SKIN BOOSTERS
What Are Skin Boosters?
Skin boosters are injectable treatments designed to improve hydration and overall skin quality.
​
Rather than creating volume like a traditional dermal filler, they are placed within the skin to help improve moisture levels and support a smoother, fresher appearance.​
Skin Boosters may be suitable for skin that feels:
-
Dry or dehydrated
-
Dull
-
​Crepey
-
Less elastic
-
Tired-looking
-
Rough or uneven in texture
POLYNUCLEOTIDES
What Are Polynucleotides?
Polynucleotides are injectable treatments designed to support skin regeneration, hydration and elasticity without adding volume.
​
They can be particularly suited to thin, crepey, tired-looking or less elastic skin, with results developing gradually over time.
Polynucleotides can help support:
-
Skin Quality
-
Elasticity
-
Texture
-
Hydration
-
Gradual Rejuvenation
Skin Boosters vs Polynucleotides
WHICH TREATMENT IS RIGHT FOR YOU?
If your main concern is dehydration and loss of radiance, a skin booster may be recommended.
​
If your priority is overall skin quality, elasticity, texture or delicate areas such as the under eyes, polynucleotides may be considered.
​
For some clients, the treatments may also form part of a wider skin plan alongside treatments such as HydraFacial, RF microneedling or laser treatments.
​
The best option depends on your skin, concerns and individual goals, which is why consultation is an important part of the process.
Where Can They Be Used?
Treatment Areas
Depending on the treatment selected and your individual skin concerns, skin boosters and polynucleotides may be used on areas including:
Face
For hydration, texture and overall skin quality.
Under Eyes
Polynucleotides may be used to support delicate, crepey-looking skin around the eye area.
Neck
To help improve hydration and the appearance of fine, crepey skin
Décolletage
For skin that appears dry, sun-damaged or lacking in elasticity.
Hands
To support hydration and improve the appearance of ageing skin.

FAQ
​
Do skin boosters add volume?
Skin boosters are primarily used to improve hydration and skin quality rather than create the volume or structural changes associated with traditional dermal fillers.
​
What is the difference between skin boosters and polynucleotides?
Skin boosters mainly focus on hydration and improving skin moisture, while polynucleotides are used to support skin regeneration, texture and elasticity. Your practitioner can advise which is more appropriate for your concerns.
​
How many treatments will I need?
This varies depending on the product used, treatment area and your individual skin. Your recommended treatment plan will be discussed during consultation.
​
When will I see results?
Results generally develop gradually. Some clients may notice improved hydration earlier, while changes in overall skin quality may continue to develop over several weeks.
​
Is there downtime?
Downtime is generally limited, although redness, swelling, tenderness or small bumps may occur temporarily following injections.
​
Can I combine these treatments with other skin treatments?
Potentially, yes. Skin boosters and polynucleotides can form part of a wider personalised skin plan, but the timing and suitability of combined treatments should be discussed with your practitioner.
