Additional Information

What it is:

Polynucleotides are a type of injectable skin booster that works by repairing the aged, damaged skin as well as stimulating the natural repair and regeneration processes of the skin. These innovative injections contain a chain of nucleotides, the building blocks of DNA and RNA, which play a crucial role in cell growth and repair.

How does it work:

When polynucleotides are injected into the skin, they interact with the skin cells, triggering a cascade of biological responses. This includes the activation of fibroblasts, the cells responsible for producing collagen and elastin, which are essential proteins for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness.

1. The advantages of polynucleotide injections over other injectable skin boosters are significant:
2. Enhanced Skin Rejuvenation: By blocking some of the signals that cause skin ageing and stimulating the skin regeneration processes, polynucleotide injections not only provide immediate hydration and plumpness to the skin, but they also delay ageing and lead to long-term improvements in skin texture, firmness, and elasticity, resulting in a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.
3. Natural Regeneration: By harnessing the body’s own repair mechanisms, polynucleotides promote natural skin regeneration. This means that the results are gradual and natural-looking, avoiding the artificial or overdone appearance that can sometimes occur with other injectable treatments.
4. Versatility: Polynucleotide injections are suitable for various skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, dullness, and uneven skin tone. They can be used on multiple areas of the face, including the forehead, cheeks, nasolabial folds, and around the eyes.
5. Minimal Downtime: Compared to more invasive procedures, polynucleotide injections have minimal downtime. Most individuals can resume their daily activities immediately after the treatment, with only mild redness or swelling that subsides quickly.
6. Long-lasting Results: The effects of polynucleotide injections can last for several months, depending on individual factors such as skin condition and lifestyle. Regular maintenance treatments can help prolong the benefits and promote ongoing skin rejuvenation.

Benefits:

Improved Skin Elasticity: PN injections encourage the synthesis of collagen, a crucial protein responsible for maintaining skin firmness and elasticity. As collagen production increases, patients may notice a visible reduction in fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes.

Enhanced Skin Hydration: The polynucleotides have hydrating properties, attracting moisture to the treated area. This results in improved skin hydration, which is essential for a supple and youthful complexion. Hydrated skin is also more resilient, reducing the appearance of fine lines.

1. Reduced Dark Circles and Puffiness: The revitalizing effects of PN extend beyond fine lines and wrinkles. The treatment can address concerns such as dark circles and puffiness, creating a refreshed and well-rested look.
2. Minimal Downtime: PN injections are minimally invasive, offering patients the advantage of minimal downtime. Unlike surgical procedures, this non-surgical approach allows individuals to resume their daily activities shortly after treatment.
3. Long-lasting Results: While individual responses may vary, many patients report long-lasting results with PN injections. The stimulation of collagen production continues over time, contributing to sustained improvements in skin quality.

Can it be combined with other treatments?

Yes, Combining PN injections with other cosmetic treatments can enhance the overall outcome.

Combining polynucleotide (PN) injections with non-invasive skin tightening procedures such as Thermage, Infini, or High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) can potentially provide enhanced results for overall skin rejuvenation. Here’s a brief overview of how each of these treatments works and how they might complement PN injections:

1. Thermage:
   • How it works: Thermage uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to heat the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production and resulting in skin tightening.
   • Combination with Polynucleotide injections: Combining Thermage with PN injections may provide a synergistic effect, addressing both surface texture improvement (with PN) and deeper skin tightening (with Thermage).
2. Infini:
   • How it works: Infini is a micro needling device that delivers RF energy to the skin’s deeper layers through insulated micro needles, promoting collagen production and tightening.
   • Combination with Polynucleotide injections: Combining Infini with PN injections can target both the surface and deeper layers of the skin, potentially improving skin texture, elasticity, and firmness.
3. High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU):
   • How it works: HIFU delivers focused ultrasound energy to the skin’s deep layers, stimulating collagen production and leading to skin tightening and lifting effects.
   • Combination with PN: Combining HIFU with PN injections may provide a comprehensive approach to skin rejuvenation, addressing both volume loss and skin laxity.

Polynucleotide injections can be used to enhance the results of most cosmetic treatments: muscle relaxant, dermal fillers, laser treatments, peels, Prp etc.
