Polynucleotides are a relatively new regenerative aesthetics treatment that have gained significant attention in the aesthetics industry due to their unique properties and impressive results. Derived from salmon DNA, polynucleotides offer a natural and effective way to revitalise the skin and address various aesthetic concerns.
How Polynucleotides Work
Unlike dermal fillers that primarily add volume, polynucleotides stimulate the skin's natural repair mechanisms. They work by:
- Promoting collagen production: Polynucleotides encourage the growth of new collagen fibres, which provide structural support and improve skin elasticity.
- Enhancing hydration: They help to retain moisture in the skin, resulting in a plump, hydrated appearance.
- Reducing inflammation: Polynucleotides have anti-inflammatory properties that can help soothe irritated skin and reduce redness.
Benefits of Polynucleotide Treatments
Polynucleotide treatments offer several advantages, including:
- Natural-looking results: Polynucleotides blend seamlessly with the skin, providing subtle yet noticeable improvements.
- Versatility: They can be used to address a wide range of concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, sagging skin, and uneven skin texture.
- Minimal downtime: Most patients experience some discomfort during the procedure, which is short lived. Swelling is also common, especially when treating the under-eye area, but you should be able to return to normal activities within 24 to 48 hours.
- Long-lasting results: The effects of polynucleotide treatments can last for several months, with repeated treatments providing cumulative benefits.
Ideal Candidates for Polynucleotide Treatments
Polynucleotide treatments are suitable for individuals who are seeking to:
- Improve the overall quality and texture of their skin
- Reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Enhance skin hydration and elasticity
