Polynucleotide treatments provide a natural and effective solution for skin and hair rejuvenation. By working with your body’s natural processes, they deliver subtle results that enhance your confidence and overall appearance. Whether you’re looking to improve your skin’s texture or address thinning hair, this treatment might just be the perfect fit for you.
What Can Polynucleotides Treat
We use Polynucleotide treatments to treat:
Under-Eye Concerns
The thin, delicate skin under the eyes often shows early signs of aging. Polynucleotides can help rejuvenate this area, reducing dark circles and fine lines for a more rested appearance.
Skin Rejuvenation
Polynucleotides injections help to restore youthful vitality to aging or crepey skin. They enhance skin elasticity, improve hydration, and smooth fine lines and wrinkles.
Hair Loss
Polynucleotide treatments help reduce hair thinning and early-stage androgenetic alopecia. By improving scalp health and enhancing blood flow, they create a nurturing environment for hair follicles to thrive, slowing hair loss and encouraging regrowth.
What is a Polynucleotide Injection?
Polynucleotides are fragments of DNA and RNA derived from purified salmon sperm. Before you balk, it’s worth noting that these naturally occurring molecules have remarkable bioactive properties that are safe and highly effective in stimulating regeneration within human tissue. Their success lies in their biocompatibility and ability to trigger tissue repair.
Polynucleotides work by enhancing the skin and scalp's ability to heal itself. When injected into the skin, these molecules improve cellular activity by stimulating fibroblasts, the cells responsible for producing collagen and elastin.
They also promote angiogenesis, or the formation of new blood vessels, which enhances oxygen and nutrient delivery to the treated area. This improves skin elasticity, hydration, texture, or scalp health for improved hair growth.
What to Expect During Treatment
The treatment process with polynucleotides is straightforward and minimally invasive, making it an attractive option for those seeking natural and effective rejuvenation.
- Consultation: Your practitioner will assess your skin or hair concerns, discuss your medical history, and determine if polynucleotide therapy is suitable for you. They’ll also set realistic expectations for the results you can achieve.
- Preparation: On the day of your procedure, your skin will be thoroughly cleansed, and a numbing cream or spray may be applied to minimize discomfort.
-
Treatment: A series of micro-doses using a fine needle are injected. This usually takes about 40 mins, but for larger hair areas can be up to 75 mins.
Post-treatment: Immediately afterward the micro-does will be visible aas tiny little bumps on the skin. The Polynucleotide serum is absorbed over the next 24-72 hours during which time these bumps disappear.
Aftercare
After the procedure, you may notice mild redness, swelling, or small injection marks. These typically resolve within 24-72 hours. In some cases, there might be minor bruising, which can last up to 2 weeks, but can be concealed with makeup once the skin heals.
- Hands Off: Avoid touching or rubbing the treated area to minimize the risk of infection or irritation for 6 hours.
- Avoid Makeup: For the first 24 hours, avoid applying makeup or using heavy skincare products to allow the skin to recover and prevent infection.
- Activities to Avoid: Refrain from intense workouts, saunas, or hot baths for 48 hours to reduce the risk of swelling or irritation. And further beauty treatments to the area.
Are polynucleotide treatments safe?
Yes, they are extremely safe. Polynucleotides are biocompatible and derived from natural sources, however they are unsuitable for people with:
- Fish or shellfish allergies.
- Autoimmune disease.
- Vascular disease.
- History of keloid scarring.
Why don't we use polynucleotides from plants?
At present polynucleotides serums derived from plants have not been scientifically proven to be as effective as those derived from fish.
Are the polynucleotide results permanent?
While the results are long-lasting, they are not permanent. The natural aging process and environmental factors will continue to affect your skin and hair over time.
Is there an age limit to polynucleotide treatments?
Polynucleotide treatments are suitable for adults aged 30 - 60. Younger patients may use them preventatively, while older individuals can address existing concerns like aging or hair thinning.
Can polynucleotides be used for sensitive skin?
Yes, polynucleotides are gentle and suitable for sensitive skin. Their anti-inflammatory properties make them especially beneficial for calming irritation or redness.
How do polynucleotides compare to dermal fillers?
While both treatments improve skin appearance, polynucleotides focus on regeneration and repair, whereas fillers add instant volume. The two can be combined as part of a treatment plan.
When to Expect Results
Polynucleotide treatments are not an instant solution, but instead provide progressive and natural-looking results. A treatment plan normally requires multiple treatments:
- Skin: 3 treatments spaced 3-4 weeks apart.
- Hair: 4 treatments spaced 1-2 weeks apart and then 4 treatments 3-4 weeks apart.
Gradual Improvement
It takes time for collagen and elastin production to increase, so you’ll start to notice improvements in skin texture and elasticity at about 10-12 weeks. For hair treatments, early results may include a healthier scalp and reduced hair shedding.
Longevity
The effects of polynucleotide treatments can last 6 months, depending on your skin or hair condition and lifestyle factors. Maintenance sessions are recommended to prolong the benefits;
- Skin: Polynucleotide booster treatment every 6 months.
- Hair: Polynucleotide booster treatment every 2 months.
