Skin Boosters Are Not Filler: What Nobody Tells You, With Miss B in Brentwood
One of the most common worries we hear about skin boosters is that they will change the shape of your face. In this video, Miss B, our AI treatment guide, clears up what nobody tells you: skin boosters are not filler. Below, we explain what the treatment is, what it feels like and what is normal in the day or two afterwards.
The presenter in this video, Miss B, is AI-generated. The treatment footage is real, filmed at our clinic and used with consent.
Skin boosters are not filler
It is easy to see why people mix the two up. Both are injectable treatments, and both often use hyaluronic acid, a substance your body already makes. The aim is different, though.
Dermal filler is generally used to add shape, structure or volume to a specific area. Skin boosters are about the quality of the skin itself. As Miss B puts it in the video: "Tiny amounts of hydration just under the skin, so you look fresher, not done."
So, to answer the question directly: no, your face will not change shape. Skin boosters are designed to work on hydration and how the skin looks and feels, rather than on contours.
Who skin boosters may suit
People often ask about skin boosters when their skin looks dull, dry or tired, or when they want a subtle change rather than a noticeable one. They can be a good starting point for anyone who is curious about injectable treatments but does not want to alter their features.
Skin boosters are not right for everyone. Your medical history, current skincare, any recent treatments and your skin's condition on the day all play a part. Your practitioner will check suitability at a consultation and will be honest if a different approach would suit you better. Aesthetic treatments at 65Beauty are for adults aged 18 and over.
What the treatment feels like
The footage in this video was filmed on real treatment days at our Kings Road clinic, so you can see what actually happens.
Skin boosters are placed as tiny amounts just under the skin across the treatment area. Miss B describes it honestly: "You'll feel a few little scratches." Most people find it very manageable, and your practitioner will talk you through each step as they go.
A typical appointment includes:
Consultation and medical history. We check suitability and agree what you would like to achieve.
Skin preparation. The area is cleansed before treatment.
Treatment. Small amounts are placed just under the skin.
Aftercare advice. Your practitioner explains what to expect over the next few days.
After your treatment
It is common to notice small bumps where the product has been placed. In the words of the video: "maybe small bumps for a day or two. Honestly? That's completely normal." Some people also have mild redness, swelling or occasional bruising, which usually settles on its own.
Your practitioner will talk you through aftercare before you leave, including anything to avoid for the first day or two. If anything concerns you after your appointment, contact the clinic.
Results vary from person to person, and some people are advised to have a short course of treatments rather than a single session. This is something to discuss at your consultation.
Common questions
Will skin boosters make me look different?
They are designed to refresh the skin rather than change your features. The aim, as Miss B says, is to look fresher, not done.
Do skin boosters hurt?
Most people describe a few small scratches. Your practitioner will explain what to expect and check how you are feeling throughout.
Are the bumps afterwards a problem?
Small bumps for a day or two are a normal part of the treatment and generally settle without you needing to do anything.
