⋅Polynucleotides⋅
promoting long-term skin rejuvenation
Polynucleotides are natural molecules derived from DNA that can be used as a biostimulator to regenerate and repair skin at a cellular level. They are often used in injectables to address signs of aging, sun damage, and scarring. By activating specific receptors on fibroblast cells, polynucleotides stimulate a healing response, leading to increased collagen and elastin production, and reduced inflammation.
- Composition: Polynucleotides are long chains of nucleotides, the building blocks of DNA and RNA.
- Origin: They are often derived from fish DNA, specifically salmon DNA, which is similar to human DNA.
- How they work: Polynucleotides stimulate the skin’s natural repair processes, promoting tissue regeneration and improving skin health by activating fibroblast cells and triggering collagen and elastin production.
- Benefits: They can help reduce inflammation, scarring, and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity, and brighten the skin.
- Uses: They are commonly used to treat areas of the face and body that have been damaged by sun exposure, aging, or scarring, including the under-eye area, neck, decolletage, and hands.
- Effectiveness: Unlike some other treatments that primarily provide immediate hydration or plumping, polynucleotides work at a cellular level to promote long-term skin rejuvenation by stimulating the body’s own repair mechanisms.
