Healthy, radiant skin is often associated with youth, confidence, and overall wellbeing. While traditional skincare plays an important role, advanced aesthetic treatments now offer deeper, more effective ways to improve skin quality from within.
Among the most innovative options available today are skin boosters and polynucleotides. These treatments focus on restoring hydration, stimulating natural repair processes, and improving overall skin health rather than simply masking surface concerns.
At SJ Dental & Facial Aesthetics, skin rejuvenation treatments are designed to deliver subtle, natural improvements that enhance your skin’s quality over time.
What Is Skin Rejuvenation
Skin rejuvenation refers to treatments that improve the texture, tone, hydration, and overall condition of the skin.
Unlike treatments that focus solely on wrinkles or volume, skin rejuvenation works at a deeper level to:
- Improve skin quality
- Enhance hydration
- Stimulate collagen production
- Restore a natural, healthy glow
Two of the most effective treatments in this category are skin boosters and polynucleotides.
What Are Skin Boosters
Skin boosters are injectable treatments that use hyaluronic acid to deeply hydrate the skin.
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body that attracts and retains moisture. When introduced into the skin through targeted injections, it improves hydration from within.
How Skin Boosters Work
- Hyaluronic acid is delivered into the deeper layers of the skin
- It binds water to improve hydration levels
- Skin becomes smoother, plumper, and more radiant over time
Rather than adding volume like dermal fillers, skin boosters focus on improving skin quality.
Benefits of Skin Boosters
Skin boosters offer a range of benefits for individuals looking to enhance their skin naturally.
Key Benefits
- Deep, long-lasting hydration
- Improved skin texture and smoothness
- Increased elasticity
- Radiant, healthy-looking complexion
- Reduction in fine lines caused by dehydration
Areas Commonly Treated
- Face
- Neck
- Décolletage
- Hands
These treatments are suitable for individuals of all ages looking to maintain or improve skin quality.
What Are Polynucleotides
Polynucleotides are advanced regenerative treatments designed to repair and rejuvenate the skin at a cellular level.
They are derived from purified DNA fragments and work by stimulating the skin’s natural healing and regeneration processes.
How Polynucleotides Work
- Stimulate collagen and elastin production
- Support tissue repair and regeneration
- Improve skin strength and resilience
- Enhance overall skin quality over time
This makes them particularly effective for improving skin structure rather than just hydration.
Benefits of Polynucleotides
Polynucleotides are ideal for individuals looking for deeper, long-term skin improvement.
Key Benefits
- Stimulates natural collagen production
- Improves skin elasticity and firmness
- Enhances skin repair and regeneration
- Reduces fine lines and crepey texture
- Improves under-eye skin quality
Ideal For
- Dull or tired-looking skin
- Fine lines and early signs of ageing
- Sensitive or damaged skin
- Under-eye rejuvenation
Skin Boosters vs Polynucleotides
Although both treatments fall under skin rejuvenation, they serve different purposes.
Skin Boosters
- Focus on hydration
- Improve skin texture and glow
- Provide quicker visible results
Polynucleotides
- Focus on regeneration and repair
- Stimulate collagen production
- Deliver gradual, long-term improvements
Which Is Better
The choice depends on your skin concerns.
- For hydration and radiance, skin boosters are ideal
- For repair and structural improvement, polynucleotides are more suitable
In many cases, a combination of both treatments may be recommended.
What to Expect During Treatment
Both treatments are minimally invasive and performed in a clinical setting.
Procedure
- Treatment typically takes 30 to 45 minutes
- Small injections are placed in targeted areas
- Discomfort is minimal and well tolerated
Aftercare
- Mild redness or swelling may occur temporarily
- Most patients resume normal activities shortly after
How Many Treatments Are Needed
Skin rejuvenation treatments are often performed as a course to achieve optimal results.
Typical Plan
- 2 to 3 sessions spaced a few weeks apart
- Maintenance treatments recommended as needed
Your practitioner will create a personalised plan based on your skin condition and goals.
When Will You See Results
Results develop gradually as the skin improves from within.
Skin Boosters
- Initial hydration visible within a few weeks
- Continued improvement over time
Polynucleotides
- Gradual improvement as collagen production increases
- Best results seen over several weeks
This progressive improvement contributes to a natural and refined outcome.
