What the gurus are saying

Experts prize skin boosters for their genuine results, though they're gradual: they work by prompting your own collagen production, with effects deepening over several months. The catch is that results depend heavily on practitioner skill and protocol, and the cost is steep. Most reach for them when an area needs deeper rebuilding (tech neck, deep lines) where less invasive options fall short, though some remain skeptical the money's worth it.

“A 2025 systematic review comparing PRP and PRF for the perorbital area found that PRF showed promise for improving texture, wrinkles, and crepiness. But importantly, the review concluded that there wasn't enough evidence to say one treatment is universally superior to the other.”

“radies is a much firmer filler known as polylactic acid which is a substance found in our bones um it has also been shown to have stimulatory effects and when you dilute that and you inject it superficially in addition to other treatments that I mentioned like althera it has shown to really help promote collagen production”

“If someone's looking for deeper collagen stimulation on the chest or they're really bothered by a lot of vertical lines I find lasers to be a lot less helpful with that In those cases I'm usually reaching for a collagen stimulating injectable like Sculptra or RADS which is going to help build a deeper strength and integrity to the skin”

“injecting polynucleotides within the area and I I get of course over the face because it gives a nice result and also think if you don't have act um if you don't have access to polynucleotides then think traditional traditional methods such as PRP and prf that do stimulate bone production and reduce bone resorption can also be used too”
