Looking for smoother, brighter, more hydrated skin without the heaviness of fillers? Skin boosters and polynucleotide injections are cutting-edge injectable treatments that work beneath the surface to improve skin texture, elasticity, and overall quality. At The Face Lab, I offer Profhilo, Seventy Hyal, and polynucleotide-based skin regeneration to clients across Chatteris, Cambridge, Ely, Huntingdon, Peterborough and nearby.
What Are Skin Boosters?
Skin boosters are ultra-light hyaluronic acid injections placed just beneath the skin. Unlike dermal fillers, they don’t add volume or shape. Instead, they hydrate deeply, stimulate collagen production, and improve skin elasticity and tone.
The two boosters I offer—Profhilo and Seventy Hyal—are designed to spread smoothly beneath the skin, drawing in moisture and improving skin health from the inside out.
Perfect for anyone experiencing dullness, fine lines, crepey texture, or early signs of ageing.
What Are Polynucleotide Injections?
Polynucleotides are bio-stimulatory molecules derived from purified DNA fragments. They help stimulate tissue regeneration, collagen synthesis, and cell repair. These injections improve skin elasticity, support wound healing, and are ideal for treating areas with deeper structural damage—like acne scarring, under-eye thinning, or general skin fatigue.
They are especially effective for:
- Delicate skin around the eyes
- Crepey or sun-damaged skin
- Fine lines across the neck or décolletage
- Clients not ready for filler but wanting visible skin improvement
How the Treatments Work
Each treatment begins with a detailed consultation and skin analysis. Based on your goals, I’ll recommend a booster, polynucleotide protocol—or both.
Injections are carried out using very fine needles or micro-cannulas. A full course usually involves:
- Skin Boosters: 2 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart
- Polynucleotides: 2–3 sessions spaced 3–4 weeks apart
Results appear gradually as collagen and hydration levels improve over time.

FAQs
Are these treatments the same as filler?
No. Boosters and polynucleotides work on skin quality, not volume. They’re perfect if you want to look fresher but not “done.”
How long do results last?
Results can last 6–9 months depending on the product and area. Maintenance sessions are recommended twice a year.
Which is better: Profhilo, Seventy Hyal, or polynucleotides?
They do different things. Profhilo and Seventy Hyal offer deep hydration and subtle tightening. Polynucleotides focus on cellular repair and long-term skin regeneration. I’ll help you choose the best fit.
Is it painful?
Most clients tolerate it well. Numbing cream is available, and discomfort is brief.
What areas can be treated?
Popular areas include the face, neck, décolletage, hands, and under-eye region.
Is there any downtime?
You may experience mild swelling or tiny bumps at the injection site, which usually resolve within 24–48 hours.
