Polynucleotides or skin boosters?

Both improve skin quality, but in different ways. Here is how they differ, so you can choose the right one, with help from our Southport team.

Regeneration versus hydration

Polynucleotides and skin boosters both improve the quality of your skin rather than its shape, which is why they are often compared. The difference is what they do underneath: one regenerates, the other hydrates. This guide explains both, part of our skin treatments in Southport.

Which Treatment Is Right For You?

Polynucleotides

Regenerative injectables that prompt the skin to repair and rebuild, boosting collagen and improving texture, tone and early laxity over a course.
Course of 2 to 3, maintained every 6 to 9 months

This is suitable for those looking for:

Skin repair, texture, under-eyes and early laxity

Skin boosters

Injectable hyaluronic acid that hydrates the skin deeply from within, improving softness, glow and fine texture.
Course of 2 to 3, then around 6 months with maintenance

This is suitable looking for:

Hydration, glow and dry or dull skin

The core difference

Skin boosters mainly hydrate, drawing water into the skin for softness and glow. Polynucleotides go further, stimulating the skin to repair and regenerate, which improves texture, tone and early firmness as well as hydration. Boosters are about moisture; polynucleotides are about rebuilding.

Which is right for you

If your skin is mainly dry, dull or lacking glow, skin boosters may be all you need. If it is tired, crepey, damaged or starting to lose firmness, polynucleotides offer more, because they repair as well as hydrate. We assess your skin at consultation and recommend the right fit or combination.

Can you combine them?

Yes. Some plans use polynucleotides to repair and boosters to hydrate, sequenced across a course for the best of both.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

They are sometimes called next-generation skin boosters, but they regenerate the skin rather than only hydrating it, so they do more.
Polynucleotides often suit ageing or damaged skin better, as they repair and rebuild. Boosters are excellent for hydration and glow.
Both are gentle and well tolerated. Polynucleotides in particular are known for soothing, regenerative properties.
No. Both improve skin quality rather than adding volume. For volume you would need dermal filler.
