At MisoDewy, we’re all about glowing smart. With so many injectable treatments out there, it’s easy to feel a little overwhelmed (or to assume they all do the same thing). Today, we’re breaking down two of the most popular skin treatments out there: skin boosters and dermal fillers.
Let’s get into it—simple, honest, and glow-friendly.
What Are Skin Boosters?
Think of skin boosters as a hydration facial... from the inside out. These micro-injections of hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid (HA) or polynucleotides (PNs) are designed to deeply hydrate, plump, and refresh the skin without adding bulk or structure.
Best for:
Dull or dehydrated skin
Fine lines and texture
That lit-from-within glow
Top Picks We Love:
Profhilo
Juvelook
Rejuran (the healer!)
Restylane Skinboosters
Skinvive by Juvederm
What Are Fillers?
Fillers, on the other hand, are all about shape and structure. Using denser formulations (often HA, PLLA, or CaHA), they add volume to areas like the cheeks, jawline, lips, and under-eyes.
Best for:
Restoring volume loss
Enhancing facial contours
Filling deeper lines and folds
Popular Fillers:
Juvederm Voluma (cheeks)
Restylane Kysse (lips)
Sculptra (collagen stimulator)
Radiesse (jawline/hand rejuvenation)

How to Choose?
Ask yourself:
Want glow and hydration? Go for skin boosters.
Want to contour or fill? Go with dermal fillers.
Want both? Many clinics combine the two for that ultimate dewy rejuvenation.
Tip: Always consult a certified practitioner to find what suits your skin goals and facial structure best. There’s no one-glow-fits-all.
Final Thoughts ✨
Skin boosters and fillers both have their unique magic. While one whispers hydration and repair, the other boldly sculpts and defines. At misodewy, we’re here to decode the science and bring clarity to your skincare choices—because glow is a choice, and we choose it daily.
Love, Team Misodewy 💕
