Skin boosters are injectable treatments designed to improve skin hydration, elasticity, firmness, and overall texture. They involve micro-injections of hyaluronic acid (HA) and other nourishing ingredients directly into the skin’s dermis.
Skin Boosters & Polynucleotides
What are Skin Boosters & Polynucleotides??
Skin Boosters
Polynucleotides
Polynucleotides are derived from purified, natural sources, often salmon DNA, and are used for their regenerative and anti-aging properties.
Treat the body and face including under eye area. By boosting collagen production at a cellular level, polynucleotides can be used absolutely anywhere for long term results. They are also extremely effective at encouraging hair regrowth.
Skin Boosters: How do they work?
1. Hyaluronic Acid Injection: Hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body, attracts and retains water, improving hydration levels in the skin.
2. Collagen Stimulation: The injections stimulate collagen and elastin production, which helps to enhance skin structure and elasticity over time.
3. Deep Hydration: Unlike traditional dermal fillers, which add volume, skin boosters focus on deep hydration, resulting in a radiant and plump appearance.
4. Microcirculation Boost: By improving blood circulation and delivering nutrients, they promote skin rejuvenation.
There is minimal downtime. It is advised to avoid strenuous exercise for 24-48 hours and to leave the treated area makeup free for 24 hours.
Results can vary and you will be advised at your appointment how to optimise your results with skincare and diet.

What are Polynucleotides?
The Power of DNA
Polynucleotides are derived from purified, natural sources, often salmon DNA, and are used for their regenerative and anti-aging properties.
Treat the body and face including under eye area. By boosting collagen production at a cellular level, polynucleotides can be used absolutely anywhere for long term results. They are also extremely effective at encouraging hair regrowth.
The key benefits of polynucleotides include:
- Improves skin texture and tone.
- Reduces signs of aging (fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging).
- Boosts hydration and elasticity.
- Aids in wound healing and tissue repair.
- Safe and biocompatible with minimal risk of allergic reactions.
Polynucleotides: How do they work?
1. Cell Regeneration and Repair:
Polynucleotides stimulate fibroblast production activity, promoting collagen and elastin production, which helps repair damaged skin tissue and improve skin elasticity.
2. Hydration and Moisture Retention:
They have strong water-binding properties, enhancing hydration by attracting and retaining moisture within the skin, leading to a plumper and smoother appearance.
3. Anti-inflammatory Effects:
Polynucleotides help reduce inflammation and redness, making them suitable for sensitive or irritated skin and aiding in wound healing and scar reduction.
4. Antioxidant Protection:
These molecules neutralize free radicals, protecting the skin from oxidative stress and environmental damage, which can accelerate aging.
5. Tissue Regeneration:
Polynucleotides stimulate cell growth and repair, enhancing skin renewal and improving the appearance of scars, stretch marks, and fine lines.
There is minimal downtime. It is advised to avoid strenuous exercise for 24-48 hours and to leave the treated area makeup free for 24 hours.
Polynucleotides are gaining attention in regenerative medicine and skincare for their ability to stimulate cell repair, boost collagen production, and improve skin texture. Results typically become noticeable within 2 to 4 weeks, with continued improvements over 3 to 6 months as collagen remodeling and tissue regeneration progress. However, individual response times can vary based on factors like age, skin condition, and treatment area. For optimal results, a series of treatments is often recommended.

How long will results last?
The results of polynucleotide treatments are long-lasting, typically lasting 6 to 12 months, depending on factors like skin type, lifestyle, and the treatment area. Since polynucleotides work by stimulating natural regeneration, results improve over time and can be maintained with a recommended treatment plan. Many clients choose to have maintenance sessions every 6 to 12 months to prolong and enhance their results.
