01Skin Boosters
Skin hydration injections, also known as skin boosters, deliver hyaluronic acid and biorevitalising ingredients directly into the skin for deep hydration, improved texture, and a natural glow from within.
Individual results vary. Your plan and timing are confirmed at consultation.
Skin hydration injections in Christchurch at Silk Clinical Aesthetics deliver a thin, spreadable hyaluronic acid into the skin for deep hydration, improved texture, and radiance, without adding volume. Treatment takes 20 to 30 minutes. A two-treatment course is recommended for HA skin boosters ($1,500), or a three-session Sunekos series ($1,800), with maintenance every 3 to 6 months. Improvements develop over 2 to 4 weeks. Performed by registered nurses.
Unlike traditional dermal fillers that add volume, skin boosters deliver a thin, spreadable form of hyaluronic acid into the superficial layers of the skin. This deeply hydrates the skin from within, improving overall quality, luminosity, and elasticity. We also offer Sunekos, which combines hyaluronic acid with amino acids to stimulate your own collagen and elastin production.
The hyaluronic acid is injected in small deposits across the treatment area, where it attracts and retains moisture. This improves skin hydration, fine lines, texture, and radiance. Sunekos works differently by using a patented combination of hyaluronic acid and amino acids to stimulate the extracellular matrix, encouraging your skin to produce its own collagen and elastin.
Treatment takes 20 to 30 minutes. Multiple small injections are administered across the treatment area. Most clients find the procedure comfortable, especially with topical numbing. Results develop gradually over the treatment course, with optimal results seen after completing the recommended series.
You may notice small bumps at injection sites for 24 to 48 hours. Skin quality improvements develop over 2 to 4 weeks. For skin boosters, a two-treatment course is recommended. For Sunekos, an initial series of three sessions is standard, followed by maintenance. Results include improved hydration, smoothed fine lines, enhanced skin tone, and a natural healthy glow.

Natural, gradual improvement in skin quality and hydration.
Skin boosters improve skin quality (hydration, texture, glow) without adding volume, while dermal fillers add volume to specific areas. They serve different purposes and are often used together for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
For HA skin boosters, a two-treatment course is recommended. For Sunekos, an initial series of three sessions is standard. Maintenance treatments are recommended every 3 to 6 months.
Skin boosters can be used on the face, neck, decolletage, and hands. They are particularly effective for areas showing early signs of ageing or where skin quality has declined.
Small bumps at injection sites may be visible for 24 to 48 hours. Mild redness is possible. Most clients resume normal activities the same day.
Sunekos is a skin biostimulator that combines hyaluronic acid with a patented amino acid formula. Unlike standard skin boosters, Sunekos stimulates your own collagen and elastin production for long-term skin quality improvement.
The recommended two-treatment HA skin booster course is $1,500, with maintenance sessions at $800. The Sunekos initial series of three sessions is $1,800, with maintenance at $600. Prices are a guide; your nurse confirms the right product and course for your skin at consultation.

Most well-built treatment plans use more than one tool. The device below is the one we lean on most often alongside this treatment. The rationale for the pairing is explained below.

Skin hydration injections work at the surface. Volnewmer works in the deep dermis. The two address different layers of the same concern, skin quality, so they sit naturally side by side in a treatment plan rather than competing for the same outcome.
