Touted by Vogue as a top beauty trend for 2022, skinimalism is a spartan approach that involves stripping back skincare and make-up routines in order to let one’s real skin shine. This can be done in a number of ways, such as reducing the number of skincare products you use or simply packing less foundation onto the skin.
As a result, patients are now seeking low-maintenance treatments that carry more longevity. Likewise, the aesthetic industry’s focus has also shifted from restoring the look of one’s skin to improving skin health from deep within.
Think treatments that allow your body to slow down the ageing process naturally through collagen biostimulation.
In this article, we’ll talk about the treatments you should be looking at, especially in light of anti-ageing, skin safety, and looking your best from within – all aboard the skinimalism bus!
Biostimulation1 is an injective therapy that’s aimed at boosting the anabolic functions of dermal fibroblasts to obtain skin improvement.
Sounds confusing? Don’t worry. Let’s break it down:
When we speak of collagen biostimulators, they can be explained simply as non-invasive treatments that work to stimulate your own collagen production, correcting signs of ageing such as loss of elasticity.
As such, biostimulation offers individuals a quick, safe, and effective way of achieving youthful, firmer skin. This is where Nucleofill comes in.
As one of the newest technologies in biostimulation, Nucleofill is a polynucleotide-based injectable gel that is specifically designed to revive dull and tired skin.
By stimulating deeper layers and dermal fibroblasts of our skin, this highly viscoelastic gel effectively improves the quality of skin by:
As such, clients who’ve undergone Nucleofill treatment can expect to experience these long-lasting results:
Additionally, Nucleofill, which was formulated in Italy, is well-known for its safety: Not only is it derived from bio-compatible salmon DNA which offers the skin a younger, healthier appearance, it is also suitable for all skin types.
At Ozhean Zoey, we utilise a safe 5-point injection technique to target our clients’ key tissues for optimal biostimulation and collagen production.
While dermal fillers work to boost hyaluronic acid levels to enhance and volumise skin, biostimulators boost the collagen levels in the skin to improve its long-term tone, texture, and overall health.
For example, hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers plump skin because hyaluronic acid attracts water, which immediately hydrates the skin. But while HA has been known to boost collagen in the skin, it is not nearly as effective as biostimulators.
Here are some other ways that Nucleofill differs from other treatments available today:

What it is |
Nucleofill is an innovative biotechnology that contains polynucleotides which stimulate the skin. |
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a substance that’s found in our skin. HA fillers help attract water to voluminise the skin. |
As a non-HA filler, it contains Poly-Caprolactone (PCL) microspheres suspended in a gel-carrier made up of Carboxymethycellulose (CMC). |
Sculptra contains poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), which is a biocompatible synthetic that stimulates collagen production. |

Results |
- Youthful look - Vibrant complexion - Natural filling - Face lifting - Face shaping - Improved tone, texture and elasticity - Skin improvement is significant and notable |
- HA is hydrophilic (tends to mix with, dissolve in, or be wetted by water), and while it helps to plump skin, may also cause puffiness after filling. |
- Volumising and Collagen-stimulating effects - Skin improvement is significant and notable |
- Natural shaping - Face lifting |
|
Length of results |
Results are long-term and last at least 6 months. Treatment needs to be repeated thrice, and every 15 to 30 days to be continuous, long-lasting, and effective. |
Results last anywhere between 9 to 24 months. |
Results can be long-lasting, but it is difficult to predict final outcomes. Initially, results may also decline before increasing. |
Results are long-lasting, as with Nucleofill. Some prefer Sculptra over Ellanse as the results are gradual and more discreet. |

Potential side effects |
There are no serious side effects, making Nucleofilll an effective and safe treatment for all skin types2. |
The most common adverse effects include tenderness, bruising, and swelling. These side effects typically resolve naturally within 2 weeks. |
Like HA fillers, side effects of Ellansé include bruising and tenderness3. |
While extremely rare, side effects can include granulomas, scarring and discolouration, nodules, and lumps. |
If you’re looking to regenerate your skin tissues and skin from within, and are looking for more than a quick glow up, Nucleofill is an effective solution for correcting fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of elasticity. I especially recommend it for mature individuals who wish to regain their collagen levels and youthfulness.
Additionally, Nucleofill is an effective solution for anyone who suffers from:
If you’re already on a low maintenance anti-ageing regime, Nucleofill would be the perfect complement.
Remember, skin health is a cornerstone of one’s beauty – you’re never too young to start on an anti-ageing routine!
