When Your Skin Stops Responding to Topical Skincare
As skin ages, it loses its ability to retain moisture and produce collagen at the same rate as before. The result: persistent dryness, a loss of plumpness, fine lines that deepen despite regular skincare, and a dull, uneven complexion that serums and creams can no longer adequately address.
This is because topical products work on the skin’s surface. Skin booster injections work within the dermis — the deeper structural layer where hydration, elasticity, and collagen production are regulated.
A medical consultation is the appropriate first step to understanding which option, if any, is suitable for your skin concerns.
Understanding Skin Booster Injections in Malaysia
Skin boosters are injectable treatments administered directly into the dermis. Unlike dermal fillers, which are used to add volume or reshape facial contours, skin boosters are designed to improve the intrinsic quality of the skin itself — addressing hydration, texture, elasticity, and tone from within.
Different skin booster formulations work through different mechanisms:
- Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Skin Boosters deliver hyaluronic acid into the dermis to attract and retain moisture, stimulate collagen and elastin production, and improve overall skin hydration and firmness.
- PDRN / Polynucleotide (PN) Skin Boosters utilise polynucleotides derived from purified salmon DNA to promote collagen synthesis, support tissue repair, and address skin ageing at a cellular level.
Individual results vary. Treatment suitability and formulation selection are assessed by a doctor during consultation.
Skin Booster Options Discussed During Consultation in Malaysia
The following formulations may be discussed during your consultation, depending on your skin concerns, skin type, and treatment goals. Your doctor will advise on which option is clinically appropriate for you.
| Formulation | Primary Mechanism | Commonly Discussed For |
|---|---|---|
| Rejuran | PDRN/PN from purified salmon DNA — promotes collagen synthesis and tissue repair | Skin texture, fine lines, acne scarring, skin quality improvement |
| Profhilo | High and low molecular-weight HA — deep hydration, collagen and elastin stimulation | Dehydrated skin, loss of elasticity, skin laxity |
| Juvelook | HA combined with poly-D, L-lactic acid (PDLLA) — immediate hydration with delayed collagen stimulation | Skin hydration, fine lines, overall skin quality |
| PDRN Skin Booster | Polydeoxyribonucleotide — collagen synthesis, anti-inflammatory, skin repair | Skin ageing, dull skin, post-inflammatory concerns |
| Hyaluronic Acid Skin Booster | Intradermal HA for hydration and elasticity | Dry skin, dull complexion, fine lines |
| Polynucleotide Skin Booster | PN-based biorevitalisation | Mature or ageing skin, skin quality, texture |
This table is for general informational purposes. Formulation availability and suitability are discussed during your medical consultation.
How Skin Booster Injections Work
Hyaluronic Acid Skin Boosters: Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the skin responsible for retaining moisture. When injected intradermally, HA-based skin boosters attract water molecules within the dermis, improving skin hydration and plumpness. Formulations such as Profhilo, which combine high- and low-molecular-weight HA, additionally stimulate collagen and elastin production — addressing both surface hydration and deeper structural skin quality.
PDRN and Polynucleotide Skin Boosters: PDRN (polydeoxyribonucleotide) and PN (polynucleotide) are bioactive compounds derived from purified salmon or trout DNA.
Your Skin Booster Consultation and Treatment
Step 1
Medical Consultation
A doctor assesses your skin condition, hydration levels, skin quality concerns, and medical history. You will be advised whether a skin booster is appropriate, and if so, which formulation and treatment course is most suitable for your specific concerns.
Step 2
Pre-Treatment Preparation
A topical numbing cream is typically applied to the treatment area before the session begins to minimise discomfort during injection.
Step 3
Treatment Session
The skin booster is administered via a series of small, superficial injections into the dermis. The procedure is performed by a doctor. Treatment duration depends on the area covered and formulation used.
Step 4
Immediately After Treatment
Small injection points, mild swelling, redness, or bruising may be visible after treatment. These effects typically resolve within 24–72 hours. Your doctor provides personalised aftercare guidance.
Step 5
Progressive Improvement
Skin booster results develop gradually as the formulation integrates into the dermis and stimulates the skin’s natural regenerative processes. Visible improvements in hydration, glow, and texture are typically noticed within 2–4 weeks of treatment. A course of sessions is usually recommended for optimal outcomes.
Typical treatment course and session intervals are discussed and agreed during your consultation. Maintenance sessions may be recommended as part of a longer-term plan.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a skin booster injection and how does it differ from a filler?
Skin boosters are injected into the dermis to improve the intrinsic quality of the skin — addressing hydration, texture, elasticity, and collagen production. They are not designed to add volume or reshape facial contours, which is the primary purpose of dermal fillers. The two are clinically distinct treatments with different mechanisms and indications.
What is the difference between Rejuran and Profhilo?
Rejuran is a PDRN/polynucleotide-based formulation derived from purified salmon DNA, primarily used to support collagen synthesis and tissue repair. Profhilo is a pure hyaluronic acid formulation designed to deeply hydrate the skin and stimulate collagen and elastin production. Both are injectable skin boosters but work through different mechanisms. Your doctor will advise which is more appropriate for your specific concerns.
What is PDRN and is it safe?
PDRN (polydeoxyribonucleotide) is a bioactive compound derived from purified salmon or trout DNA. It has been studied in published peer-reviewed literature for its role in collagen synthesis, tissue repair, and anti-inflammatory effects in aesthetic dermatology. Its safety profile in aesthetic applications has been described as favourable in published reviews, though suitability is assessed individually during a medical consultation.
How many skin booster sessions will I need in Malaysia?
This is determined by your doctor during consultation based on your skin condition and treatment goals. As a general reference, most treatment courses involve 2–3 initial sessions, followed by maintenance sessions as recommended by your doctor. Session intervals vary by formulation.
What is the skin booster price / harga in Malaysia?
Pricing varies by formulation, treatment area, and your individual plan. It is discussed transparently during your medical consultation before any commitment is made. Please contact our team or visit any AM Aesthetics location for further information.
Is skin booster treatment painful?
A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment to minimise discomfort. Most patients tolerate the procedure well. Comfort levels vary between individuals and are discussed with your doctor before treatment begins.
What is the downtime for skin booster treatment?
Most patients experience minimal downtime. Small injection points or mild localised swelling may be visible for up to 24–48 hours. Most patients resume normal activities on the same day. Your doctor will provide aftercare guidance based on the specific formulation used.
Can a skin booster be combined with other treatments?
Skin boosters can be considered alongside other aesthetic treatments such as pico laser for pigmentation or HIFU for skin laxity. Whether combination treatment is appropriate for you is assessed by your doctor during consultation.
Is skin booster suitable for mature skin in Malaysia?
Skin boosters have been studied across a range of patient ages and skin conditions. Whether a particular formulation is appropriate for your skin type, age, and concerns is assessed individually during your medical consultation.
What is the difference between a glass skin treatment and a skin booster?
“Glass skin” is a colloquial term describing a highly hydrated, smooth, and luminous skin appearance. Skin booster treatments address the underlying dermal conditions — hydration deficit, reduced elasticity, and collagen loss — that contribute to a dull or uneven complexion. Whether a skin booster is appropriate for your skin goals is discussed during consultation.
