If you’re looking into injectable treatments, you’ve probably come across both skin boosters and fillers. They’re both injected into the skin, both often contain hyaluronic acid (HA), and both promise better skin… so what’s the difference?

At Cell Lab Beauty Clinic, we get this question all the time—and the answer matters if you want the right treatment for your skin goals.

💧 What Are Skin Boosters?

Skin boosters are hydrating injections designed to improve your skin quality—not change your facial structure.

They work by delivering hyaluronic acid or PCL (polycaprolactone) directly into the skin to:

Deeply hydrate and plump
Improve elasticity and smoothness
Minimize fine lines and texture
Restore glow and bounce

✨ Think of it as an injectable moisturizer that works from the inside out.

🧴 Best for: dull, dry, dehydrated, or aging skin needing overall radiance.

💉 What Are Dermal Fillers?

Fillers, on the other hand, are used to add volume or shape to the face. While many are also made with hyaluronic acid, they are thicker and placed deeper to sculpt and enhance. They’re used to:

Contour the nose, chin, or jawline
Add volume to cheeks or lips
Smooth out deep folds and wrinkles
Restore facial structure lost from aging

✨ Think of fillers as sculpting tools, while skin boosters are skin nourishers.

🪞Best for: volume loss, contouring, or clients wanting sharper features.

If your goal is better skin quality, go for a skin booster.If your goal is sharper features or volume, you’ll need a filler.
