Skin boosters are injectable treatments designed to improve skin hydration, texture, elasticity, and overall appearance. Unlike traditional dermal fillers that add volume or contour, skin boosters work more subtly by enhancing skin quality from within. They are typically injected into the mid to deep dermis and are suitable for the face, neck, hands, and delicate areas like under the eyes.
Hyaluronic Acid (HA):
The most common type, hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring molecule in the skin that holds water and helps maintain hydration and plumpness. HA-based boosters (like Profhilo, Juvéderm Volite, Seventy Hyal 2000) are excellent for dry, dull, or aging skin.
Polynucleotides:
Derived from purified DNA fragments (often from salmon), polynucleotides stimulate skin regeneration, repair damaged tissue, and improve elasticity. They are anti-inflammatory and ideal for sensitive or aging skin, especially around the eyes.
Amino Acids & Peptides:
Found in products like Sunekos, these stimulate collagen and elastin production, targeting early signs of aging and improving skin structure.
Biostimulators (e.g. Aesplla):
These activate the skin’s natural collagen production over time. They provide long-lasting results and are typically used for mature or sagging skin. Effects build gradually and can last years.
What It Is: Pure Hyaluronic Acid (HA).
Profhilo® is a unique injectable treatment containing pure hyaluronic acid in one of the highest concentrations available. Unlike traditional fillers, it spreads evenly under the skin to hydrate, tighten, and remodel from within—without adding volume.
