Skin Boosters, Polynucleotides, and Dermal Fillers: What’s the Difference?

When it comes to achieving youthful, glowing skin, the world of aesthetic treatments offers a range of options to enhance your complexion. Among the most popular treatments are skin boosters, polynucleotides, and dermal fillers—each targeting specific skin concerns with unique benefits. But what exactly are the differences between these treatments, and which one is right for you? Let’s explore.

1. What Are Skin Boosters?

Skin boosters are a popular treatment for improving overall skin hydration and texture. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, which add volume to specific areas, skin boosters are injected just beneath the surface of the skin to deeply hydrate and plump from within. They help with fine lines, skin texture, and overall radiance by increasing moisture levels in the skin.

How Do They Work? Skin boosters typically contain hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in our skin that retains moisture. When injected, they attract water, delivering long-lasting hydration that results in smoother, glowing skin. This treatment is ideal for people who want to enhance their skin's appearance without adding volume to specific areas.

Benefits of Skin Boosters:

• Improve skin hydration and texture

• Reduce fine lines and wrinkles

• Enhance radiance and firmness

• Suitable for the face, neck, décolletage, and hands

2. What Are Polynucleotides?

Polynucleotides are a newer type of skin treatment that go beyond hydration. They are bio-stimulating agents made from DNA fragments, which help regenerate skin cells, repair damaged tissues, and stimulate collagen production. This makes polynucleotides highly effective for skin rejuvenation.

How Do They Work? Polynucleotides are injected into the skin to promote cell regeneration and enhance tissue repair. They improve skin elasticity, boost collagen, and support the skin’s natural healing processes, making them perfect for tackling fine lines, sagging skin, and even sun damage.

Benefits of Polynucleotides:

• Stimulate collagen and elastin production

• Improve skin elasticity and firmness

• Enhance tissue regeneration and repair

• Great for anti-aging, sun-damaged skin, and skin revitalization

3. What Are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are one of the most well-known aesthetic treatments. They are used to add volume, lift sagging areas, and smooth out deeper lines and wrinkles. Made from hyaluronic acid or other volumizing agents, dermal fillers are ideal for enhancing facial contours and restoring lost volume due to aging.

How Do They Work? Dermal fillers are injected deeper into the skin or beneath the surface to add volume and structure. They can be used to sculpt facial features, such as the cheeks, jawline, and lips, while also smoothing out deeper folds like nasolabial lines (smile lines). The results are immediate, and the effects can last anywhere from 6 to 18 months.

Benefits of Dermal Fillers:

• Add volume to cheeks, lips, and under-eye areas

• Smooth deep lines and folds

• Enhance facial contours and shape

• Immediate results with long-lasting effects

Choosing the Right Treatment for You

• If you’re looking for deep hydration and want to improve your skin's texture without adding volume, skin boosters are a great choice.

• For those focused on skin rejuvenation, healing, and collagen stimulation, especially for more damaged or aging skin, polynucleotides offer impressive results by enhancing your skin’s natural repair processes.

• If your goal is to add volume or sculpt certain areas of your face while smoothing out deep wrinkles, dermal fillers are your go-to treatment.
