I’m pleased to announce that I am now offering Skin Boosters and Polynucleotide Injections at The Face Lab – two of the most advanced and in-demand treatments for skin rejuvenation available today. These new options are now part of my service menu, giving clients in Chatteris, Cambridge, Ely, Huntingdon, Peterborough, and surrounding areas even more ways to achieve healthier, firmer, and more radiant skin. If you’re looking for clinically proven, modern solutions to refresh your appearance, these treatments may be exactly what you’ve been waiting for.
Understanding Skin Boosters
Skin boosters are injectable treatments designed to deeply hydrate and improve the quality of your skin. Unlike traditional fillers, skin boosters do not add volume or alter facial structure. Instead, they use stabilised hyaluronic acid – a substance naturally found in your skin – to enhance hydration, smoothness, and elasticity.
How Skin Boosters Work
Hyaluronic acid attracts and retains moisture within the skin. By injecting it in small, precise amounts, skin boosters restore hydration, improve skin texture, and support your skin’s natural regeneration process. This treatment is suitable for the face, neck, décolletage, and hands.
Key Benefits of Skin Boosters
- Deep, long-lasting hydration
- Smoother, firmer skin texture
- Reduction in fine lines and crepiness
- Subtle, natural-looking results
- Suitable for various areas of the face and body
Understanding Polynucleotide Treatments
Polynucleotide injections are an advanced regenerative treatment. Polynucleotides are biocompatible molecules derived from DNA fragments that encourage tissue repair and regeneration at a cellular level. This process helps improve skin quality, firmness, and elasticity.
How Polynucleotide Treatments Work
Polynucleotides stimulate fibroblast activity, which in turn increases collagen and elastin production. The result is improved skin structure and a reduction in visible signs of aging. Polynucleotide treatments are often chosen for delicate areas, including around the eyes and mouth, but can also be used on the face, neck, décolletage, and hands.
Key Benefits of Polynucleotides
- Offers long-term, progressive results
- Stimulates natural skin regeneration
- Improves elasticity and firmness
- Reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity
- Brightens dull complexions
The Treatment Process
Every treatment at The Face Lab starts with a thorough consultation to assess your skin concerns and goals. I will discuss your options, explain the science behind each treatment, and recommend a plan tailored specifically for you.
During the Procedure
Both skin boosters and polynucleotide injections involve a series of small injections using a fine needle. A topical numbing cream may be applied to ensure your comfort. The procedure typically takes around 30–45 minutes, depending on the area treated.
Aftercare and Results
- Skin Boosters: Most clients notice improved hydration and glow within 1–2 weeks. Results can last 6–9 months with maintenance sessions.
- Polynucleotides: Improvements in skin texture, elasticity, and brightness typically become visible within a few weeks and continue to develop over several months.
Side effects for both treatments are generally mild and may include temporary redness, swelling, or small bumps at the injection sites. These effects usually resolve within a day or two.
Safety and Efficacy
Skin boosters (such as Profhilo and Seventy Hyal) and polynucleotide injections are widely used across Europe and the UK and have strong safety records when administered by qualified professionals. Both treatments are suitable for a range of ages and skin types, but a full medical assessment will always be carried out before your treatment.
FAQs
How many sessions will I need?
Most skin booster treatments involve an initial course of two to three sessions, four weeks apart, with top-ups every 6–9 months. Polynucleotide treatments often require two to three sessions for optimal results, with maintenance as needed.
Are these treatments safe?
Yes, both skin boosters and polynucleotides are considered safe when administered by a trained, qualified practitioner. All products used are CE-marked and clinically tested.
Is there downtime?
Both treatments have minimal downtime. Most clients return to daily activities immediately after the procedure.
Who is suitable for these treatments?
Most healthy adults are suitable, but these treatments are not recommended if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have certain allergies or active skin conditions.
