Whilst both treatments contain hyaluronic acid (HA) as the main ingredient, they are not interchangeable when it comes to offering skin ageing treatments, as they behave in a different way and give different results.
The molecules in skin boosters are not cross-linked so they are usually much thinner in consistency and have a greater spread than fillers. Generally, skin boosters can soften fine lines, hydrate and improve the texture and condition of the skin.
On the other hand, dermal fillers are generally used if volumisation, contouring, or augmentation is required in specific areas of the face, such as the cheekline, chin, or lips.
