Polynucleotide injections have become a buzzword in the world of cosmetic treatments. Initially developed for complex wound healing, these injections are now transforming the field of aesthetics. But what are they and how can they benefit your skin?
Polynucleotide injections consist of highly purified DNA fragments extracted from freshwater fish. Despite their origin, these injections are unlikely to cause an immune response. They are completely absorbed by the tissues, making them a safe and effective option for various skin concerns.
How do they work?
Polynucleotide injections rejuvenate and enhance the skin in a number of different ways:
Polynucleotides draw water into the tissues, contributing to improved skin hydration and firmness
They stimulate the production of collagen, a protein that helps with your skin’s elasticity and strength
They boost the number of fibroblasts, which are cells that play a crucial role in wound healing and collagen production
Polynucleotides promote anti-inflammatory responses, aiding in the healing process and reducing redness
Patients can expect improved skin texture without an increase in volume. If you’re looking for a plumping effect, polynucleotides can be combined with hyaluronic acid. The regenerative benefits of these injections can be long-lasting so you may see a sustained improvement in skin quality.
What does treatment look like?
Generally three treatments are recommended at three weekly intervals followed by a maintenance treatment at around four to six months. Each session takes around 30 minutes; numbing cream is applied beforehand to make you comfortable.
What areas can they treat?
One of the remarkable aspects of polynucleotide injections is their versatility. They can be used on your face, neck and decolletage to treat various areas and conditions, including:
Fine lines and wrinkles
Dark shadowing
Hyperpigmentation
Redness (rosacea)
Scarring from acne, trauma or surgery
Intimate areas – alongside conventional treatments for vaginal dryness, itching, burning and painful intercourse
Polynucleotide injections are a great solution for those seeking to rejuvenate their skin and address specific concerns. Their effects can also be augmented with the use of lasers and microneedling and they work well with other treatments such as BotoxTM and dermal fillers. Whether used alone or in combination with other procedures polynucleotide injections can help you achieve a refreshed and revitalised appearance.
