What is Skin Boosters?

Skin boosters are ingredients that support skin renewal, delivered into the skin with very fine needles. They include polynucleotides (salmon DNA), hyaluronic acid, amino acids and vitamin complexes.

Unlike fillers, the aim is not to add volume but to improve the quality of the skin — its hydration, elasticity, radiance and texture.

How does it work?

Polynucleotides (salmon DNA) support cell renewal and repair processes; hyaluronic acid increases the skin’s capacity to retain moisture. Together these ingredients aim to support collagen and elastin production.

The content is chosen according to your skin analysis: hydration-focused formulas for dry, tired skin and renewal-focused formulas for fine lines.

When is it used?

  • Dry and dull skin
  • Fine lines and early wrinkles
  • Loss of elasticity and firmness
  • Fine lines and dark circles around the eyes
  • Skin quality on the neck and décolletage
  • Supporting skin texture in acne scarring

How is it done?

  1. 1Skin analysis and product selection.
  2. 2Cleansing the skin and applying numbing cream.
  3. 3Treatment of the skin with fine needles.
  4. 4Aftercare advice and session plan.
Before
  • Blood thinners and alcohol in the week before treatment can increase the risk of bruising.
  • There should be no active acne, infection or cold sores in the area.
  • For salmon DNA, you will be asked whether you are allergic to fish products.
During the treatment
  • The skin is cleansed and numbing cream is applied.
  • The product is injected at many small points with fine needles.
  • The procedure takes 30–45 minutes including numbing time.
After
  • Small bumps and redness at the injection points may last 24–48 hours.
  • Do not wear make-up for the first 24 hours; avoid saunas, steam rooms and strong sun.
  • Using sunscreen is important to maintain the result.
When will I see results? A change in skin radiance is usually noticeable after the first session; a course of 3 sessions every 2–3 weeks is recommended for lasting improvement. Maintenance sessions can then be planned every 4–6 months.

Possible side effects

  • Temporary redness, bumps and bruising
  • Tenderness
  • Rarely an allergic reaction to the ingredients

Who is it not suitable for?

It is not used, or only planned after medical assessment, in the following situations:
  • Pregnancy and breastfeeding
  • Active acne, infection or cold sores in the area
  • Allergy to the ingredients (fish allergy for salmon DNA)
