What they have in common is that both treatments must be performed by qualified professionals and in a safe clinical environment. It is essential to consult an experienced physician for a complete evaluation and to determine which treatment is best suited to your specific needs.
Beware of differences
There are numerous differences between the two treatments. Following is the list.
Objective of filler and skin booster treatments
- Filler: They mainly aim to restore lost volume and reduce wrinkles and folds, such as naso-labial grooves or perioral wrinkles.
- Skin Booster: Aim to improve the overall quality of the skin by increasing its hydration, radiance and texture.
Composition
- Fillers: These are often hyaluronic acid-based, but can also include other materials such as calcium hydroxyapatite or polylactic acid.
- Skin Booster: These are also generally based on low molecular weight hyaluronic acid or other moisturizing and nourishing ingredients.
Depth of injection
- Fillers: Because they are to provide a “filling” effect and support facial structures they are injected deeper into or under the dermis.
- Skin Booster: Because their purpose is to moisturize and nourish the skin they are injected more superficially.
