Skin Boosters Quebec

Hyaluronic Acid

Skin boosters are an injectable treatment offered at our Dermapure clinics in Quebec City that delivers hyaluronic acid, a substance the body naturally contains to bind water, into the deeper layers of the skin. Rather than adding volume, the treatment works on the quality of the skin, providing deep, lasting hydration and supporting collagen and elastin.

Book an Appointment

Skin boosters are most often considered by patients who would like to improve hydration, elasticity, texture and radiance for fresher, suppler-looking skin. They can be used on the face and other areas. They can also be planned alongside other injectable treatments within a broader treatment plan.

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

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.
