With so many advanced skin treatments available today, it’s no surprise that one of the most common questions we hear at Crystalline Clinic is:
“Which skin treatment do I need?”
Skin boosters, Profhilo, polynucleotides, microneedling, Botox, peels — they all sound effective, but they’re designed to treat different skin concerns. Choosing the wrong treatment can lead to underwhelming results, while the right plan can completely transform your skin.
This practitioner-led guide will help you understand what your skin really needs, based on concerns, skin condition, and long-term goals — not trends.
Start With the Right Question: What Is Your Main Skin Concern?
The biggest mistake people make is choosing a treatment based on what’s popular rather than what their skin needs.
At Crystalline, we always begin with one question:
Is your concern hydration, texture, firmness, pigmentation, ageing, or overall skin quality?
Let’s break this down.
If Your Skin Feels Dry, Dull or Dehydrated
👉 You may need: Skin Boosters
If your skin looks tired, lacks glow, or feels tight even with good skincare, dehydration is often the root cause.
Skin boosters are injectable hyaluronic acid treatments designed to deeply hydrate the skin from within. They do not add volume or change facial shape — they simply improve skin quality.
Skin boosters are ideal if:
- Your skin looks dull or tired
- Makeup sits poorly
- Fine lines are more visible due to dryness
- You want a natural, fresh glow
- You’re new to injectables
Results:
Immediate hydration, smoother texture, and a healthy glow that improves over several weeks.
If Your Skin Is Losing Firmness or Elasticity
👉 You may need: Profhilo
If your concern is mild sagging, crepey skin, or loss of firmness — especially around the cheeks, jawline or neck — hydration alone may not be enough.
Profhilo is a biostimulator that spreads beneath the skin and stimulates collagen and elastin production. It improves skin laxity, not volume.
Profhilo is ideal if:
- Your skin feels less firm
- You’re noticing early signs of ageing
- The jawline looks softer
- The neck or lower face looks crepey
- You want lift without filler
Results:
Firmer, tighter, more elastic skin that looks refreshed but not “done”.
If Your Skin Is Damaged, Sensitive or Ageing Prematurely
👉 You may need: Polynucleotides
Polynucleotides are one of the most advanced regenerative treatments available today. Instead of hydrating or lifting, they repair skin at a cellular level.
They are especially effective for fragile, inflamed or ageing skin.
Polynucleotides are ideal if:
- You have under-eye darkness or crepey skin
- Your skin feels thin or damaged
- You have acne scarring
- Your skin is sensitive or inflamed
- You want long-term skin regeneration
They are also one of the safest injectable treatments for the under-eye area.
Results:
Gradual improvement in skin strength, texture, brightness and resilience.
If Your Main Concern Is Texture, Pores or Acne Scarring
👉 You may need: Microneedling or Combination Treatments
When the issue is uneven texture, enlarged pores or scarring, injectable hydration alone may not be enough.
Microneedling stimulates collagen by creating controlled micro-injuries, encouraging the skin to repair itself.
At Crystalline, we often combine microneedling with:
- Skin boosters
- Polynucleotides
- Targeted medical-grade skincare
Best for:
- Acne scarring
- Rough or uneven texture
- Enlarged pores
- Early signs of ageing
Results:
Smoother, more refined skin over a series of treatments.
If Your Concern Is Fine Lines or Expression Wrinkles
👉 You may need: Anti-Wrinkle Injections
If lines appear mainly when you move your face — such as frown lines, forehead lines or crow’s feet — the issue is muscle activity, not skin quality.
Botox relaxes targeted muscles to soften lines while preserving natural expression when done correctly.
Ideal if:
- Lines appear when you frown or smile
- Makeup settles into lines
- You want preventative anti-ageing
- You prefer subtle, natural results
Results:
Smoother skin, refreshed appearance, and prevention of deeper wrinkles.
Do You Need Just One Treatment?
In most cases — no.
The best results come from a tailored treatment plan, not a single session.
For example:
- Skin boosters + Profhilo = hydration + firmness
- Polynucleotides + microneedling = regeneration + texture improvement
- Botox + skin boosters = smooth lines + glow
This layered approach delivers results that look natural, balanced and long-lasting.
Why a Practitioner-Led Assessment Matters
Online quizzes and social media trends can’t assess:
- Skin thickness
- Elasticity
- Inflammation
- Ageing patterns
- Lifestyle factors
At Crystalline Clinic, every consultation includes a full skin assessment so treatments are chosen based on your skin, not marketing.
This prevents:
- Over-treatment
- Wasted money
- Results that don’t last
- An unnatural appearance
How Often Do Skin Treatments Need Maintenance?
| Treatment | Typical Course | Maintenance |
|---|---|---|
| Skin Boosters | 2–3 sessions | Every 4–6 months |
| Profhilo | 2 sessions | Every 6 months |
| Polynucleotides | 2–4 sessions | 1–2 times per year |
| Botox | 1 session | Every 3–4 months |
| Microneedling | 3–6 sessions | As needed |
This is why many clients choose a Crystalline membership, allowing consistent maintenance without overdoing treatments.
