Polynucleotides
Polynucleotides are the new skin-boosting technology taking the market by storm. The new face and body injectable is fast gaining traction for its ability to rejuvenate and regenerate the skin.
With over 90 clinical trials and a proven track record in tissue and cartilage regenerative medicine, the evidence for Polynucleotide’s power is undisputed in both the medical and aesthetic fields. Once filtered and ultra-purified, natural DNA fractions initiate your body’s natural fibroblast production, resulting in increased collagen (47% in 23 days) and a thicker, healthier epidermis (52% in 23 days). Thanks to polynucleotides’ antioxidant properties, inflammation is reduced and youthful volume and hydration is restored. The list of applications seems endless, but key uses include;
Acne
Atrophic scarring
Rosacea
Elastosis
Alopecia/hair loss
Holistic skin revitalisation to combat general signs of ageing
Hyperpigmentation
Stretch marks
Deep lines & wrinkles
Rehydration for dull skin at any age
Preparation and recovery pre/post procedures and surgeries (medical & aesthetic)
Procedure Time: 30 Minutes
Recovery Time: 36 Hrs (Can resume work same day)
Results: You will normally see a change begin to occur after approx 21 to 28 days after treatment, and this will continue to improve for the next couple of months once the course of treatment is finished.
Risks: Bruising and temporary swelling.
Polynucleotides are the latest revolutionary tools in regenerative medicine that work on a cellular level to repair tissue and boost skin quality.
​
In the form of polymerised polynucleotide-based injectable gels, polynucleotides work by stimulating fibroblasts which encourages cell turnover, improves elasticity, boosts collagen production and hydrates skin thanks to powerful wound-healing polymers.
​
Polynucleotides also calm inflammation and rebalance melanocyte activity to create an even and refreshed skin tone.
How often should I have polynucleotides?
-
Polynucleotides are suitable at any age, at any time of year.

Whilst there is a benefit to having even one syringe of polynucleotides, we recommend a course of at least 3, each spaced 3 weeks apart.

Polynucleotides can also be incorporated into skin booster treatments such as Lumi Eyes, Profhilo, and Redensity 1 from Teoxane and many more of the treatments I offer at Nurse Gray Aesthetics.
