Skin Boosters are micro-injections composed of dermal fillers injected into the skin.
Unlike traditional dermal fillers, they are not injected beneath the skin to volumise or shape the face. Instead, they are very fine dermal fillers that hydrate and improve skin quality. So, for those who aim for a dewy, glowing look, this treatment is perfect for you!
Skin boosters are generally used on the face but can also be applied on your lips, neck, and the back of your hands. Skin boosters are known for their hydrating and rejuvenating effects, making them a popular treatment for those seeking a natural, youthful appearance. Envy Aesthetics offers the best skin booster injections, with excellent results for acne scars and other skin issues.
Navigating the world of skin treatments can be confusing, especially when you come across two procedures – like skin boosters and dermal fillers – that sound similar, but have different factors. Either would then be recommended by the injector pending the results desired and the indicated area.
Skin boosters are still classified as dermal filler as it consists of hyaluronic acid (a sugar complex chain molecule that is in your natural fat ad tissue in your face), a hydrating procedure that injects hyaluronic acid into your skin to improve the overall appearance and promote healing. Skin boosters also include vitamins and antioxidants which stimulate your collagen production, hence results will last approx 1 year (same as a thick dermal filler). In addition, Hyaluronic Acid is more hydrophilic and will attract more H2o than normal tissue immediately, ensuring the treated area will remain more hydrated and age less than non-treated areas,
Dermal fillers, on the other hand, add specific and intended volume to aid in visual deficits, prevent ageing, contour and manipulate natural features. Dermal filler is still hyaluronic acid and will hydrate tissue being more hydrophilic than natural tissue.
Both treatments aim to improve your complexion without surgery, but they work in two different ways.
Skin boosters focus on hydration and collagen stimulation while dermal fillers target volume loss due to ageing or injury or desired facial features.
Knowing which treatment is right for you can be tricky, so if you’re considering either option, it’s advisable to book a consultation with one of our qualified aestheticians, who can discuss the differences between skin boosters and dermal fillers in more detail.
