What is the Skin Booster service at Me Clinic?
The Skin Booster service described by Me Clinic involves injections into the skin and assessment of skin-quality concerns, such as fine surface lines and crepiness.
It is different from a moisturising facial or a topical preparation applied to the skin. Your practitioner should explain the exact preparation, its delivery and why it is being considered for your concerns.
Assessment also helps distinguish skin-quality concerns from facial volume loss or tissue sagging. These can require different options.
Skin Booster assessment focuses on skin quality, hydration and glow rather than assuming that every concern needs added volume. Dr Gordon Ku uses this approach within his broader skin rejuvenation and collagen-stimulating care. The exact treatment preparation, suitability and plan need to be explained for the option being considered.
What concerns are assessed?
Fine surface lines and crepiness
Fine lines and a crepey appearance may relate to several changes within the skin. The practitioner assesses the area and explains whether the proposed treatment is suitable.
Dry-looking skin and skin quality
Dryness can involve the skin barrier, everyday care and other factors. It should not automatically be treated as a reason for an injected procedure.
A skin assessment may identify a suitable skincare plan or another approach.
Whether another pathway is more relevant
Hollow cheeks, heavier jowls or substantial loose skin are different from surface skin-quality concerns.
Our Volume Enhancement consultation pathway and KuLift guide explain other assessment routes.
Who may be suitable?
Suitability depends on the actual preparation, treatment area and your health and skin characteristics.
Tell your practitioner about:
- Medicines, supplements and allergies.
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding.
- Active skin irritation or infection.
- Previous injections, threads or facial surgery.
- Earlier reactions to cosmetic treatment.
- Your goals and upcoming events.
The practitioner should explain any contraindications and whether another option may be more appropriate.
Understanding the proposed treatment
Before proceeding, you should understand which preparation will be used and how it will be delivered.
The practitioner should explain:
- Why it is being considered.
- The proposed treatment areas.
- Expected benefits and the evidence supporting them.
- Risks and alternatives.
- Whether one appointment or a course is proposed.
- Aftercare and review arrangements.
A product intended for topical use is not automatically suitable for injection. The preparation and route need to be established as part of treatment planning.
Results and their limitations
Early swelling or small raised areas can temporarily change the skin’s appearance. These should not be mistaken for a lasting treatment result.
The expected change and its timing depend on the preparation and plan. There is no universal result timeline or guaranteed duration for every treatment described as a Skin Booster.
Review should assess the response before further treatment is recommended.
How Skin Booster differs from other options
Skin Booster and skin needling
Skin Needling involves controlled punctures. It is a distinct procedure, even where another preparation is applied alongside it.
The presence of the same product name does not make topical application, needling and injection interchangeable.
Skin Booster and volume enhancement
Volume assessment concerns fullness, balance and proportion. Skin-quality treatment should not be assumed to correct structural hollowing.
Skin Booster and PRX Plus
PRX Plus is applied topically in the clinic pathway described by the skin team. It is not the injected service described on this page.
Skin Booster and collagen-related assessment
Our collagen and skin firmness guide explains why skin support, lifting and volume goals need to be distinguished.
** EMBEDDED RISKS DISCLAIMER **
Contact the clinic promptly about worsening pain, increasing redness, discharge or persistent swelling. Sudden visual changes or other severe symptoms require urgent medical attention.
More information about Skin Booster assessment
What happens during consultation?
The practitioner assesses your concerns and reviews your health, medicines and previous treatment.
They should explain the preparation, suitability, alternatives and risks before you decide whether to proceed.
What affects the cost?
Cost depends on your concerns, treatment area and the specific treatment recommended for your circumstances.
You can enquire about pricing or discuss it during consultation. The proposed cost should be explained before treatment.
What should I expect after treatment?
Temporary bumps, redness, tenderness or bruising may affect appearance and comfort. Their duration varies.
Allow flexibility around work and events. Follow the instructions provided for cleansing, skincare, makeup and activity.
How many appointments might be needed?
For the E-50 option described in the supplied clinic account, a course may involve at least two treatments around four to six weeks apart. Temporary bumps may settle within half a day to one or two days. These are planning examples; your response and the confirmed preparation may require a different course or recovery allowance.
The number and spacing of appointments depend on the preparation, treatment goal and response.
Your practitioner should explain the purpose of any proposed course. Further treatment should not be automatic.
How is follow-up arranged?
The practitioner will explain how the response will be reviewed and how to contact the clinic about concerns.
Follow-up instructions should identify expected effects, symptoms requiring review and what to do outside normal clinic hours.
Can it be combined with another treatment?
Potentially, if the treatments have separate purposes and the combination is appropriate.
Each component needs its own assessment. The practitioner may recommend spacing appointments to allow recovery.
Risks and recovery
Alongside the general non-surgical treatment risks, specific considerations for this treatment include:
Injections can cause temporary redness, swelling, bruising, tenderness and raised areas at treatment sites.
Other risks depend on the preparation and location. They may include infection, allergic or inflammatory reactions, persistent lumps, unevenness and an unsatisfactory result. Serious complications can occur with some facial injections.
Your practitioner should explain the relevant risks rather than relying on a general “minimal downtime” description.
Contact the clinic promptly about worsening pain, increasing redness, discharge or persistent swelling. Sudden visual changes or other severe symptoms require urgent medical attention.
Why Me Clinic
Me Clinic offers assessment across cosmetic medicine, skin treatment and thread lifting.
This helps distinguish skin-quality concerns from volume changes and tissue descent. Your consultation should explain the proposed option, its limits and alternatives rather than assume that one treatment addresses everything.
Your practitioners and consultation
Dr Gordon Ku and Daniel Silpaps provide supported cosmetic-medicine consultations within their respective scopes.

Frequently asked questions
Is Skin Booster the same as a moisturising facial?
No. The service described here involves injections, with different assessment, risk and aftercare requirements from a facial.
Is it the same as exosome skin needling?
No. A preparation’s name does not establish that its delivery is the same. Injection and application alongside needling require separate consideration.
Can it correct substantial sagging or hollow cheeks?
It should not be assumed to do so. Those concerns may need a lifting or volume assessment.
Can I return to work the next day?
That depends on the treatment and your response. Small bumps, redness or bruising may remain visible, so next-day social readiness cannot be guaranteed.
Can I apply makeup straight afterwards?
Follow the practitioner’s instructions. Do not assume that covering treatment sites immediately is appropriate.
