When it comes to achieving radiant, youthful skin, two of the most sought-after treatments at Olivia Maxwell-Jones Cotswolds Aesthetics are skin boosters and dermal fillers. While both offer exceptional results, they serve different purposes and are tailored to meet individual skin goals. If you’re unsure which is right for you, this expert guide will help you make an informed decision.
What Are Skin Boosters?
Skin boosters are injectable treatments designed to deeply hydrate and revitalise the skin. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, they do not add volume. Instead, they improve overall skin quality by:
Enhancing hydration
Increasing skin elasticity
Smoothing fine lines and rough texture
Giving a radiant, dewy glow
The most well-known skin booster is Profhilo, a highly concentrated hyaluronic acid treatment that stimulates collagen and elastin production. It’s ideal for women experiencing the first signs of ageing, or those looking to refresh dull or tired skin.
Best For:
Mild signs of ageing
Dehydrated or crepey skin (characterised by a thin, wrinkled, and crinkled texture, often resembling crepe paper)
A natural, subtle improvement
Face, neck, décolletage, and hands
What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are gel-like substances (usually hyaluronic acid-based) injected to restore lost volume, contour facial features, and smooth deeper wrinkles. They offer immediate, visible results and are commonly used to:
Plump lips
Define cheeks and jawline
Fill nasolabial folds and marionette lines
Rejuvenate under-eye hollows
At our clinic, we use only the best premium-grade fillers tailored to your natural anatomy, ensuring results that are balanced, elegant, and never overdone.
Best For:
Volume loss
Deep lines and folds
Facial contouring
More dramatic rejuvenation

Which Treatment Is Right for You?
If your primary concern is dull, tired, or crepey skin, skin boosters offer a gentle but powerful solution that enhances your skin’s natural glow. They’re perfect for clients seeking a refreshed look without changing facial volume.
However, if you’re looking to redefine contours, address volume loss, or target deeper lines, dermal fillers are likely the more suitable option. In reality, where personal budgets allow many of our clients choose to combine both treatments for a comprehensive, bespoke rejuvenation plan.
