Skin Boosters in Glenrothes, Fife
Deep Hydration. Improved Skin Quality. Naturally Radiant Results.
At House of Aesthetics by Chic Pharmacy, our medical-grade skin booster treatments are designed to improve skin quality from within.
Unlike dermal fillers, which restore lost volume, skin boosters work by deeply hydrating the skin and stimulating collagen production to improve texture, elasticity and luminosity.
Whether you're noticing fine lines, dull skin, dehydration or loss of firmness, skin boosters can help restore healthier, smoother and naturally glowing skin.
Every treatment begins with a comprehensive consultation to recommend the most appropriate skin booster for your individual concerns.

Which Skin Concerns Can Skin Boosters Treat?
Skin boosters are ideal for patients wanting healthier skin rather than dramatic cosmetic changes.
They can improve:
- Dehydrated skin
- Fine lines
- Crepey skin
- Loss of elasticity
- Dull complexion
- Rough skin texture
- Ageing skin
- Neck lines
- Décolletage ageing
- Hand rejuvenation
- Overall skin quality
Results develop gradually as hydration improves and collagen production increases.
What Are Skin Boosters?
Skin boosters are injectable hyaluronic acid or regenerative treatments placed just beneath the skin's surface.
Rather than adding volume, they improve the quality of the skin itself by increasing hydration, supporting collagen production and restoring a smoother, healthier appearance.
The result is fresher, firmer, more radiant skin that still looks completely natural.

Most appointments take around 30–45 minutes, with minimal downtime afterwards.
You can usually return to normal activities the same day.
The appointment usually takes around 45–60 minutes.

Skin Boosters vs Dermal Fillers
Although both treatments use injectable products, they achieve very different results.
Skin Boosters
- Improve skin quality
- Hydrate the skin
- Stimulate collagen
- Natural glow
- No dramatic volume
Dermal Fillers
- Restore volume
- Sculpt facial contours
- Replace lost structure
- Shape and definition
- Visible contouring
Many patients choose to combine both treatments for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
Skin Boosters vs Profhilo®
Profhilo® is actually one type of skin booster.
There isn't one "best" skin booster—only the one that's best for your skin concerns.
During your consultation we'll recommend the treatment most likely to achieve your goals, whether that's Profhilo®, Sunekos® or Polynucleotides.

FAQs
Are skin boosters the same as fillers?
No. Skin boosters improve hydration and skin quality rather than adding volume or changing facial shape.
When will I see results?
Many patients notice improved hydration within a few weeks, with collagen stimulation continuing over the following months.
Is there any downtime?
Most patients experience small injection marks or mild swelling that settles within 24–48 hours.
Can skin boosters be combined with other treatments?
Yes. Skin boosters work exceptionally well alongside HydraFacial®, LaseMD Ultra®, microneedling, anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers as part of a personalised skin health plan.
My favourite skin boosters for specific concerns
Our Pharmacist Picks
Every patient's skin is different, which is why there isn't a single "best" skin booster. During your consultation I'll recommend the treatment that's most appropriate for your skin concerns, but if you're wondering where I often start, these are some of my personal favourites.
Best for Under-Eye Rejuvenation
Plinest®
The delicate skin beneath the eyes is one of the first areas to show signs of ageing.
Plinest® is my preferred choice for many patients looking to improve:
- Fine lines
- Crepey skin
- Dark, tired-looking eyes
- Skin quality around the eyes
Rather than adding volume, Plinest® works by supporting skin regeneration, helping the under-eye area appear healthier, smoother and more refreshed over time.
Best for Overall Skin Glow
Profhilo®
If someone asks me for that healthy, hydrated, "you look well" glow, Profhilo® is often one of the first treatments I consider.
It's ideal for:
- Dull skin
- Dehydration
- Fine lines
- Loss of elasticity
- Overall facial rejuvenation
Profhilo® spreads beneath the skin to improve hydration while stimulating collagen and elastin, giving beautifully natural results without changing your facial features.
Best for Neck Lines & Crepey Skin
Newest®
The neck is one of the most challenging areas to treat, and often shows signs of ageing before the face.
Newest® is one of my preferred treatments for improving:
- Horizontal neck lines
- Crepey skin
- Skin laxity
- Overall neck skin quality
It works to deeply hydrate the skin while supporting collagen production, helping create smoother, firmer-looking skin over a series of treatments.
Remember...
These are simply my personal favourites for these common concerns.
During your consultation, we'll assess your skin, discuss your goals and create a treatment plan that's tailored specifically to you. Sometimes that will match the recommendations above, and sometimes another treatment will be a better fit.
"As a prescribing pharmacist, I choose treatments based on the evidence and the individual in front of me—not what's trending on social media. These are the products I reach for most often, but every recommendation is tailored to your skin." — Kara, Prescribing Pharmacist & Advanced Aesthetic Practitioner
