Polynucleotides

With the advancement of aesthetic technologies it’s now possible for clients to achieve improved collagen, skin quality, a reduction in scaring and acne scaring along with improvements in the texture and elasticity of the skin with Polynucleotides.

Polynucleotides are chains of nucleotides, which are the building blocks that make up DNA. DNA controls many important bodily functions, including how the skin develops. When polynucleotide chains are introduced to the skin (through multiple small injections), they help damaged DNA cells in the skin to repair and as a result, the cells function better. For instance, polynucleotides stimulate fibroblast cells, which help form connective tissues like collagen and elastin – the essential proteins that provide the skin with shape, volume, and a youthful appearance.

The polynucleotide chains can also:

• improve the extracellular matrix of skin cells, boosting hydration
• stabilise pigmentation
• reduce inflammation

Polynucleotide treatments can also have an anti-free radical action, helping to counteract and protect the skin from factors like stress and the sun.

In this sense, polynucleotides are a type of ‘regenerative’ treatment, meaning they change how DNA is expressed, encouraging the body’s natural mechanisms to generate healthier skin cells.

By encouraging cell growth and turnover, improving elasticity, hydrating the skin, and offering anti-inflammatory properties, polynucleotides can help treat a range of concerns, such as:

• wrinkles, lines and sunken skin as a result of lost collagen and elastin in the ageing process
• dry, dehydrated skin
• dark circles
• rosacea
• acne scarring
• hyperpigmentation.

This innovative new treatment offers a host of possibilities as it can be used on many areas of the body, to include the upper, mid, and lower face, including areas such as under the eyes and the cheekbones. Polynucleotides can also be used in areas such as:

• eyes
• neck
• thighs
• hair
• eyebrows
• beard
• lips
• décolletage
• inner arms
