Choose by what your skin actually needs
The first decision is not the brand. It is whether the main problem is hydration and firmness, fragile or crepey skin, or fine surface texture and glow.
Polynucleotides — repair + resilience
Biostimulating treatment often considered for thin, fragile, crepey or under-eye skin-quality concerns.
Explore polynucleotides →HA boosters — glow + fine texture
Targeted injectable hyaluronic-acid formulas for dehydration, luminosity, fine lines and surface crepiness.
See HA booster options →Skin boosters are most useful when the issue is skin quality rather than shape
Dehydration & dullness
Skin that looks tired, flat or less luminous despite an appropriate skincare routine.
Crepiness & fine lines
Fine textural change on the cheeks, neck, peri-oral area or hands where filler is not the right tool.
Thin or fragile skin
Selected under-eye or delicate-skin concerns where tissue quality rather than volume is the priority.
Loss of elasticity
Gradual reduction in skin bounce and resilience without a major structural deficit.
Photo-aged skin
Uneven texture, fine lines and dehydration after cumulative sun exposure.
Maintenance
Skin-quality support alongside skincare, peels, laser or other treatments where clinically appropriate.
Common areas include face, neck, décolletage, hands, peri-oral skin and, depending on the product, the under-eye area.
Measure before you choose
Skin Lab can help distinguish dehydration from laxity, barrier dysfunction or fragile skin
Dryness, laxity, inflammation and fine crepiness are not the same problem. Where useful, Skin Lab can provide a baseline before an injectable skin-quality programme.
- Hydration measurement
- Elasticity and firmness assessment
- Barrier / TEWL context
- Standardised imaging
- Follow-up tracking rather than relying on memory alone
Our most requested skin boosters
Each option has a different role. The product is chosen after assessment rather than by trend or brand familiarity.

Skin booster vs filler vs polynucleotides
Skin booster
Best when the goal is diffuse hydration, smoothness, fine texture and skin quality across an area rather than changing facial shape.
Dermal filler
Used when the primary issue is structure, contour or volume — for example cheeks, lips, chin or selected folds.
Explore dermal fillers →Polynucleotides
Often selected when tissue repair, resilience and thin or fragile skin are greater priorities than pure hydration.
Explore polynucleotides →Courses rather than one-off trends
Profhilo course
Two sessions, usually around four weeks apart, followed by maintenance according to response.
Polynucleotide course
Usually three to four sessions for under-eye, facial or fragile-skin concerns, tailored to area and tissue quality.
Skin-quality programme
A personalised plan using boosters, skincare, peels or laser where appropriate, with progress measured over time.
Safety first
Safety and suitability
We assess:
- Medical history and current medication
- Previous injectable treatments
- Skin inflammation or active infection
- Area-specific anatomy and product suitability
- Realistic expectations and alternatives
Treatment is generally avoided or postponed with:
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Active infection at the treatment site
- Active inflammatory skin flare
- Certain medical conditions or relevant medication
- Recent procedures where tissue has not recovered

How quickly will I see results?
Hydration and glow may improve within one to two weeks. Firmness and texture usually refine more gradually over several weeks, depending on the product and your individual response.
What is the difference between skin boosters and filler?
Skin boosters improve skin quality across an area. Dermal fillers are used to add structure, contour or volume at specific points. They can sometimes be combined, but they are not the same treatment.
Is there downtime?
Small bumps, pinpoint marks or mild swelling can occur for around 12–48 hours depending on the product and treatment area. Your clinician will give specific aftercare.
How many sessions do I need?
Most plans involve an initial course of around two to four sessions, followed by maintenance according to the product, area and response.
Are skin boosters suitable under the eyes?
Some products may be appropriate for under-eye skin quality, but puffiness, hollowness, pigmentation and thin skin are different problems and require careful assessment.
Which skin booster is best?
There is no universally best product. Profhilo, polynucleotides and HA boosters behave differently, so the choice should follow assessment of the actual skin concern.
