Skin boosters vs polynucleotides: which is right for your skin?

Both treatments support skin quality, but they are chosen for different reasons. The right option depends on the concern, area and expected timeline.

Where skin boosters fit

Skin boosters are often chosen when the main goal is hydration, luminosity and smoother-looking skin texture. They are not designed to create facial volume in the way filler can.

They can suit areas such as the face, neck or hands when skin looks dull, dry or crepey, depending on suitability.

Where polynucleotides fit

Polynucleotides are regenerative treatments used to support skin repair, hydration, collagen and elasticity. They are often considered where the skin needs gradual improvement rather than instant change.

  • Under-eye skin quality and fine lines.
  • Texture, crepiness or tired-looking skin.
  • Areas where regenerative support is more important than volume.

How to choose between them

The decision is not simply about which treatment is newer or more popular. Aesthetx will look at your skin quality, the area being treated, your tolerance for downtime, your budget and the number of sessions likely to be needed.

Why courses are often discussed

Skin quality treatments usually build. A single appointment may help, but courses and maintenance are often discussed when the goal is a more reliable change in hydration, texture or elasticity.
