Cosmetic Injections
Skinbooster Injections
Skinbooster injections are non-surgical treatments designed to improve skin hydration and overall skin quality.
They work by delivering active ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, or combinations of hyaluronic acid and amino acids, directly into the skin. This helps support hydration, improve skin texture, and stimulate collagen and elastin production.
Skinbooster treatments are commonly used to address:
- dry or dehydrated skin
- fine lines and early signs of ageing
- thinning or crepey skin
- reduced skin elasticity

What it involves
Cleansing
Before treatment, the skin is thoroughly cleansed to prepare the area and reduce the risk of infection. This ensures the treatment area is clean before injections are performed.
Optional Numbing
A topical numbing cream may be applied before treatment to improve comfort. This is optional and will depend on the treatment area, injection technique, and individual patient preference.
Treatment
Injections are superficial and usually administered by needle. Techniques include micro-droplets, fanning, linear threading, and cross-hatching.

Skin Hydration Consultation
Patients considering skin hydration or skin booster injections will first attend a consultation with Dr Michael O’Gorman.
This ensures that treatment is appropriate and aligned with the patient’s skin condition and expectations.
During the consultation, Dr O’Gorman will assess:
Skin quality and hydration levels
Areas of concern, such as fine lines or dark circles
Medical history and lifestyle factors
Suitability for injectable skin treatments
A personalized treatment plan is then developed, which may include Sunekos, Profhilo, or other skin rejuvenation approaches.
Traditional Hyaluronic Acid Skinboosters
Traditional skinboosters use non-crosslinked, free-flowing hyaluronic acid to improve skin hydration and surface skin quality.
The treatment is delivered through superficial injections into the skin, helping to restore hydration, support collagen production, and improve overall skin texture.
These treatments are commonly used to address:
Dry or dehydrated skin
Fine lines
Sun-damaged skin
Early signs of ageing
Peri-oral lines (barcode lines)
They can be used across a range of areas, including the face, neck, decolletage, hands, and other areas where skin quality has declined.
Profhilo Skin Remodeling Treatment
Profhilo is a unique injectable treatment that leads to a softer, firmer, and more contoured skin. It contains the highest amount of hyaluronic acid in any product on the market.
Profhilo treatment hydrates, stimulates new collagen and elastin formation, and improves the health of the fat layer underneath the skin. It achieves this through it’s ability to flow in a 3D multi-directional way in both horizontal and vertical planes. It’s flowability is likened to liquid honey. Studies are showing benefits even at a muscle and bone level.
The name profhilo injections represent it’s composition of high molecular weight and low molecular weight hyaluronic acid complexes designed by two Italian professors. These differing molecular complexes take effect at different receptors in the skin that lead to enhanced health throughout the layers and give a softer, firmer, and more contoured outcome.
Profhilo Can Be Used To Treat
Dry skin
Aged skin
Photo damaged skin
Fine lines
Crepey skin
Sagging skin
Scarred skin
Rosacea
As with any profhilo injectable treatment, bruising is possible but not common. Infection is exceedingly rare and all treatments are carried out with antiseptic techniques. It is recommended to have spacing of at least 2 weeks after any other injectable treatment.
Profhilo Haenkenium cream is recommended for post treatment care and it can indeed be used on an ongoing basis. It has antioxidant properties and also contains both high and low molecular weight hyaluronic acid. This ensures the treatment is taking effect from both the inside and the outside.
Sunekos Treatment
Sunekos is an injectable treatment used to improve skin quality by supporting hydration and the production of collagen and elastin.
It combines amino acids with hyaluronic acid to help restore the natural structure of the skin. Rather than adding volume, the treatment works to improve skin texture and elasticity over time.
Sunekos is often used in patients with:
Fine lines and early signs of ageing
Skin laxity
Dehydrated or tired-looking skin
Under eye dark circles
It is particularly suitable for more delicate areas, where a subtle and natural improvement is preferred.
Sunekos Under Eye Treatment
The under-eye area is one of the most common areas treated with Sunekos.
Skin in this area is thinner and often shows early signs of ageing, including dark circles, fine lines, and changes in texture.
Sunekos may help improve skin quality in this area, leading to a fresher and more rested appearance. As with all treatments, suitability is assessed during consultation with Dr Michael O’Gorman.
Sunekos vs Profhilo
Sunekos and Profhilo are both used to improve skin quality, but they work in slightly different ways.
- Sunekos focuses on supporting skin regeneration using a combination of amino acids and hyaluronic acid.
- Profhilo is based on a high concentration of hyaluronic acid and is primarily used to improve hydration and skin remodeling.
The choice between treatments depends on the individual’s skin concerns and is discussed during consultation.
What to Expect from Treatment
Skin hydration injections can be used in several areas, including:
Face
Under-eye area
Neck
Décolletage
Hands
Treatment choice depends on the area being treated and the specific skin concern. Treatment is performed in the clinic and typically takes 30 – 60 mins..
A series of sessions may be recommended depending on the treatment type and individual response. Results develop gradually as the skin’s hydration and collagen production improve.
These treatments are designed to produce subtle, natural-looking improvements rather than immediate volumisation.
Are These Treatments Suitable for Everyone?
Skin hydration injections may not be suitable for all patients.
Suitability is assessed during consultation with Dr Michael O’Gorman, taking into account individual medical history and skin condition.
These treatments may not be appropriate for:
- individuals with certain medical conditions
- pregnant patients
- those with active skin infections
A personalized assessment helps ensure that treatment is both safe and appropriate.
