POLYNUCLEOTIDES 

Polynucleotide injections are a non-surgical, advanced treatment designed to rejuvenate and restore skin by promoting natural repair processes. This treatment is ideal for individuals looking to improve skin texture, hydration, and elasticity, as well as reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of aging. Polynucleotides stimulate the body’s collagen production, leading to smoother, plumper skin. Additionally, they can help with skin concerns like scars, stretch marks, and pigmentation.

​

INDICATIONS

Polynucleotide injections are indicated for individuals who want to enhance skin quality and address signs of aging or skin imperfections. Common areas treated include the under-eye region, fine lines on the face, smoker's lines, neck, décolletage, and stretch marks. Polynucleotide injections are also beneficial for improving the appearance of scars or skin imperfections. The amount of polynucleotide used and the areas treated will depend on a thorough assessment of the skin’s condition and the patient's specific aesthetic goals.

 

PROCEDURE & DURATION

The procedure for polynucleotide injections is quick, minimally invasive, and generally well-tolerated. During the treatment, small amounts of polynucleotide solution are injected into the target areas, where they work to stimulate collagen production and enhance skin regeneration. The injection process typically takes 20 to 45 minutes, depending on the areas being treated and the severity of the skin concerns.

For those with sensitive skin, a numbing cream can be applied before the procedure to increase comfort. Most patients report only minimal discomfort during the treatment.

After the procedure, there is minimal downtime, although mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites may occur. These side effects typically resolve within a few days, allowing most individuals to resume their daily activities without interruption.
 

ONSET & DURATION OF EFFECTS

Results from polynucleotide injections are gradual but can become visible within a few days to a week as the skin begins to regenerate and improve in hydration and texture. Full effects are typically seen within 4-6 weeks, as collagen production continues over time, leading to smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.

The effects of polynucleotide injections are long-lasting but not permanent. To maintain the desired results, most patients opt for follow-up treatments every 6 to 12 months. The number of sessions needed will vary based on the skin’s condition and the areas being treated. In some cases, multiple sessions may be required for optimal results, particularly for concerns like deep wrinkles or severe skin laxity.

 

CONTRAINDICATIONS & CAUTIONS

Polynucleotide injections are generally safe, but they are not suitable for everyone. Contraindications include individuals with active skin infections, allergies to the ingredients in the solution, autoimmune conditions affecting the skin, or fish allergies, as the polynucleotide solution is derived from fish-based products. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also avoid this treatment.

It is important for patients to inform their practitioner of any medications they are taking, as some treatments may affect healing or increase the risk of bruising.

By promoting natural collagen production and skin renewal, polynucleotide injections offer a versatile and effective solution for addressing a wide range of aesthetic concerns, from fine lines and wrinkles to scars, stretch marks, and skin texture improvements.
