If you’ve recently been considering facial enhancements to address ageing skin, you may have come across two of the most popular Cosmetic Injectables in Singapore: HA Skin booster and Dermal Fillers.
While both are effective anti-ageing treatments, these cosmetic injections work differently to rejuvenate your skin. Let's breaks down the differences and benefits of each cosmetic injection to help identify which one is right for you or if you need both:
WHAT ARE HA SKIN REJUVENATION INJECTIONS SINGAPORE (逆時針)?
HA skin rejuvenation is a brand of cosmetic injectables that produces solutions indicated for overall skin repair. It is manufactured in Switzerland by IBSA Group.
The composition of HA 5-point BAP anti ageing injectable is based on pure thermally cross-linked hyaluronic acid (HA). More precisely, it combines both high-molecular-weight HA and low-molecular-weight HA. The technology that is employed by HA skin rejuvenation to create a hyaluronic acid-based solution is called NAHYCO. It ensures high safety, effectiveness, and long-lasting duration of the product.
HA 5-point BAP anti ageing injectable belongs to skin boosters that effectively treat sagging, dehydrated, and dull skin. Among the main areas that might be treated by HA skin booster are the face, neck, decolletage, arms, and hands.
According to its treatment course, HA 5-point BAP anti ageing injectable should be injected beneath a patient’s skin during the two procedures with a four-week interval between them. The complete HA 5-point anti ageing injectable treatment usually provides a patient with a six-months result that might be prolonged by multiple injections from time to time.
Due to the high concentration of hyaluronic acid, HA 5-point anti ageing injectable disperses quickly underneath the skin’s surface and instantly reacts with your own tissue to boost hydration. The most common area people choose to have the Nahyco Hybrid Technology 5-point BAP HA Skin is the face. However, you can also use the treatment on your arms, hands, neck, knees, and chest.

|---|---|
| Treatment Duration | 15 minutes |
| Recommended Sessions | 2-3 sessions |
| Recommended Interval | 2-3 sessions 1 month apart, then 6-monthly maintenance thereafter |
| Recovery Time | Minimal |
HA SKIN BOOSTER (逆时针) VS DERMAL FILLER (皮肤填充剂)
WHAT IS DERMAL FILLER SINGAPORE (皮肤填充剂)? :
Dermal fillers usually come in the form of injectable gels that can be used to replace volume in our face. Distinct from surgical methods such as fat grafting, fillers are a minimally invasive approach that are favoured for their shorter downtime and relatively lower risks.
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments used to plump up wrinkles and smooth facial lines. They come in various types, each tailored to specific needs and areas of the face. Dermal fillers offer noticeable benefits in enhancing facial appearance, but like any cosmetic procedure, they can have side effects.
WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN HA SKIN BOOSTER AND DERMAL FILLER?
The difference between HA skin booster and Dermal Fillers as follows:
HA skin booster is a skin treatment, whereas fillers are NOT a skin treatment.
DOWNTIME:
HA skin booster: No downtime
Dermal Fillers: Minimal downtime
COMPONENTS:
HA skin booster: Made of 100% hyaluronic acid, HA skin booster blends into the skin seamlessly and distributes itself evenly.
Dermal Fillers: Made of hyaluronic acid and natural sugar already present in the body, Dermal Fillers replicate the function of this naturally occurring substance to restore fullness and volume in numerous facial areas.
CONSISTENCY:
HA skin booster is runnier in texture and is a higher concentration of hyaluronic acid.
Dermal Filler is a thicker more viscous hyaluronic acid
USE:
HA skin booster spreads evenly under the skin and immediately refreshes and plumps the skin from within, this stimulates elastin and collagen production. Nahyco Hybrid Technology HA Skin Booster can be administered in the face, neck, décolleté, hands, and knees.
Dermal Filler stays where it is placed and its use is for volumizing, shaping, lifting, and filling a specific area. Filler can be placed in the lips, nose, cheeks, jaw, chin, temples, tear troughs, and deep-set lines.
