Skin Boosters & Polynucleotides
Skin boosters and polynucleotides are advanced injectable treatments designed to improve skin quality, hydration, and overall rejuvenation. Skin boosters, typically made of hyaluronic acid, work by deeply hydrating the skin, enhancing elasticity, and promoting collagen production, leading to a more radiant and youthful complexion. Polynucleotides, derived from DNA fragments, take skin regeneration a step further by stimulating cell repair, improving skin texture, reducing fine lines, and enhancing overall skin health. These treatments are particularly effective for dull, dehydrated, or aging skin, providing long-lasting results by working at a cellular level to restore and strengthen the skin from within.
Can they be done together?
Yes, skin boosters and polynucleotides can be done together, as they complement each other well. Skin boosters, such as hyaluronic acid injections, deeply hydrate the skin, improving elasticity, texture, and radiance. Polynucleotides, on the other hand, work on a deeper level by stimulating tissue regeneration, collagen production, and cellular repair. When combined, they provide both immediate hydration and long-term skin rejuvenation, making the skin appear plumper, firmer, and more youthful. However, the treatment plan should be tailored to individual skin needs, and a professional practitioner can advise on the best approach for optimal results.
Where can they be applied?
Skin boosters and polynucleotides can be applied to various areas of the face and body to improve hydration, elasticity, and overall skin quality. These treatments work by delivering deep hydration and stimulating collagen production, making them suitable for a wide range of concerns. The most common treatment areas include:
Face – Cheeks, jawline, under-eye area, forehead, and around the mouth to improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, and enhance radiance.
Eyes – The under-eye area, including the tear troughs, to reduce dark circles, improve skin tone, and reduce puffiness.
Lips – To enhance lip hydration, smooth fine lines around the lips, and restore volume for a more youthful appearance.
Neck – Helps to improve skin laxity, reduce fine lines, and smooth crepey skin.
Décolletage – Enhances hydration, reduces sun damage, and smooths fine lines in the chest area.
Hands – Restores volume, improves texture, and reduces the appearance of veins and wrinkles.
Arms – Targets crepey skin and improves overall skin firmness and elasticity.
Abdomen – Enhances skin quality, especially after weight loss, pregnancy, or to improve stretch marks.
Knees & Elbows – Addresses dryness, crepey skin, and loss of elasticity in these often-neglected areas.
Skin boosters are ideal for improving hydration, reducing fine lines, enhancing skin firmness, and giving a radiant, rejuvenated appearance. They can be used as a standalone treatment or in combination with other aesthetic procedures for more comprehensive results. A consultation with a qualified practitioner can help determine the best areas to treat based on individual skin concerns and goals.
Treatments Available
Hyaluronic acid skin boosters
Hyaluronic acid skin boosters are an injectable treatment designed to deeply hydrate and rejuvenate the skin from within. Unlike traditional dermal fillers that add volume, skin boosters work by delivering microinjections of hyaluronic acid into the skin’s deeper layers, improving hydration, elasticity, and overall skin quality. This treatment stimulates collagen production, enhances skin texture, and reduces the appearance of fine lines, giving the skin a smoother, plumper, and more radiant appearance. Ideal for those experiencing dryness, dullness, or early signs of aging, hyaluronic acid skin boosters provide long-lasting hydration and a refreshed, youthful glow. HA skin boosters typically last up to 9 months, depending on factors such as the brand, metabolism, lifestyle, and treated area. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, skin boosters do not add volume but work by deeply hydrating the skin and improving texture, resulting in a radiant, youthful glow. The recommended treatment protocol includes 2 to 3 initial sessions spaced 3 to 4 weeks apart, followed by maintenance treatments every 4 to 6 months to sustain results. For long-lasting benefits, most individuals opt for two full treatments per year after the initial course.
Amino acid and peptide skin boosters
Amino acid and peptide skin boosters are advanced skincare treatments designed to rejuvenate and revitalize the skin at a cellular level. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, essential for maintaining skin structure, hydration, and repair, while peptides are short chains of amino acids that signal the skin to produce collagen and elastin. These boosters work by deeply nourishing the skin, enhancing its natural barrier, and promoting firmer, more youthful-looking skin. They are particularly effective in improving skin texture, elasticity, and hydration, making them a popular choice for addressing fine lines, dullness, and overall skin health. Suitable for all skin types, amino acid and peptide boosters help restore radiance and resilience, leaving the skin plumper and more refreshed. Amino acid and peptide-based skin boosters typically last up to 9 months, similar to hyaluronic acid boosters. These treatments nourish the skin with essential amino acids, peptides, and other nutrients, stimulating collagen and elastin production to improve skin texture, tone, and hydration. The usual treatment protocol involves 2 to 3 initial sessions spaced 3 to 4 weeks apart, followed by maintenance sessions every 6 to 9 months to sustain the results. These skin boosters focus on targeted skin rejuvenation, addressing concerns like fine lines, sagging, and overall skin quality.
