Polynucleotides

Enhance your skin from within

Polynucleotides offer a fantastic way to enhance your skin and boost your confidence. This innovative treatment works by stimulating fibroblasts in your skin, which are crucial for producing collagen. But that’s not all! Polynucleotides also encourage healthy cell growth and turnover, leading to improved elasticity and deep hydration.

Polynucleotides are a cutting-edge skin treatment that improves skin quality, texture, and appearance over time. By stimulating regenerative processes and combatting signs of ageing, these innovative compounds revitalise the skin from within.

What are polynucleotides?

When it comes to skin boosters, you’ve probably heard of hyaluronic acid. It’s great for hydration. Polynucleotides are an advanced step up, offering true biostimulation for your skin. Unlike simple hydrators, polynucleotides actively nourish your skin cells. They kickstart your body’s natural production of collagen and elastin, two vital components that improve your skin’s structure and elasticity. Think of it as enhancing the very foundation of your skin – its extracellular matrix.

Plus, polynucleotides bring a bonus: they have anti-inflammatory properties. This means they offer a truly comprehensive approach to skin rejuvenation, addressing not just hydration but also underlying skin health for a more vibrant, youthful complexion.

What are the benefits of polynucleotides?

  • Stimulates collagen production: Polynucleotides can encourage fibroblasts to produce more collagen, leading to improved skin elasticity and firmness.
  • Promotes elastin synthesis: They can also boost the production of elastin, another crucial protein for skin’s flexibility and resilience.
  • Enhances skin hydration: Polynucleotides have hydrophilic properties, meaning they attract and retain water, contributing to better skin hydration.
  • Supports tissue repair and regeneration: They play a role in the natural healing processes of the skin, aiding in the repair of damaged tissue.
  • Reduces inflammation: Polynucleotides can have an anti-inflammatory effect, which can be beneficial for various skin conditions.
  • Improves skin texture and tone: By promoting collagen and elastin and improving hydration, polynucleotides can lead to smoother and more even-toned skin.
  • Offers antioxidant properties: Polynucleotides can help protect skin cells from damage caused by free radicals.
  • Long-lasting effects: The stimulation of natural processes like collagen and elastin production can lead to more sustained improvements in skin quality.
  • Biocompatible and safe: Polynucleotides are naturally occurring molecules, generally considered biocompatible and well-tolerated by the body.

What does the polynucleotides treatment involve?

Polynucleotides are suitable for people aiming to rejuvenate the skin without adding volume, reducing lines, firming the skin, boosting hydration, and reducing puffiness.

Although polynucleotides are injected like a dermal filler, the way they work is different. The results and effects are not instantaneous, and the injections, although superficial and therefore quick and painless, can cause swelling for 3-5 days before being completely absorbed into the body. It can take approximately two months for the desired effects to become noticeable, as the skin needs time to undergo cellular changes.

As treatment does not provide an instant boost, it’s important to consider that your skin condition will improve over time.

  • Anaesthesia required: Anaesthetic cream is applied.
  • Downtime: Minimal swelling and possibly mild bruising.
  • Results: Enjoy long-term benefits and results for approximately a year.

Frequently asked questions

What are polynucleotides, and how do they work?

Polynucleotides are a type of nucleic acid that plays a crucial role in cellular processes. When injected into the skin, they stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, two essential proteins responsible for skin firmness and elasticity. Additionally, they have anti-inflammatory properties, reducing redness and irritation.

What are the benefits of polynucleotide treatments?

Polynucleotide treatments offer a range of benefits, including improved skin texture and tone, reduced fine lines and wrinkles, increased skin hydration, enhanced skin radiance, diminished acne scars, and improved skin elasticity.

How many treatments are typically needed, and how long do the results last?

The number of treatments required can vary depending on individual needs and desired results. Typically, a series of 2-3 treatments, spaced a few weeks apart, is recommended. Results can last for several months, and in some cases, up to a year.
