Polynucleotides are biological molecules made from chains of nucleotides, which are the building blocks of DNA and RNA. For cosmetic treatments, polynucleotides are usually extracted from salmon DNA (due to its biocompatibility and low risk of immune reaction), then purified and processed for medical use.
Polynucleotide injections work by directly stimulating the skin’s natural regenerative processes. Once injected, polynucleotides stimulate fibroblast activity, which are the cells responsible for producing collagen and elastin, essential proteins for skin structure and elasticity. They also enhance tissue repair by supporting the regeneration of skin cells and improve microcirculation, increasing oxygen and nutrient supply to the treated areas. Furthermore, polynucleotides boost hydration by attracting water molecules, similar to how hyaluronic acid functions, leading to plumper, more moisturised skin.
Polynucleotide injections offer a range of key benefits for skin health and appearance. They contribute to comprehensive skin rejuvenation by improving texture, tone, and elasticity, while also effectively reducing fine lines and early signs of aging. A significant advantage is deep hydration, as polynucleotides restore moisture balance, particularly beneficial for dry or dehydrated skin. For those undergoing other aesthetic treatments, they provide enhanced healing, speeding up skin repair after procedures like laser treatments, microneedling, or chemical peels.
Moreover, polynucleotides show promise in the improvement of various skin conditions, including acne scars, rosacea, and issues related to inflammation. The results are natural-looking, promoting gradual regeneration without altering facial structure, and the procedure boasts minimal downtime, making it a convenient option for individuals with busy lifestyles due to its generally low risk and quick recovery.
Polynucleotides Treatment
How Many Treatments Are Needed?
The number of polynucleotide treatments needed can vary depending on individual skin concerns, goals, and the specific product used. However, we recommend an initial course of 2 to 3 sessions, spaced approximately 2 to 4 weeks apart for best results.
What Are the Most Common Treatment Areas?
Polynucleotide injections rejuvenate skin by stimulating collagen and elastin, enhancing tissue repair, improving circulation, and boosting hydration. This leads to better texture, tone, elasticity, and reduced fine lines, also aiding in scar healing and addressing conditions like rosacea. Common treatment areas include the under-eyes, face, neck, décolletage, and hands.
What Are the Possible Side Effects and Risks?
Polynucleotide Injections are widely considered a safe treatment. While cosmetic treatment is not without complications or unwanted side effects, we do take every precaution to minimise and limit any complications to offer a safe and comfortable service. Reported side effects include but are not limited to the following: some redness and swelling and or minor bruising at the injection site, which should begin to clear up within 48 hours.
Individual results can vary and are not guaranteed.
