Injectable Moisturizers

The Under-the-Radar Treatment Giving Skin a Serious Glow-Up

If you’re a skincare enthusiast, you probably have a shelf full of serums promising hydration, radiance, and that elusive “lit-from-within” finish. But here’s the truth: even the best topical products can only do so much from the surface. Sometimes, your skin needs a little help from the inside out—and that’s where injectable moisturizers come in.

They’ve been a mainstay in Europe and Asia for years, but only recently made their way into North American clinics. And now that they’re here? They’re quietly becoming one of the most in-demand treatments at Aegis MD in St. Catharines.

What exactly is an injectable moisturizer?

Also called skin boosters, these are treatments designed to improve skin quality. The star ingredient is hyaluronic acid (HA), a molecule your skin naturally produces to keep itself plump and hydrated. As we age, HA levels drop, and that’s when you notice fine lines, dullness, and a loss of bounce in the skin.

Injectable moisturizers deliver a soft, diluted form of HA directly into the upper layers of your skin. Unlike traditional fillers, which add volume or sculpt facial features, skin boosters work more like a deep-conditioning treatment to infuse moisture evenly and subtley.

Why they’re worth your attention

At Aegis MD medical aesthetics clinic in Niagara, patients love injectable moisturizers for the same reason makeup artists love a great primer. They make everything look smoother, fresher, and more luminous. Results aren’t dramatic in the “did she get something done?” way. But you will have people saying “she looks ridiculously well-rested”.

Benefits include:

  • Hydration that lasts for months, not hours.
  • Softer fine lines and improved texture.
  • A healthy, even-toned glow without makeup.
  • Better elasticity—skin feels springy again.
  • Versatile use—not just for the face, but neck, chest, and hands too

What the treatment feels like

The session is quick, taking only 20 to 30 minutes, tops. Your skin is cleansed, and if you like, a light numbing cream is applied. Using a fine needle, we place microdroplets of HA in a grid-like pattern just beneath the surface. Most patients describe it as a light pinching sensation at most. Afterwards, you might see a bit of redness or minor swelling, but it fades quickly.

When to expect results & how long they last

Some people notice a subtle glow almost immediately, while for others, the best results emerge over the next week. That’s when hydration levels peak and your skin starts to look noticeably smoother and more even. Most patients enjoy their results for four to six months before booking a top-up.

Who can benefit from injectable moisturizers?

If you’re dealing with dryness, dullness, or the first signs of fine lines, or you want to keep your skin in peak condition, injectable moisturizers are a wise investment. They’re also a great option if you’re not ready for fillers but want something more potent than a serum.
