Understanding Skin Revitalization
Aesthetic medicine offers various options to improve skin quality, hydration, and luminosity. Concepts like Skin Glow, Skin Boosters, and Polynucleotides refer to treatments that aim to revitalize the skin from within. Although they share the goal of healthier, more radiant skin, their mechanisms and formulations are distinct.
It's not about which is better in absolute terms, but which is most appropriate for your particular case. Every skin is unique and responds differently to active ingredients. Therefore, medical evaluation is fundamental for an informed and safe choice.
What are Skin Boosters?
Skin Boosters are injectable treatments based on non-crosslinked or lightly crosslinked hyaluronic acid. Their main objective is to deeply hydrate the skin and improve its elasticity and tone. They work by attracting and retaining water, which gives the skin a plumper appearance and a smoother texture.
They are applied through microinjections into the superficial dermis, in areas such as the face, neck, décolletage, and hands. Results are usually seen gradually, with improvements in hydration and luminosity consolidating after several sessions. They do not provide volume like traditional hyaluronic acid fillers, but rather improve the intrinsic quality of the skin.
What are Polynucleotides?
Polynucleotides are skin biostimulators derived from DNA. Their function is to stimulate cell regeneration and the natural production of collagen and elastin. This translates into improved firmness, elasticity, and tissue repair.
They are especially useful for treating mild sagging, improving skin texture, and reducing signs of aging. They can also be beneficial for the periocular area, neck, and décolletage. Their regenerative action contributes to denser, more resilient skin over time.
Skin Glow: An Approach to Luminosity
The Skin Glow treatment at Santé Clinics is designed to revitalize the skin and enhance its luminosity. This protocol aims for a "radiant skin" effect, characterized by its smoothness, uniformity, and glow. It is a comprehensive approach to restoring skin vitality.
Treatment Comparison
To facilitate understanding, we present a comparative table of the three approaches:
| Characteristic | Skin Boosters | Polynucleotides | Skin Glow |
|---|---|---|---|
| Main Active Ingredient | Non-crosslinked Hyaluronic Acid | Polynucleotides (DNA) | Revitalization protocol |
| Main Mechanism | Deep hydration, improved elasticity | Collagen and elastin biostimulation | Nutrition, luminosity, revitalization |
| Common Indications | Dehydrated, thin skin, loss of radiance | Mild sagging, loss of elasticity, texture | Dull, tired skin, seeking freshness |
| Key Results | Plump, elastic, luminous skin | Firmer, denser, regenerated skin | Radiant, even, youthful-looking skin |
| Price (approx. per session) | From 250 € | From 400 € | 179 € |

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do the effects of these treatments last?
The duration of effects varies depending on the treatment, skin type, and patient's lifestyle. Generally, Skin Boosters may require maintenance sessions every 6-12 months. Polynucleotides offer more lasting results due to their biostimulating action, with initial protocols and booster sessions. Skin Glow, being a protocol, adapts to individualized maintenance needs.
Are these procedures painful?
Most of these treatments are performed with very fine needles, and many patients tolerate them well. To minimize any discomfort, a topical anesthetic cream can be applied before the procedure. Our medical doctors are trained to perform injections as comfortably as possible.
Is there any recovery time or "down time"?
Generally, recovery time is minimal. Slight redness, small bumps, or minor bruising at the injection sites may appear, which usually disappear within a few hours or days. It is recommended to avoid direct sun exposure and intense exercise for the first 24-48 hours after treatment.
Can I combine these treatments with other aesthetic procedures?
Yes, in fact, combining treatments often offers more complete and synergistic results. For example, they can be complemented with neuromodulators for expression lines or with laser treatments to improve skin texture. The ideal combination will be determined during your medical consultation, adapting it to your comprehensive aesthetic plan.
What is the ideal age to start these treatments?
There is no fixed "ideal" age, as it depends on the individual needs of each skin. Young patients (from 25-30 years old) can benefit from these treatments as a preventive measure to maintain skin quality. At older ages, they help reverse and improve visible signs of skin aging. Prevention and maintenance are key at all stages.
