“Skin booster” is not one thing

Four products, four mechanisms, four different reasons to say no.

The phrase gets used as if it described a single treatment. It describes a shelf. What is in the syringe determines almost everything about what happens next — including how many times you have to come back, which is the part that matters if you are visiting.

  • PN / polynucleotide — works on the skin's repair environment. Texture, pores, thin skin. Course of 3–4, two to four weeks apart.
  • PDLLA — prompts collagen while the particles break down. Overall firmness. Course of 2–3.
  • PLLA — the same idea over a longer horizon, for volume rather than texture. Course of 2–3, four to six weeks apart, results from two to three months.
  • Hyaluronic acid “glow” injections — hydration in the superficial skin. Immediate, short-lived, and the only one of the four that makes sense as a one-off.

The visitor's question is not “which is best” but “which survives my itinerary.” Three of the four are courses. Ask that question in the consultation before you ask about price.
