Quality, not volume

For skin that looks tired rather than lined

Skin boosters in Middlesbrough at Helena Aesthetics are a hydrating treatment placed into the skin itself, designed to improve how your skin looks and feels rather than to change the shape of your face. They suit skin that has started to look dull, dry or tired. A VTCT Level 4 practitioner from a medical background carries out the treatment in a clean, clinical setting, and it always starts with a consultation.

What it is

What are skin boosters?

Skin boosters are a series of very small injections of hyaluronic acid placed into the skin. Hyaluronic acid is a substance your skin already contains, and its job is to hold water.

The aim is hydration and skin quality. Many clients come to me because their skin has started to look dull, dry or a bit tired, and makeup is sitting less well than it used to. Skin boosters work on that, rather than on lines or shape.

At Helena Aesthetics on Acklam Road in Middlesbrough I do skin boosters in a clean, clinical setting, and we always start with a proper consultation so I can look at your skin and tell you honestly whether this is the right treatment for you.

The difference

Skin boosters or dermal fillers?

Skin boosters

go into the skin to hydrate it and improve its condition. They are not designed to add volume or change your shape. Think of it as treating the skin itself.

Dermal fillers

sit deeper and are used to restore volume or soften a specific fold, such as the nasolabial lines. Think of it as treating structure.

Not rivals

Some people need one, some need the other, and some need neither. This is exactly what the consultation is for. If skin boosters are not the right answer for your skin, I will tell you.

Cannot recommend enough!!! Always struggled with body image, from tiny little skin tags that progressively got bigger on my neck and eyelids, and I am so glad I trusted Helena to get rid of them for me, the confidence I feel now is unmatched! Family members will be getting theirs done now too! Pain is minimal, and controlled on your own terms which helped massively having the confidence to just ask for a quick break from treatment in the tender areas. Left with no scarring and photos to prove below. Fantastic customer service, and I’m about to book a 3rd appointment for my final skin tag removal! Gone forever, no scarring, more than fair prices. 10/10 ❤️ see photos, before, after treatment and once healed (1 week later) x

Absolutely love my results! My brows have a lovely subtle lift, my eyes look more open, and my forehead looks smooth while still feeling completely natural. I couldn’t be happier. Thank you, Helena - you are truly the Best!!!

As I’ve got older, I’ve noticed my lips gradually losing volume and definition, feeling thinner and paler than they used to. I never felt comfortable with the idea of Botox, fillers or any invasive cosmetic procedures – I wanted something gentler but still effective. That’s why permanent lip tattooing felt like the perfect choice: it would add natural-looking colour, restore shape and give me a fresher, more youthful look without the risks or downtime of surgery.After researching my options, I found Helen and immediately felt reassured by her years of expertise and glowing reputation. From our very first chat, she was incredibly professional, taking time to explain every step, talk through colours that would suit my skin tone, and answer all my questions patiently. Her communication was clear and friendly throughout, and I felt completely confident putting my trust in her.The results have exceeded my expectations – my lips look fuller, more vibrant, and perfectly natural. Helen’s skill and attention to detail are outstanding, and I couldn’t be happier with the whole experience. I’d absolutely recommend her to anyone considering this treatment!

I had an anti-wrinkle treatment at Helena Cosmetics and the results were amazing! My skin looks smoother, and more lifted. Elena was professional and made me feel totally at ease. I didn’t expect such a noticeable difference! I highly recommend.

I’ve had 3 sessions of PRP for hair regrowth and facial PRP (vampire facial) and can’t recommend her enough. Extremely knowledgable and friendly and very competitive prices for such high quality service.

I had a chain of skin tags around my neck that made me feel self-conscious. Helena removed them so carefully, and now I wear necklaces and open tops with confidence. She’s a miracle worker!

I always thought eyeliner wouldn’t work on my hooded eyes, but Helena proved me wrong. She created a subtle, lifted wing that opens my eyes up beautifully. I haven’t worn eyeliner since because I don’t need to!

I had a plasma facial today and it was absolutely amazing! The treatment was so professional, and I already feel like my skin is glowing. Helena explained everything clearly and made me feel totally at ease. I’m so excited to see the results as my skin heals, I already feel more confident. Highly recommend to anyone thinking about giving their skin a boost!

I had PRP plasma with Helena for years and always love my results. It takes time to see it and if you do regularly you will see the brightness , glowing and hydration in your skin. She takes your blood really gently and professionally. Also she suggests and explains about the treatment and how many should I do it. 3-5-8 treatments and you love to see your face in the mirror 🥰. Helena thank you for my glowing skin ! 🥰

I highly recommend Helena for aesthetic improvements. After a medical condition a few years ago left half of my face slightly droopy, I wanted to address the lingering effects. I was nervous about the process, but Helena immediately put me at ease. I trust her completely. Her skill and attention to detail have made a significant positive impact on my appearance, and I'm so grateful for her expertise.

Common questions

Skin boosters FAQ

Skin boosters go into the skin to hydrate it and improve its quality. Dermal fillers sit deeper and restore volume or soften a specific fold. Boosters treat the skin, fillers treat the structure.

They are aimed at skin that looks dull, dry or tired, where the concern is the condition of the skin rather than lines or shape.

That is not the aim. Skin boosters are not designed to add volume or alter your shape. The goal is that your skin looks better hydrated and in better condition.

That is what the consultation is for. I look at your skin, talk through what is bothering you, and give you an honest answer, including if I think something else would suit you better.

Yes. Every treatment at Helena Aesthetics starts with a consultation. There is no pressure and no obligation to book anything on the day.

Often yes, but the order and the timing matter. We plan it properly at your consultation rather than doing everything at once.
