What is the difference between Skin Boosters and Polynucleotides?

Skin boosters and polynucleotides are both used in aesthetics and dermatology, but they serve different purposes.

Skin Boosters:

  • Skin boosters are typically hyaluronic acid-based injectables that enhance skin hydration, elasticity, and overall appearance.
  • They work by delivering moisture deep into the skin, resulting in a plumper and more radiant complexion.
  • Skin boosters can improve skin texture and fine lines, making them suitable for areas like the face, neck, and hands.

 

Polynucleotides:

  • Polynucleotides are biomolecules that can stimulate cellular regeneration and repair.
  • They are often derived from DNA or RNA and are used to promote collagen and elastin production, which improves skin firmness and elasticity.
  • Polynucleotides are beneficial for treating signs of aging and can help with skin rejuvenation, wound healing, and overall skin health.

In summary, while skin boosters primarily focus on hydration and improving the skin's surface appearance, polynucleotides are aimed at stimulating deeper regeneration and structural support within the skin.
