Anti-Wrinkle Injections vs Skin Boosters: Which One Do You Really Need?

Anti-Wrinkle Injections vs Skin Boosters: Which One Do You Really Need?

You’ve seen both trending in your feed — Botox shots smoothing those squint lines, and skin boosters promising “glass skin from within.” But which one is actually right for you, doll? 💕 In this post, we’ll break down what each treatment really does, who benefits most, and (spoiler) when combining them is the real glow-up move. ✨

💉 What Are Anti-Wrinkle Injections?

Anti-wrinkle injections are neuromodulators that relax overactive facial muscles. When these muscles soften, expression lines like forehead creases and crow’s feet reduce dramatically.

✨ What They Treat Best:

  • Forehead lines
  • Frown lines (glabella)
  • Crow’s feet
  • Neck bands (in some cases)

🕒 How Long Do They Last?

Effects appear within 3–14 days and last around 3–6 months. To maintain results, repeat treatments are needed.

Pros Cons
Very effective on dynamic lines Doesn’t improve texture or hydration
Fast treatment, proven safety Results require regular upkeep

💧 What Are Skin Boosters?

Skin boosters are micro-droplet hyaluronic acid injections designed to improve hydration, glow, and elasticity from within — not paralyse muscles. Think of them as a “deep moisturiser” delivered straight into your dermis.

✨ What They Treat Best:

  • Fine lines
  • Dull / dehydrated skin
  • Uneven texture
  • Neck, décolletage, and hands

🕒 How Long Do They Last?

Usually performed in a course of 2+ sessions. Glow builds gradually over weeks, lasting about 3–6 months.

Pros Cons
Boosts glow, hydration, smoothness Subtle results, not dramatic wrinkle erasing
Minimal downtime, natural look Multiple sessions may be needed
