Polynucleotides (PNs) are long chains made up of nucleotides, the building blocks of DNA and RNA.

They sound a bit scientific, but they’re actually super helpful when it comes to skincare!

Think of them as tiny helpers that support skin health and repair. They can come from different sources, like salmon, trout or plants and they offer some amazing benefits for your skin.

How Polynucleotides Benefit Your Skin 

  1. Boost Skin Regeneration & Repair 
    PNs help your skin repair and regenerate by encouraging cell turnover. This means they help heal skin damage from things like sun exposure or pollution—giving your skin a fresh, healthy glow!

  2. Fight the Signs of Ageing 
    By stimulating collagen and elastin production, PNs help keep your skin firm, smooth, and youthful-looking. That means less fine lines and wrinkles, and a firmer, plumper complexion. 

  3. Deep Hydration 
    Polynucleotides are like a moisture magnet! They attract and hold onto water, keeping your skin deeply hydrated and looking soft and dewy. Perfect for dry or thirsty skin! 

  4. Calm & Soothe Irritated Skin 
    If your skin gets red or irritated (like with rosacea or inflammation), PNs have anti-inflammatory powers to calm things down and restore balance. 

  5. Help Wounds Heal Faster 
    Whether it’s a small cut, scrape, or scar, PNs can speed up the healing process and reduce scarring. Your skin gets the help it needs to repair faster and look smoother! 

  6. Protect from Damage 
    PNs also have antioxidant properties that help protect your skin from environmental damage, like free radicals from pollution or sun exposure. They work as a shield to keep your skin safe! 

Polynucleotide injectables are a great option for anyone looking to rejuvenate their skin, improve hydration, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles without being invasive. They are often considered a more natural alternative to other injectable treatments like botulinum toxin or fillers.

A course of 3-4 treatments is usually recommended a few weeks apart.

  • When Will You See Results?
    You may start noticing improvements within a few days to a week after treatment, with longer-lasting results appearing over the course of several weeks as your skin regenerates and heals.

  • How Long Do the Results Last?
    The effects typically last for 6 months to 1 year, depending on your skin’s condition and the areas treated. 

Whether you’re looking to smooth out some wrinkles or restore a youthful glow, this treatment can be a great addition to your skincare routine!
