Skin Boosters
Not every skin concern calls for volume or a lifted contour. Sometimes what skin needs most is moisture, elasticity, and a genuine glow, restored at a cellular level rather than masked on the surface. Skin Boosters at Whistler Medical Aesthetics are designed for exactly that: a category of injectable and regenerative treatments built to improve the quality of the skin itself, not just its shape.
SkinVive™ by Juvéderm®
Previously known as Volite, SkinVive is a hyaluronic acid microdroplet injectable formulated specifically to improve skin smoothness, hydration, and elasticity, most commonly in the cheeks. Rather than adding volume or contour the way a traditional filler does, SkinVive is placed in tiny droplets just beneath the skin's surface, where it draws in and holds moisture to improve texture from within.
Key Benefits
- Skin smoothness — visibly improves texture and refinement of the skin's surface
- Hydration — deep, sustained moisture that builds over time
- Elasticity and firmness — supports the skin's ability to bounce back
- Natural look — no added volume or contour change, just a refreshed quality of skin
Treatment Times
SkinVive is a hyaluronic acid–based injectable, not a traditional dermal filler and not a neuromodulator. It doesn't change facial shape or restrict muscle movement; it changes the quality of the skin itself.
Exosome Therapy
Exosomes are microscopic vesicles naturally produced by cells that carry proteins, growth factors, and signaling molecules used in cell-to-cell communication and tissue repair. In aesthetic medicine, exosome-based products are applied topically or used alongside procedures that create controlled micro-injury to the skin, such as microneedling or fractional resurfacing, where they're thought to support the skin's own regenerative response.
Key Benefits
- Regenerative support — works with the skin's own repair signaling
- Complements procedures — often layered with microneedling or resurfacing treatments for enhanced results
- Minimal downtime — typically added to an existing treatment with little to no extra recovery time
Treatment Times
Exosome therapy is one of the newer additions to regenerative aesthetics. Our team will walk you through what the current research does and doesn't support, so you can decide whether it's the right addition to your plan with realistic expectations.
Frequently Asked Questions
SkinVive is injected in tiny microdroplets just beneath the skin's surface, where the hyaluronic acid attracts and holds moisture, improving smoothness and elasticity over time.
Not in the traditional sense. It doesn't add volume or reshape features; it improves the quality and hydration of the skin itself.
Most sessions take 15 to 30 minutes, with no downtime afterward.
It works differently than a topical moisturizer. Rather than sitting on the skin's surface, it's placed beneath the skin, where it draws in moisture from within on an ongoing basis rather than temporarily.
Exosome Therapy is an emerging regenerative treatment that supports skin repair, often used alongside procedures like microneedling or resurfacing. Your provider can talk through the current evidence with you at consultation to help you decide if it fits your goals.
Yes. Many patients layer the two as part of a broader skin quality plan. Your provider will help sequence treatments appropriately.
