Skin Boosters

Youthful, healthy-looking skin is the ultimate Holy Grail. We’re all chasing that envious glow and firmness our skin had in our younger years. However, as we age, our skin’s texture changes, often appearing duller and more tired than before. That’s owed to the natural decline in collagen production, a crucial protein in our skin’s structure. What if there was a way to turn back the clock, enhance skin texture, and reclaim your dewy, lit-from-within skin? Skin boosters might just be your secret weapon.

Skin Boosters in Ottawa

Skin Boosters are advanced injectable treatments offered at GlowUp MediSpa, designed to deeply hydrate and rejuvenate the skin from within. Unlike traditional fillers that add volume, skin boosters deliver hyaluronic acid and other nourishing ingredients into the superficial layers of the skin to improve hydration, texture, smoothness, and radiance.

Skin boosters help restore moisture, reduce fine lines, and enhance overall skin quality for a refreshed, glowing complexion — ideal for the face, neck, décolletage, and hands.

What are Skin booster Injections?

Achieve true radiance–and no one has to know how. Skin boosters are a type of dermal filler formulated to improve skin hydration, firmness, and luminosity.

To achieve these desirable results, your GlowUp Medispa expert injects a fragile amount of hyaluronic acid filler into the skin. The product then naturally integrates into the skin, delivering dewy, radiant results. The treatment works for areas such as the face, upper neck, and even the back of the hands.

So, what distinguishes skin boosters and traditional dermal fillers? Although both dermal fillers and skin boosters are formulated with hyaluronic acid (HA), that’s about where the similarities end. Dermal fillers are better suited for patients who want to sculpt their face, restore lost volume, add structure, or plump their pouts.

Skin boosters, on the other hand, contain smaller amounts of HA and are injected directly into or below the surface of the skin. Skin boosters aren’t just for aging skin, either.

Who Is an Ideal Skin Boosters Candidate?

An ideal candidate for Skin Boosters is someone looking to improve their skin’s hydration, texture, and overall radiance without adding volume. Suitable candidates typically:

Have dry, dull, or dehydrated skin
Want to reduce fine lines and improve skin elasticity
Are looking for subtle, natural rejuvenation rather than dramatic changes
Desire smoother, plumper, and more radiant skin
Have realistic expectations and are committed to a maintenance plan for optimal results

A consultation with a qualified practitioner is recommended to determine if Skin Boosters are the right option based on your skin type, concerns, and aesthetic goals.

How Do I Prepare for a Skin Boosters Treatment?

Proper preparation can help ensure a safe and effective Skin Boosters treatment. Key steps include:

Avoid Blood Thinners: Refrain from taking aspirin, ibuprofen, or certain supplements like fish oil or vitamin E for 24–48 hours before your appointment, as they may increase bruising or swelling. Consult your doctor before stopping any prescribed medications.
Skip Alcohol: Avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours prior to treatment to reduce the risk of swelling and bruising.
Clean Skin: Arrive with a clean face, free from makeup or skincare products.
Inform Your Practitioner: Share your medical history, allergies, and any medications you are taking. Mention any previous cosmetic treatments in the area to be treated.
Plan Your Schedule: Mild swelling, redness, or tenderness may occur after treatment, so schedule your appointment when you have flexibility in your routine.

Following these steps helps ensure a smooth procedure and optimal results from your Skin Boosters treatment.

What Takes Place During a Skin Boosters Treatment?

A Skin Boosters treatment is a minimally invasive procedure designed to hydrate, smooth, and rejuvenate the skin. Here’s what typically happens:

Consultation:
The practitioner evaluates your skin, discusses your goals, and determines the optimal treatment areas and injection technique.
Preparation:
The skin is cleansed thoroughly, and a topical numbing cream may be applied to minimize discomfort during the procedure.
Injection Process:
Fine micro-injections of hyaluronic acid and other nourishing ingredients are delivered into the superficial layers of the skin to boost hydration, elasticity, and radiance.
Post-Treatment Care:
Mild redness, swelling, or tiny bruises may occur but usually resolve within a few days. Patients can typically resume normal activities immediately.
Results:
Skin appears smoother, plumper, and more radiant, with improvements continuing over several weeks as the skin absorbs the nutrients and hydration.

Skin Boosters provide subtle, natural rejuvenation, making them ideal for enhancing overall skin quality without adding volume.

Before, during, and after the treatment

Considering minimally invasive, anti-aging skin treatments? Book an in-person consultation. At your appointment, a Glowup Medispa expert will walk you through the process of a Skinboosters treatment. They will then decide whether this is the right option for you based on your aspirations. Overall, you’ll find the skin boosters procedure to be quite straightforward. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, which involve adding volume or reshaping facial structure, skin boosters are all about achieving radiant skin. Your Glowup Medispa expert will inject the product using small, gentle jabs, dispersing the product just below the surface of the skin. The whole process should take, on average, approximately thirty minutes to an hour, at most.

Some minor swelling or bruising is completely normal right after treatment. Complete results may take a few days, up to even a few weeks, to appear. Most patients say they really begin to notice bright, renewed skin and overall improvement in skin firmness in the first few days after treatment. Beyond that, other results include:

A renewed, refreshed complexion
Minimized appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
Improved skin elasticity and firmed texture
