When it comes to achieving radiant, hydrated, and youthful skin, the options can seem overwhelming. At SkinViva, we offer a range of advanced injectable treatments designed to boost hydration, stimulate collagen, and rejuvenate your skin. But with so many choices, including Profhilo, Jalupro, PRP, Hydro/Hydromax, Polynucleotides, and more – how do you know which is right for you?
Here’s your ultimate guide to understanding the key differences and benefits of each treatment so you can make an informed decision.
Profhilo: The Ultimate Injectable Hydration BoostBest for: Quick hydration and skin glow with minimal downtime.
Profhilo is a game-changer when it comes to deep hydration. Made from high concentrations of hyaluronic acid (HA), it spreads evenly under the skin, attracting water molecules and giving your face a natural, dewy glow. It’s perfect for those who need a quick skin boost before a special event, like a wedding or a party. Profhilo improves skin elasticity and reduces fine lines but doesn’t add volume or structural support. This treatment is administered with a needle and not a cannula. Results can last around 6 months.
Hydro & Hydromax: Hybrid Skin Boosters with Added StructureBest for: Hydration plus collagen stimulation and subtle lifting.
If you love the idea of Profhilo but want something with a little extra support, Hydro and Hydromax are excellent choices. These hybrid boosters not only provide deep hydration but also stimulate collagen production for long-term skin improvement. Hydromax, in particular, offers structural support alongside hydration, making it the best option for those who want a firmer, plumper look in addition to smoother skin. This treatment will give a little bit of volume and is particularly good at treating cheek and lower face wrinkles.
Jalupro: Collagen-Stimulating Amino Acid TherapyBest for: Those who want scientifically backed collagen stimulation.
Jalupro is packed with amino acids that feed your skin’s fibroblasts, the cells responsible for collagen production. While it has extensive clinical backing and makes sense scientifically, the visible results can sometimes be more subtle compared to other boosters. It works well for long-term collagen support and hydration, but if you’re looking for an immediate “wow” factor, other options may be more suitable. Jalupro Young Eye is a product that is great at treating pigmentation under the eye with minimal downtime.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma): Harnessing Your Body’s Own Growth FactorsBest for: Natural skin regeneration and healing.
PRP is often referred to as the “Vampire Facial” because it uses your own blood to rejuvenate your skin. By extracting and injecting platelet-rich plasma, this treatment stimulates healing, increases collagen production, and improves skin texture. It’s particularly great for those looking to reduce scars, fine lines, and signs of aging using a completely natural method. PRP is an excellent choice for those who want long-term skin regeneration without synthetic ingredients. This is also a great treatment to stimulate hair growth.
Polynucleotides: The Next Level in Skin RegenerationBest for: Deep cellular repair and anti-aging at a biological level.
Polynucleotides aren’t just a skin booster – they work on a completely different level. Rather than just hydrating, they actively stimulate fibroblast activity, repair damaged DNA, and improve skin function from within. They also have wound-healing properties and antioxidant benefits, making them ideal for aging or damaged skin – they help to reduce acne scarring and rosacea. Polynucleotides are an excellent first step to prepare the skin for further treatments or can be used on their own for profound skin rejuvenation.
Best for: Deep collagen stimulation without adding volume.
Sculptra contains poly-L-lactic acid, a powerful collagen stimulator that enhances skin structure and firmness over time. Unlike traditional fillers, it doesn’t add immediate volume but instead works gradually to rebuild the skin’s foundation. It’s perfect for those looking to restore youthful skin density and elasticity for longer-term results. Sculptra can be used in many different ways to enable differing results, such as giving the skin structural support which in turn lifts the vectors of the face.
NeoGen: Skin Rejuvenation Without NeedlesBest for: Non-injectable, high-tech skin regeneration.
NeoGen is different from the rest – it’s not an injectable treatment. Instead, it uses plasma technology to regenerate the skin at a cellular level, similar to how polynucleotides work but without needles. It improves skin elasticity, tightens pores, and stimulates collagen for a completely refreshed appearance. If you’re looking for powerful results without injections, NeoGen is the way to go.
