Profhilo Skin Boosters vs. Polynucleotides

The world of aesthetics and Skincare is continually evolving with increasingly sophisticated technologies. medical-grade skincare and advanced, rejuvenating injectable products are becoming accessible for those seeking radiant and glowing skin without resorting to invasive surgical procedures. 

Whether it be a Hyaluronic Acid Skin Booster such as Profhilo or Definisse Hydro-booster or the relatively new type of injectables known as Polynucleotides, these ‘regenerative’ treatments can address a wide range of skin concerns, let’s take a closer look at how these fantastic products can work for you! 

Profhilo

Profhilo, known as the “moisture-boosting injectable“, employs revolutionary technology to enhance skin hydration and quality. It’s unique combination of high and low molecular weight hyaluronic acid promises to stimulate collagen production and improve skin elasticity. The ‘first of its kind‘ Profhilo really has won a place in the hearts of the many who have tried it and love its ability to give deep hydration and a subtle plumping effect. 

Definisse Hydrobooster

The new Definisse Hydrobooster is a mesotherapy treatment that combines the established clinical benefits of hyaluronic alongside glycerol to improve skin hydration, tone and elasticity. Although Definisse is a hyaluronic acid like Profhilo, it differs in that it can be injected into the more delicate areas of the face, such as the eye area, forehead and around the mouth. It is an incredibly versatile product and can improve the skin’s appearance on virtually any part of the body.

Polynucleotides

Polynucleotides, or “PDRN therapy,” utilises DNA fragments to regenerate tired and damaged skin at a cellular level, claiming to accelerate tissue repair, reduce wrinkles, and promote a brighter complexion. Although relatively new to the aesthetics industry, Polynucleotides have been used safely in the medical world since the 1950s when they were discovered to be beneficial in aiding the healing of burns and wounds.   

Harnessing the power of polymerised polynucleotides derived from salmon DNA, Polynucleotides accelerate tissue repair through DNA fragments to help repair and rebuild skin from within. They are powerful in strengthening delicate, ‘crepey’ skin, improving the skin’s thickness and resulting in a firmer and smoother skin surface texture, reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles and promoting a brighter complexion.

Due to their anti-inflammatory properties, Polynucleotides have also been shown to treat the inflammation seen in those with rosacea successfully. They can also play a role in helping to calm skin prone to pigmentation and scarring. This innovative technology is at the forefront of skin rejuvenation and regenerative medicine.

Comparing the two treatments

When comparing these treatments, both Profhilo and Definisse Hydrobooster excel in hydration and collagen stimulation, which is ideal for dry or dehydrated skin. Polynucleotides shine in repairing damaged or crepey skin, improving scars, wrinkles, and uneven texture. Regardless of which is most suitable to address your concerns, a course of treatment is required for optimum results. 

Side effects from these treatments include the possibility of bruising from the injections, redness and some swelling. Clients having these procedures may have noticeable swelling and small lumps at the injection points for several days after the procedure. This is normal and will settle. 

Client testimonials reveal positive experiences with both treatments, with Profhilo and Definisse praised for natural-looking results and Polynucleotides for noticeable improvements in laxity and wrinkles.

Cost

The cost of Profhilo and Polynucleotides varies based on location, clinic reputation, the practitioner and the number of sessions required.

Consulting a qualified practitioner is crucial before deciding on a treatment. The consultation process involves assessing skin conditions, discussing goals, and determining the most suitable treatment.
