Polynucleotides
The rise of Polynucleotides in Regenerative Medicine
In the ever-evolving world of aesthetics and regenerative medicine, polynucleotides, known as the ‘Salmon Sperm Facial’ are rapidly gaining attention as a revolutionary treatment option. Often referred to as the next big thing in skin rejuvenation. Polynucleotides are bioactive molecules derived from DNA fragments that help restore, repair, and regenerate tissue at a cellular level.
What are Polynucleotides?
Polynucleotides are long chains of nucleotides - the basic buliding blocks of DNA and RNA. When introduced into the skin, they act as biostimulants, promoting cell regeneration, improving hydration, and enhancing the skin’s structural integrity. They are typically sourced from purified salmon DNA, which closely resembles human DNA and is biocompatible and well-tolerated.
Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, which primarily add volume or moisture, polynucleotides work on a deeper, cellular level. They encourage fibroblast activity, leading to increased collagen and elastin production. This results in firmer, smoother skin over time. Moreover, their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties help reduce redness, repair damage from UV exposure, and improve skin tone and texture.
How are Polynucleotides used?
Polynucleotides are often delivered via injectable treatment. A course of treatment is required- usually 3-4 sessions, every 2-3 weeks. Ongoing maintenance sessions are then required depending on your skin needs. Polynucleotides are a biostimulator, so results begin to show from 60 days after the initial treatment.
Common treatment ares include: under the eyes, face, neck, décolleté hands, knees- the possibilities are endless.
The future of Polynucleotides
With growing consumer demand for ‘natural’ and regenerative treatments, polynucleotides are poised to become a staple in the aesthetics world. Whether used alone or in combination with other treatments, polynucleotides are undeniably ushering in a new era of regenerative aesthetics.
