💧 Skin Boosters vs Dermal Fillers – What’s the Difference?

If you’ve been researching ways to refresh your skin, you’ve probably come across skin boosters and dermal fillers — two powerful injectable treatments that can completely transform your complexion.
At Tres Beaux Aesthetics in Birmingham, we offer both options, carefully tailored to your needs. But while they might sound similar, they work in very different ways.

Let’s break down how each treatment works and help you decide which might be right for you.

💎 What Are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers contain hyaluronic acid (HA) — a naturally occurring substance in the body that gives the skin structure, hydration, and volume.
When injected precisely, fillers can:

• Restore lost volume in the cheeks and temples

• Smooth deep lines and folds

• Enhance lips, jawline, and chin definition

Think of fillers as your sculpting tool — they add structure, shape, and contour to enhance your natural features instantly.

🌸 What Are Skin Boosters?

Skin boosters (such as Profhilo or polynucleotides) are designed to improve skin quality, not change facial shape.
Rather than adding volume, they deeply hydrate the skin and trigger collagen and elastin production, improving firmness, glow, and elasticity.

They’re perfect for clients who feel their skin looks tired, crepey, or dull — especially on the face, neck, and hands.

💧 Skin boosters work like an injectable moisturiser, giving your skin that “glass-skin” luminosity that topical skincare simply can’t achieve.

Many clients at Tres Beaux Aesthetics combine the two — using fillers for structure and skin boosters for radiance — for an overall refreshed and youthful result.
