Skin Boosters and Polynucleotides (Salmon DNA) are both advanced treatments used in skincare and aesthetic medicine, but they have different properties and mechanisms of action. Here's a breakdown of their differences:
What they are:
Skin boosters are injectable treatments designed to hydrate and rejuvenate the skin. They typically consist of hyaluronic acid (HA) or other hydrating agents. Unlike dermal fillers that target specific areas to add volume, skin boosters are designed to improve the overall quality and texture of the skin.
How they work:
Skin boosters work by deeply hydrating the skin, improving elasticity, and stimulating collagen production. The hyaluronic acid used in skin boosters binds to water molecules, ensuring the skin remains hydrated and plump. They are injected into the dermis (the deeper layer of skin) to restore hydration and enhance skin texture.
Benefits:
Common Uses:
Skin boosters are commonly used on the face, neck, décolletage, and hands to address issues like dryness, rough texture, fine lines, and early signs of aging.
Polynucleotides (Salmon DNA):
What they are:
Polynucleotides, specifically salmon DNA, are derived from the DNA of salmon and are used for regenerative skin treatments. These DNA fragments consist of long-chain molecules that help stimulate skin repair and regeneration. The DNA used in these treatments is broken down into small pieces to be more easily absorbed by the skin.
How they work:
When injected into the skin, polynucleotides act as a regenerative agent. They stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, enhance tissue repair, and support the overall regeneration of skin cells. The DNA fragments from salmon stimulate the skin’s natural healing processes and promote the restoration of damaged skin.
Benefits:
Common Uses:
Polynucleotide treatments (salmon DNA) are often used for more intensive skin rejuvenation, especially for aging skin, sun damage, and acne scarring. They're also effective for overall skin repair and improving skin firmness and elasticity.
Both treatments can complement each other depending on your specific skin concerns. Consulting with a skincare professional can help you determine the best treatment for your individual needs.
Skin Boosters are made of Hyaluronic Acid which is injected into the skin to provide deep skin hydration. they work by stimulating collagen & elasticity in the skin. Skin boosters improve the look and feel of the skin promoting a natural glow & radiance & slowing down the aging process by adding extra hydration to the skin
Skin boosters are made of Hyaluronic acid the same as fillers but they work differently, where as dermal fillers have a bonding agent to stay in one place plumping up the skin, restoring volume and filling lines and wrinkles.
Skin boosters are a lightweight Hyaluronic Acid and a lot thinner in texture. Skin Boosters spread all over the area it is injected into to intensely hydrate, moisturise and improve overall skin quality.
Botox works intramuscular by relaxing the muscles preventing excessive movement and wrinkles forming. Although Botox can treat some muscles in the lower face it is mainly used on the upper face whereas skin boosters are recommended for the id to lower face as well as some other delicate areas of skin such as the décolleté, neck and hands
For best results the first 3 skin booster treatments should be done 2-4 weeks apart and then maintained and topped up once or twice a year so every 6 - 12 months or when needed depending on skin condition & lifestyle factors
For people who get wrinkles, skin laxity and crepiness, skin boosters are very beneficial. They improve hydration, fill fine lines & wrinkles by tightening the skin, lifting and giving a younger appearance
The longevity of each skin booster varies depending on brand, maintenance, skin quality and life style factors such as smoking, drinki8ng, diet, water consumption metabolism but generally you can expect them to last between 6- 12 months

Skin boosters are not painful although there may be some slight discomfort and they are fast to insert into the skin.
