SkinBoosters in Pointe-Claire & the West Island
SkinBoosters are microinjections of stabilized hyaluronic acid placed into the dermis to hydrate the skin from within. Unlike dermal filler, which adds volume and structure in specific areas, SkinBoosters improve overall skin quality: hydration, smoothness, and a rested, luminous surface.
At GhalMédica in Pointe-Claire, SkinBoosters are performed by Dr. Sonya Ghalehii, MD, Medical Director. They suit patients with dull or dehydrated skin, fine lines driven by dryness, and early loss of skin quality, and are a core component of the GhalMédica InvisiLift protocol.
GhalMédica serves patients from Pointe-Claire, Kirkland, Beaconsfield, Dollard-des-Ormeaux, Dorval, Vaudreuil, and the greater Montreal area. Results vary.
A course typically involves one to three sessions spaced about 4 weeks apart. Hydration develops over the following weeks, with maintenance often around every 6 months. Small bumps or mild bruising can occur for a day or two.
Results vary. A physician consultation is required prior to treatment.
Book a ConsultationWho SkinBoosters Are For
Dull & Dehydrated Skin
By hydrating from within the dermis, SkinBoosters restore a rested, luminous quality that surface products alone cannot reach.
Fine Lines from Dryness
Lines that reflect dehydration and thinning skin quality can soften as the dermis is replenished.
Early Laxity & Skin Quality
Suited to early changes in skin quality, often combined with Morpheus8 in the InvisiLift protocol for structure and surface together.
Smoothness & Radiance
A considered choice for patients seeking improved smoothness and a rested appearance rather than added volume.
The GhalMédica Approach
SkinBoosters are not filler. The aim is not to change shape but to improve the quality of the skin itself, by placing hyaluronic acid at dermal depth where it draws and holds water. Placement, depth, and number of sessions are matched to your skin.
Assessment First
Each plan begins with an assessment of skin quality, hydration, and the concern, so the protocol matches your skin rather than a template.
Dermal-Depth Technique
Hyaluronic acid is placed at the right depth in the dermis through a series of microinjections, distributed across the treatment area.
Physician-Administered
SkinBoosters at GhalMédica are performed by Dr. Sonya Ghalehii, MD, Medical Director, who assesses and treats at each session.
Series & Maintenance
An initial series builds the result, with periodic maintenance to sustain hydration and skin quality over time.
Pre-Treatment Care
7 Days Before
Avoid blood-thinning supplements such as high-dose vitamin E, fish oil, and omega-3 where appropriate. Consult your physician before stopping any prescribed medication.
48 Hours Before
Avoid over-the-counter anti-inflammatories such as aspirin and ibuprofen where medically appropriate. Avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours prior to reduce bruising.
Day of Treatment
Arrive with clean skin and no makeup on the treatment area. Stay well hydrated and eat a light meal beforehand.
Inform Your Practitioner
Disclose any active skin infections, history of cold sores, pregnancy or breastfeeding, and previous injectable treatments.
Pre-treatment instructions follow Canadian dermatology and aesthetic medicine best practices. Your GhalMédica practitioner will provide personalized guidance at consultation.
Post-Treatment Care
First 24 Hours
Small bumps at the injection points are normal and usually settle within a day or two. Avoid makeup where possible and avoid touching or massaging the area unless directed.
First 24 to 48 Hours
Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, steam rooms, and prolonged heat. Apply ice gently if needed for swelling, and avoid alcohol during this period.
Skincare
Use gentle, fragrance-free products for the first day. Reintroduce active skincare gradually as directed by your practitioner.
Ongoing
Apply broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher daily. Hydration and skin quality develop over the following weeks. Attend any recommended follow-up sessions.
Post-treatment instructions follow Canadian dermatology and aesthetic medicine best practices. If you notice unusual swelling or any concerning symptoms, contact GhalMédica promptly.
Frequently Asked Questions About SkinBoosters
What are SkinBoosters?
SkinBoosters are microinjections of stabilized hyaluronic acid placed into the dermis to hydrate and improve skin quality from within. They address hydration, smoothness, and radiance rather than adding volume. Results vary.
How are SkinBoosters different from filler?
Filler adds volume and structure in targeted areas. SkinBoosters use a more fluid hyaluronic acid placed throughout the dermis to improve the quality of the skin itself, with a focus on hydration and a rested surface rather than shape.
When will I see results?
Some hydration is noticeable early, but skin quality continues to improve over the weeks following each session as the hyaluronic acid integrates and draws water into the dermis.
How many sessions will I need?
An initial course is typically one to three sessions spaced about 4 weeks apart, depending on your skin. A plan is recommended at consultation.
How long do results last?
Results often last several months, with maintenance commonly around every 6 months to sustain hydration and skin quality. Duration varies by individual.
Can SkinBoosters be combined with other treatments?
Yes. SkinBoosters are frequently paired with Morpheus8 in the InvisiLift protocol, combining subdermal tightening with dermal hydration. They may also complement other treatments within a plan. Sequencing is decided at consultation.
Is there downtime?
Downtime is minimal. Small bumps at the injection sites usually settle within a day or two, and mild bruising is possible. Most patients return to normal activities quickly.
How much do SkinBoosters cost in Montreal?
The cost depends on the number of sessions in your plan, which is determined at consultation. Pricing is reviewed with you before treatment proceeds.
