A polynucleotide treatment is a medical or cosmetic therapy that involves the use of polynucleotides—long chains of nucleotides the building blocks of DNA and RNA to promote tissue regeneration, repair, and hydration. Polynucleotides are derived from natural sources, often from fish like salmon or trout, and are purified for medical use.
Mechanism of Action
Polynucleotides work by:
Stimulating fibroblasts to enhance collagen and elastin production, improving skin elasticity and reducing wrinkles.
Boosting hydration by attracting water molecules, leading to improved skin texture and radiance.
Enhancing cell repair and regeneration, making them effective for wound healing and anti-aging applications.
Modulating inflammation by reducing oxidative stress, beneficial for conditions like scars, acne, and sensitive skin.
Applications
Polynucleotide treatments are used in:
Aesthetic medicine (skin rejuvenation, reducing fine lines, improving texture and tone)
Dermatology – acne scars, rosacea, stretch marks, scar reduction.
Procedure
The treatment is typically administered via injectable mesotherapy, where polynucleotides are injected into the skin using fine needles. Results are gradual, with optimal effects seen after multiple sessions.
