Polynucleotide Treatments: A Revolutionary Approach to Skin Rejuvenation
By Dr. Meg Minasian, Founder of The MW Clinic London
What Are Polynucleotides?
Polynucleotides are naturally occurring polymers consisting of nucleotide monomers. They have gained popularity in aesthetic medicine due to their ability to stimulate skin regeneration at the cellular level. Derived from DNA fragments, polynucleotides improve skin elasticity, hydration, and overall texture.
How Do Polynucleotide Treatments Work?
Polynucleotide treatments involve injecting DNA fragments into the skin, where they act as biostimulants. Once injected, polynucleotides promote fibroblast production—cells responsible for collagen and elastin. This process enhances skin elasticity, reduces fine lines, and delivers a more youthful appearance. Additionally, polynucleotides have antioxidant properties, helping to combat free radical damage and reduce pigmentation.
Key Benefits of Polynucleotide Treatments
- Enhanced Skin Elasticity: Stimulates collagen and elastin production, restoring skin firmness and elasticity.
- Hydration Boost: Improves skin moisture retention for smoother, more hydrated skin.
- Reduction of Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Significantly reduces fine lines and wrinkles, especially around the eyes and mouth.
- Improvement in Skin Texture: Promotes skin cell turnover for a smoother, more even texture.
- Safe and Natural: Derived from natural DNA fragments, polynucleotides are biocompatible and safe for most skin types.
Polynucleotides vs. Other Aesthetic Treatments
Unlike Botox and hyaluronic acid fillers, which temporarily paralyse muscles or add volume, polynucleotides work on a cellular level. They stimulate the skin's natural processes, offering long-term improvements in skin health and appearance.
Ideal Candidates for Polynucleotide Treatments
Polynucleotide treatments are suitable for individuals experiencing early signs of aging, such as fine lines, loss of skin elasticity, and dullness. It is also an excellent option for those looking to improve under-eye dark circles and puffiness.
What to Expect During and After the Procedure
During the procedure, a numbing cream is applied to minimize discomfort. Polynucleotides are injected using fine needles or a cannula. The procedure typically takes around 30 minutes, with minimal downtime. Some redness or swelling may occur, which usually subsides within a few hours.
Results can be seen after a few sessions, with optimal results appearing after 2-3 treatments spaced 2-4 weeks apart. Maintenance treatments every 6-12 months are recommended to sustain benefits.
Conclusion
Polynucleotide treatments offer a groundbreaking solution for natural and long-lasting skin rejuvenation. By stimulating the skin’s regenerative processes, these treatments provide comprehensive anti-aging benefits, from enhancing elasticity to improving texture and hydration.
