## Resource

In this episode of After Hours Skin Clinic, consultant dermatologists Dr Emma Craythorne and Dr Ellie Rashid unpack one of the most talked-about trends in aesthetic dermatology: injectable moisturisers, also known as skin boosters. They're marketed as the secret to glass skin, deep hydration, and radiant glow...but are they actually worth it? We break down the science behind hyaluronic acid injections, how they differ from traditional dermal fillers, and what the evidence really shows when it comes to hydration, skin quality, and long-term results. You’ll learn: What “injectable moisturisers” actually are How skin boosters differ from fillers Whether they improve hydration, texture, and wrinkles How long results last (and why maintenance is key) The truth about treatments like Profilo and polynucleotides Risks, side effects, and what to expect after treatment Whether they’re worth the time, cost, and attention they get Emma and Ellie also discuss the limitations of current research, the role of marketing in aesthetic treatments, and why these procedures should never replace a solid skincare routine. 💡 Key takeaway: Skin boosters may offer temporary hydration and glow...but they are not a substitute for medical-grade skincare or more targeted treatments.
