Understanding Microfillers: Rejuran, Juvelook, Sunekos, and Skin Boosters Explained
Understanding Microfillers: Rejuran, Juvelook, Sunekos, and Skin Boosters Explained
If you've been researching aesthetic treatments, you've probably encountered terms like "skin boosters," "microfillers," "biostimulators," and brand names like Rejuran, Juvelook, and Sunekos. But what exactly are these treatments? How do they differ from traditional Botox and dermal fillers? And most importantly—which one is right for your skin concerns?
The world of cosmetic injectables has evolved dramatically. Today's patients aren't just looking for wrinkle reduction or volume—they want healthier, more radiant, naturally youthful skin from the inside out. That's where the new generation of skin quality treatments comes in.
At 1 Health, we've carefully selected evidence-based microfillers and skin boosters that deliver real, lasting results. Let's break down exactly what these treatments are, how they work, and what you can expect.
What Are Microfillers and Skin Boosters?
Microfillers and skin boosters are injectable treatments designed to improve your skin's internal biology—not just its surface appearance. Unlike traditional dermal fillers that add volume to specific areas, or Botox that relaxes muscles, these treatments work at the cellular level to:
- Stimulate collagen and elastin production (your skin's structural proteins)
- Deeply hydrate the dermal layer (not just surface moisture)
- Improve skin texture, tone, and elasticity
- Reduce fine lines and crepiness
- Enhance overall skin quality and radiance
Think of them as "injectable skincare"—working from within to trigger your skin's own repair and rejuvenation processes.
The Key Philosophy Shift
Traditional aesthetics: "What can we add or freeze to change your appearance?"
Modern skin quality treatments: "How can we help your skin function better and look healthier naturally?"
This represents a fundamental shift toward treating skin health rather than just masking aging signs.
How Do They Differ From Botox and Traditional Fillers?
| Treatment Type | Microfillers / Skin Boosters | Dermal Fillers | Anti-Wrinkle (Botox/Dysport/Xeomin) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary mechanism | Collagen stimulation, hydration, cellular regeneration | Volume replacement, structural support | Muscle relaxation |
| Main ingredients | Polynucleotides (PDRN), amino acids, non-crosslinked HA, PDLLA biostimulators | Crosslinked hyaluronic acid gels (dense, viscous) | Botulinum toxin type A |
| Primary effect | Improved texture, elasticity, glow, fine line reduction | Cheek lift, lip volume, jaw contouring, wrinkle filling | Smoothing of expression lines |
| How it works | Stimulates fibroblasts → increases collagen/elastin production | Physically fills space, provides immediate structure | Blocks nerve signals to muscles |
| Result type | Gradual, natural improvement in skin quality | Immediate structural change | Gradual smoothing over 5-10 days |
| Best for | Overall skin health, texture, radiance, fine lines, delicate areas | Volume loss, deep folds, facial contouring | Forehead lines, frown lines, crow's feet |
| Treatment areas | Full face, neck, décolletage, under-eyes, hands | Cheeks, lips, nasolabial folds, chin, jawline | Forehead, glabella (frown), crow's feet |
| Downtime | Minimal---pinpoint swelling/redness 1-2 days | Moderate---swelling/bruising 3-7 days | Minimal---possible small bruises |
| Duration | 6-12 months (varies by product) | 9-18 months (varies by product and area) | 3-4 months |
| Results timeline | Progressive over 4-8 weeks | Immediate (though final settling 2 weeks) | 5-14 days |
The bottom line: These are complementary treatments, not competitors. Many patients combine all three for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
The Science: How Microfillers Actually Work
Mechanism 1: Collagen Biostimulation
Your skin's aging process:
- From age 25+, you lose approximately 1% of collagen per year
- By age 50, you've lost ~25-30% of your collagen
- Environmental damage (UV, pollution, smoking) accelerates collagen breakdown
- Result: thinner skin, wrinkles, sagging, loss of elasticity
How microfillers reverse this:
- Injectable polynucleotides (PDRN), amino acids, or PDLLA particles stimulate fibroblast cells
- Fibroblasts are your skin's "collagen factories"
- Activated fibroblasts produce new collagen Type I and elastin
- New structural proteins rebuild skin thickness, firmness, and bounce
- Results are cumulative and natural-looking
Clinical evidence: Studies show 20-40% increase in dermal collagen density after 3-4 treatment sessions, measured via ultrasound and histology.
