Skin Boosters Ottawa

Hyaluronic Acid

Skin boosters are a non-surgical injectable treatment offered at our Dermapure clinics in Ottawa. Several hyaluronic acid–based formulations are available, delivered through small intradermal injections to support the quality, hydration and overall radiance of the skin from within.

Book an Appointment

Skin boosters can help address dehydration, dullness, fine lines, uneven texture and a loss of overall skin quality on the face, neck, décolleté and the back of the hands. The treatment may be received on its own as a maintenance protocol, or paired with complementary in-clinic options such as other injectable treatments, light-based treatments 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 Ottawa always begin with a personalized consultation with a physician or healthcare professional. Together, you will assess whether the treatment is the most appropriate option for you and discuss a realistic treatment plan, the expected results, the recovery and the possible side effects.

What to Expect During Your Session

Step 1

Personalized Assessment

During your consultation, our experts will assess your skin and discuss your goals to develop a tailored treatment plan.

Step 2

Take Pictures

Before your treatment, we will take photographs to document your starting condition. This helps us track your progress and allows you to see your results as they develop.

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.
