SKIN BOOSTERS
The term "skin booster" refers to a procedure where a stimulators material is injected superficially into the skin to promote healing and hydration. In a general sense, bio-revitalization encompasses all rejuvenation techniques that alter the extracellular matrix using biologically active substances.
Skin boosters can be based on Hyaluronic acid and Polynucleotides (PDRN):
HYALURONIC ACID
The magic of HYALURONIC ACID lies in its ability to attract and retain water due to its large molecular mass. Its role in skin hydration has been proven. Products based on hyaluronic acid deeply moisture the skin, activate fibroblasts, leading to collagen and elastin production. The skin becomes smoother, and its firmness increases. Facial color improves, and pigmentation spots and wrinkles become less noticeable or disappear altogether, reducing stretch marks.
POLYNUCLEOTIDES (PDRN)
Polynucleotides represent a special extract from the DNA of the gonadal tissue of male salmon (milt). As the DNA of salmon and human leukocyte DNA are very similar, this is why polynucleotide-based boosters work effectively on the human body. Polynucleotide-rich substances are abundant in nucleic acids, proteins, and peptides, which have been successfully used in medicine for a century. Polynucleotides powerfully stimulate cellular metabolic processes, restoring their division. The skin begins producing its own young fibroblasts and keratinocytes, along with hyaluronic acid, promoting self-renewal. They bind free radicals, protecting against the consequences of UV radiation.
Bio-revitalization injections are used for visible rejuvenation of the face, neck, décolleté, hands, and any other parts of the body that a patient wishes to "revitalize."
In the "cocktail" for bio-revitalization amino acids, antioxidants, peptides, coenzymes, vitamins, and minerals are often added. This allows achieving additional cosmetic rejuvenation and addressing some aesthetic issues.
The ultimate outcome of both hyaluronic acid and polynucleotide-based biorevitalizers is similar. It can effectively treat a wide range of symptoms of ageing which include:

The ultimate outcome of both hyaluronic acid and polynucleotide-based biorevitalizers is similar. It can effectively treat a wide range of symptoms of ageing which include:
BIO-REVITALIZATION
Loss of skin tone and skin sagging
Skin ageing
Lack of hydration
Porous skin
Acne and acne scarring
Dark circles under eyes
Sun damage
Fine lines and wrinkles
Rosacea
Pigmentation
Duration of the effect primarily depends on whether you completed a course of procedures (usually 3-5 sessions with a 2-4 week interval) or underwent a single procedure. Initial effects of bio-revitalization become apparent within the first week after the procedure, with subsequent effects appearing a bit later. Noticeable smoothing of wrinkles and a lifting effect occur about a week after the first procedure due to intense skin hydration after the introduction of hyaluronic acid into areas with the most significant deficiency. Hyaluronic acid naturally breaks down and is expelled from the body, so the results typically last an average of 6–9 months.
Following your treatment, you may notice small bumps at the injection sites, lasting 1 to 48 hours before dispersing beneath the skin. Bruising, the most common side effect, usually appears immediately and may last 3-5 days. Mild swelling and tenderness are normal and typically diminish within a few days to a week. No recovery time is needed, allowing you to resume daily activities right away.
- Gently massage injection points to encourage small bump breakdown, ensuring clean and sanitized hands.
- Avoid washing your face or applying skincare products for 4-6 hours.
- Postpone makeup application for 24 hours; if using after 24 hours, ensure clean and sanitized brushes.
- Abstain from exercise/sweating for 24 hours, and avoid swimming, saunas, and spas for 48 hours.
- Sleep on a clean pillowcase, preferably silk/satin.
- Adhere to the golden rule: Minimize direct sun exposure, especially to tanning beds (preferably forever, but if necessary, wait 7 days).
- Stay well-hydrated by drinking plenty of water.
- Coldsores (virus)
- Granulomas
- Spots/acne at the injection sites
- Active Infections (skin)
- Allergy/Hypersensitivity to Hyaluronic Acid
- Insulin-dependent diabetics
- Pregnancy
- Breastfeeding mothers
- Body Dysmorphia
- Blood thinning medication
- Epilepsy
- Papustular Rosacea
- Open Lesions
- Solar Keratosis
- Skin Cancer
- Haemophilia
- Autoimmune diseases
- Family history of hypertrophic scarring or keloid formation
