Dr Derran M Govender offers skin booster injections at his practice in Durban North. Skin boosters hydrate the skin from within, improving texture, glow and fine lines on the face, neck, chest and hands.
What skin boosters do
Skin boosters are small injections of hyaluronic acid, a substance that occurs naturally in the skin and holds moisture. Unlike fillers, they don’t change the shape of your face. Instead, they improve the quality of the skin itself, leaving it more hydrated, smoother and firmer.

Frequently asked questions
What results can I expect from skin boosters?
Skin looks more hydrated and glowing within a few weeks, and texture and fine lines keep improving as the skin responds. Results build over a course of treatments and last for several months.
Do skin boosters have side effects?
