AREAS: Face, neck, around the eyes and mouth
TYPE: Injectable polynucleotides
RESULTS: Stimulate collagen production, reduce inflammation, and improve skin elasticity, firmness, and hydration, effectively treating fine lines, wrinkles, scarring, dark circles, and promoting overall skin regeneration.
What are regenerative treatments (polynucleotides)?
Polynucleotides are a newly emerging trend in anti-ageing injections that stimulate tissue repair and encourage restoration and regeneration of the skin from within. They can be used in a wide range of applications as a rejuvenating treatment for older skin and as a preventative treatment for younger skin.
Polynucleotides (full name polydeoxyribonucleotides) are long chains of nucleotides that make up DNA and RNA molecules. They are derived from fragments of fish DNA (which resemble human DNA), which means they have the ability to function as a biostimulator, kick-starting regeneration in the skin. Not only are they anti-inflammatory, thanks to their antioxidant properties, but they increase collagen production, resulting in a thicker, healthier epidermis.
Research shows that polynucleotides can increase collagen by up to 47% in 23 days and help create a thicker, healthier epidermis with improvements of 52% in 23 days. With a range of applications, the benefits of polynucleotides include:
- Stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, which helps to improve skin elasticity and firmness, enhancing the results of other treatments, as well as reducing the appearance of wrinkles and sagging skin
- Reducing inflammation, restoring volume and hydration to the skin
- Helping to protect the skin from damage caused by the sun
- Little downtime compared to other injectables
Polynucleotides treatment applications
Polynucleotides are being used to reverse the ageing of tissues and repair scarring by tackling the concern from the source, in contrast to the traditional approach, for example with fillers, which focuses on treating symptoms. Some of the applications of polynucleotides include:
- Rejuvenating treatment for older skin to treat fine lines and wrinkles
- Preventative treatment for younger skin
- Rehydration for dull skin at any age
- Treating dark circles as an alternative to tear trough fillers
- Strengthening delicate areas of skin such as around the eyes and mouth
- Reducing inflammation to helps with conditions such as rosacea
- Treating hyperpigmentation, sun damage, scarring, stretch marks and acne
- Treating alopecia and hair loss
In addition to their success rate with these applications, polynucleotides work well alongside other treatments, enhancing their effects, such as by boosting the longevity of anti-wrinkle injections.
