Polynucleotide (PN) treatment is a cutting-edge cosmetic procedure that harnesses the rejuvenating properties of nucleotides extracted from salmon DNA. These nucleotides serve as essential building blocks of DNA and play a vital role in cellular regeneration and repair.

 

How it Works:

 

PN treatment involves the precise delivery of nucleotides into the skin through microinjections or topical application. Once absorbed, these nucleotides stimulate fibroblasts—the cells responsible for collagen and elastin production—to promote tissue repair and regeneration. This process enhances skin elasticity, firmness, and hydration, resulting in a more youthful and revitalised complexion.

 

Why Choose PN Treatment:

 

Natural Approach: PN treatment offers a natural alternative to traditional anti-aging procedures by utilising the body’s innate healing mechanisms.

 

Versatility: Suitable for various skin types and concerns, PN treatment addresses signs of ageing, sun damage, and environmental stressors.

 

Long-lasting Results: With consistent treatment, PN therapy can yield lasting improvements in skin texture, tone, and overall health.

 

Safe and Well-tolerated: PN treatment is well-tolerated by most individuals and poses minimal risk of adverse reactions or complications.

 

How are Polynucleotides different from dermal fillers? 

 

Dermal fillers are usually made from a synthetic version of hyaluronic acid and act as ‘implants’ in the skin to volumize, hydrate and improve skin folds, wrinkles etc. Whilst dermal fillers can be amazing for some skin concerns there are occasions when a dermal filler is not the right choice and polynucleotides are more appropriate. For example, many people seek tear trough treatment for a tired, hollow under eye area but they may not be suitable for dermal filler. This may be because the hollowness is not deep enough, or the skin is too thin, they have dark circles or they have some undereye puffiness. So for these individuals who are not suitable for tear trough treatment, polynucleotide treatment may be much more appropriate. Another example would be someone who had some skin laxity (loose skin) but does not require volumisation – polynucleotide treatment would help to firm and restore the skin without the addition of unnecessary volume.

 

Areas Targeted:

PN treatment can effectively address a range of cosmetic concerns across different areas of the face and body. Common treatment areas include the face, neck, décolletage, hands, and areas prone to fine lines, wrinkles, and volume loss.

 

Benefits:

 

Stimulates Collagen Synthesis: PN treatment triggers the production of collagen, a structural protein that provides support and elasticity to the skin, resulting in firmer, more resilient skin.

 

Improves Skin Hydration: By enhancing moisture retention and supporting the skin’s natural barrier function, PN therapy helps combat dryness and dehydration, leading to softer, smoother skin.

 

Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles: PN treatment targets fine lines and wrinkles, smoothing the skin’s surface and minimising the appearance of age-related imperfections.

 

Enhances Skin Tone and Clarity: With regular PN sessions, skin tone becomes more even, and pigmentation issues such as sunspots and discoloration are diminished, revealing a brighter, more radiant complexion.

 

Boosts Skin Vitality: PN therapy revitalises tired and dull-looking skin, restoring its natural vitality and luminosity for a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance.

FAQs

PN treatment typically involves minimal discomfort, as topical numbing agents are often applied prior to the procedure to alleviate any potential pain. Patients may experience a slight sensation of pressure or mild discomfort during the injection process, but it is generally well-tolerated.

Following PN treatment, patients may experience some temporary side effects such as redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites. However, these effects usually subside within a few hours to days, allowing patients to resume their daily activities without significant interruption.

The number of PN treatment sessions required can vary depending on factors such as the patient’s skin condition, treatment goals, and the recommendation of the practitioner. While some individuals may achieve satisfactory results with a single session, others may require multiple sessions spaced over several weeks for optimal outcomes.

PN treatment sessions typically last between 30 to 60 minutes, although the exact duration may vary depending on the areas being treated and the specific protocol used by the practitioner. Patients can expect a relatively quick and convenient procedure that fits well into their busy schedules.

While some patients may notice immediate improvements in their skin’s appearance following PN treatment, significant results typically develop gradually over time with continued sessions. It may take several weeks to months for patients to fully appreciate the benefits of PN therapy, including enhanced skin texture, tone, and hydration.
