What are Polynucleotides?

Polynucleotides are a type of injectable treatment used in facial aesthetics to improve skin quality, texture, and appearance. They are composed of natural DNA fragments derived from salmon, which are biocompatible and have regenerative properties. Polynucleotides work by stimulating tissue repair, enhancing skin hydration, and promoting collagen production.

How They Work:

1. Skin Regeneration: Polynucleotides support the skin’s natural healing process by encouraging cell growth and tissue regeneration. This can help repair damaged skin and improve its overall texture.
2. Hydration: They attract water molecules, leading to deep hydration of the skin, which helps to improve elasticity and reduce fine lines.
3. Collagen Production: By stimulating fibroblasts, which are cells responsible for producing collagen, polynucleotides contribute to firmer and more youthful-looking skin.

Applications in Facial Aesthetics:

• Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Polynucleotides help to smooth out fine lines and improve skin elasticity.
• Skin Texture and Tone: They can enhance the overall quality of the skin by making it appear smoother and more even.
• Acne Scars and Skin Damage: Polynucleotides support the repair of damaged tissue, making them useful for improving the appearance of scars. They can also sometimes be used to treat stretch makrs, depending on what the clinician advises.
• Tear trough area: Risks of ‘lumps’ forming after filler are diminished since it allows the body’s own collagen and elastin to improve the appearance in this area.

Treatment Process:

Polynucleotide injections are typically administered using fine needles, similar to other dermal fillers. The treatment can involve multiple sessions to achieve optimal results, with little to no downtime. Most patients are seen at 3-6 monthly intervals for repeat treatment.

Overall, polynucleotides offer a non-surgical option for individuals looking to rejuvenate their skin and achieve a more youthful appearance.
