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.

  • PDLLA (Poly-D,L-Lactic Acid): Long-term collagen stimulation


How it works:

  • HA provides immediate moisture and plumpness
  • PDLLA microparticles are gradually absorbed over 3-6 months
  • As PDLLA breaks down, it triggers intense collagen production
  • Dual-action: instant glow + progressive improvement
  • Creates thicker, more resilient dermis over time


Clinical evidence:

  • PDLLA is the same biostimulator used in Sculptra® (FDA-approved since 2004)
  • Significant improvement in skin thickness (measured by ultrasound)
  • Progressive collagen deposition over 3-6 months
  • 30-40% improvement in skin elasticity
  • Visible reduction in fine lines and wrinkle depth


Best for:

  • Collagen loss and skin thinning
  • Early-to-moderate skin laxity
  • Overall facial rejuvenation

  • Maintenance: 1 session every 12-18 months
  • Results timeline: Immediate hydration, progressive improvement over 3-6 months
  • Duration: 12-18 months (some patients report up to 24 months)


Technique:

  • Microinjection technique across entire face or targeted areas
  • Can be combined with other treatments (Botox, fillers, lasers)
  • Often done in "sandwich" technique layers


Downtime:

  • Mild swelling and small bumps for 24-48 hours
  • Possible light bruising (less than traditional fillers)
  • Rare: small nodules that resolve with massage
  • Avoid excessive facial movement/massage first 24 hours


Patient testimonials typically report:

  • "My skin just looks healthier—it's hard to pinpoint, but everyone notices"
  • "The glow started immediately, but at 3 months my skin felt thicker"
  • "It's like I turned back the clock 5 years"
  • "My skin feels bouncy again, not thin and papery"

  • Fine lines around mouth
  • Overall skin quality in mature skin


Treatment protocol:

  • Sunekos 200 (standard): 3-4 sessions spaced 7-10 days apart
  • Sunekos 1200 (stronger): 2-3 sessions spaced 2 weeks apart (for more advanced aging)
  • Maintenance: 1-2 sessions every 6-12 months
  • Results timeline: Visible at 7-10 days, optimal at 4-6 weeks
  • Duration: 6-12 months


Technique:

  • Very superficial microinjections (intradermal)

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.

