You'll have heard of polynucleotide treatment if you're interested in the world of skin and beauty. In fact, many people unfamiliar with skincare may also have heard of it.
But, what actually is polynucleotide treatment and how does it rejuvenate your skin? Is polynucleotide produced using salmon sperm? Is polynucleotide actually effective, or is it a fad that will shortly die out?
Keep reading to learn all you need to know about:
What polynucleotide is and what it treats.
How you can use polynucleotide for skin rejuvenation.
Whether polynucleotide is effective or not, and more.
What is Polynucleotide Treatment?
Polynucleotide is an injectable treatment for skin rejuvenation. It's made with purified DNA fragments from salmon and trout. And yes, researchers take this DNA from salmon and trout sperm.
While this may not be the most glamorous source of DNA, it is highly effective. And besides, the production process purifies and sterilizes it.
These DNA fragments are a lot like human DNA. This similarity makes them effective. Your skin cells will respond to these fragments, like they would to your DNA.
When you hear "injectable," you might think of Botox and dermal fillers.
However, polynucleotide is different from these. Rather than acting on muscle like Botox or filling space like Fillers, they work on your skin cell function. More specifically polynucleotide treatment improves the function of your cells, but we'll come back to this!
How does Polynucleotide Treatment Work?
Your skin maintains its youthful appearance by producing collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. More specifically, you have cells called fibroblasts that produce these.
But, your cells age just as you do and their function declines. As you get older your fibroblasts don't produce collagen and elastin as well as they used to. This causes a drop in collagen and elastin levels, making our skin age.
You may already be thinking about how to increase collagen and elastin production again. That's where polynucleotides come in to bring about great results.
Earlier you learned that polynucleotide contains DNA fragments from salmon and trout. These fragments closely resemble our DNA, and that's important.
This means that polynucleotide treatment can "switch on" your fibroblasts. They'll then grow in number and create more collagen and elastin. This starts reversing the aging process.
Using your own cells for an anti-aging result, rather than something foreign in your body. Isn't that magic?
What does Polynucleotide Treat?
The idea behind this treatment is to improve your skin's efficiency. Polynucleotide can give you results such as:
Improving fine lines and wrinkles. Stimulating collagen production in your skin is crucial for anti-aging. Your skin tightens, lifts, and plumps with increased collagen.
Improving your skin's hydration. Dry skin types and dehydrated skin can make signs of aging look worse. So good hydration should be part of an effective anti-aging treatment plan. Polynucleotide is a great treatment option for hydration, next to other treatments like Profhilo.
Improving your skin's texture, and reducing chance of congestion by helping remove dead skin cells.
Reducing stretch marks and scars, such as acne scarring. Increasing collagen production and speeding up skin cell turnover makes polynucleotide effective as an acne scarring treatment.
Refresh your under-eyes to reduce dark circles and hollowing. Polynucleotide treatment is incredible for improving the appearance of the eye area.
Reduce pigmentation and sun damage in your skin. This often presents as patches of your skin having a darker skin tone. This is because of excess melanin near the upper layers of your skin. Polynucleotide injections inhibit melanin production, making them a great pigmentation treatment.
Increase hair growth to restore thicker and healthier hair. Polynucelotides work here by stimulating your hair follicles to enter the growth phase. This also reduces hair fall, if you're currently experiencing hair loss.
How Many Sessions of Polynucleotide Do You Need?
No one size fits all, as with everything in aesthetics. But a good rule of thumb with most treatments is that you'll need multiple sessions, polynucleotide included.
In most cases we recommend 3 sessions, each 2-4 weeks apart. Then, you'll get best results with maintenance sessions roughly every 6-9 months.
When Will You See Results with Polynucleotide?
Instant results should almost always set off alarm bells in your mind. Instant or quick results are too good to be true, more often than not.
Polynucleotide is no exception. Usually you'll get good results within a few weeks after treatment, and this builds over the next few months. This is because it takes time for your cells to kick into action and produce enough collagen and elastin to give a result.
Usually quick results are just as quick to fade away. With just a few weeks of patience you can have a much longer term result with something like polynucleotide. When combined with a skincare product routine, you can transform your skin long-term.
Is Polynucleotide Worth the Hype?
The quick answer is yes. The honest answer is... also yes.
The before and after photos truly do speak for themselves, and it has the Dr Hala seal of approval too. What's more is polynucleotide treatment has already shown success in wound healing treatment, not just as a skin booster.
Treatments that work by improving your own body's function are gold. They are the number one way to getting effective and natural looking results. An in our opinion, natural is always best. What do you think?
