REJUVENATE YOUR SKIN WITH POLYNUCLEOTIDE TREATMENTS

For skin that has lost its youthful exuberance and bounce, polynucleotide injectable treatments are the perfect solution.

What are polynucleotides?

Polynucleotide treatments, commonly referred to as salmon sperm facials, are the hottest topic of the aesthetic industry at the moment and with their rapid surge in popularity, it’s essential to understand what these restorative injectables are. But what are polynucleotides, and how can they help resolve your clients’ top concerns?

​

In the world of aesthetics, polynucleotides are known as the future of regenerative injectables and are hailed for their ability to rejuvenate and regenerate the skin. Although similar to skin boosters, polynucleotide injectables are separated and well-recognised for their complex structures and ability to rejuvenate the skin with natural-looking results. However, unlike skin boosters, injectable polynucleotides are also renowned for their wound-healing and bio-stimulating properties.

​

What do polynucleotides do?

Polynucleotide injectables employ filtered, ultra-purified, and sterilised fractions of DNA, which are capable of rejuvenating the skin. Predominantly derived from salmon or trout DNA, polynucleotides are designed to stimulate fibroblasts, promoting tissue repair, enhancing cell turnover, increasing elasticity, and stimulating collagen production. Additionally, they can soothe inflammation and restore the balance of melanocyte activity (skin pigmentation), resulting in a more even and refreshed skin tone without adding the volume associated with products like dermal fillers.

​

Also frequently known as PN or PDRN, polynucleotides are categorised as a regenerative treatment to revitalise the skin on a deeper level. These injectables provide DNA molecules that encourage the skin to repair itself and promote various immediate and long-term skin-boosting benefits. This exciting advancement in regenerative medicine focuses on restoring normal cellular function by repairing the skin at a deeper level.

​

Do polynucleotides hurt?

While some discomfort may occur during the injection process, many clients describe it as mild. To reduce discomfort, topical numbing cream is applied beforehand.

​

Are there any side effects or complications?

Polynucleotides treatments are generally safe, but like any aesthetic procedure, they can cause mild side effects. 

​

• Swelling and Redness: Temporary swelling and redness at the injection site are common, indicating the body’s natural response to the treatment. These typically subside within a day or two.

• Bruising and Discomfort: The injection process may cause mild bruising and discomfort. These effects are temporary and can be minimized with proper aftercare, such as using a cold compress.

• Itching and Tenderness: Some patients may experience itching or tenderness in the treated area. These sensations usually resolve within a few days as the skin adapts to the treatment.

​

Rare complications

• Risk of Infection: Improper injection techniques or unsanitary conditions can lead to infections, which occur when bacteria enter the skin during treatment. Symptoms may include redness, warmth, or pus formation at the injection site. Choosing a skilled professional and a reputable clinic significantly reduces this risk.

• Allergic Reactions: While uncommon, some individuals may experience allergic responses such as severe itching, redness, or swelling. These reactions may stem from sensitivity to certain ingredients in the formulation. Immediate medical attention is crucial to manage symptoms effectively.

• Nodule Formation: Hard lumps or granulomas can develop under the skin due to the body’s response to the injected material. These nodules may persist if left untreated, but early detection and professional intervention can prevent long-term complications.