Understanding Your Southern Cross GP Coverage Southern Cross Health Society is New Zealand's largest not-for-profit health insurer, serving over 955,000 members across the country. Your Southern Cross policy likely includes a range of GP-related benefits that can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket healthcare costs. [164] What's Typically Covered Under Southern Cross GP Benefits Depending on your specific plan—such as Wellbeing One, Wellbeing Two, UltraCare, or HealthEssentials—your coverage may include: [165] [166] [167] General Practice Consultations : Standard in-clinic appointments, home visits, phone consultations, and video consultations with your GP are typically covered. [168] [165] Practice Nurse Services : Consultations and treatments provided by practice nurses working from a GP clinic are covered under most plans. [165] [168] Annual Health Checks : Many Southern Cross plans include cover for annual health checks performed by a GP or medical practitioner, providing an opportunity to screen for common conditions and discuss preventative health strategies. [166] [167] [169] Flu Vaccinations : Most plans cover flu vaccinations administered by your GP or practice nurse. [167] [166] [165] Prescriptions : Coverage for Pharmac-approved prescription medications is included in many day-to-day modules. The prescription benefit typically covers the cost of drugs prescribed by your GP, with annual limits varying by plan. [170] [166] [167] Skin Lesion Services : Southern Cross provides cover for skin lesion consultations and minor procedures performed under local anaesthetic or no anaesthetic, including excision, cryotherapy (freezing treatment), biopsy, and electrosurgery of skin lesions. These services must be performed by an Affiliated Provider or GP and must meet specific medical criteria—not cosmetic purposes. [171] [172] [173] [165] GP Minor Surgeries : Various minor surgical procedures performed by your GP may be covered, including joint injections, contraceptive device insertion or removal, ring pessary procedures, and steroid injections. [165] Diagnostic Tests and Procedures : Some plans cover diagnostic tests performed at your GP clinic, such as hearing tests, INR monitoring for warfarin therapy, phlebotomy (blood sample collection), and smear tests. [165] Making the Most of Your Membership at 1 Health Enrol with 1 Health for Continuity of Care While casual appointments are available, enrolling with 1 Health through our 1 Health Club membership offers significant advantages that complement your Southern Cross benefits: [174] [175] [176] · Same doctor continuity for seven days : Building a relationship with a GP who knows your medical history leads to better health outcomes [177] [178] [179] · Longer appointment times when needed : No more rushed 15-minute consultations [176] [174] · After-hours and weekend access : Available seven days a week with a small surcharge [175] [176] · Partner discounts : Exclusive savings with local physiotherapists, gyms, optometrists, and other health and wellness providers across Christchurch [175] [176] Enrolling with a general practice is free and provides access to government subsidies that reduce consultation fees. Combined with your Southern Cross benefits, this dual approach maximises your healthcare value. [179] [180] [177] Take Advantage of Easy-Claim at 1 Health One of the most convenient features for Southern Cross members at 1 Health is Easy-Claim—a digital system that eliminates paperwork and waiting for reimbursements. [181] [164] How Easy-Claim Works at 1 Health : [182] [164] [181] 1. Book your appointment : Schedule your GP visit, skin check, minor procedure, or other eligible service 2. Present your Southern Cross card : Show your membership card (physical or digital) at reception when you arrive 3. Instant claim processing : Our team submits your claim electronically to Southern Cross on your behalf while you wait 4. Pay only the difference : If your policy covers the full cost, you pay nothing extra. Otherwise, you simply pay the remaining balance not covered by your insurance This seamless process means no claim forms to complete, no waiting weeks for reimbursement, and transparent cost management. Within seconds, you'll know exactly what Southern Cross will cover and what you're responsible for paying. [183] [164] [181] Access Southern Cross Dental Benefits at 1 Health Dental As part of our comprehensive healthcare offering, 1 Health Dental also accepts Southern Cross Easy-Claim for eligible dental services. Many Southern Cross policies include dental cover as part of their day-to-day benefits or as optional add-on modules, providing coverage for routine check-ups, cleaning, X-rays, fillings, and other preventative and restorative treatments. [164] Having both your GP and dental care under one roof with Easy-Claim capability means you can maximise all your Southern Cross health benefits conveniently in one location. Whether you need a medical consultation or dental treatment, our integrated approach makes managing your healthcare simpler and more efficient. Maximise Your Skin Health Benefits New Zealand has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world, making regular skin checks essential for early detection. Southern Cross provides valuable cover for skin lesion services when medically necessary. [173] [171] [165] What's Covered : [172] [171] [173] [165] · Dermoscopy and skin lesion consultations with your GP · Cryotherapy (liquid nitrogen freezing) of skin lesions · Excision, biopsy, or removal of suspicious or problematic skin lesions · Consultations related to skin lesion assessment and treatment Important Criteria : [171] Southern Cross will only reimburse for skin lesion removal when specific medical criteria are met, including: · Treatment of skin cancers (basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, melanoma, actinic keratosis) · Removal of rapidly growing or suspicious lesions · Treatment of cysts and other lesions affecting sweat glands or hair follicles · Other benign lesions where medically necessary and not cosmetic in nature Skin checks or mole mapping for health screening purposes are typically not covered unless you have a specific concern about a lesion. At 1 Health, our doctors are experienced in skin cancer screening and minor surgical procedures, and we can process your claim through Easy-Claim for eligible services. [176] [164] [171] [175] [165] Keep Track of Your Benefits and Claims Staying informed about your benefit balances and claim status helps you plan your healthcare spending effectively throughout the policy year. Use the MySouthernCross App : [184] [185] [186] Download the free MySouthernCross app to: · Check your annual benefit balances at any time · View remaining coverage limits for different services · Submit claims by simply taking a photo of your receipt · Request prior approval for upcoming treatments · Access your member card number for Easy-Claim · View your policy documents and communications · Track claim status and receive notifications when claims are processed Most claims submitted through the app are reimbursed within five working days. [186] [184] Monitor Your Spending : [187] [188] [189] Different Southern Cross plans have varying annual limits for GP services. For example: · Wellbeing One with the Keeping Well Module provides $200 per claims year combined for GP, nurse, optometrist, audiologist services, plus separate limits for prescriptions and clinical psychology [188] [189] · Wellbeing One with the Day-to-Day Module covers GP services, nurse services, and physiotherapy, with separate prescription coverage [166] [167] · Some plans like HealthEssentials cover 75% of eligible costs up to annual limits [190] Understanding your specific limits helps you prioritise which services to claim for first and avoid surprises later in the policy year. Practical Tips for Maximising Your Benefits 1. Schedule Preventative Care Early in Your Policy Year Book your annual health check, flu vaccination, and any routine health screenings early in your claims year to ensure you have remaining benefits available for unexpected health needs later. [169] 2. Ask About Coverage Before Treatment Before proceeding with any non-urgent treatment or procedure, check whether it's covered under your policy. At 1 Health, our reception team can verify your coverage through Easy-Claim, or you can request prior approval through the MySouthernCross app. [191] [184] [186] 3. Combine Appointments When Possible If you need multiple services, consider scheduling them together where clinically appropriate. For example, discussing a skin concern during your annual health check, or getting your flu vaccination during a routine consultation, can help you maximise the value from each appointment. 4. Keep Detailed Records Even with Easy-Claim, maintain your own records of appointments, claims submitted, and benefits used. This helps you track your healthcare spending and ensures you're getting full value from your membership. [192] [184] 5. Understand What's Not Covered Familiarising yourself with policy exclusions prevents disappointment. Generally excluded from Southern Cross GP benefits are: [193] [171] [165] · Health screening or mole mapping for asymptomatic conditions · Cosmetic procedures not medically necessary · Physical examinations required for third parties (life insurance, driver licence, travel insurance) · Pre-existing condition treatments (depending on your plan and waiting periods) · Services not performed by recognised healthcare providers At 1 Health, we're transparent about what's covered and what's not, so you can make informed decisions about your care. [174] [175] 6. Utilise Member Discounts and Offers Beyond your policy benefits, Southern Cross membership includes additional perks like discounts on dental care, eye tests, gym memberships, and other wellness services. Check the Southern Cross member discounts page regularly for current offers that complement your healthcare needs. [194] [169] 7. Consider Policy Add-Ons If you find you're consistently exceeding your GP benefit limits or need additional coverage, speak with Southern Cross about adding modules to your plan. Options like the Keeping Well Module or Day-to-Day Module can provide enhanced GP and prescription coverage tailored to your needs.
