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 |
🔍 Side-by-Side Comparison
| Feature | Anti-Wrinkle Injections | Skin Boosters |
|---|---|---|
| Target | Dynamic wrinkles (muscle movement) | Skin quality, hydration, glow |
| Onset | 3–14 days | Gradual (weeks) |
| Best for | Forehead, crow’s feet, frown lines | Fine lines, dull/dehydrated skin |
