Skin Boosters in Leeds: Profhilo vs Seventy Hyal vs Jalupro
By Sasha, Founder & Head Practitioner, Ministry of Faces, Leeds · August 2026 · 7 min read
Your skin has been through it since May. Sun, air conditioning, late nights, a fortnight somewhere hot, and now the Yorkshire mornings have turned. Something in the mirror looks off.
It isn't lines. You could live with lines. It's the flatness. Foundation clings by lunchtime, and you catch yourself in the car mirror lifting the skin at your jaw thinking, there she is.
That's a hydration and collagen problem, and filler won't fix it. Filler is for shape. This is about the quality of the skin itself, which is the gap skin boosters were built to fill. They've quietly become the most requested thing in Rawdon, and September is when the diary fills.
So here's what they are, which one suits which face, and how we choose at Ministry of Faces.
Filler changes your shape. Skin boosters change your skin. Confuse the two and you get a fuller face that still looks tired.
THE TREATMENT
What a skin booster actually does
A skin booster is an injectable, but it behaves nothing like dermal filler. Filler sits deep, holds its shape and rebuilds structure. A booster goes into the skin itself and spreads through it. It won't lift a cheek or sharpen a jaw. It rehydrates the tissue and wakes up the cells that make your own collagen and elastin.
The clever part is the second act. Hyaluronic acid pulls water into the dermis straight away, so you look plumped and dewy within days. Then across four weeks the fibroblasts respond and lay down fresh collagen. The real result turns up a month in, not on the drive home.
And no, it isn't a glow drip. I'm firm about this. Skin quality is built in the dermis, not in a bag hanging off a stand.
WHAT IT TREATS
What skin boosters are brilliant for
If your complaint starts with the word tired, or the word crepey, this is usually the answer.
Dull, flat skin that stopped catching the light across the cheeks and forehead
Fine crepey texture around the under-eye and upper cheek, where filler would be far too heavy
Neck and décolletage, which give age away faster than a face ever does
Backs of the hands, which most clinics forget about entirely
Skin through perimenopause, when oestrogen drops and collagen goes with it
Pre-wedding, pre-holiday and party season glow, started early enough to actually work
Late twenties and early thirties, keeping what you have rather than chasing what's gone. Pair it with baby anti-wrinkle dosing
COMPARISON
Profhilo, Seventy Hyal and Jalupro: what we use in Leeds
There are dozens of boosters on the market. Most clinics stock one and sell it to everybody, which is lazy. We keep four, because faces differ.
Booster | Best for | Course | Results last |
|---|---|---|---|
Laxity and firmness. Bio-remodelling across face, neck and hands, strongest from your thirties onward | 3 sessions, 4 weeks apart | Around 6 months | |
Instant hydration and glow. A higher weight hyaluronic acid, lovely on younger skin and first timers | 2 to 3 sessions, 3 to 4 weeks apart | 6 to 12 months | |
Amino acids with hyaluronic acid. Our pick for dehydrated, sun-damaged skin and stubborn texture | 2 to 3 sessions, monthly | Around 6 months | |
Polynucleotide based and made for the eye area. Dark circles, crepe and fine lines | 3 sessions, 2 to 3 weeks apart | 3 to 6 months | |

Profhilo is the one people arrive asking for, and often they're right. It goes in at ten points across the face, five each side, so the product travels through the tissue rather than sitting where the needle went. Ten minutes and you're done. But if you're 29 with good bone structure and you just want your skin to look expensive, Seventy Hyal is the better buy and I'll say so.
Jalupro is the quiet overachiever. The amino acids give fibroblasts something to build with, which is why it earns its place on skin that's had twenty summers of sun and not much factor 50.
If you aren't sure which one you need, that is exactly what the free consultation is for. We assess your skin in person and recommend honestly. We don't sell you a course you don't need.
