Skin Boosters Treatment in Baner, Pune - Deep Hydration and Healthy Glow at Skinsure Clinic
You wash your face, moisturise every day and drink enough water. But the skin still looks dull, feels tight and lacks the natural glow it had a few years ago. This is not a skincare problem you can fix with a better moisturiser. It is a skin hydration problem that starts at a deeper level than any cream can reach.
Skin boosters work from the inside. They are injectable hyaluronic acid treatments that deliver deep hydration directly into the dermis – the layer of skin where hydration actually determines how your skin looks and behaves on the surface. The result is skin that genuinely feels different: smoother, softer, more elastic and visibly more radiant.
At Skinsure Clinic in Baner, Pune, Dr. Rashmi Soni Lohiya offers skin booster treatments for patients whose skin needs hydration, improved texture or a quality reset – not reshaping or volume addition, but a genuine improvement in how the skin feels and looks at the surface level.
What Are Skin Boosters? How They Are Different from Fillers
Most people have heard of dermal fillers – they add volume and reshape facial features. Skin boosters are different. They are not about adding structure or changing your face shape. They are about improving the quality of your skin itself.
Skin boosters are injectable hyaluronic acid (HA) solutions delivered through a series of tiny microinjections across the face, neck, decolletage or hands. The HA used in skin boosters is thinner and more fluid than the HA in fillers – it is designed to spread within the skin tissue and attract water molecules, creating a reservoir of hydration deep in the dermis where topical moisturisers cannot reach.
One millilitre of hyaluronic acid can attract and hold up to 1,000 millilitres of water. That water-binding capacity is what makes the skin look plumper, smoother and more luminous after a skin booster course – not from any injected volume, but from the water the HA draws into the tissue around it.
How Does a Skin Booster Treatment Work at Skinsure Clinic?
The process is straightforward and the session is comfortable for most patients. Here is what happens from start to finish:
1. Consultation
Dr. Rashmi examines your skin – assessing hydration levels, texture, dullness, fine line pattern and any specific concerns like crepe skin on the neck or tired-looking under-eyes. She explains what a skin booster course will realistically do for your skin type and how many sessions are needed.
2. Numbing Cream
A topical anaesthetic cream is applied to the treatment area and left for 20 to 30 minutes before the session begins. This makes the microinjections comfortable for virtually all patients.
3. Microinjections
The skin booster product is delivered through a series of tiny injections placed at a shallow depth across the treatment area in a grid pattern. Each injection places a small depot of HA just beneath the skin surface. The needle is very fine and the injection points are spaced evenly across the zone being treated.
4. Immediately After
You will see small raised papules (tiny bumps) across the treated area immediately after the session. These are the HA depots sitting just under the skin. They settle and flatten over 12 to 24 hours as the HA spreads through the tissue. This is completely normal and expected.
5. Results Over the Following Weeks
As the HA integrates into the dermis and begins attracting water, the skin gradually improves. You will notice better hydration and a natural glow within 1 to 2 weeks of the first session. The full benefit of a course – smoother skin, improved elasticity, reduced fine lines from dehydration – is most visible after 2 to 3 sessions.

What Skin Boosters Actually Do for Your Skin
Skin boosters do not change your face shape and they do not erase deep lines. What they do is improve the condition of the skin itself – and that improvement shows in ways that both you and other people notice.
Natural Glow and Radiance
Dehydrated skin scatters light unevenly – it looks dull and flat regardless of skincare. When the dermis is properly hydrated, light reflects more evenly and the skin has the luminosity associated with healthy, well-rested skin. Patients consistently describe looking “fresher” and “more awake” after a skin booster course.
Improved Skin Texture and Smoothness
Rough, uneven or “crepe-like” skin texture is often a sign of dermal dehydration. Skin boosters smooth this texture from within – not by adding a surface layer, but by improving the structural hydration that supports smooth skin from the inside. Even established textural concerns like mild chicken skin or fine surface irregularity improve significantly.
Reduced Fine Lines from Dehydration
Many fine lines – especially on the forehead, around the mouth and at the outer corners of the eyes – are partly or entirely caused by skin dehydration. These “dehydration lines” respond well to skin boosters because the underlying cause is being treated. Deep expression lines or structural wrinkles need a different treatment, but surface lines from dryness improve noticeably.
Improved Skin Elasticity
HA stimulates fibroblasts – the cells that produce collagen and elastin. Over a course of treatment, skin boosters not only hydrate the skin but also promote the production of new collagen, which gradually improves elasticity. This is why patients who maintain regular skin booster sessions over 12 to 18 months often report that their skin feels progressively firmer and more resilient.
Neck and Decolletage Skin Quality
The neck and chest area show age and sun damage early – thin, crepey skin, horizontal lines and uneven texture. These areas respond beautifully to skin boosters because they have fewer sebaceous glands than the face and tend toward chronic dehydration. Treating the face and neck in the same session gives a cohesive improvement across the full visible skin surface.
Hands and Other Body Areas
The hands are one of the most visible areas of skin ageing – thinning skin, prominent veins and age spots. Skin boosters improve skin quality and thickness on the back of the hands significantly. Under-eye skin, which is extremely thin and prone to dehydration, is another area that benefits from a targeted skin booster approach distinct from tear trough filler.
