by Polynucleotide treatment is an innovative form of skincare which uses a series of natural ingredients to kickstart the body’s production of collagen, elastin, and new cells. Targeted in its use, typically used on the face, neck and chest, polynucleotide treatment is one of the most natural and effective ways of supporting the body in creating its own new tissue.
The results vary from one client to the next, though all report smoother and brighter skin, tackling signs of ageing as well as long-standing issues like acne scars and imperfections.
But if the consultation prior to treatment tells us anything, it’s that everything comes with its side effects and things to consider. In this blog, we outline what clients should expect from polynucleotide treatment, any side effects to be aware of, and how to know if this really is the right treatment for them.
What to Expect from Polynucleotide Treatment
Polynucleotide treatment involves the use of purified and cleansed DNA fragments extracted from fish sperm, giving it an industry prestige which is as weird as it is wonderful. Because polynucleotide relies on this wholly natural ingredient, the compatibility between the client and the treatment is almost always high, igniting collagen production, increasing elastin levels, and giving the skin the youthful glow it deserves.
In terms of results, polynucleotide treatment varies from one client to another. This is why a consultation is used at the start of treatment to identify both the client’s goals and the target injection sites that will have the greatest impact on skin health.
Side Effects and Things to Consider
Because polynucleotide treatment enhances the skin’s own regenerative capabilities, rather than injecting it with Botox and other fillers to create a plumper and smoother complexion, the risk of side effects is minimal.
The skin and body are not exposed to anything that isn’t naturally compatible with it during polynucleotide treatment, and so any redness and swelling after each session is simply a short-term reaction to the injection.
It’s also worth noting, as we discuss the natural regeneration achieved through polynucleotide injection, that this aesthetic treatment leads to natural results. Because the injected substance is designed to kick the body’s own production of collagen and elastin into gear, clients enjoy natural enhancements rather than facial adjustments.
What this means is that the results are almost always a subtle improvement in skin quality, texture, and appearance, without completely altering your look.
Is Polynucleotide Treatment Right for Me?
Polynucleotide treatment is one of the more revolutionary skincare options out there, with clients favouring it for its use of natural ingredients, its subtle but effective results, and the minimal side effects. Injections are small and shallow, with any redness and swelling disappearing soon after each session, though if you have any specific concerns about side effects, we recommend bringing them up at your consultation.
