What’s the Difference?
If you’re new to aesthetic treatments, terms like dermal fillers and skin boosters might seem interchangeable — but they serve very different purposes. Both involve injectable hyaluronic acid, and both can rejuvenate the face. But when it comes to volume vs. skin quality, there’s a clear distinction.
At Reliable Medicare, we stock a wide range of genuine dermal fillers and skin boosters for aesthetic professionals across the UK. Here’s what you need to know when choosing between them.
What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments used to add structure, volume, and shape to the face. They’re most commonly made with cross-linked hyaluronic acid, a gel-like substance that stays in place to fill wrinkles or contour areas like:
- Nasolabial Folds
- Cheeks
- Lips
- Jawline
-Temples
Dermal fillers physically lift and support the skin, restoring lost volume caused by ageing or enhancing natural features.
Popular Fillers at Reliable Medicare:
Revolax Deep – Great for deeper lines and cheek structure
Juvederm Ultra Smile – Perfect for lip enhancement
FILLMED Art Filler Universal – Versatile and long-lasting
These are ideal for clients who want visible, instant volume with shape definition.
What Are Skin Boosters?
Skin boosters are injectable treatments designed to improve the quality of the skin, rather than change its shape. They usually contain non-crosslinked hyaluronic acid along with amino acids, antioxidants, or vitamins that hydrate the skin and stimulate collagen.
Skin boosters are injected more superficially across areas like:
- Face
- Neck
- Décolleté
- Hands
-Temples
They help:
- Improve skin texture
- Reduce fine lines
- Boost hydration
- Restore glow
Results are more subtle and build gradually with repeated treatments.
Popular Skin Boosters at Reliable Medicare:
Profhilo H+L – One of the most popular boosters worldwide
FILLMED NCTF 135HA – Rich in nutrients for skin revitalisation
Jalupro HMW – Boosts fibroblast activity and hydration
These are ideal for clients who want a refreshed, natural glow with long-term skin health benefits.
So...Which one should you choose?
Think of it this way...
Many clients actually benefit from both — for example, using a filler in the cheeks, and a skin booster across the face for an all-over glow.
At Reliable Medicare, we supply both dermal fillers and skin boosters from the industry’s most trusted brands. Whether you're a clinic or aesthetic practitioner, we provide fast UK delivery, excellent service, and guaranteed authenticity.
