Polynucleotides
Polynucleotides are natural DNA fragments extracted from salmon. They are molecules made up of multiple nucleotides, which are the building blocks of DNA and RNA. In the context of skincare, they are valued for their regenerative and rejuvenating properties.
Polynucleotides are believed to aid in cellular repair and promote the regeneration of skin cells by boosting fibroblast activity, which is crucial for collagen production. They have anti-inflammatory effects that can help soothe the skin and reduce redness, making them beneficial for people with sensitive skin. They also enhance the skin's hydration levels, improving elasticity and giving the skin a plumper, more youthful appearance. Pretty clever stuff!
The current appeal, especially in the celeb world, lies in their ability to rejuvenate and revitalize the skin without invasive procedures. I start by numbing the areas, then marking the under eyes or mid to lower areas of the face which is typically where a client will achieve best results. You will then see the effectiveness which may need another top up session 4-6 weeks post initial injections. Their safe, bio-compatible products that deliver visible results without significant downtime or risk.
FAQ’s
-
Firstly, there is a combination of hyaluronic acid, bioactive peptides and amino acids along side salmon DNA. Salmon DNA is commonly used in polynucleotides due to its structural similarity to human DNA, enabling better integration and functionality within human tissues. The salmon primarily consist of DNA and RNA fragments. These nucleic acids are critical for cellular function, promoting cellular growth, repair, and regeneration. They stimulate fibroblasts, which are vital for collagen and elastin creation, leading to the benefits explained in the previous slide.

The frequency of injections typically depends on the individual and their goals but it is generally advised every 4 to 6 weeks for the initial treatment phase, followed by maintenance sessions every 6 to 12 months. I offer free consultations and am available to answer any questions or queries you have about this revolutionary product!

When it comes to the application of polynucleotides in the aesthetics world, particularly via injectables, there is typically some level of discomfort involved, as is common with any form of injections. However, I use topical numbing creams and keep the injections very superficial which helps minimise pain and make the procedure as comfortable as possible for clients.
The sensation is often described as mild and temporary, with many people tolerating it well. It's always best to discuss any pain concerns with myself beforehand, as I can provide detailed information specific to their techniques and what you can expect during and after the treatment.

Your expression lines will return gradually. If you choose to maintain the effect with muscle relaxants you will require repeat injections 2 to 3 times per year.
