Skin Boosters in Chicago: Growth Factor & Regenerative Treatments
Professional-grade skin boosters delivered with dermatologist precision for deeper hydration, texture refinement and cellular renewal.
Serums and at-home treatments work at the surface. Skin boosters work beneath it.
This category of treatments delivers concentrated regenerative ingredients directly into the dermis — growth factors, polynucleotides, and biological actives — where skin structure is actually built and maintained. The result is improvement that goes beyond surface hydration: genuine changes in texture, tone, elasticity, and skin quality that accumulate with each session.
At Cheung Aesthetics & Wellness, skin boosters are rarely used in isolation. Our team layers them with microneedling, laser resurfacing, and other treatments to open channels into the skin and maximize absorption at the dermal level. It’s an approach grounded in skin biology, and it’s one of the reasons patients see results here that they haven’t achieved anywhere else.
What Skin Boosters Actually Do
The term “skin booster” covers a range of treatments, but they share a common goal: introducing bioactive compounds into the deeper layers of skin to stimulate regeneration from within.
Unlike topical products, which are largely blocked by the skin’s protective barrier, professional skin boosters are delivered in ways that bypass that barrier entirely. Depending on the treatment, delivery happens through microneedling microchannels, laser-created pathways, or direct injection, ensuring that active ingredients reach the fibroblasts, keratinocytes, and structural proteins responsible for how skin looks and behaves.
Results build over a series of sessions and continue developing for weeks after treatment as collagen synthesis, cellular turnover, and tissue remodeling unfold. Patients typically notice improvements in skin texture and smoothness first, followed by increased firmness, more even tone, and a quality of radiance that reflects healthier skin at a structural level — not surface shine.
Who Benefits Most from Skin Boosters
Skin boosters address a wide range of concerns, making them relevant across age groups and skin types. They’re particularly effective for:
- Dull, flat skin that lacks radiance despite a solid skincare routine
- Uneven texture, enlarged pores, or rough surface quality
- Fine lines and early skin laxity
- Hyperpigmentation and uneven tone
- Under-eye hollowing, crepiness, or discoloration
- Post-procedure healing and recovery enhancement
- Anyone seeking ongoing skin health maintenance rather than a one-time treatment
Skin boosters are well tolerated across Fitzpatrick skin types and can be incorporated into treatment plans year-round.

How We Use Skin Boosters at Cheung Aesthetics & Wellness
The difference between a skin booster applied at a spa and one administered here starts with how it’s delivered.
Growth factors, polynucleotides, and similar bioactive compounds are large molecules. Intact skin blocks them. Our team pairs skin boosters with treatments that create controlled access points into the dermis, microneedling at calibrated depths, fractional laser, or other modalities, so the active compounds reach the tissue where they can actually do something. The depth, density, and timing of that delivery are decisions that require dermatologic knowledge of skin anatomy, barrier function, and healing biology.
Skin boosters are also frequently layered with other treatments at Cheung Aesthetics & Wellness. A patient addressing skin laxity, for example, might combine Ultherapy Prime for deep structural lifting with a PDGF booster applied during the same visit to support tissue regeneration as the body responds to the ultrasound energy. A patient focused on under-eye improvement might pair Rejuran with a targeted injectable or laser protocol. The goal is always to build a plan around your skin — not to sell a single treatment.
