What are Skin Healer & Skin Boosters?
Skin healers like PDRN injection speed up the skin’s natural healing process, while skin boosters such as HA Skinboosters can improve skin hydration.
While they tend to be categorised together due to their similar properties and effects, here are the differences between PDRN injection and skin boosters.
What is PDRN Injection treatment?
PDRN injection is an anti-ageing treatment made of highly purified polynucleotide or PN. It naturally rejuvenates the skin cells by stimulating growth factors to accelerate the skin’s natural healing process to reverse skin damage and increase collagen production.
Learn More: PDRN Injection
PDRN Injection is Europe CE-approved and Singapore HSA approved, and it can:
- Improve skin tightness
- Improve skin hydration
- Reduce wrinkles and fine lines
- Reduce pore size and improve acne scars
- Reduce inflammation and redness
- Improve skin texture, skin tone, and pigmentation
How does PDRN Injection work?
PDRN injection is a treatment in Singapore with the active ingredient, polynucleotides (PN), a biological molecule which has regeneration ability. It works by stimulating the skin’s fibroblasts to produce collagen.
The magic in PN is traced back to salmon DNA, and is backed by scientific evidence. Scientists discovered that when they rub salmon DNA on human skin, subjects show improvements in skin elasticity, skin texture, and hyaluronic production (i.e. hydration).
Types of PDRN Injection
PDRN Injection
Tighten saggy skin, reduce wrinkles and fine lines, minimise pore size, reduce inflammation, and improve skin tone and overall skin health.
PDRN Acne Injection
Has a higher viscosity for treating acne scars. It fills up the dented surfaces and reduces the appearance of acne scars.
PDRN Eye Area Injection
Has a lighter viscosity to treat the delicate under-eye area. It smooths out the crow’s feet and fine wrinkles around eyes and improves the elasticity of the treated area.
More about PDRN Acne Injection
PDRN Acne Injection has a higher viscosity as compared to PDRN injection and is designed for treating depressed acne scars. The regeneration ability of PDRN injection, coupled with the higher viscosity, stimulates the fibroblasts in our skin to produce collagen.
PDRN Acne Injection can:
- Treat acne scars
- Plump up depressed acne scars
- Stimulate skin’s fibroblast to produce collagen
- Smooth out skin and improve skin texture

PDRN Treatment Facial
Halley’s PDRN Healing Treatment Facial combines the main component, PDRN, for healing, and hyaluronic acid for moisturising the skin, and amino acids for firming the skin.

PDRN Tone-Up Booster
The PDRN Tone-Up Booster also contains PDRN for its regeneration, anti-inflammatory, and skin healing properties. The PDRN Tone-Up Booster treatment can be done after a laser treatment to:
- Soothe skin and accelerate healing
- Promote and speed up growth of fresh and healthy new skin
- Reverse signs of ageing
- Brightens dull skin
- Improve skin texture

What are skin boosters?
Hydrating skin boosters in Singapore are microinjections that improve skin hydration to keep skin smooth, firm, and plump. The hydrating HA Skinbooster treatment in Singapore introduces hyaluronic acid into the face, which is a natural compound found in our body that maintains hydration in the skin.
Learn More: Skin Boosters
Skin boosters can:
- Improve skin hydration
- Reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Brighten skin and improve skin radiance for a dewy look
- Improve skin elasticity and skin firmness
- Improve skin health and tone
- Reduce the appearance of acne scars
How do skin boosters work?
Skinboosters are moisturisers that deeply hydrate the skin from within; replenishing hyaluronic acid to our skin on a cellular level.
HA Skinbooster is a type of skin booster that contains hyaluronic acid that can integrate into the skin naturally to improve skin texture, skin elasticity, and skin tone. Microinjections deliver the hyaluronic acid to the middle layer of the skin.
Skin boosters do not shape nor volumise tissues like dermal fillers even though they both contain hyaluronic acid. The hyaluronic acid in skin boosters is used to improve skin hydration, skin health, and cell function to rejuvenate the skin.
Skinbooster treatments in Singapore can also stimulate our fibroblasts to improve collagen and elastin production, resulting in firmer, tighter skin. It thus also reduces the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars.
Are skin boosters suitable for me?
In general, skin boosters can improve the following:
- Dehydrated, dull, or oily skin
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne scars
- Loose, saggy skin
- Skin health, tone, and elasticity
Hence they are not just an anti-ageing treatment. Our skin also starts losing collagen from our mid- to late-twenties, and subsequently hyaluronic acid, which can be replenished by skin boosters.
However, it is recommended to consult a medical doctor who can prescribe a treatment suitable for your skin.
Differences between skin boosters, PDRN injection, Hyaluronic acid (HA) injectable skin moisturiser
While the HA Skinbooster, PDRN injection, and Hyaluronic acid (HA) injectable skin moisturiser have similar effects on the skin and can all reverse the signs of ageing with healthier, brighter, and firmer skin, there are differences that set these three anti-ageing treatments in Singapore apart.

Combining skin healer and skin boosters
Skin boosters in Singapore can be used synergistically with PDRN injection, and Halley Medical Aesthetics’ Halley’s Baby Skin Healer Trio is a treatment designed by our doctors that combines the effects of both the HA Skinbooster and PDRN injection.
Halley’s Baby Skin Healer Trio
Halley’s Baby Skin Healer Trio is an anti-ageing treatment that combines PDRN injection, HA Skinbooster, and Micro-Botox, and it is delivered into the skin via injections right below the surface of our skin.
Skin boosters give a more immediate effect, PDRN injection have a more delayed and sustained effect, while intradermal Botox, or Micro-Botox, helps to tighten pores and reduce oil production.
When these are combined, Halley’s Baby Skin Healer Trio can:
Restore skin elasticity
Minimise pores
Reduce fine lines
Improve acne scars
Hydrate skin
Tighten skin
What is
Micro-Botox?
On its own, Micro-Botox is injected in very small doses on face areas such as the jawline, under-eye area, and cheeks. It makes the skin less oily with reduced pores, reduces fine wrinkles, addresses inflammation or acne, refines skin texture, and tightens the skin.
Post treatment care
Minimal post-treatment care is needed. Tiny bumps may remain over the injection site for up to one to two days. Needle marks, mild redness and bruises can occur but generally resolve rapidly and can be concealed with makeup.
*The use of these treatments is dependent on the clinical assessment and judgement of a medical professional. Please consult a medical doctor for an informed discussion on the use of these treatments.
