Many of us want healthier, smoother, and younger-looking skin. Thankfully, with advancements in cosmetic technologies, injectable skin treatments will improve the texture, tone, and hydration of the skin. Two of the most popular injectable skin treatments that work to reduce wrinkles and add volume to the face are Skin Boosters and Dermal Fillers. In this blog post, we will explore the difference between filler and skin boosters, compare the benefits of the two, and determine which treatment is better for improving appearance.
Fillers
Fillers are injectable substances that add volume to the face by filling in deep lines, wrinkles, and creases. They are made of hyaluronic acid (a natural substance found in the body that can hold up to 1,000 times its own weight in water). Hyaluronic acid helps to keep the skin hydrated and plump. Fillers are commonly used to augment the lips, cheeks, and jawline. When injected into the skin, fillers add volume, smooth out wrinkles and fine lines, and enhance facial features like cheekbones and lips. The results are immediate and can last from 6 months to 2 years, depending on the type of filler used and the area of the face treated.
Benefits of Fillers
- Instant results: Fillers provide immediate volume and smoothness to the skin. They are an excellent option for people who want to see a noticeable improvement right away.
- Enhance facial features: Fillers enhance facial features like cheekbones, lips, and jawlines. Giving you a more youthful and attractive appearance.
- Long-lasting: Depending on the type of filler used and the area of the face treated, results of fillers can last from 6 months to 2 years.
Skin Boosters
Skin boosters are different from fillers in that they work by improving the overall health and hydration of the skin. They are injectable gels that consist of hyaluronic acid or other vitamins and nutrients that are necessary for healthy skin. They also improve skin hydration and elasticity. Skin boosters are injected into the dermis, the second layer of skin. They stimulate your body’s own natural collagen production. This results in healthier, plumper, and smoother skin. They are recommended for patients who have dry or dull skin and wish to improve skin texture and tone. Usually they are injected into the skin in small amounts. Results of skin boosters are gradual and can last up to 6 months.
Benefits of Skin Boosters
- Improved skin texture and tone: Skin boosters work by stimulating collagen production, which can improve skin texture, tone, and firmness.
- Gradual improvement: The results of skin boosters are gradual and natural-looking. This makes them a good option for people who want a subtle and more gradual improvement in their appearance.
- Hydration: Skin boosters provide deep hydration to the skin, helping to improve its overall health and appearance.
When deciding between Skin Boosters and Dermal Fillers, it’s important to know that they have their own unique benefits and are designed for different purposes. Fillers are ideal for adding volume and definition to the face. Skin boosters focus on improving the overall health, texture, and hydration of the skin. The best treatment for you will depend on the specific results you are hoping to achieve. We recommend scheduling a consultation with a qualified aesthetician to determine which treatment(s) will be the most beneficial for you. With the right treatment, you can enjoy smoother, younger-looking skin with improved texture, tone, and hydration!
