Whether you want to smooth lines, restore hydration, or transform tired skin, we’ll create a treatment plan tailored to you.

 What Do Skin Boosters Do?

Skin boosters target the common signs of tired or ageing skin:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Dryness and dehydration
  • Loss of firmness or elasticity
  • Uneven texture or enlarged pores
  • Dull, stressed, or sun-damaged skin

Think of them as a deep drink of hydration and nutrients for your skin, helping it to look fresh, smooth, and glowing.

Microneedling

If you want to reduce the appearance of lines, improve your skin’s texture and restore some bounce, microneedling could be exactly what you need.

Most clients notice a fresher look after the first session; and even more visible results after a course of treatments.

Microneedling uses tiny, sterile needles to create controlled micro-channels. These promote new collagen and elastin production, which leads to smoother, bouncier and more even skin tone.

You can expect your make-up to sit better, and less dry patches, pores and fine lines.

Consider microneedling in South Queensferry if you’re suffering from:

  • Fine lines around your eyes, mouth or forehead
  • Rough or bumpy texture
  • Post-acne marks and mild scarring
  • Rosacea
  • Pigmentation

Frequently Asked Questions About Skin Boosters & Microneedling in South Queensferry

Are skin boosters the same as fillers?

No — fillers add structure or volume. Skin boosters improve the quality of your skin (hydration, glow, elasticity).

Skin boosters flood the skin with deep hydration for a dewy, bouncy look.

Microneedling encourages fresh collagen that helps soften the appearance of fine lines, pores and old marks.

Skin boosters & microneedling can be done separately or in combination for enhanced glow and improved texture.

It depends on your pain threshold and how sensitive your skin is

Most people describe it as an uncomfortable scratchy feeling. If you are particularly sensitive we can use a numbing option to reduce discomfort.

You can expect pinkness and warmth for up-to 48 hours and we advise you avoid wearing makeup 24 hours after microneedling.

No. Skin boosters is a broad category of treatments that hydrate and improve skin quality. Profhilo is one specific brand of injectable skin booster/“skin remodeller” made with high-concentration hyaluronic acid.

Other skin boosters use different formulas (e.g., HA blends or polynucleotides) and protocols. We’ll recommend the right option for your skin and goals at consultation.

Skin boosters are great for skin that feels dull, dehydrated or a bit uneven in tone and texture.

You can’t have a skin booster if:

  • you have active skin infections or open wounds, including cold sores
  • You have recently suffered from sunburn
  • You have recently had a skin peel.
  • You’re pregnant or breast-feeding.
  • You’re under 18
  • You’re allergic to any of the ingredients
  • You’re living with certain medical conditions (e.g. autoimmune conditions, bleeding disorders, or on specific medications)

We’ll run through your medical history and current skincare at consultation to keep you safe.

3–5 days before your skin treatment you should pause retinoids, strong acids and exfoliation, and avoid tanning.

You’ll be given aftercare advice at your appointment at Ashley Clarke, which includes:

  • Use gentle cleanser, hydrate, SPF daily
  • Avoid heat, swimming and heavy workouts for 24–48 hours
  • No exfoliants or retinoids for 1 week
  • Avoid touching your skin and do not wear makeup for 24 hours post-needling.

That depends on your skin’s current appearance, your lifestyle and how committed you are to long-lasting results.

Most clients have a course of 3-6 microneedling treatments that are spaced out every 4-6 weeks. 

Skin boosters can be a single treatment with maintenance top-ups or a short course. 

We’ll come up with a personalised plan to suit you.
