In fact, Skin Booster is considered one subgroup of Biostimulators. They are not separate categories.
Biostimulator is a broad term for injectable substances that stimulate the body to produce collagen or skin components on its own. It covers several groups of substances, such as:
- PLLA (Poly-L-Lactic Acid), such as Sculptra
- PCL (Polycaprolactone), such as Ellansé
- PN/Polynucleotide, such as Plinest and Rejuran
Skin Booster usually refers to a subgroup of Biostimulators that mainly focuses on restoring hydration and skin quality, especially the PN group, which has high water-loving properties. This differs from Biostimulators such as PLLA or PCL, which mainly focus on stimulating collagen to improve volume and firmness of facial structure.
“Dr. Pun explains it simply: Biostimulator is a broad term that covers all types of collagen-stimulating substances, while Skin Booster is a subgroup that especially focuses on skin quality and hydration.”
