Skin Booster vs. Filler: Which Is Right for Your Skin Concern?

When it comes to non-surgical facial rejuvenation, two treatments often come up: skin boosters and dermal fillers. While both aim to enhance your skin's appearance, they work in different ways and target different concerns. Let’s explore the differences and help you decide which one fits your skincare needs.

What is a Skin booster?

Skin boosters are injectable treatments made of hyaluronic acid that deeply hydrate the skin from within. Unlike fillers, they don't add volume but instead improve overall skin texture, elasticity, and glow. They’re perfect for treating dullness, dryness, and early signs of aging.

What is a Filler?

Dermal fillers are also made from hyaluronic acid, but their main role is to restore lost volume, contour the face, and smooth deep wrinkles. Fillers are ideal for treating nasolabial folds, cheeks, lips, and under-eye hollows.

Key Differences

• Function: Skin boosters hydrate; fillers add volume.
• Treatment Area: Skin boosters work well on the face, neck, and hands; fillers are used for facial volume and shape.
• Longevity: Fillers tend to last longer (6–18 months), while skin boosters need maintenance every 3–6 months.

Which One Should You Choose?

If your skin looks tired, dehydrated, or lacks radiance, skin boosters may be your go-to. If you’re concerned about volume loss, deeper lines, or want more sculpted features, dermal fillers are the better option. In some cases, combining both can offer the most natural and refreshed results.
