In the ever-evolving world of skincare and haircare, we're constantly searching for the next best thing to keep our skin radiant and our hair luscious. You might have heard of Botox, fillers, and serums, but what about the latest regenerative therapies — polynucleotides, exosomes, and skin boosters? These terms might sound like something out of a sci-fi movie, but they’re actually cutting-edge treatments making waves in dermatology and aesthetic medicine.
Whether you’re looking to reduce wrinkles, improve skin hydration, or revive thinning hair, understanding how these three marvels work can help you make informed decisions for your beauty routine. So, let’s dive into what makes polynucleotides, exosomes, and skin boosters stand out and how they can work wonders for your skin and hair.

Polynucleotides: The Cellular Repair Agents
Polynucleotides may not be a term you’re familiar with, but they play a powerful role in skin rejuvenation. Simply put, polynucleotides are chains of nucleotides, which are the building blocks of DNA and RNA. In skincare, they’re used to repair damaged skin cells and support tissue regeneration.
How do they work?
Polynucleotides stimulate the skin’s repair mechanisms by promoting cell growth and regeneration. They act like a "repair kit," helping to heal skin that’s been damaged by the sun, pollution, or aging. When injected into the skin, polynucleotides enhance hydration and improve skin elasticity, leading to a plumper, healthier appearance.
They work to increase the production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid.
They stimulate cell production, induce angiogenesis (blood supply), inhibit melanogenesis (pigmentation), have an anti-inflammatory effect and restore the activity of fibroblasts which are crucial in the structure of the skin.
They are applied by small injections and pair very well with other aesthetic treatments such as PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma).
Uses in Skin and Hair:
Skin: Polynucleotide-based treatments can improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, and accelerate the healing of scars or damaged tissue. They have uses in imporving pigmentation and are particularly effective for people looking for a non-invasive solution to signs of aging or those recovering from cosmetic procedures.
Hair: Polynucleotides can also be used in scalp treatments to stimulate hair follicle growth; optimising the ability of the hair follicule to produce more hair. For individuals experiencing hair thinning or early stages of hair loss, this can help revive and strengthen hair from the roots.

Exosomes: The Tiny Messengers of Regeneration
Exosomes are a relatively new buzzword in aesthetics, but their potential is enormous. They are tiny vesicles, or “packages,” released by cells that carry important signals and molecules, such as growth factors and proteins, to other cells. Think of them as the postal service of your body’s cells—delivering vital instructions for repair and rejuvenation.
How do they work?
When applied to the skin or scalp, exosomes act like little messengers that communicate with the body’s cells, triggering processes like cell repair, regeneration, and inflammation reduction. They essentially help "turn on" the body’s natural healing powers, leading to improved skin texture and increased hair growth.
They are applied by microneedling and pair very well with other aesthetic treatments such as PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma).
Uses in Skin and Hair:
Skin: Exosome treatments can stimulate collagen production, leading to smoother, firmer skin. They are highly effective in reducing acne scars, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation.
Hair: When used in hair treatments, exosomes can stimulate dormant hair follicles, encouraging new hair growth. This makes them an excellent option for people dealing with hair loss, as they can help regrow and thicken hair naturally.

Skin Boosters: The Hydration Heroes
Unlike polynucleotides and exosomes, which focus more on repairing and regenerating cells, **skin boosters** are all about hydration. Think of them as an intensive moisturizer delivered directly under the skin. Skin boosters are made from hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that can hold up to 1000 times its weight in water, making it a powerhouse for hydration.
How do they work?
Skin boosters are injected into the dermis, the deeper layer of the skin, where they work to attract and retain moisture. This deep hydration improves the overall texture and elasticity of the skin, giving it a radiant, dewy appearance. Unlike traditional fillers, which are used to add volume, skin boosters focus solely on improving the skin’s quality.
Thee volumising effect is temporary as the body removes the product soon in the days after, but the results are long-term, giving rejuvenation to the treated area.
Uses in Skin and Hair:
Skin: Skin boosters are perfect for anyone looking to give their skin a hydration boost. They are especially effective for treating fine lines, dry patches, and dull, tired-looking skin. You’ll notice an immediate improvement in skin smoothness and glow after treatment.
Hair: While skin boosters are primarily used on the face, they can also benefit the scalp. A well-hydrated scalp can lead to stronger, healthier hair and reduce the risk of dandruff or irritation. We offer hyaluronic acid-based boosters to nourish the scalp and improve hair quality; and it can be particularly helpful for dry damaged hair.

How Do They Compare?
So, now that we’ve explored each treatment, how do they compare, and which one should you choose?
Polynucleotides: Best for people looking to repair damaged skin or stimulate hair growth. Think of it as a treatment that helps your skin or scalp regenerate and heal itself.
Exosomes: Ideal for anyone seeking powerful, science-backed skin and hair regeneration. These tiny messengers are perfect for those with early signs of aging or hair thinning and offer a more natural, holistic approach to rejuvenation. Also the best option if individual injections are not your thing!
Skin Boosters: The go-to option if you’re focused on hydration and improving skin texture. Perfect for those who want a natural glow and better skin quality without looking like they’ve had “work done.”

While all three treatments—polynucleotides, exosomes, and skin boosters—offer unique benefits, they don’t necessarily compete with one another. In fact, they can be complementary depending on your goals. We offer personalised skin treatment plans combining treatments, where exosomes can be paired with polynucleotides or skin boosters for a comprehensive approach to skin and hair health.
Choosing the right treatment depends on your specific needs. Whether you're looking to restore youthful skin, improve hair growth, or simply boost hydration, these cutting-edge treatments are worth considering. Consult with us to determine the best solution for your individual concerns.
With the power of science on your side, achieving radiant skin and healthy hair is no longer a far-fetched dream—it’s well within reach, thanks to polynucleotides, exosomes, and skin boosters!
