SKIN  BOOSTERS
vs 
POLYNUCLEOTIDES
Explained

 

Do you know that every decade of our lives, we lose 1 teaspoon of hyaluronic acid?

​

Skin Boosters, containing hyaluronic acid, vitamins, and peptides, restore elasticity, firmness &  radiance, imparting a healthy GLOW.

​

Meanwhile, Polynucleotides, which consist of nucleotides with nitrogenous bases, pentose sugars, and phosphate groups, repair and regenerate skin cells, enhancing rejuvenation.

​

Together, they provide a comprehensive treatment, leaving the skin looking refreshed, revitalised, and beautifully RADIANT.

 

Here’s a breakdown of the differences in benefits:

​

​

COMPOSITION:

  • Polynucleotides (PNs): 

Polynucleotides are fragments of DNA derived from natural sources (like salmon). They primarily work by stimulating cellular regeneration, collagen production, and providing anti-inflammatory benefits.

​

  • Skin Boosters:

Skin boosters typically contain hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance that is key for hydration and maintaining skin plumpness. Some skin boosters may also contain vitamins, amino acids, or other nutrients.

​​

​

KEY MECHANISMS:

Polynucleotides:

  • Regeneration and Repair:

PNs promote cell regeneration and repair damaged tissue by activating fibroblasts and stimulating collagen synthesis.

  • Anti-inflammatory Action:

They reduce inflammation, soothing irritated or damaged skin.

  •   Nucleic Acid Effect:

The DNA fragments assist in wound healing, tissue repair, and skin restructuring.

​

Skin Boosters:

  •    Hydration:

Skin boosters deeply hydrate the skin by increasing water retention through the action of hyaluronic acid, which improves skin plumpness and elasticity.

  •   Moisture Barrier:

They enhance the skin’s ability to retain moisture, combating dryness and dullness.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​IDEAL CANDIDATES:

  • Polynucleotides: 

Best suited for individuals dealing with aging skin, tissue damage, scarring, and skin that needs repair. It’s also good for those looking for anti-inflammatory and healing benefits, as well as improved skin tone and texture.

​

  • Skin Boosters:

Ideal for those with dry, dull, or dehydrated skin who are looking for enhanced hydration, plumpness, and smoother texture. It works well for those wanting a natural-looking glow.

​

​

TREATMENT DURATION & EFFECTS:

  • Polynucleotides:

Effects can be longer-lasting as they work to rebuild and repair the skin over time, providing benefits such as collagen production and tissue regeneration.

​

  • Skin Boosters:

 Results are quicker but may be more temporary, with the need for touch-ups every 6-9 months as hyaluronic acid degrades over time.

 

 

SUMMARY

  • Polynucleotides focus on repairing, regenerating, and rejuvenating the skin**, addressing deeper skin issues like aging, scars, and pigmentation.

  • Skin boosters are excellent for **hydration, plumping, and giving the skin a natural glow**, ideal for superficial concerns such as dryness and fine lines.

​

Both treatments can be complementary depending on the individual's skin concerns and goals.
