When it comes to non-surgical facial rejuvenation, dermal fillers are a popular choice. But not all fillers are the same—some provide instant volume and hydration, while others work gradually to stimulate collagen production for longer-term results. The two main types of fillers are Hyaluronic Acid (HA) fillers and skinboosters. Understanding their differences can help you make an informed decision about the best option for your aesthetic goals.
What Are Hyaluronic Acid Fillers?
Hyaluronic Acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps maintain skin hydration, plumpness, and elasticity. HA fillers are designed to restore lost volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours immediately.
Benefits of Hyaluronic Acid Fillers:
✔ Instant Results: Effects are visible immediately after treatment.
✔ Hydration Boost: HA attracts water molecules, keeping skin hydrated.
✔ Reversible: HA fillers can be dissolved with an enzyme called hyaluronidase.
✔ Versatile: Can be used in the lips, cheeks, under-eyes, nasolabial folds, and jawline.

What Are Skinboosters?
Skin boosters, such as polynucleotides and Profhilo, are injectable treatments designed to enhance skin quality and hydration. They work by delivering essential nutrients and promoting collagen and elastin production, leading to improved skin texture, elasticity, and overall appearance.
### Polynucleotides
- Composition: Polynucleotides are biocompatible molecules derived from DNA and RNA. They are known for their regenerative properties and ability to stimulate cellular repair and rejuvenation.
- Mechanism: When injected into the skin, polynucleotides help to enhance tissue repair, improve hydration, and promote collagen synthesis. They can also reduce inflammation and support skin elasticity.
- Results: Treatments with polynucleotides can lead to smoother, more elastic skin, improved hydration, and a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles.
### Profhilo
- Composition: Profhilo is a unique hybrid injectable composed of highly pure hyaluronic acid (HA). It is not a dermal filler but rather a bio-rejuvenator.
- Mechanism: Profhilo is injected into specific areas of the skin, where it disperses and stimulates the production of collagen and elastin. It hydrates the skin deeply and improves skin texture.
- Results: The treatment promotes improved skin tone, tightness, and hydration, resulting in a more youthful and radiant appearance. It is particularly effective for areas prone to skin laxity, such as the face, neck, and décolletage.
### Benefits of Skin Boosters
- Hydration: Both polynucleotides and Profhilo provide deep hydration, improving skin moisture levels.
- Natural Results: These treatments enhance the skin's natural appearance without adding volume like traditional fillers.
- Minimal Downtime: They typically involve minimal downtime, allowing individuals to resume normal activities shortly after treatment.
- Versatility: Skin boosters can be used on various areas of the body, including the face, neck, hands, and even knees.
Overall, skin boosters like polynucleotides and Profhilo are effective options for those looking to enhance skin quality, hydration, and overall appearance without invasive procedures,

Final Thoughts: Personalised Aesthetic Approach
Choosing between Hyaluronic Acid and skinbooster depends on your individual goals. If you want instant volume, hydration, and flexibility, HA fillers are a great choice.
