Skin boosters are injectable treatments that improve the quality of your skin itself: hydration, elasticity, firmness and glow. Unlike fillers, they do not change the shape of your face. At 7 Dimensions Medical Center (7DMC) in Dubai, our aesthetic doctors at our Jumeirah (Umm Suqeim 3) and Al Barsha (Arjan) branches offer Profhilo, Rejuran and Salmon DNA, and choose the right one for your skin at a consultation. A session takes about 30 minutes.
A skin booster is a series of small injections that place a hydrating or regenerating product evenly into the skin. Hyaluronic acid boosters such as Profhilo attract and hold water, so skin looks plumper and more radiant. Polynucleotide boosters, such as Rejuran and Salmon DNA, are made from purified DNA fragments and support the skin's own repair, which helps elasticity, fine lines and thin, crepey skin. Because they spread through the skin rather than sitting in one place, the result is fresher, firmer-looking skin, not added volume.
| Booster | What it is | Often chosen for |
|---|---|---|
| Profhilo | A high-concentration hyaluronic acid placed at 5 points on each side of the face, which spreads under the skin | Dehydrated or lax skin, a dull look, early ageing of the face and neck |
| Rejuran | Salmon-derived polynucleotides (PN) that support skin repair | Fine lines, thin or sensitive skin, enlarged pores, acne scarring, under-eyes |
| Salmon DNA | Polynucleotides derived from salmon DNA, often combined with hyaluronic acid | Dull, tired or dehydrated skin, fine lines and uneven texture |
Your doctor may suggest combining a booster with a collagen stimulator, such as Sculptra or Radiesse, when the aim is both firmness and skin quality.

Most people notice more hydrated, fresher-looking skin within 1 to 2 weeks, and firmness and elasticity keep improving over 4 to 8 weeks. A typical course is 2 sessions of Profhilo four weeks apart, or 3 sessions of Rejuran or Salmon DNA three to four weeks apart, followed by maintenance every 4 to 6 months. Results vary from person to person, and your doctor will tell you what to expect for your skin.
As one patient wrote after her Profhilo session, her skin "feels more hydrated and fresh".
Skin boosters are a medical treatment. Common effects are bumps, redness, tenderness and small bruises. Less commonly, small lumps can form, which usually settle. Allergic reactions are rare; people with a fish allergy should avoid salmon-derived products. Infection is rare with proper skin preparation. Your doctor checks your medical history first to lower the risk of side effects.
The cost of skin boosters in Dubai usually ranges from AED 900 to AED 3,000 per session, depending on the product you choose, the area (under-eyes, full face, neck) and the clinic. Typical ranges: Profhilo, per session, AED 1,300 to AED 3,000; Rejuran, per session, AED 1,200 to AED 2,500; Salmon DNA and other polynucleotides, per session, AED 900 to AED 2,500. These are typical market prices across Dubai clinics, not a 7DMC price list. At 7DMC, your exact price is confirmed at your consultation, before any treatment.
A skin booster treatment uses small injections of hyaluronic acid or polynucleotides spread through the skin to improve hydration, elasticity and glow, without changing the shape of the face.
Most people need 2 to 3 sessions about 3 to 4 weeks apart, then a maintenance session every 4 to 6 months. Profhilo is usually 2 sessions; Rejuran and Salmon DNA are often 3.
Many people notice more hydrated skin within 1 to 2 weeks. Firmness and elasticity keep improving over 4 to 8 weeks.
Fillers add volume and shape in a specific place. Profhilo spreads through the skin to hydrate and firm it, so the face looks fresher rather than fuller.
Both are polynucleotide boosters derived from salmon DNA that support skin repair. They differ in formulation and concentration, and your doctor will recommend the one that suits your skin.
Numbing cream is used, and most people feel small pinches. Under-eye treatments can feel more sensitive.
After a full course, results usually last about 6 months, which is why most people book a maintenance session twice a year.
