Skin Booster Brands: What Each Product Is and How They Differ — Istanbul
Skin boosters are injectable treatments that improve hydration, elasticity and texture rather than adding volume. Brands differ in what they contain: hyaluronic acid, hyaluronic acid with amino acids or nutrients, polynucleotides from fish DNA, or collagen. Veneta in Nişantaşı offers the products below; a physician chooses the product after a skin assessment.

How Skin Booster Brands Differ
All the products on this page are injected into the skin in small amounts, and none is meant to change the shape of the face the way a filler does. What separates them is the active ingredient. Hyaluronic acid (HA) boosters bind water in the skin; they differ in concentration, in whether the HA is cross-linked, and in additives such as glycerol, mannitol or lidocaine. HA with amino acids or nutrient complexes adds building blocks of collagen and elastin, vitamins or peptides.
Polynucleotide (PN) boosters contain purified DNA fragments from salmon or trout. They form a gel in the dermis and are often used for thin skin and the eye area. Collagen injectables contain either equine type I collagen or a recombinant fragment of the type I collagen chain. Most of these products are regulated as medical devices, and their names, variants and protocols differ by country, so each brand page below states what the manufacturer and published sources say.

How We Choose the Product at Veneta
Skin assessment
A physician looks at hydration, elasticity, texture, pigmentation and skin thickness, and asks about your goals, medical history, medicines and allergies, including fish allergy for polynucleotides.
Matching the product to the area
Thin skin around the eyes, the cheeks, the neck, the hands and acne scars may each call for a different product. More than one product can be combined in a plan.
Written plan
You receive the product name, the number of sessions and the interval, and the price in writing before treatment.
Treatment and follow-up
Injections are done in the clinic in Nişantaşı. Results build over the course; maintenance is planned according to the product's protocol.

Which Type Suits Which Concern?
For dehydrated, dull skin, hyaluronic acid boosters and HA with nutrients are the usual starting points. For thin, crêpey skin and the eye area, polynucleotides and dedicated eye products such as Rejuran i, Plinest Eye or Jalupro Young Eye are often considered. For loss of firmness, collagen injectables or Profhilo may be discussed. For depressed acne scars, options include Rejuran S, Plinest and Restylane Skinboosters, alone or with other treatments.
No single brand suits every skin, and published data differ in size and quality between products. If you prefer to avoid needles, PRX-T33 is a peel-based alternative. See also our overview of skin boosters and medical skin care.
