Polynucleotides are a regenerative medicine advancement used in aesthetics which is supported by extensive clinical data. It is an injectable biostimulator made from chains of nucleotides acquired from Trout or Salmon DNA which are meticulously purified. These compounds have long been utilized in hospitals for burns and wound healing.
Polynucleotides play a crucial role in rejuvenation by stimulating fibroblasts, promoting collagen and elastin production, enhancing hydration, reducing pigmentation, and exhibiting antioxidant properties, altogether helping to reduce the visible signs of aging.
Common areas for treatment include: the face, including under the eyes, neck, décolletage, and the scalp. For best results, it is recommended to have at least three sessions, each spaced three weeks apart. Maintenance sessions are suggested every 6-9 months, depending on personal factors. Results, while varying between patients, are generally visible within 3-4 weeks following the first treatment.
Numbing cream is applied pre-procedure for comfort. Polynucleotides complement other injectables seamlessly, including anti-wrinkle treatments, skin boosters, and dermal fillers. Unlike dermal fillers, polynucleotides do not add volume, making them suitable for patients focused on improving skin quality without additional volume. Polynucleotides can also prime the skin for laser or chemical peel treatments.
Minor bumps at injection sites may appear, usually disappearing within 24 to 48 hours. Temporary bruising, redness, and swelling are possible, and infection risks can be minimised with proper aftercare.
Polynucleotides treatment is suitable for all skin types and for those who want to improve their skin quality and hydration. However, treatment is not suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding individuals, those with a history of autoimmune diseases, with active skin infections, fish allergies (may require patch testing), or hypersensitivity/allergy to polynucleotide products. A thorough medical history review is conducted during the consultation.
