Polynucleotides are a bio-revitalising skin injectable designed to help stimulate fibroblast and collagen production in the skin. They can be used to treat the under-eye area to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and under-eye bags, as well as treating the face, neck, chest and hands to restore tightness to the skin.
WHAT ARE POLYNUCLEOTIDES?
Polynucleotides are a bio-revitalising skin injectable derived from salmon DNA. They are used to promote tissue regeneration by stimulating fibroblasts - the cells which produce collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. They also have anti-inflammatory properties and repair the skins natural barrier.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The treatment area is cleaned and sterilised. Using a fine needle, the polynucleotide solution is then injected superficially into targeted areas of the skin.
WHERE CAN IT BE USED?
Treatment areas include the face, under-eye, neck, chest and hands.
They can also be used on stretch marks and scars to help improve their appearance.
WHEN CAN I SEE RESULTS?
A difference in skin quality will appear between 2 to 3 weeks post treatment and full effects will be seen after 3 months.
For best results lasting up to 18 months, we recommend 2-3 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart.
Polynucleotides can help to stimulate fibroblast production, which aids in collagen production, restoring tightness to the skin and reducing the appearance of wrinkles. Below are their full extent of effects:
Help stimulate deep tissue repair
Improve the appearance of acne scarring
Help treat skin conditions such as rosacea, melasma, and hyperpigmentation
Improve the appearance of atrophic scarring
Improve the appearance of deep lines and sunken wrinkles
Help stimulate skin rehydration and rejuvenation
Help stimulate the production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid
Improve and prevent the appearance of facial ageing such as sagging and the formation of fine lines
Improve the appearance of lumpy scars
At BTX Advanced Aesthetics we exclusively use VITARAN for our polynucleotide treatments.
VITARAN is a CE marked product and is derived from 100% purified fragments of salmon DNA. Salmon DNA has excellent compatibility with human DNA and encourages processes like collagen production and cell repair.
VITARAN is the world's first 100% quality-controlled polynucleotide using patented PDRN Purification Technology.
Polynucleotides and skin boosters are often compared due to their similar effects on skin rejuvenation. Both treatments are capable of rehydrating the skin and restoring a youthful, natural complexion. However, they work in different ways.
The differences between polynucleotides such as VITARAN and skin boosters such as Seventy Hyal and Profhilo lie within their method of working and time frames.
Skin boosters work by injecting hyaluronic acid directly into the skin to intensely and instantly improve skin hydration, whereas a polynucleotide treatment is a longer-term investment into the restoration of your skin.
Polynucleotides can be used on anyone who is looking to improve the tone and texture of their skin. However, you may not be suitable for this treatment if you fall within any of the below criteria:
Those under the age of 18
Those who are pregnant or breastfeeding
Those with a fish allergy
Those who are vegan
