Skin Boosters vs Polynucleotides: What's the Difference?

Skin boosters and polynucleotide treatments are both used in aesthetic practice with a focus on skin quality, but they use different products and should not be treated as interchangeable.

What are skin boosters?

Skin booster treatments typically involve injectable products intended to support hydration and skin quality rather than create the structural volume associated with conventional dermal filler. Product composition and intended use vary.

What are polynucleotides?

Polynucleotide products are a different category used by aesthetic practitioners with the aim of supporting skin quality. Evidence, indications, product characteristics and treatment protocols vary, so individual consultation is important.

Which is better?

There is no universally 'better' option. The appropriate treatment depends on the area being treated, skin concerns, medical history, expectations and the clinician's assessment. Some people may not be suitable for either.

What should you ask at consultation?

Ask what product is proposed, why it is appropriate for your concern, expected limitations, risks, alternatives, aftercare and the qualifications of the person treating you.

Aesthetic outcomes vary. Treatment is subject to consultation, clinical assessment and suitability.
