How is a collagen booster different from a skin booster?

Where a skin booster focuses on improving the skin's texture and condition with hydration or regenerative factors, a collagen booster focuses on stimulating collagen production to build the foundation for volume and firmness. Depending on your concern, one may suit you better than the other.

How are Gouri, Sculptra and Radiesse different?

Their main ingredients and mechanisms differ. Gouri and Sculptra are PLLA-based and induce collagen production gradually, while Radiesse uses CaHA to provide immediate volume along with collagen stimulation. Which one suits you is determined through consultation.

Do results show immediately?

It depends on the ingredient. Approaches that induce collagen production tend to show change gradually, and the timing and degree vary from person to person.

How is it different from filler?

Filler fills hollow areas instantly to shape the face, whereas a collagen booster focuses on stimulating the skin's own environment for producing collagen.

Can I have it together with a lifting treatment?

Because they act on different layers, they are often done together. That said, spacing them out is better for recovery and for evaluating results.
