Skin Boosters
Skin boosters (such as Skinvive® and Baby Glow by Clarion) are injectable hydration treatments that work beneath the surface to improve skin quality, smoothness, and luminosity from within. At Lougheed Laser Centre in Burnaby, treatments are performed by our medical team and tailored to your skin's specific needs.
What Are Skin Boosters?
Skin boosters are a category of injectable treatment designed to hydrate and improve skin quality at a deeper level than topical skincare can reach. Unlike traditional fillers that add structural volume, skin boosters use a lightweight formulation of hyaluronic acid that integrates into the skin tissue, attracting and retaining moisture from within. The result is improved skin texture, elasticity, and a natural radiance that reflects genuinely healthier skin rather than surface-level coverage.
Skin boosters are suitable for the face, neck, décolletage, and hands, and work well as a standalone treatment or as part of a broader skin health plan.
What It Helps With
- Skin Hydration: Restores deep moisture to skin that feels dry, tight, or dull regardless of topical routine
- Skin Texture: Smooths rough or uneven texture for a softer, more refined surface
- Fine Lines: Softens fine lines caused by dehydration and loss of skin elasticity
- Dull Complexion: Improves radiance and luminosity in skin that has lost its natural glow
- Neck and Décolletage: Improves skin quality in areas beyond the face that are often overlooked

Frequently Asked Questions
Dermal fillers are designed to add volume and structure to specific areas of the face. Skin boosters use a much lighter formulation that spreads evenly through the tissue to improve overall hydration and skin quality rather than targeting a defined area of volume loss. The two treatments serve different purposes and can be used alongside each other.
Yes. Skin boosters are well-suited to a wide range of skin types and tones, including dry, dehydrated, or dull skin. They are also a good option for patients who want to improve overall skin health rather than address a specific structural concern.
A topical anesthetic may be applied before treatment to minimise discomfort. But generally, most patients find the procedure well-tolerated.
For the first 24 hours following treatment, we recommend avoiding intense exercise, heat exposure such as saunas or hot showers, and applying makeup to the treated area. Sun protection is important in the days following any injectable treatment.
