Skin Boosters
Polynucleotide (PN) skin boosters — Plinest (Italy) and Vitaran (Korea) — that hydrate, repair and improve overall skin quality and elasticity.
Overview
Plinest and Vitaran are injectable polynucleotide (PN) "skin boosters" — Plinest from Italy, Vitaran from Korea. Both hydrate the skin and stimulate its own repair and regeneration. Rather than adding volume, they improve skin quality: hydration, elasticity, tone and texture.
Polynucleotides work by supporting the skin's fibroblasts — the cells that produce collagen and elastin — helping tired, dull skin look fresher and more resilient. It's a gentle treatment with minimal downtime, and pairs well with other skin boosters and aesthetic treatments.
Plinest and Vitaran work the same way with the same aim — the main difference is the country of origin. We'll recommend the one that best suits your skin and goals.
Key benefits
- Deep skin hydration
- Improved elasticity and resilience
- Better tone and texture
- Supports the skin's own collagen and elastin
- Natural result — no added volume
- Minimal downtime
Best for
- Dull, tired or dehydrated skin
- Early signs of ageing
- Improving overall skin quality
How it works
Polynucleotides are placed into the skin, where they wake up the fibroblasts — the cells that build collagen and elastin — so the skin repairs and hydrates itself.
Aftercare & downtime
Minimal — small bumps at the injection points settle quickly and most people return to normal activity the same day.
Frequently asked questions
Is Plinest a filler?
No — it's a skin booster. It improves skin quality and hydration rather than adding volume.
How is it different from Profhilo?
Both improve skin quality. Profhilo is a hyaluronic-acid bio-remodelling treatment; Plinest is a polynucleotide that focuses on regeneration and repair. We'll advise which suits you.
How many sessions will I need?
Usually a short course — confirmed at your consultation.
