As the demand for advanced skin treatments grows, we’re also seeing a rise in clients looking for polynucleotide treatments and wondering how they work. We started offering polynucleotides at The Clinic Cheshire because we love to offer effective, innovative treatments to our clients to help them get the results they want.
In this blog, we’ll be exploring where polynucleotides come from, how they work, and the benefits of a polynucleotide treatment scientifically.
Polynucleotides are naturally occurring biopolymers which are found in your body and are made up of long chains of nucleotides. These are the building blocks of your DNA and RNA (a type of nucleic acid), which are essential for storing your genetic information and controlling your cellular functions.
In the aesthetics industry, polynucleotides are typically extracted from fish, most commonly salmon. The DNA from salmon is considered by scientists to be biocompatible with human tissue, meaning that our bodies can tolerate and use these polynucleotides as if they were our own.
Before they are used in treatments, the extracted polynucleotides are highly purified, removing any proteins or other molecules that could cause a reaction in humans. This makes them safe for cosmetic use.
Polynucleotides play a critical role in supporting your body’s natural repair processes. They work at a cellular level, replicating and repairing your cells. These functions are vital for wound healing and supporting healthy tissue throughout your body.
Fibroblasts are cells found in your skin’s connective tissue. They produce collagen and elastin, two proteins responsible for maintaining your skin’s structure, elasticity, and firmness.
Polynucleotides help to stimulate fibroblasts, encouraging the production of collagen. The additional collagen and elastin produced can improve your skin texture, reduce wrinkles, and enhance the elasticity of your skin. This is why polynucleotides can be an effective anti-ageing treatment.
Adding polynucleotides to your skin can help stimulate your body’s repair systems. This can accelerate the process of wound healing and skin regeneration, encouraging healthy skin cells to replace older or damaged ones more efficiently.
This is particularly beneficial for anyone who struggles with skin conditions such as acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles or other signs of ageing.
One of the added benefits of polynucleotides is that they’re able to attract and bind water molecules. This helps to increase your skin’s moisture levels, resulting in smoother, plumper skin which looks more youthful.
The ability of polynucleotides to stimulate collagen production, accelerate your cell’s repair process and provide long term improvements to your skin’s elasticity and hydration makes it an effective treatment for those wanting to turn the tide on ageing skin.
The way that polynucleotides work means that you are treating your skin from within, which is likely to give longer-lasting, natural results to improve your skin.
They can be used to treat a range of skin concerns and conditions and are suitable for those with sensitive skin, making them an excellent choice for many of our clients.
