Polynucleotides
Polynucleotides are an injectable treatment that help regenerate the skin they are bioregenerative molecules derived from purified DNA fragments (often sourced from salmon or trout) that help repair, hydrate, and rejuvenate the skin at a cellular level.
Suitable for: Under eyes Face, neck, hands, décolletage, acne scars.
How does it work?
Polynucleotides are an exciting and fast-growing area in regenerative aesthetics. Unlike hyaluronic acid skin boosters, polynucleotide (PN) injectables work by repairing and regenerating skin at a cellular level, not just hydrating it.
Polynucleotides are fragments of DNA and RNA chains (specifically highly purified DNA molecules, usually derived from salmon or trout)
These biocompatible molecules are non-allergenic and have been used medically for wound healing for decades.
What happens during a treatment?
A polynucleotide treatment is an injectable procedure designed to regenerate and repair the skin at a cellular level. It’s similar in feel to other skin boosters, but works differently under the surface. Here’s a step-by-step look at what to expect:
- Your skin is cleansed and disinfected.
- A topical numbing cream is applied
- Polynucleotides are injected into the mid to deep dermis using a fine needle for precise microinjections
Popular treatment areas are:
- Face
- Under eyes
- Neck and décolletage
- Hands
- Stomach
- Scars or stretch marks
