Aesthetic Medicine (Non-Surgical)
Face Skinboosters
Skinboosters are injectable treatments using non-cross-linked (or minimally cross-linked) hyaluronic acid — the same molecule that naturally maintains skin hydration in the dermis, but which gradually depletes with age, sun exposure, and environmental stress. Unlike dermal fillers, skinboosters do not create volume or reshape facial contours. Their sole purpose is to replenish hydration reserves within the dermis, improving skin quality from the inside out. The products used by Dr. Fathi include globally recognized reference brands: Restylane Vital, Juvederm Hydrate, and CE-certified equivalents.

What Are Face Skinboosters?
Skinboosters are injectable treatments using non-cross-linked (or minimally cross-linked) hyaluronic acid — the same molecule that naturally maintains skin hydration in the dermis, but which gradually depletes with age, sun exposure, and environmental stress.

- Luminosity and radiance — a more even, refreshed complexion
- Safe and effective across all Fitzpatrick phototypes (I–VI)

- Natural results with no detectable change in facial shape

Dr. Nahed Fathi Ahmed's Technique
Duration: 30 to 45 minutes
1
Consultation and skin assessment
Dr. Fathi assesses skin type, hydration levels, and specific concerns to design a personalized protocol and identify treatment zones.
2
Topical anaesthetic application
Anaesthetic cream is applied 20–30 minutes before injection to maximize comfort during the micro-injections.
3
Facial mapping and intradermal micro-injections
Dr. Fathi performs injections using ultra-fine 30G or 32G needles (or a fine cannula for sensitive areas), following a precise facial mapping protocol adapted to each patient. Injections are delivered at intradermal depth — targeting the mid-dermis specifically.

Frequently Asked Questions
The treatment is very well tolerated. Topical anaesthetic cream applied 20–30 minutes before injections significantly reduces discomfort. Most patients describe a mild pressure sensation. The periorbital and perioral zones are slightly more sensitive than the cheeks.
Fillers use heavily cross-linked hyaluronic acid designed to add volume, lift, or sculpt. Skinboosters use non or minimally cross-linked hyaluronic acid that disperses through the dermis to hydrate — with no volumizing effect. They are complementary treatments with entirely distinct objectives.
Yes. Dr. Fathi frequently combines skinboosters with facial mesotherapy for an enhanced multi-active protocol, or with Profhilo when both hydration and bio-remodelling are desired.
Following the initial 3-session course, results typically last 6 to 9 months. A single maintenance session every 6 months sustains and gradually improves results over time.
Minimal. Small red papules at injection sites resolve within a few hours to 24 hours. Minor bruising is possible but infrequent. Most patients resume normal activities the same day.
Skinboosters can be started preventatively from age 25–30, especially for patients with naturally dry skin or significant sun exposure. They are equally effective as a corrective treatment from age 35 upward.
Yes. Hyaluronic acid is naturally present in all skin types and tones. Skinboosters are safe and effective across all Fitzpatrick phototypes (I–VI) with no risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
