Skin Boosters Explained: What They Are, How They Work, and Which One is Right for You

If you’re looking to improve skin texture, boost hydration, and achieve a radiant, youthful glow - without the volume of traditional fillers - skin boosters could be the perfect treatment for you.

At Fixation Skincare and Laser Clinic, we offer a curated selection of skin boosters, including Profhilo, Seventy Hyal, and the latest innovation, Polynucleotides. Each one works differently, so let’s break down exactly what skin boosters are, how they work, and how to choose the right one for your skin goals.

What Are Skin Boosters?

Skin boosters are injectable treatments designed to hydrate the skin from within, improve texture, boost collagen and elastin production, and give the skin a smoother, more rejuvenated appearance.

Unlike dermal fillers—which add volume or structure - skin boosters focus on skin quality, targeting concerns like:

• Dryness and dehydration

• Dull or uneven tone

• Fine lines and wrinkles

• Loss of elasticity

• Acne scarring and textural issues

Skin boosters are usually administered in a series of small injections across the face, neck, or décolletage, depending on the area being treated.

How Do Skin Boosters Work?

Most skin boosters are made from hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance in the body that attracts and retains moisture. When injected into the skin, hyaluronic acid hydrates from within and stimulates collagen and elastin production—two key proteins that keep the skin firm, elastic, and youthful.

Other boosters, like polynucleotides, take a slightly different approach by focusing on cellular regeneration and repair.

While the effects are not instant, most clients notice glowing, more hydrated skin within 7–10 days of their first treatment, with ongoing improvement over the following weeks. A course of two to three sessions is typically recommended for best results.

Choosing the Right Skin Booster: Profhilo vs Seventy Hyal vs Polynucleotides

Let’s compare the most popular skin boosters we offer at Fixation:

1. Profhilo

What it is: A high-concentration injectable made with ultra-pure hyaluronic acid.

How it works: Profhilo spreads beneath the skin like honey, stimulating four types of collagen and elastin while deeply hydrating the tissue. It improves skin laxity, texture, and tone, creating a firming and tightening effect.

Best for:

• Mild skin laxity

• Fine lines and crepiness (especially lower face and neck)

• Clients aged 30+ looking for visible rejuvenation without filler

Treatment plan: Two sessions spaced 4 weeks apart, with top-ups every 6 months.

2. Seventy Hyal 

What it is: A bio-stimulating skin booster made with high molecular weight hyaluronic acid.

How it works: Seventy Hyal delivers intense hydration and a dewy glow by replenishing moisture levels and stimulating collagen production. It’s ideal for first-time injectable clients or those who want a plump, hydrated look with minimal downtime.

Best for:

• Dehydrated or dull skin

• Younger clients looking to prevent signs of ageing

• Boosting glow before events or holidays

Treatment plan: Three sessions spaced 4 weeks apart, then maintenance every 3–6 months.

3. Polynucleotides

What they are: A next-generation regenerative treatment made from DNA fragments (often salmon-derived), which stimulate deep skin repair and cellular regeneration.

How they work: Polynucleotides improve skin quality by activating fibroblasts, encouraging new collagen production, reducing inflammation, and promoting skin healing. They’re especially effective for treating under-eye concerns, scarring, pigmentation, and skin damaged by sun or ageing.

Best for:

• Under-eye rejuvenation

• Acne scars or pigmentation

• Sensitive or inflamed skin

• Clients seeking true skin regeneration over hydration

Treatment plan: Usually 3–4 sessions, spaced 2–4 weeks apart, depending on the area and concern.