Polynucleotides
Polynucleotides are a cutting-edge skin rejuvenation treatment designed to improve skin quality at a cellular level. Derived from purified, natural DNA fragments, polynucleotides work by stimulating fibroblast activity, promoting collagen and elastin production, and deeply hydrating the skin. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, which add volume, polynucleotides focus on repairing and regenerating damaged skin, making them ideal for those looking to address fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and overall skin laxity. They also have powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, helping to reduce redness and support skin healing. This treatment is becoming increasingly popular for its ability to enhance skin texture, hydration, and firmness with long-lasting, natural-looking results. Polynucleotide-based skin boosters, last up to 9 months. These treatments use DNA fragments derived from salmon or other sources to stimulate skin regeneration, enhance hydration, and improve elasticity by promoting collagen production. The results develop gradually, with noticeable improvements in skin texture, tone, and firmness. A typical treatment plan involves 2 to 3 sessions spaced about 3 to 4 weeks apart, followed by maintenance treatments every 6 to 9 months to sustain the rejuvenating effects.
Combination Treatments
Combination treatments using skin boosters, hyaluronic acid (HA) skin boosters, amino acid and peptide skin boosters, and polynucleotides offer a multi-layered approach to skin rejuvenation. HA skin boosters provide deep hydration and improve skin elasticity by attracting and retaining moisture, leading to a plumper, more youthful complexion. Amino acid and peptide boosters stimulate collagen and elastin production, strengthening the skin’s structure and enhancing its overall resilience. Polynucleotides, derived from DNA fragments, promote cellular repair and regeneration, helping to improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, and enhance skin tone. When used together, these treatments work synergistically to hydrate, repair, and stimulate the skin at multiple levels, addressing concerns such as dullness, fine lines, and loss of firmness for long-lasting, natural-looking results. A consultation will determine what treatment plan is best.
Which Booster Is Right For You?
For younger skin (early 20s to 30s) seeking to maintain hydration and a radiant complexion, HA-based boosters like Profhilo are excellent for deep hydration, boosting skin glow, and improving texture without adding volume. For mature skin (40s and beyond) showing loss of elasticity and fine lines, Sunekos—which combines amino acids and hyaluronic acid—is ideal for stimulating collagen and elastin, improving skin quality, and subtly addressing sagging. Polynucleotide-based boosters (like Rejuran or PDRN) are particularly beneficial for more mature skin experiencing significant skin laxity and deep wrinkles, promoting regeneration and improving skin firmness and elasticity. For those with concerns like uneven texture or dryness, peptide-based boosters are effective for rejuvenating the skin and enhancing overall skin quality, texture, and tone. Consulting a skincare professional is key to determining the best skin booster based on individual needs, skin type, and age.
Treatment Frequency and Maintenance
Most skin boosters require 2 to 3 initial sessions, spaced 3 to 4 weeks apart, to achieve the best results. After that, maintenance sessions are typically recommended every 6 to 9 months (depending on the specific treatment and your skin's response). For some, ongoing treatments may be necessary to maintain results over time.
Combination Treatments
Skin boosters can often be combined with other aesthetic treatments like botulinum toxin (Botox) or dermal fillers for more comprehensive skin rejuvenation. For example, Profhilo can be used alongside Botox for skin hydration and wrinkle reduction, or Sunekos can complement dermal fillers to enhance skin texture while adding volume to areas like the cheeks or lips.
Results
Skin boosters, in general, provide a gradual improvement in skin quality. The results often become more noticeable after a few weeks as the treatment stimulates collagen and elastin production. It’s essential to manage expectations and understand that these treatments enhance overall skin health, which means the improvements will be more subtle compared to dramatic volume-enhancing treatments.
Skin Types
Sensitive skin: Some skin boosters, like HA-based or peptide boosters, are usually well-tolerated, but it’s important to discuss with your practitioner if you have sensitive skin, as they can tailor the treatment accordingly.
Oily/Acne-Prone Skin: While many skin boosters can be beneficial, HA-based boosters and polynucleotides are particularly good for this skin type, as they hydrate and support the skin’s natural structure without contributing to excess oil production.
Consider Your Lifestyle
Lifestyle factors like sun exposure, smoking, diet, and hydration can impact how well your skin responds to treatments. To maintain the effects of skin boosters, it's helpful to adopt a good skincare routine, protect your skin from UV rays, and stay hydrated.
If you're thinking about trying skin boosters, it’s always a good idea to consult with a qualified aesthetic professional who can assess your skin type and customize a treatment plan based on your needs. They can also recommend any complementary treatments that would enhance the results.
