Skin Boosters
Most injectables are designed to add volume or relax muscles. Skin boosters work differently. They are designed purely to improve the quality of your skin from within, addressing hydration, texture, and elasticity at the source rather than masking the surface. It is a treatment built for people who want their skin to simply look healthier, not visibly altered. At MD Cosmetic, we offer a range of hyaluronic acid skin boosters, including babyGLOW, to restore hydration and improve skin quality at our Port Moody and Abbotsford clinics.
What Are Skin Boosters?
Skin boosters are a series of small, evenly distributed injections of hyaluronic acid placed just beneath the skin's surface. Unlike dermal fillers, which are designed to add structural volume, skin boosters are formulated to hydrate and improve the overall quality of the skin itself. Products like babyGLOW and Redensity 1 are commonly used for this purpose, though the right option depends on your skin's specific needs and is something our team will determine during your consultation.
What to Expect
Treatment involves a series of small injections placed across the treatment area, usually the face, neck, or hands. The sensation is mild, and most patients return to their day immediately afterward. Optimal results typically require a short series of treatments spaced several weeks apart, with hydration and texture improvements building progressively over that time.
How Skin Boosters Work
Hyaluronic acid naturally attracts and holds onto water, which is part of why it plays such a central role in skin hydration. When injected just beneath the skin's surface in small, evenly spaced amounts, it draws moisture into the surrounding tissue and supports the skin's natural structure from within. Research shows that this type of treatment can significantly improve skin firmness, elasticity, and hydration over a series of sessions, with benefits that continue to build over several months.
What it Helps With
- Skin Texture: Smooth rough or uneven texture by restoring hydration deep within the skin's layers.
- Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Soften fine lines, particularly around the eyes and mouth, by replenishing moisture the skin gradually loses with age.
- Skin Laxity: Improve firmness and elasticity so skin looks more supported and resilient over time.
