Wrinkles, dull skin, dehydration, loss of radiance… Over time, the skin changes and the face can appear more tired despite a good skincare routine.
Two treatments stand out today for restoring a fresh, luminous, and natural face: Skinbooster and Botox.

Often placed in the same category, they do not have the same action at all, nor the same objectives.
In this article, ANAGEN experts clearly explain their differences and help you choose the treatment that best suits your needs.

1. What is Skinbooster?

The Skinbooster is a deep medical hydration treatment based on very fluid hyaluronic acid.

How does Skinbooster work?

Injected in micro-droplets into the dermis, it:

• rehydrates the skin deeply,

• improves elasticity,

• smooths fine lines,

• provides a natural “glowy” effect,

• enhances overall texture.

For what needs?

• Dull or dehydrated skin

• Loss of radiance

• Signs of fatigue

• Dehydration fine lines

• Uneven complexion

• Beginning sagging

Result

A visible radiance, bouncy, hydrated, and luminous skin — without altering the volumes of the face.
This is one of the favorite treatments of patients who want a 100% natural result.

2. What is Botox?

The Botox (botulinum toxin) does not act on the hydration of the skin, but on the muscles responsible for expression lines.

How does Botox work?

It temporarily relaxes certain muscles to:

• smooth forehead wrinkles,

• soften frown lines,

• soften crow's feet,

• give a rested and relaxed appearance.

For what needs?

• Marked expression lines

• Tensed or “fatigued” forehead

• Closed or tense gaze

• Anti-aging prevention from 25–30 years

Result

A more relaxed, softer face, without erasing natural expressions.
The gaze opens, the forehead softens, the face looks rested.

3. Skinbooster or Botox: what’s the difference?

Both treatments have a common goal: to make the face brighter and younger, but they do not address the same causes.

Skinbooster acts on:

• deep hydration,

• skin quality,

• radiance,

• fine lines,

• texture.

Botox acts on:

• expression lines,

• muscle contractions responsible for aging,

• dynamic wrinkles of the forehead, eyes, and gaze.

👉 In summary:

• Your skin lacks radiance or hydration? → Skinbooster

• Are your wrinkles due to expressions? → Botox

• Do you want a global anti-aging effect? → Combination of Skinbooster + Botox

4. Combining Skinbooster + Botox: the secret to premium natural radiance

At ANAGEN, we prioritize a holistic approach to the face.
The combination of the two treatments is often the most effective for a natural, harmonious, and long-lasting result.

The combination allows:

• A smooth and hydrated skin (skinbooster)

• A rested forehead and open eyes (botox)

• A globally younger-looking face without visible transformation

This is one of the most popular protocols among patients seeking discreet but spectacular rejuvenation.

5. Results and duration

• Skinbooster: visible radiance in 2–3 weeks, lasting 4 to 6 months.

• Botox: visible result in a few days, lasting 4 to 6 months.

• Combo: harmonious and long-lasting effect with 2 sessions per year.

Is it painful?
→ Slightly uncomfortable, but a numbing cream can be used.
