POLYNUCLEOTIDE TREATMENT OF THE FACE AND BODY

Polynucleotides are molecules known for their regenerative properties. Polynucleotides used in aesthetic medicine are of natural origin and are obtained

through purification processes resulting in a high degree of purity and safety of the final product. These molecules promote skin rejuvenation at the cellular level by stimulating the production of proteins and by maintaining the structure, elasticity and hydration of the skin.  

Polynucleotide preparations have a wide range of applications, are adapted to different age groups and are suitable for both female and male skin.

  Polynucleotide treatment is a natural alternative to traditional fillers and at the same time a solution to specific problems of aging skin such as lines, wrinkles and uneven skin tone. The preparation also revitalizes the skin. Polynucleotides have been proven to substantially improve the hydration, elasticity and firmness of skin, and to stimulate the production of natural collagen, which in turn plays a role in deep skin regeneration.

Some of the target areas for polynucleotide treatment are cheeks, forehead, the orbital area around the eyes, as well as any other areas affected by scars or pigment irregularities. This treatment can also be applied all over the body, with the aim of skin rejuvenation. The application has been shown to improve the texture, firmness and hydration of skin on various sites on the body.

Application of polynucleotides often goes hand to hand with other aesthetic procedures, for instance as a complement to the facelift. The synergistic effect can also be achieved in combination with other aesthetic procedures, such as Botox laser treatments and hyaluronic fillers.

What does the treatment look like?

The treatment process starts with an initial consultation and analysis of the skin. This is important to assess the state of overall, and specifically skin health and to set realistic expectations with regard to outcome. Ultimately, an informed decision must be made whether the treatment is appropriate or not. The next phase is the development of a personalized treatment plan, customized for each patient. The treatment is performed on an outpatient basis.

  To relieve any discomfort during the application of the preparation, an anaesthetic cream can be applied, followed by disinfection of the target area. The preparation is then applied into this area using a thin needle or cannula. Depending on the area, the treatment usually takes 20 to 40 minutes, after which the patient can return to her daily activities.

How long do the results last?

The results depend on the area treated and the type and amount of polynucleotide preparation used. Depending on the reaction elicited inside the skin of every individual patient, the treatment usually requires several weeks up to a month to show initial results.

What are the possible side effects?

After the procedure, mild redness, swelling, bruising or tenderness may temporarily occur at the injection site. The redness usually disappears within a few hours, while bruising – should it occur at all – usually subsides after a few days.
