What are polynucleotides?
Have you heard of polynucleotides? It's taken the beauty industry by storm and here we dive deeper into what polynucleotides are, how the treatment can improve the appearance of your skin and what's in polynucleotides.
New anti-ageing product from Korea
Polynucleotides are long chains of nucleotides, the building blocks of DNA and RNA. Cosmetic treatments use polynucleotides derived from salmon DNA, which have been shown to be surprisingly compatible with human skin. Our skin 'recognises' it and therefore polynucleotides are a safe and effective ingredient in skincare treatments.
Like so many other modern skin treatments and wonder cures, it comes from South Korea - the country that gave us glass skin, snail slime and made sure we had proper skincare routines. It's been around and growing in popularity since 2013.
Why polynucleotides are so good
Polynucleotides have a number of benefits for the skin:
- They stimulate the skin's natural repair processes, which can reduce the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles.
- Polynucleotides can stimulate the production of collagen, thereby affecting skin firmness and elasticity.
- The treatment can improve skin texture, tone and radiance.
- Polynucleotides can help even out skin tone and reduce dark spots.
- Unlike many other treatments, polynucleotides provide more lasting results by working at the cellular level.
What is in polynucleotides?
The treatment uses polynucleotides extracted from salmon DNA. These polynucleotides have a structure similar to that of humans, making them very compatible with our skin.
During treatment, a solution containing these polynucleotides is injected directly into the outer layer of the skin. There they act as building blocks for the skin's own cells, stimulating cell renewal and activating the production of key proteins such as collagen and elastin.
The polynucleotides act as a kind of 'food' for the skin cells, providing them with energy and nutrition to perform their functions more efficiently. This results in improved skin quality, increased elasticity and a more youthful radiance.
The treatment is particularly effective because polynucleotides work at the cellular level, providing long-lasting results compared to many superficial treatments. Polynucleotides restore skin health and vitality from the inside out.
How does polynucleotide treatment work?
In a polynucleotide treatment, the solution is injected directly into the outermost layer of the skin. There, it stimulates skin cell renewal and promotes collagen and elastin production. The result is more youthful, firm and radiant skin.
The treatment is particularly effective for areas such as:
- Under the eyes
- Face and neck
- Hands
- For optimal results, a series of treatments is often recommended, usually 2-3 sessions spaced a few weeks apart.
Are polynucleotides right for you?
If you are looking for a natural and long-lasting solution to improve the quality and appearance of your skin, polynucleotides may be a good choice.
But the method is particularly suitable for those who:
- Wishing for a more youthful and radiant skin
- Want to treat fine lines and wrinkles
- Have problems with hyperpigmentation or uneven skin tone
