POLYNUCLEOTIDES AGAINST HAIR LOSS
Polynucleotides are molecules known for their regenerative properties. Polynucleotides used in aesthetic medicine are modified and therefore of natural origin and are obtained through a technology that requires a high degree of purity and safety.
The polynucleotide molecules suitable for the scalp are clinically tested compounds which have been proven to support hair growth by stimulating the follicles. When injected into the scalp, polynucleotides activate the stem cells already present in the follicles, causing the dormant follicles to resume their growth phase and thus promote the growth of fuller hair.
What does the treatment look like?
In order to assess the condition of the hair and to have a realistic expectation of results, the initial consultation and analysis of the scalp are crucial. Polynucleotides can be applied as a treatment per se, or as a complement to other treatments administered to activate hair growth, such as laser hair growth stimulation. The treatment is performed on an outpatient basis and anaesthesia is not required. However, if the patient wishes, anaesthetic cream can be applied locally to areas selected for treatment, or a local block anaesthesia can be administered. In most cases, however, applying vibration to the injection sites is sufficient to alleviate pain. After preparing and disinfecting the scalp, the preparation is injected into the desired area with a thin needle.
The entire treatment takes about half an hour and the patient can return to her or his daily activities after the procedure.
The decision whether to repeat the treatment is individual, but four treatments at intervals of one to two weeks are recommended. Should further treatments beyond the above schedule be required, an additional course of four more treatments may be administered at intervals of four weeks between each.
