More and more people in Nelson and Tasman are turning to skin boosters to refresh, hydrate, and support their skin naturally. These treatments are becoming a trusted way to support skin health, hydration, and natural glow without surgery or dramatic changes.
At Luminous Skin, we’re proud to offer two of the most advanced options: Profhilo® and Profhilo® Structura, available in Nelson, Richmond, Motueka, and Blenheim.
But what exactly are skin boosters — and how do you know which one is right for you?
What Are Skin Boosters?
Skin boosters are injectable treatments made from hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in your skin that helps maintain moisture, softness, and elasticity.
Unlike dermal fillers, which add volume, or wrinkle relaxers, which target facial muscles, skin boosters work differently. They are placed just under the skin where they gradually improve hydration, stimulate collagen and elastin production, and enhance the overall quality of your skin.
Many of our clients across Nelson and Tasman choose skin boosters because they:
Help restore hydration in skin that feels dry or tired
Improve smoothness, elasticity, and firmness
Provide natural-looking results over time
Work with your skin rather than changing your features
Profhilo®: The Original Skin Booster
Profhilo® is often called a skin booster, but technically it is a bio-remodelling treatment.
How it works: Contains one of the highest concentrations of pure hyaluronic acid, spreading evenly to hydrate and remodel skin.
Treatment areas: Face, neck, décolletage, and hands.
Why clients choose it:
Deep hydration and glow
Smoother texture and fine-line support
Quick treatment with minimal downtime
Enhances skin quality without altering appearance
Profhilo® Structura: Advanced Support
Building on the benefits of Profhilo®, Profhilo® Structura is designed to address volume loss and skin structure changes that naturally occur with age.
How it works: Targets the superficial fat pads beneath the skin that provide youthful shape and support.
Treatment focus: Cheeks, jawline, temples, and areas where thinning or sagging appears.
Why clients choose it:
Supports thinning skin
Restores firmness without heaviness
Stimulates collagen, elastin, and fat cell regeneration
Subtle, natural lift while keeping your features uniquely yours
Everyday Analogy: Hydration vs Structure
Think of your skin like a balloon:
Profhilo® helps smooth and hydrate, like refreshing the outer layer.
Profhilo® Structura goes deeper, supporting the structure so it feels fuller and firmer.
By targeting the deeper layers where volume is lost, Structura gently lifts and strengthens your skin’s foundation, especially in areas like the cheeks, temples, and jawline.
Choosing the Right Skin Booster
Both treatments offer beautifully natural results, but here’s a quick way to decide:
Profhilo® may suit you if your main concerns are dryness, fine lines, or maintaining skin quality.
Profhilo® Structura may be better if you’ve noticed early signs of sagging, thinning skin, or volume loss.

Why Nelson & Tasman Clients Choose Skin Boosters
Living in the Nelson Tasman region often means enjoying the outdoors — from sunny weekends at Rabbit Island to hikes in the Richmond Ranges or kayaking in the Abel Tasman. While this lifestyle is one of our biggest joys, it can leave skin feeling dry, sun-exposed, or in need of extra hydration.
Skin boosters like Profhilo® and Profhilo® Structura help restore balance, supporting skin that’s been exposed to the elements while enhancing its natural resilience and glow.
