What are Skinboosters?

Skinboosters are injectable treatments designed to improve skin hydration and support collagen production. By working beneath the skin surface, they help restore skin quality and maintain a healthier, more refreshed appearance.

What are the benefits of Skinboosters?

Skinboosters can help improve skin hydration at the dermal level. Adequate hydration plays an important role in maintaining skin health, which may include improvements such as:
  • Reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
  • Improved skin firmness and elasticity
  • Brighter, more refreshed under-eye area
  • Smoother skin texture with reduced appearance of acne marks

What are Hyaluronic Acid Skinboosters?

Hyaluronic acid (HA) skinboosters are injectable treatments designed to improve hydration and support overall skin quality through a process known as bio-remodelling.

How do they work?

These treatments use a high concentration of hyaluronic acid, released gradually over several weeks to support collagen and elastin stimulation. The unique formulation combines two types of hyaluronic acid:
  • Low Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid (L-HA): Helps the skin retain moisture, contributing to a plumping and hydrating effect.
  • High Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid (H-HA): Provides structure in the dermis, supporting firmness and elasticity.
Since these skinboosters do not contain chemical cross-linking agents, the hyaluronic acid spreads evenly under the skin for a smooth, natural finish.

What are Polynucleotide (PN) Skinboosters?

Polynucleotide-based skinboosters are sometimes referred to as “baby skin injections” (婴儿针). Unlike hyaluronic acid injectables, these treatments contain polynucleotides (PN) derived from salmon DNA, which support skin repair and collagen stimulation. PN helps repair damaged skin cells and promotes fibroblast activity — the cells responsible for producing collagen and elastin.

How do Polynucleotide Skinboosters work?

Polynucleotides act by stimulating fibroblasts in the skin, which in turn support the production of collagen and elastin. While these treatments are less focused on hydration compared to hyaluronic acid injectables, they are valued for their reparative effects. Over time, this can lead to improvements in skin tone, firmness, texture, and overall skin health. They may also be combined with other injectable treatments, such as hyaluronic acid skinboosters, to provide both hydration and repair.

Choosing Between Skinboosters

When considering skinboosters, it is important to evaluate factors such as skin type, treatment goals, and personal preferences.

Hyaluronic acid (HA)-based skinboosters are designed to spread evenly beneath the skin, helping to improve hydration, texture, and overall skin quality.

Polynucleotide (PN)-based skinboosters work by supporting skin repair and stimulating collagen production, which may help address fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of aging.

FAQs of Skinboosters

Skinboosters are commonly used across a range of skin types, but suitability should be determined during a clinical assessment. A consultation will help determine if a skinbooster is appropriate for an individual’s specific skin characteristics.

Downtime is generally minimal for many patients; however, some individuals may experience temporary redness, swelling or bruising. Expected recovery varies and will be discussed during consultation.

Response and duration vary between individuals and depend on factors such as the product used, treatment protocol and patient biology. Some patients report effects lasting several months, but individual experiences differ and will be reviewed at follow-up.

Skinboosters may be combined with other treatments in some treatment plans. Whether combinations are appropriate depends on clinical assessment, treatment goals, and timing considerations to ensure safety.

Common, typically mild reactions can include temporary redness, swelling, bruising or tenderness at the injection site. These generally subside over days to weeks. Less common or more serious complications can occur; potential risks and aftercare will be reviewed during consultation.

Some patients notice changes soon after treatment, while others may observe gradual changes over several weeks. Timing and extent of response vary between individuals and by product; this will be discussed during follow-up appointments.
