Skin Boosters in Southampton, Ontario

Skin boosters are injectable treatments that use a soft hyaluronic-acid gel to support skin hydration and improve the appearance of skin quality.

We offer a variety of skin boosters and most often use SkinVive by Allergan. Restylane Skinboosters, including Restylane Vital and Restylane Vital Light, are also available.

Hyaluronic acid is a molecule found naturally in the body that attracts and binds water. With age, sun exposure, environmental stress, illness, lifestyle factors, and natural changes in the skin, hydration and elasticity can decline. A hyaluronic acid skin booster may be considered to support a more hydrated, smooth, and refreshed-looking appearance.

Skin boosters are medical injectable treatments. A consultation is required to assess suitability, treatment area, product selection, and realistic expectations.

Traditional hyaluronic-acid fillers are commonly used to add volume, contour a structure, or support selected areas such as the cheeks, chin, jawline, and folds. Skin boosters use a softer product and a microinjection approach intended primarily for hydration and skin-quality goals.

A skin booster may be suitable when the goal is a subtle improvement in texture, fine lines, dryness, or luminosity rather than defined volume. It cannot replace a traditional filler when structural support or volume restoration is needed.

HArmonyCA combines a biostimulator with a skin booster in one combination treatment. Ask our team whether it suits your concern.

Skin booster treatment may be considered for selected concerns, including:

• Dry, dehydrated, or dull-looking skin.
• Fine lines and early texture changes.
• Skin that appears rough, crepey, or less luminous.
• Visible pores and uneven-looking texture.
• Selected superficial acne-scar concerns.
• Early age-related changes in skin quality.
• Skin-quality concerns on the face, neck, décolletage, chest, or hands.
• Selected under-eye or eye-area concerns, only after careful assessment.

Results vary. Skin boosters cannot guarantee removal of wrinkles, scars, pores, dark circles, or under-eye hollows. For significant volume loss, deep scars, pronounced pigmentation, active acne, or marked skin laxity, another treatment may be more appropriate.

Face

Skin booster for face treatment may be considered for overall hydration, texture, fine lines, and radiance. Your provider may recommend treating the whole face or focus on areas such as the cheeks or forehead, depending on your goals and budget.

Neck and Décolletage

The neck and chest can develop dryness, fine lines, crepey texture, and sun-related changes. Skin booster microinjections may be considered for selected clients seeking hydration-focused skin-quality support in these areas.

Hands

Hands often show age through dryness, thin-looking skin, fine lines, and texture changes. A skin booster for hands may be discussed where hydration and surface-quality goals are the priority. Traditional filler may be more appropriate when volume loss is the main concern.

Under-Eye and Eye Area

Skin booster for under-eye, eye-area, tear-trough, dark-circle, or under-eye-wrinkle concerns requires particular caution. The under-eye region is anatomically complex and not every concern is suitable for injectable treatment. Your provider will assess whether a skin booster, another treatment, referral, or no injectable treatment is the safest choice.

Your appointment begins with a consultation, skin assessment, and review of your medical history and treatment goals.

The treatment area is cleaned, and topical numbing may be used if appropriate. A small amount of product is injected into specific areas. Product amount, injection technique, and overall treatment are customized to your needs.

Skin booster results are intended to be subtle and gradual.

Some clients notice a fresher or more hydrated-looking appearance after the initial treatment, while skin-quality changes may develop over the weeks following treatment.

The exact number of treatments and maintenance schedule depend on the product used, treatment area, skin condition, lifestyle, and individual response.

There may be some downtime because the procedure involves multiple small injections. Temporary redness, swelling, bruising, tenderness, pin-prick marks, and small bumps can occur. These usually settle, but recovery varies by person and treatment area.

Follow your provider’s aftercare instructions. You may be advised to avoid pressure on the treated area, significant heat exposure, sauna use, strenuous exercise, swimming, alcohol, makeup, and certain skincare products for a specified period.

Avoid alcohol, NSAIDs, blood-thinning supplements, swimming, strenuous exercise, and sauna exposure around treatment. Do not stop prescribed medication without first speaking with the clinician who prescribed it.

Contact the clinic promptly if you experience increasing pain, blanching or unusual skin colour changes, severe swelling, fever, pus-like discharge, visual symptoms, or another concern. Rare vascular complications can occur with injectable hyaluronic-acid products and need urgent assessment.

Skin booster injections are medical procedures and carry possible risks. Common temporary effects can include swelling, bruising, redness, tenderness, itching, small bumps, and discomfort at injection sites.

Less common but important risks include infection, allergic reaction, delayed inflammation, persistent lumps, asymmetry, skin injury, and rare vascular occlusion. Vascular occlusion is uncommon but serious and requires urgent assessment.

Skin booster treatment may not be appropriate for everyone. Pregnancy, breastfeeding, active infection, allergy to product components, certain autoimmune or inflammatory conditions, previous filler complications, bleeding concerns, anticoagulant use, and medical conditions affecting healing should be reviewed during consultation.

Skin Booster vs Profhilo

Skin boosters and Profhilo are both associated with hyaluronic-acid skin-quality goals, but the products, injection patterns, product properties, and intended treatment plans differ. Your provider will recommend an option based on the concerns being addressed and products currently offered at Allure.

Skin Booster vs Sculptra or Radiesse

Skin boosters generally focus on hydration and surface skin quality. Sculptra and Radiesse are biostimulators that may be selected for broader collagen-support, structural, or volume-related goals. They are not interchangeable.

Skin Booster vs PRP

Skin boosters are made with hyaluronic acid. PRP is a concentrated portion of your own blood. Both may be considered for selected skin-quality goals but differ in preparation, technique, evidence, costs, risks, and expected response.

Skin Booster vs Microneedling

Skin boosters are injectable treatments. Microneedling creates controlled microchannels in the skin. A provider can discuss whether one option or a carefully planned combination is appropriate for your texture, scar, or hydration goals.

Skin booster cost depends on the product selected, amount of product, treatment area, technique, session plan, and whether face, neck, hands, or another area is treated.