YOUR TREATMENT PLAN
What happens, and when you'll see it
When | What you'll notice |
|---|---|
On the day | Ten to fifteen minutes in the chair. Small raised bumps where the product goes in, which settle within a few hours. |
Days 1 to 3 | Bumps gone. Skin already feels softer and holds makeup better. |
Weeks 1 to 3 | Hydration settles in. People start telling you that you look well rested. |
Week 4 | Second session. Collagen from the first one is already building. |
Weeks 6 to 8 | The real result. Firmer, smoother, brighter, and still completely your own face. |
Month 6 | A single top up holds it. Maintenance from here is easy. |
Downtime is close to nothing. A few small bumps, occasionally a little pinkness, and you're straight back to your afternoon. Most people book in on a lunch break and nobody at work notices anything except that they look well. Aftercare goes home with you, and our FAQ page covers the rest.
The compliment you want isn't what have you had done. It's you look really well at the moment. That is what good skin work sounds like.
WHAT IT COMBINES WITH
What skin boosters pair with beautifully
Boosters do one job and do it properly. They won't relax a muscle and they won't rebuild a cheekbone. The best faces coming out of our clinic are small amounts of two or three things, not a lot of one.
Anti-wrinkle injections for the movement lines a booster can't touch. Better skin plus softer expression is the pairing that reads as well rested. Our complete guide to anti-wrinkle injections has the detail
Polynucleotides or Illuma Luna when skin is thin, reactive or genuinely damaged. Our polynucleotide guide explains where they beat a standard booster
Tear trough filler where there's a true hollow, with a booster handling the crepe around it
Cheek filler or jawline filler when structure has gone and hydration alone won't lift it
A hydrofacial or one of our luxury facials a fortnight either side, so the surface matches the depth
Dermal filler packages if you're treating more than one area, which is usually better value
IS IT FOR YOU
Who this suits, and who it doesn't
Skin boosters suit almost anyone whose skin has lost its bounce. Late twenties as prevention, thirties and forties as the workhorse, fifties and beyond as part of a plan. They're superb for men, who want visible improvement with nothing that looks done.
They aren't the answer if your real issue is heaviness at the jaw, a deep fold, or lines that only show when you move. I'd rather say so at consultation than take your money for a course that can't deliver it. Being recognised as Best Aesthetic Practitioner UK doesn't come from selling everybody the same syringe.
We look after patients from Rawdon, Horsforth, Guiseley, Yeadon, Bramhope, Ilkley, Leeds city centre and across Bradford, plus plenty who used to drive to London or Manchester and worked out the work up here is every bit as good, with free parking outside. Have a look at our skin clinic in Leeds.
Good skin isn't a treatment. It's a plan, done consistently, by someone who tells you when to stop.
Start your course in September and your skin peaks for Christmas. Start it in late November and you're still waiting when the invitations land.
QUESTIONS
Skin booster questions we get asked every week
Are skin boosters the same as dermal filler?
No, and the difference matters. Dermal filler is placed deep to create shape, which is why it works so well for cheeks or lips. A skin booster goes into the skin to improve hydration, firmness and texture without changing your shape. Plenty of our patients have both, for different reasons. A free consultation is the quickest way to find out which your face is asking for.
How many sessions of skin boosters will I need?
Most courses run to 2 to 3 sessions, spaced 3 to 4 weeks apart, then a single maintenance session roughly every 6 months. Profhilo is usually 2 sessions, Seventy Hyal and Jalupro can be 3. We'll map the plan out at your consultation so you know exactly what's ahead before you commit. Book online when you're ready.
Do skin boosters hurt?
Far less than people expect. A very fine needle, numbing cream where you want it, and the whole thing takes ten to fifteen minutes. Most people describe it as quick scratches and go back to work afterwards. Our FAQ page covers aftercare, and we'll talk you through it in the chair.
Which skin booster is best for under-eye skin?
Lumi Eyes was designed for it, and polynucleotides are outstanding on thin, crepey, dark under-eye skin. If there's a genuine hollow underneath, that's a job for tear trough filler instead, sometimes alongside a booster. Come in and we'll tell you which of the three you need.
Can I have skin boosters and anti-wrinkle injections together?
Yes, and it's one of our most popular combinations. Anti-wrinkle injections soften movement lines while the booster improves the skin those lines sit in. We usually treat both in one appointment to save you a trip. Ask about package pricing when you book.
