What are Polynucleotides?

Polynucleotides are naturally derived substances made up of chains of nucleotides, which are the building blocks of DNA. Polynucleotides are used as injectable treatments to improve skin quality by stimulating cell regeneration and boosting collagen and elastin production.

They are often derived from fish DNA, such as salmon or trout, due to its similarity to human DNA.

The benefits of the treatment are:

1. • Improve skin elasticity and hydration.

   • Reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and signs of ageing.

   • Enhance skin tone and texture.

   • Promote tissue regeneration and repair.

How They Work:

1. • Polynucleotides act as biostimulators, encouraging the skin to produce more collagen and elastin.

   • They also have antioxidant properties, protecting the skin from free radicals and UV damage.

Applications:

1. • Commonly used for under-eye rejuvenation, neck, and jawline treatments.

   • Can also address scars, stretch marks, and other skin concerns.

   • For optimal results, a series of treatments (3 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart) is recommended. The full effects, such as enhanced collagen and elastin production, can take 2 to 3 months to fully develop as the skin continues to renew itself.

Suitability:

1. • Not recommended for individuals with fish allergies, vegetarians, or vegans, as they are animal-derived.

   • Unsuitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Polynucleotides are gaining popularity as a natural and effective way to rejuvenate the skin without altering facial structure.
