What Are Injectable Treatments?
Injectable treatments are non-surgical cosmetic procedures that deliver active compounds—such as hyaluronic acid, polynucleotides, or botulinum toxin—directly into targeted skin layers or muscles. These minimally invasive techniques are performed using fine needles or cannulas and are highly effective for addressing signs of aging, skin dehydration, and loss of definition.
At Shine Dermatologist, we specialize in five advanced categories of injectable treatments:
-
Skin Hydrators: Hyaluronic acid-based injectables for deep hydration and enhanced skin texture.
-
Polynucleotide Therapy: Regenerative treatment that repairs and revitalizes damaged skin.
-
Bioremodeling Injectables: High-purity HA formulations that stimulate collagen and tighten skin.
-
Dermal Fillers: HA or calcium-based gels to restore facial volume and contour.
-
Neuromodulators: Botulinum toxin to relax facial muscles and smooth dynamic wrinkles.
Each treatment is individually customized to harmonize with your facial anatomy, delivering subtle and natural-looking improvements.
Skin Hydrators (Skinboosters)
Skin hydrators are hyaluronic acid-based injectables micro-injected into the skin to replenish hydration, improve texture, and enhance skin radiance. Unlike traditional fillers, they do not add volume but boost moisture retention and stimulate collagen production.
Key Benefits:
-
Deep hydration for luminous, supple skin
-
Smoothens rough texture and reduces pore size
-
Safe for face, neck, and décolletage
-
Gradual improvement with minimal downtime
Polynucleotide Therapy
Polynucleotide (PN) injectables, derived from DNA fragments, support skin healing by promoting cellular regeneration, reducing inflammation, and strengthening the skin barrier. Especially effective for scarred or sensitive skin.
Best For:
-
Acne scars and pigmentation
-
Sensitive or inflamed skin
-
Tired, dull complexion
Key Benefits:
-
Accelerates tissue repair and regeneration
-
Improves skin elasticity and tone
-
Suitable for all skin types
Bioremodeling Injectables
Bioremodeling treatments use high-purity, low cross-linked HA to stimulate the production of collagen, elastin, and adipocytes. Unlike localized fillers, these injectables diffuse beneath the skin for a lifting and tightening effect.
Key Benefits:
-
Treats sagging and crepey skin on the face, neck, and hands
-
Smooths fine lines and improves skin firmness
-
Requires only two sessions spaced four weeks apart
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are gel-like substances injected to replace lost volume, sculpt facial features, and soften deep wrinkles. Common treatment areas include the cheeks, lips, jawline, and under-eyes.
Key Benefits:
-
Immediate volume restoration
-
Enhances facial symmetry and definition
-
Results are reversible if needed
Neuromodulators (Botulinum Toxin)
Neuromodulators, such as botulinum toxin, are used to temporarily relax overactive facial muscles, preventing the formation of dynamic wrinkles and expression lines.
Best For:
-
Forehead creases
-
Crow’s feet
-
Glabellar frown lines
Key Benefits:
-
Prevents wrinkle deepening
-
Can achieve brow lift or jawline contouring
-
Visible effects within 1–2 weeks

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Are injectable treatments painful?
Mild discomfort is possible, but topical numbing cream or ice packs are used to ensure comfort.
How long do Skin Hydrator effects last?
Results typically last 6–12 months, depending on your skin condition and lifestyle.
Is Polynucleotide Therapy suitable for acne?
It helps repair post-acne scarring and reduce redness but is not used for active acne.
How is bioremodeling different from dermal fillers?
Bioremodeling spreads beneath the skin to lift and tighten globally; fillers add volume to specific points.
Can under-eye hollows be treated safely?
Yes, with soft HA fillers administered by experienced dermatologists.
When will I see results from neuromodulators?
Initial results appear in 3–5 days with full effect in 2 weeks.
Can treatments be combined?
Yes, for example, bioremodeling plus neuromodulators provides both lifting and wrinkle reduction.
Is Polynucleotide Therapy safe for sensitive skin?
Yes, it is biocompatible and often used for reactive skin types.
Do injectables replace topical skincare?
No, but they enhance results by working deeper within the skin.
How often do I need treatments?
Maintenance varies: Skin Hydrators every 6–12 months, fillers every 12–18 months, neuromodulators every 3–6 months.
