Polynucleotides are naturally occurring molecules composed of long chains of nucleotides, which are the building blocks of DNA and RNA. In aesthetic medicine, polynucleotides are used in injectable treatments to promote tissue repair, hydration, and skin rejuvenation. They work by stimulating the skin’s natural regenerative processes, improving elasticity and texture, and promoting the production of collagen, which is essential for maintaining youthful, firm skin.
Polynucleotides also have an anti-inflammatory effect, which makes them useful for treating damaged skin or skin that has been affected by environmental factors such as sun exposure. The treatment is designed to revitalise the skin at a cellular level, addressing the underlying causes of ageing and skin degradation rather than simply providing a superficial improvement.
How does this treatment work?
Polynucleotide injectable treatments work by delivering these bioactive molecules directly into the skin through a series of injections. Once administered, the polynucleotides penetrate the dermal layers, where they stimulate the production of new collagen fibres and elastin. These components are crucial for maintaining skin structure, firmness and elasticity.
Additionally, polynucleotides help to increase moisture retention in the skin by encouraging the production of hyaluronic acid, a natural substance that retains water and keeps the skin hydrated. This makes the treatment particularly effective for individuals with dry or ageing skin.
The treatment also enhances cell turnover, which helps to repair damaged tissues and promotes a more even skin tone. Because polynucleotides are biocompatible with the human body, the treatment carries a lower risk of adverse reactions, as the body recognises the molecules as natural.
