Polynucleotides.
Polynucleotides are purified, natural DNA fragments—commonly sourced from salmon or trout—used in aesthetic medicine as bio-stimulating injectables. Unlike dermal fillers, they do not add artificial volume or alter facial shape. Instead, they repair skin at a cellular level by activating fibroblasts to produce collagen and elastin.
How They Work
• Cellular Regeneration: They trigger the body’s natural healing response and encourage new cell growth.
• Collagen & Elastin Boost: They stimulate fibroblasts to improve skin firmness, thickness, and elasticity.
• Deep Hydration: The DNA molecules bind to water and act as antioxidants to neutralize free radicals from UV rays and stress.
Common Treatment Areas
• Under-Eye Area: Frequently used to soften dark circles, fine lines, and crepey skin without causing puffiness.
• Face, Neck, & Décolletage: Smooths out fine lines and improves overall skin texture.
• Scars & Stretch Marks: Helps repair damaged tissue and improve acne scars.
What to Expect
• Course of Sessions: Most clinics recommend an initial course of 2 to 3 sessions spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart.
• Results Timeline: Improvements are gradual and build over 3 to 6 months as new collagen forms.
• Maintenance: Top-up sessions are typically suggested every 6 to 12 months.
