polynucleotides edinburgh

Polynucleotides are the latest innovation in aesthetics, however they have been used in the NHS for over 20 years to aid in healing wounds, damaged skin and scar tissue. Polynucleotides are an injectable bio-stimulator, which stimulates growth factors, cell turnover, and aids collagen and elastin production. Derived from 100% filtered fragments of salmon DNA, that stimulate fibroblasts in the skin to aid in the synthesis of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid for a rejuvenated appearance.

FAQs

Got a question? We’re here to help.

  • What is the difference between Polynucleotides and Skin Boosters?

    While both Skin Boosters and Polynucleotides are injectable treatments used in aesthetic medicine, they work in slightly different ways and are designed to address different concerns. Skin Boosters primarily focus on skin hydration and firmness, while Polynucleotides stimulate collagen production and improves overall skin health. The products are not the same but can be combined.

  • What is the difference between Polynucleotides and Dermal Fillers?

    Despite there being different types of dermal filler, the most well-known and perhaps the most popular types are hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers.The biggest difference between the two injectables is that hyaluronic acid dermal fillers work by restoring and adding volume to the skin. With dermal fillers, the results are almost instantaneous with visible contouring and augmentation – often lasting up to 18 months depending on the type of dermal filler used.On the other hand, polynucleotides work to stimulate fibroblasts at a cellular level to improve skin health. Contrarily to hyaluronic acid dermal fillers, whilst polynucleotides can add slight volume to the injected area, their main goal is rejuvenation.

  • How often should I repeat the treatment?

    Initial treatment consists of 3 sessions spaced 2-4 weeks apart. For optimum results, repeat the treatment every 6-9 months.

  • What are the benefits?

    Polynucleotides stimulate collagen and elastin production which improves skin texture, firmness, skin hydration, minimises the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, promotes collagen and elastin production.

  • Is it painful?

    We apply a topical anaesthetic to the skin prior to the procedure. This makes it a relatively pain-free treatment.

  • Are there any contra-indications?

    Yes, the absolute contra-indications are pregnancy, breast feeding, fish allergy. Relative contra-indications are the use of blood thinning medications (please discuss this with your doctor during your consultation).

  • What are polynucleotides made from?

    Polynucleotides are biopolymers – stretchy molecules made from fragments of fish DNA extracted from salmon or trout which closely resemble human DNA.