TREATMENT OCCURENCE:
HA skin booster is a course of two treatments with each appointment one month apart, which can then be topped up if desired after completing the initial two treatments.
Dermal Filler is dependent on desired result and area treated; this would need to be advised within a doctor consultation. However, recommended treatment is one every 16-18 months.
HOW LONG DOES IT LAST?:
How long does HA skin booster last?
The results from HA skin booster treatments will most often last for up to 6 months, but results can differ from person to person.
How long does dermal filler last?
Dermal fillers can last anywhere from 6 – 18 months depending on the person.
HA SKIN BOOSTER VS DERMAL FILLER SINGAPORE
| Question | HA Skin Booster | Dermal Fillers |
|---|---|---|
| What is it? | Runny, concentrated injectable hyaluronic acid | Thick, gel-like injectable hyaluronic acid |

| Where can it be used? | Cheeks, neck, decollete, hands, knees | Nose, lips, cheeks, jaw, chin, temples, tear troughs, deep lines |
| Treatment Cadence | 2-3 treatments, 4 weeks apart, then 6-monthly maintenance thereafter | 1 treatment every 6-18 months (depending on filler & location) |
BENEFITS OF HA SKIN BOOSTER AND DERMAL FILLER TOGETHER
Can I Do HA Skin Rejuvenation and Filler Together?
HA Skin Rejuvenation and dermal fillers can work very harmoniously together. For example, dermal filler can be used to correct areas of lost volume and HA Skin Rejuvenation can provide a boost in radiance. However, it is advisable to space out these treatments over separate appointments, due to their similar injection locations
Benefits of HA Skin Rejuvenation and Filler as follows:
Benefits of HA Skin Rejuvenation:
- HA Skin Rejuvenation is the first revolutionary bio-remodeling “injectable skincare” that addresses skin laxity and signs of aging through the bio-stimulation of collagen, elastin, and adipocytes stem cells that were lost through skin aging.
- HA 5-Point BAP Anti ageing Injectable had high hyaluronic concentration using 32mg of high molecular weight HA and 32mg of low molecular weight HA.
- HA 5-Point Anti ageing Injectable is not a filler or a skin booster, HA 5-Point Anti ageing Injectable regenerates new tissue and cells, leading to a new skin architecture without volumization.
- HA 5-Point Anti ageing Injectable wakes up dormant fibroblast to allow it to regenerate collagen, and elastin, and complement the results of the skin booster.
- HA 5-Point Anti ageing Injectable works on multiple layers of the skin, and multilevel 3D flowability.
- HA 5-Point Anti ageing Injectable has been clinically proven for safety, efficacy, and bio-compatibility.
- HA Skin Enhancement treatment uses a unique BAP (Bio Aesthetic Points) injection technique for optimal diffusion of the product. With just 5 BAP injection point per side of the face, HA Skin Enhancement treatment diffuses through the different skin layers, across the face through, bringing a natural and lasting refreshed look.
- Minimal pain and downtime.
Benefits of fillers:
- Fuller lips
- Smoother smile lines
- Immediately visible results
- Little to no downtime
- Minimal swelling & bruising
WHY DOES HA SKIN BOOSTER TAKE SO LONG TO WORK? (COMPARED TO DERMAL FILLER)
Dermal filler treatment is an entirely different skincare treatment that is designed to use a harder form of hyaluronic acid (HA) to fill a loss of volume, usually on the face.
While HA skin booster is also a natural hyaluronic acid (ultra-pure hyaluronic acid), it is made differently. Instead of just filling a loss of volume, it will spread evenly and then trigger the body to start producing collagen and elastin.
This means this skin booster will take longer to show results, but it will be the ideal solution for things such as:
- Ageing skin
- Skin laxity
- Skin tone (radiant glow)
- Crepey skin
- Overall skin health
- Sagging skin
- Deeper lines and wrinkles
You’ll find that the skin’s surface will look better as time goes on, and after your initial treatments, your dehydrated skin will appear hydrated and healthy.
