Polynucleotides
Polynucleotides are the newest edition in injectable aesthetic treatments and are quickly becoming the most popular. A minimally invasive way to achieve skin optimisation which is affordable, has no recovery time and yields lasting results, polynucleotides offer significant skin and tissue rejuvenation. For many people looking to restore their youthful appearance, polynucleotides are the perfect stand alone treatment, or can be used alongside other cosmetic procedures to achieve a more impressive result.

Polynucleotides stimulate and repair
-
Hydration and moisture retention: Polynucleotides have a strong affinity for water, allowing them to retain moisture within tissues. This is particularly beneficial for skin treatments, as hydrated skin appears more youthful, supple, and elastic.
-
Anti-inflammatory effects: Polynucleotides help reduce inflammation by inhibiting the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and promoting the release of anti-inflammatory mediators. This makes them useful in managing conditions associated with chronic inflammation, such as arthritis or inflammatory skin disorders.
-
Tissue regeneration: Polynucleotides stimulate the activity of fibroblasts, the cells responsible for producing collagen and other components of the extracellular matrix. This leads to enhanced tissue repair and regeneration, making polynucleotide injections effective for wound healing, scar reduction, and skin rejuvenation.
-
Angiogenesis: Polynucleotides promote the formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis), which improves blood supply to the treated area. This is crucial for delivering oxygen and nutrients necessary for tissue repair and regeneration.
Other benefits of Polynucleotides
Skin rejuvenation: One of the most popular uses of polynucleotide injections is in the field of aesthetics. They enhance skin hydration, elasticity, and overall appearance. Polynucleotides help to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of aging by stimulating collagen production and improving skin texture.
Wound healing and scar reduction: Polynucleotide injections are also used to accelerate wound healing and minimise scar formation. By promoting fibroblast activity and collagen production, these treatments can enhance the healing process in both acute and chronic wounds. This application is particularly valuable in patients with slow-healing wounds, such as those with diabetes or compromised immune systems.