Types of Skin Boosters Available at Skinsure Clinic, Baner
Not all skin booster products are the same. Different formulations are suited to different skin concerns. Dr. Rashmi selects the right product based on your skin assessment.
| Type of Skin Booster | Description |
|---|---|
| 1. Classic Hyaluronic Acid Skin Boosters | The original skin booster formulation - stabilised, injectable HA delivered through microinjections. The most widely used skin booster category with the longest clinical track record. Brands like Restylane Skinboosters and Juvederm Volite fall into this category. Ideal for general skin hydration, glow improvement and fine surface line reduction across the face, neck and hands. |
| 2. Polynucleotide (PDRN) Skin Treatments | Polynucleotides are DNA fragments derived from salmon or trout that stimulate tissue repair and regeneration at a cellular level. They go beyond hydration - they actively trigger the skin's own repair mechanisms, improving damaged skin, acne scars, sun damage and overall skin quality over a course of treatment. PDRN treatments are particularly effective for skin that has been through trauma: post-acne, post-laser recovery or chronically sun-damaged skin. |
| 3. Profhilo | Profhilo is a specific high-concentration HA product delivered through just 10 injection points on the face (5 on each side), using a technique called the BAP (Bio Aesthetic Points) protocol. It spreads through the tissue extremely efficiently, providing both immediate hydration and longer-term bioremodelling - stimulating collagen and elastin production. Profhilo is often described as "a skin booster and a biostimulator in one." It is a good choice for patients who want visible skin quality improvement with minimal injection points. |
Which Areas Can Be Treated with Skin Boosters?
Skin boosters are not limited to the face. Any area of skin that suffers from dehydration, thinning or textural change can benefit. At Skinsure Clinic, Baner, the most commonly treated areas are:
- Face - full face or targeted zones (forehead, cheeks, around the mouth, under-eyes)
- Neck - one of the most visibly ageing areas, responds well to skin boosters
- Decolletage - chest area showing sun damage, crepiness and textural change
- Hands - thinning skin, prominent tendons and age-related texture on the back of the hands
- Under-eyes - the thinnest skin on the face, prone to dehydration lines and hollow appearance
- Inner arms - for patients with textural skin concerns in this area

What to Expect Before, During and After Your Skin Booster Session
During the Session
The treatment takes 30 to 45 minutes for the face. Adding the neck or hands extends this to 60 to 75 minutes. With numbing cream applied beforehand, most patients describe the sensation as a mild prickling or slight stinging during injection – not pain. The session is calm and straightforward.
Immediately After - The Papule Stage
Right after treatment, small raised bumps (papules) are visible across the treated area. This looks a little unusual but is entirely normal – it is the HA sitting in the shallow injection points before it disperses. These flatten within 12 to 24 hours. Most patients treat skin booster sessions as a late-afternoon appointment so the papule stage passes overnight.
The First Week
Mild redness and very occasional small bruising may be present for 1 to 3 days. Makeup can be applied from the next morning. Avoid swimming, saunas and vigorous exercise for 24 hours after the session. Normal daily activity resumes immediately.
How Many Sessions and When You See Results
- Most patients do a course of 3 sessions, spaced 3 to 4 weeks apart
- First noticeable change: skin glow and improved hydration at 1 to 2 weeks after session 1
- Texture improvement: most visible after session 2 or 3
- Best overall result: 4 to 6 weeks after completing the course
- Maintenance: one session every 4 to 6 months keeps results consistent
Frequently Asked Questions - Skin Boosters Treatment in Pune
A skin booster is an injectable hyaluronic acid treatment designed to deeply hydrate the skin from within. Unlike dermal fillers, which add volume and reshape facial features, skin boosters spread within the dermis and attract water molecules to create a reservoir of hydration at a depth that topical moisturisers cannot reach. The result is improved skin glow, texture, elasticity and a reduction in fine surface lines caused by dehydration. Fillers change your shape - skin boosters change your skin quality. At Skinsure Clinic in Baner, Dr. Rashmi often combines both in a treatment plan where appropriate.
Most patients complete a course of 3 sessions spaced 3 to 4 weeks apart. The first noticeable improvement - better glow and hydration - is usually visible 1 to 2 weeks after the first session. The full benefit of the course is most visible 4 to 6 weeks after the third session. Results from a full course last approximately 6 to 9 months, after which a maintenance session every 4 to 6 months keeps the improvement consistent. Patients who maintain regular skin booster sessions often notice progressive improvement in skin quality over 12 to 18 months.
With topical numbing cream applied before the session, most patients describe skin boosters as mildly uncomfortable rather than painful - a slight prickling sensation during the microinjections. Immediately after, small raised papules (tiny bumps) are visible across the treated area. This is normal and settles within 12 to 24 hours as the HA disperses into the tissue. Mild redness may be present for 1 to 2 days. There is no significant downtime - normal activities resume immediately and makeup can be applied the following morning.
Profhilo is a specific high-concentration HA product delivered through only 10 injection points on the face using the BAP (Bio Aesthetic Points) protocol. It is thinner than standard skin boosters and spreads very efficiently through the tissue, providing both immediate hydration and longer-term biostimulation - actively triggering collagen and elastin production over time. Standard HA skin boosters use more injection points across the treatment area and are better for targeted zone treatment. Profhilo is more efficient for patients wanting the most coverage with the fewest injection points. Dr. Rashmi chooses between the two based on your skin assessment and preferences.
Yes - and this is one of the most common reasons patients visit Skinsure Clinic in Baner for skin boosters. Pune winters combined with long hours in air-conditioned offices cause chronic transepidermal water loss, leaving the skin dull, tight and prone to fine dehydration lines. Topical moisturisers help temporarily but cannot reach the dermis where structural hydration is maintained. A course of skin boosters replenishes this deep hydration, visibly improving skin quality within 2 to 3 sessions. Most Pune patients maintain results with one or two sessions per year aligned with the drier seasons.
