Skin Boosters & Polynucleotides FAQs
​​
What are skin boosters?
Skin boosters are injectable treatments designed to deeply hydrate the skin and improve overall skin quality. They work by delivering hyaluronic acid into the skin to enhance elasticity, smoothness, and radiance.
What concerns do skin boosters treat?
Skin boosters help improve:
-
Dehydrated or dull skin
-
Fine lines and crepey texture
-
Loss of elasticity
-
Uneven skin tone
-
Tired-looking skin
How do skin boosters work?
They attract and retain moisture within the skin, improving hydration from the inside out while stimulating collagen for long-term skin quality improvement.
​
Are skin boosters the same as dermal fillers?
No. Skin boosters do not add volume or change facial shape. They are designed to improve skin texture and hydration rather than contour.
​
What are polynucleotides?
Polynucleotides are advanced injectable treatments derived from DNA fragments that stimulate skin repair and regeneration at a cellular level. They improve skin quality, elasticity, and overall skin health.
​
What skin concerns do polynucleotides treat?
Polynucleotides can help with:
-
Fine lines and wrinkles
-
Loss of elasticity
-
Skin thinning
-
Dark under-eye circles
-
Acne scarring
-
Sun-damaged or ageing skin
How do polynucleotides work?
They promote tissue repair, stimulate fibroblasts, improve hydration, and reduce inflammation, leading to healthier, stronger, more resilient skin over time.
​
How is this different from skin boosters?
While skin boosters focus on hydration, polynucleotides focus on regeneration and repair. They improve the skin’s structure and quality rather than simply adding moisture.
​
Is the treatment painful?
Discomfort is minimal. A topical numbing cream is used, and the injections are superficial and quick.
​
How long does the treatment take?
Treatment usually takes 30–45 minutes, including consultation and numbing.
​
Is there any downtime?
Downtime is minimal. You may experience small bumps, redness, or mild swelling at injection sites, which typically settles within 24–72 hours.
​
When will I see results?
Hydration and glow are often noticeable within 1–2 weeks, with continued improvement over several weeks as the skin quality improves.
​
How many treatments are recommended?
A course of 2–3 treatments, spaced 3–4 weeks apart, is usually recommended, followed by maintenance every 6–9 months.