Mechanism 2: Deep Dermal Hydration
Traditional moisturizers: Work on the surface (stratum corneum) and evaporate within hours
Hyaluronic acid in skin boosters:
- Injected into the mid-to-deep dermis (where natural HA lives)
- Each HA molecule holds up to 1,000x its weight in water
- Creates a "water reservoir" in your skin's deeper layers
- Hydration lasts weeks to months (not hours)
- Skin appears plumper, more radiant, and dewy
Clinical evidence: Significant improvement in skin hydration measurements (via corneometer) lasting 3-6 months post-treatment.
Mechanism 3: Cellular Regeneration & Repair
Polynucleotides (PDRN) specifically:
- Are DNA fragments that act as signaling molecules
- Promote cellular turnover and wound healing
- Reduce inflammation and oxidative stress
- Improve microcirculation in the dermis
- Support overall skin health and resilience
Result: Not just cosmetic improvement, but genuinely healthier, more resilient skin.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How painful are skin booster treatments?
A: Most patients rate discomfort 2-4 out of 10. The needles used are very fine, and many products contain lidocaine. We offer topical numbing cream if you're concerned about discomfort. Most patients find it very tolerable—less painful than traditional fillers because we're injecting superficially, not deeply.
Q: How long do results last?
A: It varies by product:
- Rejuran: 9-12 months
- Juvelook: 12-18 months
- Sunekos: 6-12 months
- NCTF/Teosyal: 12+ months
After your initial protocol, most patients need 1-2 maintenance sessions per year. Results are cumulative—your skin continues to improve with consistent treatment.
Q: Can I combine skin boosters with Botox or fillers?
A: Yes! They're highly complementary. Common combinations:
- Botox (for expression lines) + skin booster (for texture/quality)
- Dermal filler (for volume) + skin booster (for skin health around filler)
- Full facial rejuvenation: Botox + filler + skin booster
We typically space treatments 2 weeks apart to assess each result individually, though some can be done simultaneously.
Q: Will I look "overdone" or unnatural?
A: No—skin boosters create subtle, natural improvements. You won't look like you've "had work done." Instead, people will notice you look rested, fresh, and healthy. These treatments enhance your natural appearance rather than dramatically changing it.
Q: How much downtime should I expect?
A: Very minimal. Most patients have small pinprick marks for 12-24 hours and possible mild swelling for 24-48 hours. Many return to work immediately. We recommend scheduling treatments on Thursday/Friday if you want the weekend to fully settle, but most have no social downtime.
Q: Who is NOT a good candidate for skin boosters?
A: You may not be suitable if you:
- Are pregnant or breastfeeding
- Have active skin infection or inflammation
- Have severe allergies to ingredients
- Are on certain immunosuppressant medications
- Have unrealistic expectations
Jordan will assess your suitability during consultation. Sometimes we recommend treating an underlying condition first.
Q: How soon before an event should I get treatment?
A: Ideally 4-6 weeks before a major event (wedding, photoshoot, etc.) to ensure any swelling is completely resolved and results are at their peak. If you need "emergency" glow for an event in 1-2 weeks, NCTF 135HA is your best option (minimal downtime, immediate radiance).
Q: Can I get skin boosters if I have acne?
A: It depends on the severity and type. Active cystic acne should be controlled first. However, Rejuran can actually help with post-acne scarring and texture. Jordan will assess during consultation and may coordinate with Dr. Teo for dermatology input.
Q: Are skin boosters safe?
A: Yes, when performed properly. All products we use are:
- Medsafe/TGA approved
- Extensively studied with safety data
- Biocompatible (HA, amino acids, PDRN are naturally occurring)
- Used for years internationally with excellent safety profiles
Serious complications are very rare. Minor side effects (swelling, bruising) are temporary and resolve quickly.
