Skin Boosters & Collagen-Stimulating Treatments
Improve skin quality, texture and firmness from within - not just on the surface.
If your skin feels less firm, less radiant, dull, dehydrated, or not quite as healthy as it once did, skin boosters could be the solution. Skin boosters work beneath the surface of the skin to stimulate collagen production, boost hydration and improve overall skin quality - think of them as skincare from within.
GMC Registered | CQC Regulated Clinic
Dr Karim, a practising private GP with over 8 years of medical experience, offers advanced skin booster treatments including Sculptra and Profhilo at his Harley Street clinic.
If you’re noticing changes in your skin and are considering skin rejuvenation treatments, the first step is coming in for a personalised consultation.
✔ Improve skin texture & elasticity
✔ Restore loss of facial volume
✔ Smooth crepiness and fine lines
✔ Boost hydration from within
Skin boosters work deeper.
Skincare only works on the surface.
As we age, collagen production slows and skin gradually loses firmness, elasticity and hydration. Topical skincare can support the outer layers of the skin, but it can’t go any deeper. That’s where skin boosters come in. Skin-rejuvenating injectable treatments work below the surface to improve overall skin quality, simulate natural collagen production, boost firmness and elasticity, and restore a healthy, subtle glow. The result is gradual, natural-looking skin improvement.
The goal is not dramatic change. It’s long-term skin health.
Skin Booster Options
Dr Karim offers advanced injectable skin-rejuvenating treatments, including Sculptra and Profhilo, designed to improve skin quality and stimulate collagen production.
