Polynucleotides
Polynucleotides
Polynucleotides aim to help repair tissue by stimulating fibroblasts, encouraging cell turnover, improving elasticity, boosting collagen production and hydrating the skin. Nucleotides, natural DNA fractions, have antioxidant action, protection, and reduction of cell damage caused by UV radiation or scars.
Polynucleotides are an evidence based regenerative medicine used since 1986.
Benefits include:
- Increase cell renewal
- Stimulation/ production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid.
- Anti-oxidant effect reducing hyperpigmentation.
- Reduce hollowing and fine lines
- A brighter complexion
- They can be used on the periocular area to treat dark circles and restore skin
- They can be used to target deep wrinkles and acne scars and can be used on other parts of the body
To treat acne scarring, hyperpigmentation, and rosacea. As well as being injected into the upper, mid and lower face, to treat the neck, décolletage, inner arms, thighs, and knees.
The polynucleotide chain, in addition to attracting water molecules, has an anti-free radical action, acting as a scavenger of OH hydroxyl radicals which tend to accumulate as a result of stress, cell damage, and external agents such as UV rays. The moisturising action and anti-free radical activity help to create an optimal environment for the growth of fibroblasts, helping to restore the elasticity of the tissues.
Polynucleotides are a great, if you are looking for a treatment that can help repair your skin damage and give you optimum performance.
