Treatment Overview
Hyaluronic Skin Booster Fillers are a specialized type of dermal filler that focus on hydration, elasticity, and skin glow rather than facial contouring or deep wrinkle correction. These fillers are made from lightweight, cross-linked hyaluronic acid (HA)—a natural molecule in the skin that binds water—delivered through microinjections across the face.
Unlike structural fillers, Hyaluronic Skin Booster Fillers distribute evenly under the skin, working as an internal moisturizer that improves skin texture, radiance, and firmness. In Korea, they are widely used under Dermatology: Skin Rejuvenation to achieve the coveted “glass skin” look, often combined with boosters like peptides, antioxidants, or PDRN for enhanced results.
Purpose & Benefits
- Deep Hydration: Restores moisture at the dermal level for supple, plump skin.
- Elasticity Boost: Improves firmness by stimulating collagen and elastin activity.
- Fine Line Softening: Smooths delicate wrinkles caused by dryness.
- Radiant Glow: Achieves the luminous Korean “glass skin” effect.
- Pore Refinement: Minimizes enlarged pores and uneven texture.
- Skin Repair: Supports regeneration after sun damage or aging.
Ideal Candidates
- Adults with dry, dehydrated, or dull skin.
- Individuals noticing early fine lines or reduced elasticity.