HOW TO CHOOSE BETWEEN HA SKIN BOOSTER AND DERMAL FILLER?
Ultimately the decision depends on your concerns and your treatment goals.
HA skin booster is incredibly popular with the more mature age group as it gives beautiful hydration to the skin, softens fine lines and plumps the skin. If your priorities are to smooth skin texture, minimise fine lines and achieve a radiant complexion, HA skin booster is an excellent option.
However, if you’ve lost volume in the face and would like to restore a beautifully balanced profile, dermal fillers will likely be the most appropriate treatment pathway.
Aesthetic Doctors love to use HA skin booster in conjunction with fillers for a healthy, radiant complexion that beautifully showcases the results of the dermal fillers.
SINCE HA SKIN BOOSTER AND DERMAL FILLERS ARE BOTH HA, WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE?
The reason why they have different properties is due to the way that they are cross-linked and the molecular weight of HA.
Cross-linking
HA skin booster is stabilised with a patented thermal technology without the use of chemical bonds. This allows
- Low viscosity – it allows the product to have a high concentration of HA and yet ‘watery’ enough to spread 2cm from the injection point under the skin.
- Increase availability of HA skin booster to bind to water to provide deep hydration effects
HA FILLERS:
- On the other hand, HA fillers are usually BDDE crosslinked to increase viscosity and G’ – which is important so that the fillers are to stay and shape and resist impacts of external pressure
Molecular weight
HA skin booster contains patented hybrid HA complexes of a combination of high and low molecular weight. Low molecular weight complex is responsible for binding to water, providing the hydration effects. Whereas High molecular weight complexes provides a stable HA architecture in the dermis that allows volumetric replacement – giving the ‘Lift’ effect. The different molecular weights penetrate to the different depths of the skin – from the dermis to the superficial adipose layer to kickstart collagen and elastin bio-remodelling process. This collagen building process results in a natural lifting effect.
A dermal filler used to volumise an area usually contains high molecular weight HA cross-linked in BDDE. This will allow the filler to be higher in viscosity, more cohesive that will means that it will be structurally ‘harder’ to take the shape of the area where it ‘fills’. By structurally filling hollow areas where it fills
WHICH IS BETTER? DERMAL FILLER OR HA SKIN BOOSTER?
Which treatment is better?
HA skin booster and Dermal Fillers are both very different. Neither one is better. Essentially, it comes down to the best approach for the results you desire. This is why we always offer a full consultation prior to treatment.
Generally, if you are looking to boost skin hydration, rejuvenate your complexion and reduce skin laxity, HA skin booster will be the one. The treatment duration take around 15 minutes, with results lasting from 6-9 months. Downtime is minimal (24 hours) and a little swelling and bruising is normal. People tend to see improvements to their skin after just 5 days.
If you are looking to boost a specific area i.e. your lips or target deeper wrinkles and skin folds, injectable dermal fillers can help to restore the structure of the skin and add plumpness. Results can last up to 6-12 months depending on the type of filler used.
CAN HA SKIN BOOSTER BE USED WITH A FILLER?
Can HA Skin booster Be Used with A Filler?
HA skin booster and dermal fillers can work very harmoniously together. For example, dermal filler can be used to correct areas of lost volume and HA skin booster can provide a boost in radiance. However, it is advisable to space out these treatments over separate appointments, due to their similar injection locations. This time frame should be at least 2 weeks apart.
HA SKIN BOOSTER VS DERMAL FILLER PRICE
Difference between Dermal Filler and HA skin booster Price Singapore as follows:
The cost of HA skin booster in Singapore starts from $1000 per syringe (2cc) (excl gst), and $3000 for 4 sessions. Depending on your skin condition, more than one (1) HA treatment session might be needed to achieve desired results. Result varies with individuals.
