When it comes to achieving radiant, youthful skin, there are more options than ever before. Two treatments that often come up in conversation are skin boosters and dermal fillers. While both are injectable treatments designed to rejuvenate the skin, they serve different purposes — and understanding those differences is key to choosing the right solution for your unique needs.
At Dr Anita Dhunna’s clinics in London, Hertfordshire, and Essex, we are passionate about educating our patients, ensuring they feel confident and empowered when making aesthetic decisions. Let’s explore how skin boosters and dermal fillers work, the concerns they address, and how to determine which might be best suited to you.
What Are Skin Boosters?
Skin boosters are injectable treatments designed to improve the overall quality and hydration of the skin. Rather than adding volume or altering facial contours, skin boosters work on the principle of deep hydration and tissue remodelling.
Typically formulated with hyaluronic acid (a substance naturally found in the skin that holds moisture), skin boosters are injected into the dermis in a series of micro-injections. They help to:
- Improve skin texture and elasticity
- Enhance hydration from within
- Smooth out fine lines
- Restore a healthy, youthful glow
Popular skin booster products, such as Profhilo®, are celebrated for their ability to stimulate collagen and elastin production, promoting firmer, more supple skin over time. At Dr Anita Dhunna’s clinics, we only use premium, FDA-approved products to ensure both safety and efficacy.
Best for:
- Crepey skin texture
- Fine lines
- Overall dullness
- Loss of elasticity
What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers, on the other hand, are primarily used to restore lost volume, contour the face, and enhance specific facial features. Also usually based on hyaluronic acid, these fillers have a thicker consistency compared to skin boosters and are placed deeper into the tissue.
Dermal fillers can:
- Plump up deep lines and wrinkles
- Restore volume to cheeks, temples, and under the eyes
- Define the jawline, chin, and lips
- Create more balanced facial proportions
At Dr Anita Dhunna’s practices, we exclusively use FDA-approved dermal fillers from leading pharmaceutical brands. This ensures not only outstanding results but also the highest levels of patient safety and satisfaction.
Best for:
- Deep folds (such as nasolabial lines)
- Volume loss in the mid-face
- Enhancing facial features
- Sculpting facial contours
Skin Boosters vs Dermal Fillers: Which Should You Choose?
The choice between skin boosters and dermal fillers depends largely on your specific concerns and desired outcome.
- If your main goal is to improve skin quality, hydration, and achieve a fresher, more radiant complexion, skin boosters are likely the ideal option.
- If you are looking to restore volume, correct facial asymmetry, or define facial features, dermal fillers would be more appropriate.
- It’s also important to note that these treatments can complement each other beautifully. Many patients choose to combine both, using skin boosters to enhance skin texture and dermal fillers to address structural concerns — creating a comprehensive, rejuvenated appearance.
