Skin Boosters Calgary

Hyaluronic Acid

Skin boosters are a category of hyaluronic acid injectables offered at our Dermapure clinics in Calgary. Unlike traditional fillers that add volume, skin boosters deliver hydrating hyaluronic acid into the deeper layers of the skin to support hydration, elasticity, texture and overall radiance.

Book an Appointment

Skin booster treatment can support dehydrated or dull skin, fine lines linked to changes in skin quality rather than volume loss, and uneven texture on the face, neck, décolleté and hands. The treatment may be received on its own, or paired with complementary in-clinic options such as other injectable treatments, energy-based skin renewal technologies or medical-grade skincare protocols, depending on individual goals and skin condition.

Because every patient’s skin, goals and medical history are different, skin boosters at our Dermapure clinics in Calgary always begin with a personalized consultation with a physician or healthcare professional. Together, you will assess whether skin boosters are the most appropriate option for you and discuss a realistic treatment plan, the expected results and the possible side effects.

Step 1

Personalized Assessment

Skin boosters are administered through micro-injections directly into the skin, ensuring even distribution for optimal hydration and texture enhancement. The procedure takes about 30–60 minutes.

Follow-Up & Maintenance

To maintain optimal skin hydration and quality, follow-up treatments are recommended every 6–9 months. Your provider will customize a maintenance plan based on your skin's response and goals.

Frequently Asked Questions

How are Skin Boosters different from Mesotherapy?

Skin boosters primarily use hyaluronic acid to deeply hydrate and improve skin quality, texture, and elasticity. They focus on providing long-lasting hydration and stimulating collagen production for overall skin rejuvenation. Mesotherapy, on the other hand, involves micro-injections of a custom blend of vitamins, amino acids, and other nutrients to target specific skin concerns like pigmentation, acne, or fine lines. It addresses more targeted issues, while skin boosters are more focused on improving skin hydration and radiance overall. In short, skin boosters are ideal for improving skin hydration and elasticity, while mesotherapy is better suited for treating specific skin conditions.

Dermal Fillers vs Skin Boosters: What's the Difference?

Dermal fillers and skin boosters are injectable treatments used to enhance the appearance of the skin, but with distinct goals.

Dermal Fillers: These treatments are used for wrinkle filling and adding volume to certain areas of the face, such as the cheeks, lips, or deep wrinkles. They primarily target volume restoration to contour the face and reduce the appearance of fine lines.

Skinboosters: These treatments are specifically designed to deeply hydrate and revitalize the skin. Hyaluronic acid is injected into the deeper layers of the skin to improve texture, hydration appearance, and skin radiance. Skin boosters do not fill wrinkles but aim to enhance overall skin quality, making it smoother and more luminous.
