What are they and how can they help me?
You may have heard about Polynucleotides, the skin-boosting and regenerative injectables that have been trending in recent months.
They’ve started revolutionizing the aesthetics and skincare industry and have become an increasingly popular solution amongst patients for treating the signs of ageing and other common skin complaints – for good reason.
If you haven’t heard about them yet, don’t worry. We’ll break down exactly what polynucleotides are, what benefits they have, and what makes them unique from other anti-ageing treatments.
What are Polynucleotides?
Polynucleotides are a component predominantly derived from salmon DNA, making them natural, compatible, and biodegradable.
Polynucleotides are “like food or medicine for cells, making them produce collagen and elastin and helping to improve the structural support layer within our skin that keeps us looking youthful, containing those fibrous elements such as collagen, elastic, etc.
Polynucleotides are scientifically proven to:
- Stimulate and boost collagen and elastin production
- Durably and efficiently repair the skin (and hair) at a cellular level
- Hydrate the skin at a cellular level
- Improve tissue firmness and elasticity
- Have anti-inflammatory properties
- Promote cellular renewal
Which basically means they are ideal for:
- Lifting and tightening the skin
- Improving skin texture and smoothness
- Brightening the skin
- Increasing volume within the skin
- Minimizing acne scars
- Minimizing stretch marks
- Minimizing/restoring hair loss
But what makes injectable Polynucleotide treatments unique from all the other anti-aging treatments such as dermal fillers? Let’s find out!
Polynucleotides VS Traditional Injectable Anti-ageing Treatments
Fix not fill
Unlike dermal fillers, which are designed to temporarily plump the skin, Polynucleotides have been scientifically proven to regenerate the skin from inside, at a cellular level, increasing your skin’s hydration levels, collagen production, skin elasticity, and more.
They go deeper than other treatments
By far, the most popular solution for the signs of ageing has been anti-wrinkle injections (commonly known as ‘botox’). Whilst this still maintains status as an effective anti-ageing solution, the average treatment lasts around an average of 3-4 months.
Most polynucleotide treatments are designed to last 6-12 months, with the effects also continuing to improve the underlying skin quality long after that.
Previously, the most effective injectable for skin rejuvenation we had was known as a “skin booster”. This is a type of dermal filler used to improve the skin’s quality by boosting hydration levels deep within the skin. Our polynucleotide treatments go even further, not just increasing hydration levels deep within but also acting as a skin healer.
Polynucleotides complement the skin’s natural ability to self-repair by interacting directly with the fibroblasts and cells.
What areas can be treated?
Under the eyes, for the face and neck, décolletage – anywhere on the body with damaged skin!
How many sessions are required?
An initial course of three sessions is required for maximum results. A maintenance session can be given every 12 months for long-lasting results.
