-thinning medication (planned only after physician assessment)
▸Uncontrolled chronic conditions and active autoimmune disease

Common and temporary side effects: redness at the injection points, mild swelling and small bruises; these usually resolve within 1–2 days. Less common: small palpable bumps in the skin for a few days, or prolonged oedema. Rare: infection or allergic reaction.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is it different from mesotherapy?

Skin booster products contain more concentrated, cross-linked hyaluronic acid than mesotherapy cocktails. As a result, they provide longer-lasting hydration and support for elasticity. Both methods are used for different needs; the most suitable option is determined at consultation.

Are there differences between skin booster products?

Yes. Some products contain only a single type of hyaluronic acid, while others combine both low- and high-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid. Depending on the formulation, the number of injection points and the intervals between sessions may change; which product is appropriate is decided during the examination.

How many sessions are needed?

A standard programme is generally 3 sessions. Depending on individual needs, this number can be increased or an annual single-session maintenance may be planned.

Are there any side effects?

Temporary mild redness and swelling at the injection points may occur; these usually resolve within 1–2 days. Serious side effects are extremely rare.

What is a skin booster (skin revitalisation injection)?

A skin booster is a hydration and revitalisation treatment in which low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid is delivered into the skin through many small point injections. Unlike a dermal filler, it does not add volume; it aims to hydrate the skin from within, restore radiance and improve elasticity.

What is the difference between a skin booster and a dermal filler?

A dermal filler shapes facial contours and adds volume, whereas a skin booster improves the tissue quality of the skin itself: hydration, radiance and elasticity. A skin booster does not change facial shape; it nourishes the skin from within.

How many sessions does a skin booster require?

Typically 3 sessions are applied at 3–4 week intervals. Once the initial series is complete, a maintenance session every 6 months helps preserve the effect. Dr. Doğan Uysal builds an individual session plan for each patient.

When are the results of a skin booster visible?

A subtle refreshed feeling in the skin is noticeable after the first session. Once 2–3 sessions are completed, improved hydration, radiance and softer fine lines become clearly visible. Full effect appears within 4–6 weeks.

Who is a skin booster suitable for?

It is suitable for any adult experiencing dryness, dullness, fine lines or loss of elasticity. It is not applied to pregnant or breastfeeding women. Individuals aged 18 and above may be candidates; it is most commonly preferred in the 25–55 age range.

Where can I have a skin booster treatment in Mersin?

In Mersin, Dr. Doğan Uysal Clinic in Mezitli provides skin booster treatments using approved products. Please contact us to schedule an appointment.

From what age can a skin booster be performed?

A skin booster may be considered from the 20s onward for preventive skin care. It is more commonly chosen after age 30, when loss of hydration and early fine lines become more visible.

Is a skin booster suitable for men as well?

Yes. A skin booster is a gender-neutral treatment that addresses the skin's need for hydration and elasticity. It is becoming increasingly popular among male patients.
