Women partying

As we leave summer behind and prepare for the colder months ahead, many of us start thinking about our skin. The sun, although lovely, can leave its mark – and as the festive season approaches, it’s natural to want to rejuvenate tired skin. If you’ve noticed your skin looking a little dull or dehydrated after the summer months, now is the perfect time to explore treatments that help bring back its glow and vitality.

Skin boosters and polynucleotides have become popular solutions for skin rejuvenation, but what exactly are they? How do they work? And how do they differ? Let’s break down the science and explain how these advanced treatments can help you achieve a refreshed, glowing complexion – just in time for Christmas party season.

How Do Polynucleotides Work?

Comparison of eyes before and after treatmentPolynucleotides are bioactive molecules that work to repair damaged tissues at a cellular level. Think of them as the building blocks of DNA that help to restore skin’s health. When injected into the skin, polynucleotides stimulate collagen production, encourage tissue regeneration, and promote hydration. They are particularly useful for treating delicate areas such as:

  • Dark circles and fine lines around the eyes
  • Crepey skin on the lower cheeks or neck
  • Overall skin laxity and loss of elasticity

Polynucleotides are often recommended for those looking for a natural, gradual improvement. The treatment is ideal for women seeking subtle results with long-term benefits, especially those concerned with signs of ageing or sun damage.

How Do Skin Boosters Work?

Skin boosters, on the other hand, are a fantastic option for injecting hydration directly into the skin. They contain hyaluronic acid, a substance that holds water and is naturally present in the skin. When injected, skin boosters work by deeply hydrating the skin from within, smoothing fine lines, and giving a radiant, plump effect.

Different skin boosters contain additional ingredients that offer various benefits:

  • Profhilo: Known for its ability to provide an overall skin boost, Profhilo contains one of the highest concentrations of hyaluronic acid. It stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, improving skin tone, texture, and hydration. It’s perfect for those wanting to refresh their entire face with a natural-looking glow.

  • Teosyal Redensity 1: This skin booster goes a step further by adding amino acids, antioxidants, and vitamins into the mix. It’s fantastic for tired, dull, or ageing skin, and works well in areas like the face, neck, and décolletage. Redensity 1 can help address fine lines, uneven skin tone, and sagging skin.

  • Xela Rederm: A unique offering that combines hyaluronic acid with succinic acid. Succinic acid has antioxidant properties and is great for treating pigmentation and dull skin. Xela Rederm works well for anyone concerned with uneven skin tone or sun damage, offering a more targeted approach to pigmentation.

What is the Difference Between Polynucleotides and Skin Boosters?

While both treatments focus on rejuvenating the skin, they work in different ways. Polynucleotides promote tissue repair and regeneration, ideal for more targeted concerns such as crepey skin and fine lines around the eyes. Skin boosters, however, focus on hydrating and plumping the skin, improving overall texture and providing a more general glow.

In simple terms:

  • Polynucleotides: Best for regenerating and repairing, ideal for targeted areas like the under-eye or cheeks.
  • Skin Boosters: Hydrate and plump the skin, giving a healthy, radiant glow. Suitable for the whole face, neck, and décolletage.

When Should You Start These Treatments?

Both polynucleotides and skin boosters are not “quick fixes” but work gradually, providing improvements over time. Since it may take several weeks to see the full benefits, it’s worth getting started well in advance of the Christmas party season. Booking your treatments now will ensure that by the time those festive invites roll in, your skin is looking refreshed and radiant.

Are You Ready for the Christmas Party Season?

As December approaches, many of us are thinking about how to get party-ready. Whether it’s tackling dryness from the summer sun or adding a glow to lacklustre skin, now is the time to act. Skin rejuvenation treatments, like polynucleotides and skin boosters, are the perfect way to combat dry, tired skin and bring back a youthful glow.

Combatting Dry, Lacklustre Skin

Hydration is key to healthy-looking skin, and both polynucleotides and skin boosters can help revitalise tired, dry complexions. If you’ve spent the summer in the sun or are feeling the effects of cooler weather, these treatments can bring back the moisture and luminosity you’ve been missing.

The combination of hyaluronic acid (found in skin boosters like Profhilo, Redensity 1, and Xela Rederm) and regenerative polynucleotides offers a powerful approach to revitalising your skin, making them excellent choices for women looking to refresh and prepare for the festive season.
