Skin Booster & Polynucleotide Treatments in Driffield

 

Hydration, glow and true skin regeneration at The Aesthetics & Beauty Lounge

Brighter, smoother, bouncier skin—no heavy filler look

At The Aesthetics & Beauty Lounge in Driffield, our Skin Booster and Polynucleotide (PN/PNN) treatments are designed to improve skin quality from within. Think deep hydration, refined texture, healthy glow, firmer bounce—without adding noticeable volume. These treatments are ideal for the face, neck, and body when you want natural-looking freshness and resilience.

 

How the treatments work

Skin Boosters (HA-based)

Skin boosters (e.g., hyaluronic-acid–based products) are ultra-soft hydrating gels placed superficially in the skin. They:

  • Bind water to restore moisture and luminosity

  • Improve fine lines, crepiness and elasticity

  • Support the skin’s barrier and plumpness without shaping your features

 

Typical plan: 2 sessions 4 weeks apart, with a top-up every 6–9 months (area and lifestyle dependent).

 

Polynucleotides (PN/PNN)

Polynucleotides are highly purified, bio-compatible DNA fragments (often fish-derived) that act as biostimulators. They:

  • Signal fibroblasts to make new collagen and elastin

  • Improve texture, tone, fine lines and skin density

  • Calm inflammation and support wound-healing processes—great for fragile zones (e.g., under-eyes) and crepey skin

 

Typical plan: 3–4 sessions, 2–4 weeks apart, with maintenance every 6–12 months.

 

Key difference: Skin boosters = hydration-first glow (results are quick). Polynucleotides = regeneration-first firmness (results build steadily).

 

Treatment areas we can refresh

Face

  • Full-face glow (cheeks, perioral, temples)

  • Under-eyes (crepiness, dullness; PN is often preferred)

  • Forehead / fine static lines

  • Smoker’s lines (upper lip) and lip hydration (subtle—not a lip “filler” look)

  • Early laxity in lower face/cheek skin

Neck & Chest

  • Crepey neck bands and décolletage sun damage/texture

Hands & Body

  • Hands (vein/texture visibility improved by hydration)

  • Upper arms, abdomen, knees, inner thighs (crepey skin)

  • Scars & stretch marks (as part of a combined plan)

We’ll guide you to the right product and technique (micro-droplet injections, mesotherapy grid, or cannula) for each area.

 

What to expect

Before

  • Consultation with medical history, photos, and a skin-quality assessment

  • Bespoke plan: number of sessions, spacing, and budget

  • Avoid alcohol, vigorous exercise 24 hours before; pause actives/retinoids on the treatment area for 2–3 days

During

  • Cleanse, optional topical anaesthetic

  • A series of very superficial micro-injections (you may see tiny blebs that settle) or a fine cannula for even placement

  • Session time: 20–45 minutes (area dependent)

After

  • Pin-prick marks/bumps for 12–48 hours (under-eyes may look puffy briefly)

  • Possible mild redness, swelling or bruising for 2–5 days

  • Avoid make-up on the area for 12–24 hours, sauna/steam/excess heat and intense exercise for 24–48 hours

  • Daily SPF 30–50 and supportive skincare recommended

 

Onset & longevity

  • Skin boosters: glow often within 3–7 days; best at 2–4 weeks; lasts ~6–9 months

  • Polynucleotides: improvements build from 4–12 weeks; longevity ~6–12 months, then maintain as advised

 

Benefits

  • Hydrates from within for lasting radiance

  • Softens fine lines, improves elasticity and bounce

  • Refines texture & pores, helps crepiness on face/neck/chest/hands

  • Under-eye friendly options (PN/PNN) for delicate skin

  • No facial “bulk”—keeps your natural shape

  • Pairs well with peels, RF microneedling, HIFU, toxin and fillers (with correct timing)

 

Considerations & possible side effects

  • Common/temporary: redness, pin-prick marks, small bumps, mild swelling/bruise, tenderness

  • Under-eye caution: risk of prolonged puffiness/malar oedema with some HA boosters—PN may be preferred; we’ll advise the safest option for your anatomy

  • Allergy considerations: PN formulas can be fish-derived—tell us about any related allergies

  • Not a volumising filler—won’t replace lost structure in cheeks/chin/jaw (can be combined with dermal fillers if needed)

  • Results are not permanent—require a course + maintenance

  • Not suitable if pregnant/breastfeeding; active skin infection; recent strong peels/laser in the area; certain autoimmune conditions/medications (case-by-case)

 

Who gets the best results?

Clients seeking better skin quality (glow, elasticity, fine lines, crepiness) rather than shape change; those willing to complete the recommended course and maintain sun protection and skincare. Under-eyes, necks, chests and hands respond particularly well with the right protocol.

 

FAQs 

1) What’s the difference between skin boosters and dermal fillers?
Skin boosters are soft, spreadable hydrators for quality and glow; fillers are shaping/volumising gels. They can complement each other but do different jobs.

2) How many sessions will I need?
Typically 2 sessions for HA skin boosters (4 weeks apart) and 3–4 sessions for polynucleotides (2–4 weeks apart), then maintenance every 6–12 months.

3) When will I see results?
Skin boosters give a quick glow (days). Polynucleotides build gradually (weeks), improving elasticity and texture over time.

4) Is there downtime?
Mostly cosmetic downtime: small bumps and possible light bruising for a few days, especially under the eyes. Many clients return to work the same or next day.

5) Can I combine these with anti-wrinkle injections or fillers?
Yes—timing matters. We often plan skin quality first, then place injectables 1–2+ weeks apart from the same area to minimise swelling and optimise results.

6) Are they safe for all skin tones and ages?
Yes—across all skin tones and a wide age range. We tailor the protocol to skin condition, area, and medical history (especially for PN/fish allergy concerns).
