Polynucleotide
What Are Polynucleotides?
Polynucleotides are chains of nucleotides, which are the fundamental components of DNA. DNA regulates many vital bodily functions, including skin development. When polynucleotide chains are introduced to the skin through multiple small injections, they aid in repairing damaged DNA cells within the skin, thereby enhancing cellular function. For instance, polynucleotides stimulate fibroblast cells, which are responsible for forming connective tissues such as collagen and elastin – key proteins that give the skin its structure, volume, and youthful appearance.
Polynucleotide treatments also possess anti-free radical properties, which help protect the skin from harmful factors such as stress and sun exposure.
In essence, polynucleotides are considered a type of ‘regenerative’ treatment. They modify the expression of DNA, encouraging the body’s natural mechanisms to generate healthier skin cells.
Niacinamide
Niacinamide, also known as vitamin B3 or nicotinamide, is a water-soluble vitamin that collaborates with the natural substances in your skin to provide several benefits. It helps to visibly minimize enlarged pores, tighten lax or stretched-out pores, improve uneven skin tone, soften fine lines and wrinkles, reduce dullness, and fortify a weakened skin barrier.
What should I do after my polynucleotide treatment?
Dos:
- Avoid the sun.
- Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily, ideally SPF 30+.
- Use collagen-stimulating peptides. .
- Keep hydrated
Don’t:
- Use ‘active’ skincare products (retinols, AHAs, acids) until recommended by your practitioner.
- Use makeup for 24-48 hours after treatment.
- Engage in strenuous exercise, as sweating can enable bacteria to enter the channels created during the treatment.
- Take NSAIDs
Benefits of Polynucleotides
- Stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, enhancing skin elasticity and firmness.
- Reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin.
- Improve skin hydration and texture.
- Reduce inflammation and redness.
- Help protect the skin from sun damage
Frequently Asked Question About Dermal Filler (FAQ's)
Polynucleotides can be used effectively under the eyes, for the face and neck, and even for the jawline and cheekbones
For optimal results, we recommend undergoing a series of four polynucleotide treatments, with each session spaced 2-4 weeks apart.
Polynucleotide treatments typically take a few weeks to show visible results, with full effects becoming more apparent over several months. Over time, the skin gradually improves in texture, firmness, and hydration.
Polynucleotides are highly effective at boosting fibroblast production and inducing deep tissue repair processes, thereby enhancing the overall quality of the skin.
