Polynucleotides
About Polynucleotides
Polynucleotides are made up of highly purified fragments of DNA extracted from wild salmon or trout sperm. The trout used are the same as used for food. Salmon and trout sperm DNA closely resembles human DNA. It is perfectly safe, as the Polynucleotides are highly purified then sterilized from a licensed source, the production is regulated and the manufacture meets required CE Standards of safety. All of the protein molecules are removed so there is no risk of allergy. There are multiple published scientific research papers demonstrating safety and efficacy in medicine for the treatment of wound healing and in aesthetic
medicine.
How do they work?
Polynucleotides stimulate a receptor on cells which positively influences the following:
• Cell proliferation and regeneration
• The repair and regenerative action of fibroblast cells
• The production of collagen and elastin
• The production of Hyaluronic acid
• The production of healthy new micro blood vessels
• The function of melanocytes (skin pigmentation)
• They reduce inflammation
• Regenerate hair follicles
What can they treat?
• Dull skin
• Dry skin
• Wrinkles
• Uneven pigmentation
• Dark under eye circles
• Acne scarring
• Hair loss
• Stretch Marks
• Surgical scarring
• Not just for the face, hands, neck, chest, arms, knees. Any skin anywhere on the body.
What does the treatment involve?
The Polynucleotides are distilled into a range of strengths and suspended in water for injection. A topical numbing cream will be applied prior to injecting, to make it as comfortable as possible. Multiple small doses are injected into the superficial layer of the skin of the targeted area, using either a very small fine needle or a cannula. A course of three or four treatments 3 weeks apart is recommended to achieve optimum results.
What results can I expect?
Unlike skin boosters, results are not instant. You can expect to start seeing an improvement from about three weeks and continues to improve over a 12 week period. Skin will appear smoother and better hydrated with an improved texture. Scarring can be improved with less depth, smaller and better colour. When hair loss is targeted, new hair growth can be noted and existing hair will be healthier.
Results will vary for each individual as the outcome is dependent upon the biological response to the individual and also lifestyle factors.
How long do results last?
Longevity varies between individuals. Polynucleotides do not stop the ageing process, therefore a maintenance treatment is recommended evey six months. Lifestyle factors can affect longevity. If you choose not to maintain results with further treatment, your skin will return to how it was initially, over time.
