The Power of Polynucleotides

Discover the benefits of polynucleotide injections for rejuvenating skin and reducing eye bags effectively.

What are polynucleotides?

Polynucleotides are derived from purified salmon sperm DNA. It uses natural polynucleotides—long-chain molecules derived from purified salmon sperm DNA—to stimulate cellular renewal, enhance skin elasticity, and improve hydration. This treatment effectively addresses concerns like photoaging, sun damage, acne scarring, and fine lines, leaving your skin looking nourished, revitalized, and youthful. When injected into the skin, they accelerate the body’s natural cell regeneration cycle and enhance its repair mechanisms. This process helps to improve skin quality, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and tighten and thicken the skin.

What is in polynucleotides?

Polynucleotides contain DNA fragments extracted from salmon sperm. These fragments work on fibroblast cells, which are responsible for collagen production. By stimulating these cells, polynucleotides increase collagen levels, leading to smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin. Once the polynucleotides have done their job, they are naturally metabolized by the body, leaving no residue behind.

What Are the Benefits of Polynucleotide Treatment?

Polynucleotide treatment offers a wide range of benefits, including:

• Enhanced Skin Texture: Smoother, more even complexion.

• Improved Hydration: Fuller, plumper, and more hydrated skin.

• Reduced Signs of Aging: Diminished fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin.

• Increased Elasticity and Firmness: Especially beneficial for delicate areas like the under-eyes and neck.

• Natural and Long-Lasting Results: Gradual improvements that blend seamlessly with your skin’s natural appearance.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Polynucleotide Treatment?

Polynucleotide treatment is suitable for individuals of all ages looking to improve skin quality, address signs of aging, or treat specific concerns like scarring or sun damage. During your consultation at Cambridge Skin Clinic, our experts will assess your skin and create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.

What Areas Can Be Treated with Polynucleotides?

Polynucleotides are versatile and can be used on various parts of the body. They are particularly popular for treating the under-eye area due to the thin and delicate skin in this region. However, they can also be applied to the face, neck, décolletage, and other areas where skin rejuvenation is desired.

How Many Treatments Are Needed?

For optimal results, a course of 3 sessions is recommended, spaced 3 weeks apart. This structured approach ensures sustained improvement in skin quality and long-lasting benefits. Maintenance sessions every 6 months can help preserve the results.

How Quickly Will I See Results?

While some hydration and plumping effects are noticeable immediately, significant improvements in skin texture, elasticity, and firmness typically appear within 4-6 weeks. Most clients report visible changes within the first month, with continued enhancement over subsequent months.

How Long Do the Results Last?

The rejuvenating effects of polynucleotide treatment last for approximately 6 months. To maintain the results, a follow-up session is recommended after this period.

Is There Any Downtime After Polynucleotide Treatment?

Polynucleotide treatment requires minimal to no downtime. You may experience slight redness, swelling, or tenderness at the injection site immediately after the procedure, but these effects are temporary and usually subside within a few hours to a couple of days. You’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery, and most clients can return to their daily activities right away.

Is Polynucleotide Treatment Safe?

Yes, polynucleotide treatment is safe and well-tolerated. Polynucleotide treatments have been used in medical applications for over 20 years and have an excellent safety profile. Derived from natural compounds found in the body, these injections are well-tolerated by most individuals and carry no risk of allergic reactions. The products we use, Plinest and Nucleofill, are polynucleotide treatments with CE certification, ensuring they meet the highest European safety standards.

What Are the Side Effects?

Polynucleotide treatments are minimally invasive and have no serious side effects. Some clients may experience mild redness, swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the injection site, which typically resolves within 3-4 days. However, as with any medical procedure, there are some potential side effects to be aware of:

• Risk of Infection: While rare, any injection-based treatment carries a slight risk of infection. At Cambridge Skin Clinic, we adhere to the highest standards of hygiene and safety to minimize this risk.

• Injection Site Reactions: Mild redness, swelling, bruising, or tenderness may occur at the injection sites. These reactions are temporary and typically resolve within a few days.

• Allergic Reactions: Although uncommon, allergic responses to components in the polynucleotide formula can occur. It’s important to discuss any known allergies with your practitioner during your consultation.

• Temporary Discomfort: Some clients may experience slight itching or discomfort at the injection sites, but this usually subsides quickly.

Rest assured, our team is dedicated to ensuring your safety and comfort throughout the treatment process. If you have any concerns, we’re here to address them and provide personalized care.

Can Polynucleotide Treatment Be Combined with Other Procedures?

Absolutely! Polynucleotide treatment pairs well with other aesthetic procedures to enhance results. Popular combinations include:

• Laser and Light Treatments: For improved skin texture and tone.

• Hyaluronic Acid Skin Boosters: For added hydration and plumping effects.

Are polynucleotides better than Profhilo?

Polynucleotides are considered superior to Profhilo for skin regeneration. While Profhilo primarily hydrates the skin and has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, polynucleotides actively regenerate and repair skin cells. Additionally, polynucleotides can be used in delicate areas like under the eyes, where Profhilo is not suitable. However, Profhilo remains an excellent option for hydration and plumping.

What Should I Do After Treatment?

To ensure optimal results and a smooth recovery, follow these aftercare tips:

1. Soothe the Skin: Apply a cold compress to reduce mild swelling or redness.

2. Avoid Strenuous Activities: For 24-48 hours post-treatment.

3. Protect from Sun Exposure: Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily.

4. Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water and maintain a healthy diet rich in vitamins and antioxidants.

5. Follow Up: Attend scheduled follow-up appointments to monitor progress and adjust your treatment plan if needed.
