Dr Rami Haidar explains the different types of skin boosters available in Dubai, how they work and why choosing the right treatment depends on the patient’s individual skin concerns.

One of the biggest shifts I’ve noticed in aesthetic medicine over the last few years is the growing focus on skin quality rather than just volume or contour.
Increasingly, patients are less interested in looking “done” and more interested in looking fresher, healthier and better rested overall. This is where skin booster treatments have become particularly popular.
The challenge is that “skin booster” is now used to describe a huge range of different injectable treatments, many of which work in completely different ways.
This article explains what skin boosters actually are, how different types of treatment work and what patients should consider before booking a skin booster treatment.
Skin boosters are injectable treatments designed to improve skin quality, hydration and overall skin health from within.
Unlike traditional dermal fillers, skin boosters are not primarily designed to create structure or add volume to the face. Instead, the focus is on improving the condition of the skin itself.
Depending on the treatment chosen, skin boosters may help improve:
Different products work through different mechanisms, which is why choosing the right treatment for the individual patient is important.
Treatments like Profhilo and Juvederm Volite use hyaluronic acid to improve hydration within the skin.
Profhilo in particular has become popular because it spreads smoothly through the tissue while also stimulating collagen and elastin production over time.
These treatments are often most suitable for patients experiencing dehydration, reduced skin elasticity or early signs of skin ageing.
Polynucleotide treatments, sometimes referred to as salmon DNA injections, work differently from hyaluronic acid-based boosters.
Rather than focusing primarily on hydration, they are designed to support skin repair and regeneration by improving the overall quality and resilience of the skin.
They are often used in delicate or stressed areas, including:
This is a newer and rapidly evolving category of injectable skin treatments designed to improve several aspects of skin quality at the same time.
Depending on the formulation used, these treatments may target hydration, texture, elasticity and overall skin brightness simultaneously.
The most appropriate option depends on the patient’s skin condition and treatment goals.
Dubai’s climate can be particularly challenging for the skin.
Constant air conditioning, strong UV exposure, low humidity, frequent travel and busy lifestyles often leave patients feeling that their skin looks dehydrated, dull or tired despite following a good skincare routine.
In many cases, this ongoing environmental stress can accelerate dehydration and contribute to earlier signs of skin ageing.
Skin booster treatments are popular in Dubai because they help support hydration, collagen production and overall skin quality beneath the surface of the skin in a way topical skincare alone often cannot achieve.
Results vary depending on the type of skin booster used and the patient’s skin quality at the start of treatment.
Many patients notice improvements in hydration and skin texture within the first few weeks, while collagen-stimulating treatments continue to improve gradually over several months.
Patients often describe their skin afterwards as looking:
Most patients benefit from a course of treatments rather than a single session, with maintenance appointments helping sustain results over time.
The quality of skin booster treatment depends heavily on the consultation and assessment beforehand.
A good consultation should focus on understanding the patient’s skin concerns, skin quality, lifestyle and treatment goals before recommending a specific product.
In clinic, different skin boosters are selected based on what the skin actually needs rather than applying the same treatment to every patient.
Patients should also feel comfortable asking:
Dr Rami’s approach to skin booster treatment focuses on improving long-term skin quality in a natural and medically appropriate way.
Treatment recommendations are based on the patient’s skin condition, concerns and overall treatment goals rather than simply selecting a trending product.
In many patients, combining different regenerative treatments strategically can produce more balanced and natural-looking results over time.
A consultation at Excellence Medical Boutique in Jumeirah, Dubai is the best starting point for patients considering skin booster treatment.
Profhilo is a highly concentrated hyaluronic acid product that improves hydration and stimulates collagen and elastin. Polynucleotides use purified DNA fragments to support cellular repair and tissue regeneration. They address different aspects of skin health and can be used together as part of a planned treatment programme.
Most patients benefit from two to three sessions spaced several weeks apart. The number depends on the treatment type chosen, the individual’s skin condition, and the degree of improvement required.
Downtime is typically minimal. Small injection marks, mild swelling and temporary redness may appear after treatment but usually resolve within a few days.
Results vary by treatment type. Hyaluronic acid-based boosters typically last six to nine months. Polynucleotide treatments may produce longer-lasting improvements in skin quality, as the regenerative effect continues to develop over time.
No. Skin boosters are injected superficially to improve skin quality and hydration. Dermal fillers are used to add structural volume or contour to a specific area. They serve different purposes, use different products and are injected at different depths.
Patients experiencing skin dehydration, dullness, loss of elasticity, or the effects of sun damage and environmental stress are often well-suited to skin booster treatment. The most appropriate treatment type depends on a thorough assessment of the skin.
