What are Polynucleotides?

Polynucleotide treatment in al khobar

Polynucleotides are a relatively new treatment in the world of aesthetics, however they have been used in traditional medicine for many years. They are a tried and tested medicinal treatment that have many uses including speeding up healing and improving the look of scars.

Polynucleotides are known as a regenerative medicine or as biostimulators, because they work by stimulating the body’s natural biology and processes. When polynucleotides are injected into the skin they stimulate the fibroblast cells. The fibroblast cells are responsible for making collagen and elastin, and collagen and elastin are what makes the skin look and feel smooth and healthy.

Polynucleotides in aesthetics

Polynucleotides are used in aesthetic treatments to improve the look, feel and quality of the skin. They have many uses including treating:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Hyperpigmentation
  • Sun damage
  • Scarring, including acne scarring
  • Skin texture and tone

The difference between polynucleotides and dermal fillers

Unlike dermal fillers, polynucleotides don’t add any volume when injected into the skin. They are therefore a good treatment for patients who just want to improve the look of their skin without adding more fullness to the face. 

Polynucleotides can however be used in conjunction with dermal fillers for patients who would like to add volume and structure while also improving the tone and texture of their skin.

This regenerative treatment is also different to dermal fillers because polynucleotides don’t offer instantaneous results. When the treatment is injected it takes time for each patient’s biological process to create more collagen and elastin, which means it also takes time before patients will see the results of treatment.

How many treatments will I need?

We would recommend that patients have a course of treatments so that they can get the full benefits of the polynucleotides. Most patients will benefit from three sessions, every three to four weeks; after the initial course periodic top up treatments will help with the longevity of the results. 

Where can I have polynucleotide treatment?

This treatment is very versatile and can be used on many places on the body, including the face, neck, decolletage and the hands. It is also a good treatment to have around the eyes, to treat crepey skin, lines and wrinkles, skin quality and dark circles. Polynucleotides can also be used on the scalp to help stimulate hair growth.
