Concerns over pollution, stress and self-care have led to increased awareness of skin health in recent years. Social media influencers have amplified this trend, promoting various skin care routines and products. The rapid growth of the global skin care market reflects the growing awareness of skin’s role in overall health. There has been an increased emphasis on preventative measures, natural ingredients and expert guidance. In 2024, the Indian skin care market is projected to reach $9.88 billion, at a compound annual growth rate of 2.60%.
Injectable moisturizers are growing in popularity, with the global market for facial injections expected to reach $36.8 billion by 2032. Asia Pacific, particularly India, Japan and China, shows great growth potential due to rising disposable incomes and large populations seeking effective skin care solutions.

What are injectable moisturizers?
“Injectable moisturizers, also known as skin boosters, are formulated with hyaluronic acid, a substance that occurs naturally in the body and helps maintain skin hydration and suppleness. Unlike traditional moisturizers that are applied topically, injectable moisturizers are administered through fine needles, allowing them to penetrate deeper into the layers of the skin,” says Dr Soma Sarkar, MBBS, MD, Savoie Wellness Academy.
Benefits of injectable moisturizers
Dr. Soma further told HT Lifestyle about the following benefits of injectable moisturizers:
– One of the key benefits of injectable moisturizers is that they deliver intense hydration directly to the skin, addressing concerns like dryness, fine lines and uneven skin tone. By replenishing skin’s moisture levels from the inside out, these treatments help restore a youthful, radiant complexion, leaving skin looking and feeling revitalized.
– It’s important to distinguish between injectable moisturizers and dermal fillers, another common injectable treatment. While dermal fillers are primarily used to add volume and structure to areas of the face, such as the lips and cheeks, injectable moisturizers focus on improving the overall hydration and quality of the skin. This important difference makes injectable moisturizers ideal for complementing other cosmetic procedures, as they can enhance and prolong the effects of treatments such as dermal fillers and Botox.
-What’s more, injectable moisturizers offer a convenient, efficient solution for busy people looking to rejuvenate their skin. Unlike traditional skin care products that require constant application and can take weeks to see results, injectable moisturizers instantly hydrate and provide visible improvements to skin texture and tone, making them an ideal choice for busy lifestyles or those attending special events where you want to look your best.
– Plus, injectable moisturizers are versatile because they are suitable for a wide range of skin types and age groups. Whether you’re in your 20s and looking to ward off signs of aging or in your 50s and looking to restore lost volume and moisture, injectable moisturizers can be customized to meet your specific skin care needs.
– In addition to their moisturizing effects, injectable moisturizers stimulate collagen production, improving skin elasticity and firmness over time. This collagen-boosting effect not only increases skin hydration, but also contributes to a more youthful, rejuvenated appearance. Recently, hydrostretch therapy has emerged as a popular option, offering a gentle, non-invasive approach suitable for all skin types.
– A stabilized hyaluronic acid variant, Viscoderm Hydrobooster hydrates, smooths wrinkles and improves skin elasticity. Its gentle application and easy application make it ideal for active areas of the face, where it seamlessly integrates with the tissue to noticeably improve texture and radiance.
– It is important to undergo your injectable moisturizing treatment under the supervision of a qualified and experienced professional. During your consultation, your skin care professional will assess your skin concerns and goals and create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
