Why I love skin boosters, and how they've helped me age well

I’ve worked in aesthetics for over a decade now, and one of the questions I’m often asked is: “What do you have done yourself?"

The honest answer? I take a really gentle, regenerative approach – treatments that support my skin over time rather than change how I look. And skin boosters are one of my absolute favourites.

Ageing doesn’t have to mean looking tired

Now that I’m in my 50s, I understand first-hand what happens to our skin as we age. It gets thinner, drier, less elastic. You can eat well, stay hydrated, exercise – and I do all of that! But, sometimes your skin just needs a little extra support.

For me, skin boosters have been that support. They’ve helped my skin stay hydrated, plump, and fresh-looking without changing my face. And that’s so important to me – I still want to look like me, just well-rested and well cared for.

What are skin boosters?

Think of skin boosters as injectable skincare. They don’t change your shape like filler or freeze movement like anti-wrinkle injections. Instead, they infuse the skin with hyaluronic acid (something we naturally produce but lose with age), which holds onto water and improves hydration, firmness, and glow.

They’re perfect for when your skin’s looking a bit flat, dull, or just tired. Most of my clients say their skin feels softer, looks brighter, and that makeup goes on better – even after just one session.

My favourite skin boosters

Over the years, I’ve tried pretty much everything that’s out there. But there are a few standout skin boosters and collagen stimulators that I genuinely love – not just for clients, but for myself too:

Profhilo®

Profhilo® is my go-to for dull, crepey skin. It spreads beautifully and gives the most radiant, hydrated glow. Two sessions and your skin feels brand new.

Polynucleotides

I’m so excited about Polynucleotides. They support tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and leave the skin looking smoother and healthier – great around the eyes and on the neck.

Profhilo Structura®

Ideal for thinning or sagging skin, Profhilo Structura® strengthens the skin’s structure and gives subtle, natural lift while deeply hydrating.‍

Sculptra®

The long game! Sculptra® works gradually to restore lost collagen and improve facial structure. It’s a brilliant option if you’re noticing more hollowing or facial volume loss.

My other secret skincare weapon

Another reason my skin has stayed strong and even-toned over the years is because I’ve used ZO® Skin Health by Dr Zein Obagi for over 5 years.

This range is not like over-the-counter products. It’s medical grade, meaning it works on a deeper level to stimulate skin cell renewal, repair the skin barrier, and correct pigmentation and texture issues. I use it daily, and I recommend it to almost every client who wants serious, visible results.

And because I want as many of you as possible to experience the benefits, I’m offering an exclusive 10% off all ZO® products throughout June. If you’ve been curious about starting ZO® – or restocking your favourites, now’s the perfect time. Drop me a message or pop into clinic to find the right products for your skin

Why good skin treatments matter to me

I’ve never been interested in trends or treatments that make people look overdone. My entire ethos is about subtle, natural enhancement – looking fresher, not different.

As someone who’s menopausal and fully understands how hormones affect the skin, I want to feel confident in how I look, but I also want to honour where I am in life. These treatments, along with powerful skincare, have helped me feel more like myself – glowing skin, no filters needed.

I truly believe ageing is a privilege. But we can age well, with the right tools and a little help along the way. Ageing is natural. Looking exhausted doesn’t have to be. Let’s help your skin glow – naturally.