Q: What's the difference between "skin booster" and "microfiller"?
A: The terms are often used interchangeably. Both refer to injectable treatments that improve skin quality rather than add obvious volume. Some clinicians use "microfiller" to emphasize the fine injection technique. At 1 Health, we use both terms to describe the same category of treatments.
Q: Do results look better over time?
A: Yes! Unlike Botox (which wears off gradually) or fillers (which dissolve), skin boosters stimulate your own collagen production. Results are progressive—your skin continues to improve for weeks to months after treatment, then gradually declines over 6-12 months. With repeated protocols, your skin "baseline" health improves cumulatively.
Q: How much does it cost, and are packages available?
A: See pricing section above. We offer 9-11% discounts on 3-session packages (industry-standard protocol). For example:
- Sunekos Face/Neck: $1,899 for 3 sessions (instead of $2,097 paying per-session)
- This works out to $633/session instead of $699
Packages are recommended because skin boosters work best with the full initial protocol.
Real Patient Scenarios: Which Product Would We Recommend?
Scenario 1: Lisa, 42 - Early Aging Prevention
Concerns: Starting to notice fine lines, wants to stay ahead of aging, has good skin currently
Assessment: Skin is still relatively healthy, minimal sun damage, good elasticity
Recommendation:
- NCTF 135HA as prevention and maintenance (3-session protocol)
- Consider adding Botox for early forehead lines
- Sun protection and medical-grade skincare
Why: At 42 with minimal damage, aggressive collagen stimulation isn't yet needed. NCTF provides preventive nourishment and maintains current good skin health. Botox prevents deepening of expression lines.
Scenario 2: Rachel, 55 - Mature Skin with Sun Damage
Concerns: Significant facial aging, sun spots, loss of firmness, crepey neck
Assessment: Moderate photoaging, thinning skin, loss of volume and elasticity
Recommendation:
- Sunekos Face & Neck package (addresses elastin loss - critical at this age)
- Rejuran Healer for tissue regeneration and texture
- Botox for expression lines
- Dermatology consultation with Dr. Teo for sun damage and skin cancer screening
Why: Mature skin needs both collagen AND elastin stimulation. Sunekos is unique in addressing elastin. Rejuran provides deep regeneration. Combined approach for comprehensive results.
Scenario 3: Maya, 38 - Post-Acne Scarring
Concerns: Ice-pick and rolling acne scars, uneven texture, dull skin tone
Assessment: Scarred dermis needs regeneration, textural improvement priority
Recommendation:
- Rejuran Healer (3-4 sessions) - polynucleotides specifically target scar remodeling
- Consider microneedling or laser between Rejuran sessions for enhanced results
- Medical-grade retinoid prescription from Dr. Teo
Why: PDRN in Rejuran is proven for tissue regeneration and wound healing - directly addresses scar biology. Best evidence for acne scars among skin boosters.
Scenario 4: James, 48 - Under-Eye Concerns (Male Patient)
Concerns: Dark circles, under-eye hollowing, tired appearance, wants subtle improvement
Assessment: Volume loss and thin under-eye skin, vascular dark circles
Recommendation:
- Sunekos Under Eyes package (3 sessions)
- Possibly Teosyal Redensity 1 after Sunekos if additional hydration needed
- Sleep, hydration, and under-eye skincare optimization
Why: Sunekos is specifically designed for delicate under-eye area. Non-volumizing (important for men wanting natural results). Amino acids improve both collagen and elastin for better skin quality.
Scenario 5: Sophie, 33 - Prevention + "Glow"
Concerns: Wants to maintain youthful skin, prevent aging, and look radiant for her wedding in 3 months
Assessment: Healthy skin, minimal aging, event-driven timeline
Recommendation:
- NCTF 135HA - 3 sessions over 8 weeks (finishing 4 weeks before wedding for peak results)
- Botox for any expression lines (3 weeks before wedding)
- Consider one "booster" NCTF session 1 week before wedding for extra glow
Why: NCTF provides immediate radiance and cumulative benefit. Conservative approach suitable for younger skin. Timeline allows full settling before event.
