Polynucleotides are injectable elastic and reabsorbable gel-like products, used to reduce wrinkles, diminish crepiness, scars, and brown spots, tighten pores, and reduce stretch marks on the body.

In the simplest of terms, they are are injectable, sterile and highly purified products, derived from fish, typically salmon or trout.

The hydration and anti-free radical properties of polynucleotides help to create the optimal environment for fibroblast growth, responsible for generating collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid, essential for resilient skin.

How do they differ from Profhilo?

Although they have similar hydrating effectsto other skin boosters such as Profhilo, polynucleotides actively signal cells to produce collagen and elastin. They address areas where many skin boosters cannot, such as the eyes, lips, and forehead.

Where are polynucleotides typically injected?

Polynucleotides can be effectively used for various facial areas including under the eyes, neck, and even the jawline and cheekbones. Currently, the most sought-after application tends to be the under-eye area.

What do polynucleotide treatments involve?

Polynucleotides treatment typically involves two to three sessions, spaced approximately two weeks apart, depending on the individuals needs. Before administering the injections, an anaesthetic cream is applied to numb the area, and then the product is injected into the targeted area of the face or neck.

When do you see the results and how long do they last?

Patients will begin to notice results quite soon after the initial session, but the second session jumpstarts the remodelling process. The product continues its effects for the first 12 weeks, progressively improving over time. However, you will usually experience an early improvement and lift after the first session.

Typically, the effects of polynucleotide treatments last for approximately six months before requiring a maintenance session.
