Polynucleotide Treatment in West London
Polynucleotides boost skin regeneration and repair by stimulating cell growth and collagen production. This enhances skin elasticity, reduces wrinkles, and rejuvenates your complexion, promoting a healthy, youthful glow.
Polynucleotides are injectable bio-stimulators derived from salmon or trout DNA, designed to revitalise skin. They stimulate collagen production and boost hydration, improving elasticity and reducing fine lines for a smoother, more youthful appearance.
How do polynucleotides work?
Polynucleotides are delivered under the skin with a fine needle, not to add volume directly but to act as powerful biostimulators. They target fibroblasts, the cells responsible for producing collagen and supporting wound healing.
Once activated, these fibroblasts stimulate natural skin regeneration from within, enhancing collagen and elastin production and strengthening the extracellular matrix, where fibroblasts are located. This process leads to improved hydration, reduced inflammation, and enhanced skin texture, tone, and firmness, which gradually minimises fine lines and wrinkles. Additionally, polynucleotides neutralise free radicals, helping to protect against skin ageing.
How long does a typical treatment session take?
The treatment generally takes around 45 minutes to 1 hour, which includes time for preparation and post-treatment care
What downtime is associated with polynucleotides?
Recovery is quick, with minimal side effects such as bruising or small bumps that usually resolve within a few hours, allowing immediate return to activities.
When will I see results and how long can I expect them to last?
Results from polynucleotide treatments are seen quite quickly, with noticeable improvements within a matter of weeks. These treatments can maintain skin appearance for up to 6-9 months, with maintenance sessions recommended every 6-9 months for continued enhancement.
