Skinbooster: what it is and how it differs from filler
Skinbooster is the name given to superficial injections of products aimed at skin quality, not volume. Most of the time it is hyaluronic acid with low or no crosslinking, in a fluid gel, sometimes combined with other substances, distributed in many small deposits in the dermis.
The aim is to improve hydration, texture, radiance and the look of fine lines. That is why the expected result is discreet and diffuse: skin that looks better, with no change in contour.
What is the difference from filler?
| Skinbooster | Filler | |
|---|---|---|
| Goal | Skin quality | Volume, contour, support |
| Product | Fluid gel, lightly crosslinked | Firmer, crosslinked gel |
| Distribution | Many superficial deposits | Deposits in defined areas |
| Effect | Diffuse, gradual | Localized, visible |
It is also different from the collagen biostimulator, which aims to stimulate collagen production over months. In some plans, these approaches are combined, at the discretion of the qualified professional.
Which precautions to consider?
The number of sessions and the interval vary with the product and the indication. Because there are many punctures, swelling, transient papules and small bruises are common in the first days. A medical history that considers recurrent herpes and active skin diseases helps avoid complications.
In Harmy
Harmy's projection works with volume per area and does not simulate texture or radiance: the instruction to the AI forbids skin retouching. A skinbooster, therefore, is not something the simulation represents.
Also called: skin booster, injectable hydration.
Frequently asked questions
Does a skinbooster add volume?
That is not its goal. A skinbooster is designed for hydration and skin quality, with a fluid product spread superficially. To restore volume or give contour, filler is usually the indication.
