Polynucleotides Body Treatments
Polynucleotides are one of the most popular injectable treatments and these powerful bio-stimulators can provide transformational results on both the face and body. Let's take a closer look at why Polynucleotides are so exciting and explore some of the benefits they can have for the skin on key areas of the face, neck and body.
What Exactly Are Polynucleotides?
It's a really exciting time to be in the aesthetics industry because technology and innovation are offering a wide range of new treatments with the ability to transform the appearance and health of skin on a cellular level.
Polynucleotide treatments are formulated with fragments of fish DNA, which have the ability to effectively mirror our own DNA. When polynucleotides are injected into the skin, they get to work stimulating our natural collagen and elastin production processes by up-regulating fibroblast cells. As collagen and elastin are what give our skin structure, polynucleotides are a natural way to combat common skin concerns, including laxity, fine lines and wrinkles.
Polynucleotides can also support tissue regeneration, which can improve the tone and texture of our skin, and boost hydration for skin that both looks and feels refreshed and restored. As Polynucleotides work on a cellular level, results are long lasting and can continue to provide on-going benefits with occasional maintenance treatments.
What Can Polynucleotides Treat?
Unlike other injectable skin boosters, such as Profhilo, Polynucleotides are suitable for a much wider variety of treatment areas. As well as the ability to treat the under eye area, Polynucleotides can also be used to treat skin concerns on the forehead, neck, and the body.
When used on the body, Polynucleotides can help to smooth and tighten the skin on a number of treatment areas, including the abdomen, legs and arms. The formulation used to treat the body tends to be more potent than formulations used on the more delicate areas of skin on the face.
In addition to treating skin laxity on the neck, decolletage and body, Polynucleotides can also work to minimise the experience of stretch marks to provide a more even tone and texture on the arms, hips, stomach and thighs.
In addition, Polynucleotides can be used in conjunction with an array of other aesthetic treatments, contributing to an holistic approach to skin health.
What Can I Expect From My Treatment?
Generally, optimal outcomes are achieved with three to four treatment sessions, with between two and four weeks between each session. There is very little downtime associated with this type of treatment, however some patients may experience mild swelling, slight bruising and redness, or warmth in the treatment area.
Most patients start to see results within 20 days, however as new collagen and elastin are produced in the skin, these results will continue to improve.
It is important to visit a trusted aesthetic practitioner who understands how to administer Polynucleotides to obtain the best possible outcomes. I recommend asking to see examples of a practitioner's work, such as 'before and after' photographs, as this can help to build trust which is very important.
