Want to follow trends in 2026 in aesthetic treatments? Well, this year is all about the skin quality trend. Patients are looking for procedures that will regenerate their skin on a cellular level rather than simply correct volume loss. Using fillers in a traditional way is no longer so appealing because over fillings simply gives a quick fix that has no long-term value. Plus, it can dramatically change facial appearance. And 2026 is all about keeping authenticity and just subtly enhancing natural beauty.
The biggest trend now is to look refreshed and not overfilled. This is where regenerative injectable treatments take center stage. They trigger collagen production, skin cell renewal, and maintain the health and quality of the skin.
One aesthetic treatment that Dr. Dragana Spica is recommending for the subtle enhancement of natural beauty is Sunekos. This advanced skin booster regenerates your skin from the inside out with its dual action – it hydrates your skin and boosts your collagen and elastin production. Another treatment called Salmon DNA deeply regenerates your skin and reverses aging signs. Finally, skin boosters with their different formulas based on hyaluronic acid restore the balance and radiance of your skin.
Let’s talk more about these advanced aesthetic treatments to find out which one is best for you.
What Each Treatment Actually Does
All these aesthetic treatments have a lot of benefits when it comes to improving your skin’s quality, but their mode of action is nuanced, so you need to understand how they work and how they actually resolve your skin concerns and reverse aging signs. Something that they have in common is the work underneath the surface to create a better structure and keep your skin healthy, resilient, and refreshed.
Sunekos – the Gentle But Powerful Regenerative Injectable
Sunekos regenerative injectable treatment addresses your skin concerns in a multi-action approach. It consists of hyaluronic acid that instantly makes your skin hydrated and plump because it naturally binds water molecules. Also, it consists of amino acids that provide the necessary structural support for producing collagen and elastin. When these two important ingredients are combined, they activate powerful fibroblasts that gradually improve your skin structure and make it look luminous, firm, and youthful.
The difference between Sunekos and traditional dermal fillers is that Sunekos doesn’t freeze your facial expressions or simply fill the hollow areas. This powerful and advanced injectable triggers your own body’s collagen production and keeps your unique facial impressions intact. It goes really well with the trend of maintaining authenticity and just enhancing already beautiful facial features. Deep hydration helps your skin actually retain that moisture for a longer time.
Gradually, your skin starts looking radiant, smooth, and supple again. This action is very effective in reversing early signs of aging, like fine lines and wrinkles, especially around your eyes, lips, and cheeks.
Sunekos injectable treatment is also super effective in treating under-eye hollows and dark circles because it is gentle to thin and sensitive skin. We all know how difficult it can be to treat these areas in a natural way. So Sunekos is a great option because it is specifically designed for sensitive areas. With its structural regeneration beneath your skin, Sunekos is ideal for early aging signs like fine lines and loss of volume. After a couple of sessions, you will notice that your skin is tighter, more elastic, and prepared for graceful aging.
Salmon DNA Therapy – Powerful Cellular Repair Treatment
Salmon DNA therapy is creating a lot of buzz in the world of aesthetic medicine. What’s so appealing about this advanced regenerative injectable is that it is very compatible with human DNA, which means that it is almost 100% natural. This treatment is super effective in skin rejuvenation, and it has revolutionized the way skin specialists like Dr. Dragana Spica approach beauty. Salmon DNA therapy, or PDRN, consists of purified salmon DNA, which, when injected, deeply hydrates your skin, stimulates collagen production, and also repairs your skin on a cellular level. It reduces skin inflammation and improves your skin texture.
If you are looking for a minimally invasive aesthetic treatment that is very effective in reversing aging signs, salmon DNA therapy is your choice. After triggering collagen production, it gradually reduces fine lines and wrinkles, improves your skin elasticity, and brightens your dull, sun-damaged skin. Since it is biocompatible and safe, it causes minimal side effects.
The key to salmon DNA therapy effectiveness lies in polynucleotides that represent building blocks for cellular regeneration. With the help of polynucleotides, skin cells repair and regrow – this is a natural repair process that promotes healthy cell function. With all these benefits combined these treatment actually improves your skin’s ability to stay moisturized and appear plump and youthful in the long run.
