Polynucleotides
Polynucleotides are an innovative, natural-based treatment revolutionising skin rejuvenation and repair.
Derived from DNA fragments, Polynucleotides work by stimulating the body’s natural healing and regeneration processes. Unlike traditional aesthetic treatments that focus solely on filling or tightening the skin, polynucleotides repair damaged tissues, promote collagen synthesis, and improve cellular function at a deeper level. This makes them an excellent choice for individuals seeking a comprehensive, regenerative approach to anti-ageing.
Polynucleotide-based treatments are particularly effective for addressing concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, skin laxity, dehydration, and dullness. Their ability to enhance skin quality and elasticity makes them a popular option for older patients who may experience more pronounced signs of ageing due to decreased collagen production and slower cellular repair.

Polynucleotides are biocompatible DNA fragments derived from natural sources, such as salmon. These DNA fragments are purified and processed to ensure safety and efficacy when injected into the skin.
Here’s how polynucleotides improve skin health:
Tissue Regeneration: Polynucleotides promote tissue repair by stimulating fibroblasts, the cells responsible for collagen and elastin production. This enhances the structural integrity of the skin, leading to improved elasticity and firmness.
Collagen and Elastin Stimulation: By encouraging fibroblast activity, polynucleotides increase collagen and elastin production, which are essential for maintaining youthful, plump skin. Over time, this reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
Anti-Inflammatory Effects: Polynucleotides have natural anti-inflammatory properties, helping to soothe the skin and reduce redness or irritation. This makes them ideal for sensitive or inflamed skin types.
Hydration and Volume Restoration: Polynucleotides attract water molecules to the skin, boosting hydration and restoring lost volume. This is particularly beneficial for older skin, which often suffers from dehydration and a lack of plumpness.
Improved Microcirculation: Polynucleotides enhance blood flow and oxygen delivery to the treated area, revitalising dull or tired skin and improving its overall tone and texture.
Cellular Repair: These DNA fragments repair damaged skin cells, promoting healthier, more resilient skin at a cellular level. This comprehensive repair process addresses multiple signs of ageing simultaneously.

Polynucleotide treatments offer a wide range of benefits that go beyond surface-level aesthetics:
Deep Skin Rejuvenation: Polynucleotides improve skin quality from the inside out, targeting the root causes of ageing rather than just masking the symptoms.
Natural and Biocompatible: Derived from natural sources, polynucleotides are safe and biocompatible, making them suitable for a variety of skin types, including sensitive or reactive skin.
Enhanced Skin Elasticity and Firmness: By stimulating collagen and elastin production, polynucleotides restore the skin’s structural integrity, reducing sagging and improving overall firmness.
Improved Hydration: Polynucleotides provide intense hydration by attracting water molecules to the treated area, giving the skin a plumper, more youthful appearance.
Reduction of Fine Lines and Wrinkles: The stimulation of collagen and tissue regeneration softens the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines over time.
Soothing and Anti-Inflammatory: The anti-inflammatory properties of polynucleotides make them ideal for calming redness, irritation, or post-treatment inflammation.

Polynucleotide treatments are minimally invasive and require little to no downtime, making them a convenient option for most patients:
Immediate Recovery: Following the treatment, some clients may experience mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites. These effects are temporary and typically subside within 24-48 hours.
Post-Treatment Instructions: Patients are usually advised to avoid strenuous exercise, excessive heat (such as saunas or hot baths), and direct sun exposure for the first 24-48 hours to promote optimal healing.
Return to Daily Activities: Most patients can resume normal activities immediately after the treatment, with minimal disruption to their routine.
-
The frequency of polynucleotide treatments depends on individual skin concerns and the desired results.
However, most patients follow a structured treatment plan to achieve optimal outcomes:
Initial Treatment Course: A typical initial course consists of 3-4 sessions spaced 2-4 weeks apart. This frequency allows the skin to respond to the treatment, stimulating ongoing repair and regeneration.
Maintenance Treatments: To maintain the results, patients are recommended to schedule maintenance treatments every 4-6 months. This helps to sustain the improvements in skin quality, hydration, and elasticity.

Polynucleotide treatments provide progressive, long-lasting improvements. Patients can expect to see initial changes within a few weeks, with full results becoming apparent after completing the initial course.
Maintenance treatments ensure continued benefits, keeping the skin hydrated, firm, and youthful over time.
