Polynucleotide Treatment

FAQ

• What is polynucleotide skin rejuvenation?

  Polynucleotide skin rejuvenation is a powerful and effective injectable treatment which harnesses the technology of natural polynucleotide-based bio-stimulating gel to restore skin firmness, tone and elasticity whilst blocking the free radicals which are responsible for premature ageing.

  Polynucleotides help to improve the eye area by stimulating collagen, restructuring the tissues and regenerating the skin with improvement of superficial wrinkles and tightening of the skin, as well as an improvement in pigmentation and firmness.

• How does polynucleotide skin rejuvenation work?

  By stimulating the metabolic activity of the fibroblastic cells (the major cells responsible for the production of collagen) polynucleotides naturally maintain the physiological functionality of the dermis, enabling production of the healthy collagen we have in our youth.

   

• What areas can be treated with polynucleotides?

  Polynucleotides are uniquely suitable for many different parts of the body, administered safely to the sensitive under eye area as well as other areas of the face, neck, décolleté, underarms, hands, inner thighs, abdomen and knees.

• Are polynucleotides better suited to treating the eye area than traditional dermal fillers?

  Historically, fine lines, wrinkles, puffiness, bags and other signs of ageing around the eye area have been difficult to treat, due to the delicate structure of the skin. By harnessing new technology using injectable polynucleotides, this treatment enables these problems to be treated effectively, where traditional treatment with HA based dermal filler has been previously unsuitable due to a risk of swelling.

• Is treatment with polynucleotides safe?

  Polynucleotide treatments are considered one of the safest skin regeneration treatments. As the polynucleotides are made from highly purified marine DNA, it is highly compatible with our bodies without triggering an immune response.

• What results should I expect following treatment with polynucleotides?

  Typically, initial results are visible around one week post-treatment. At this stage you should expect to see an improvement in skin hydration, with skin at the treatment site appearing smoother and visibly plumped. Optimum results are seen after the second or third treatment.

• Is there any downtime following polynucleotide skin rejuvenation treatment?

  Immediately after treatment there may be some slight bruising, swelling, and redness around the treated area.  However, symptoms are usually mild and short-lived.