Skin Boosters – Boosting Skin Radiance
Skin boosters are not a completely new treatment, but they definitely fit into the trend of 2026. These injectables have different formulas, but they mainly consist of hyaluronic acid, amino acids, and vitamins. They are designed to deeply hydrate and rejuvenate your skin rather than make it more voluminous, as traditional fillers do. Similar to the previous two regenerative injectables, skin boosters rejuvenate your skin from the inside out. When injected, they stimulate collagen and elastin production and improve your skin’s elasticity. You can have them in all areas, including the sensitive ones like your neck, decolletage, or hands.
Skin boosters are also very effective in improving your skin texture and reducing acne scars and other imperfections. Since they are different from traditional dermal fillers, skin boosters need a little bit of time to produce their best results. They build up the level of hyaluronic acid in your skin gradually, and after a couple of days or a week after the treatment, you will notice that your skin is more luminous and smoother. The results last longer because your skin is improving on its own and building a proper structure for resilience.
What’s the Downtime and Results of Regenerative Injectables?
Even though all these regenerative injectable treatments are minimally invasive, they do require some consideration before you decide to try them. It’s always best to be informed about the necessary downtime and what results to expect.
For Sunekos, there isn’t any specific recovery time, so you can go back to your daily activities right after the treatment. But since it is injectable, you may have some tenderness to the touch and redness in the treated area. These sensitivities should resolve in a day or two. Bruising is also possible, especially if you are prone to this side effect. That’s why it’s a good idea to avoid blood-thinning medications before the treatment. If you have a special event like a wedding, time your treatment at least two weeks before to avoid having residual bruising. After Sunekos treatment, you should avoid makeup for at least 24 hours and also don’t do any strenuous activities for 24 hours. Don’t go to the saunas or tanning beds for about a week, and if you need to go outside in the sun, don’t forget to apply a high SPF.
As for results, most patients need two to three sessions spaced three weeks apart. After one session, you need to leave your skin to start healing and producing collagen and elastin. After these initial sessions, you can expect to enjoy the results of Sunekos for up to one year. Then you can have a touch-up treatment once a year to maintain the results – your skin will stay hydrated, and you will notice that fine lines and wrinkles are significantly reduced.
If you are considering Salmon DNA therapy as your skin regeneration treatment, you should know that it doesn’t require any special recovery time. You can go back to your daily activities immediately. But there are some minimal side effects, even though Salmon DNA therapy is considered one of the safest procedures. You can experience redness, mild swelling, and small bumps in the treatment areas, but these sensitivities should pass after one to two days. You shouldn’t expect any serious side effects because Salmon DNA is highly compatible with human DNA.
For the best results, you might need three to four sessions spaced about three to four weeks apart. After the initial sessions, you can enjoy the results for about a year – it all depends on your skin concerns and lifestyle habits. Since Salmon DNA therapy focuses on improving the structure of your skins the results are long-lasting, especially if you have touch-up treatments every nine months, for example. After two to three weeks from your first session, you will be amazed by the results – your skin will be significantly more hydrated, and your skin texture will be much improved.
Finally, skin boosters are also a super safe injectable treatment that doesn’t require downtime. You can squeeze them in your lunch break. You can expect usual side effects after any injectable treatment – mild redness, swelling, tenderness to touch, and bruising. All these sensitivities should resolve in a day or two.
If you want the best results, you might need two to three sessions spaced a couple of weeks apart. Once you see the final results, you can enjoy them for about a year and then have a touch-up treatment every 6 to 12 months. The results are gradual and quite different from traditional Dermal fillers. Skin boosters don’t give you immediately noticeable volume. They boost your collagen production, improve your skin in the deeper layers, and reverse aging signs in the following weeks after the initial sessions. This makes them more long-lasting.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Regenerative Injectables?
You may be a good candidate for regenerative treatments if you are over 18 and you want to maintain your skin’s health rather than dramatically transform your appearance. Regenerative injectables need a bit of time to do their magic – you need to be patient.
