So, is this the new buzz or new kid on the block when it comes to facial aesthetics?There are a certain number of treatments that have had a lot of press attached to them and the most recent one that springs to mind is Profhilo- a game changer in the aesthetics arena. Profhilo provides a radiant glow and improves the quality of the skin through remodelling. It has been so popular because it can be used to improve a lot of areas of the body, including the face, neck, décolleté, knees, and even elbows. Profhilo reduces crepiness in the skin, improves hydration and in some cases even tightens the skin tightening. Profhilo is principally hyaluronic acid. However, Polynucleotides are a new and definite game changer for 2023!Polynucleotides?Polynucleotides are a skin booster that improve the quality, texture, and appearance of your skin over time. This is achieved by encouraging regenerative and anti-ageing effects. They can be combined with other injectables to achieve optimum youth enhancing outcomes. Polynucleotides have an ability to improve the skin over time by encouraging the skin to behave better.So, what are Polynucleotides?Polynucleotides are biostimulators. They achieve what HA-based skin boosters accomplish, but polynucleotides go beyond mere hydration. Rather than just providing hydration, polynucleotides are more like food or medicine for the cells, to make them produce collagen and elastin in a more meaningful way, to improve the extracellular matrix, and additionally they have anti-inflammatory properties.So how are polynucleotides used?As they boast collagen boosting properties, they enhance hydration and improve elasticity. They can be described as exceptionally powerful injectable moisturising treatments. They can be used as a preventative measure for more youthful skins and more restorative for more mature aging skins. They are very effective at reducing inflammation and can provide long lasting relief from redness associated with rosacea.They are brilliant at reducing dark circles under the eyes and strengthening the delicate skin around the mouth area. They are great for patients who are not suitable for tear trough (under eye) filler or those prone to puffiness in this area especially when it comes to treating with hyaluronic acid-based fillers. They can also be used in conjunction with HA fillers in those patients that are suitable and can be used with fillers for the entire face.Polynucleotides are suitable for men and women aiming to rejuvenate the skin without adding volume, reducing lines, firming the skin, boosting hydration, and reducing puffiness.The injections are very superficial and therefore quick and painless.So, how long to wait for results?This is where there is a difference. The results/effects are not immediate. Although they are injected like a dermal filler, the way they work is entirely different. They can cause a swelling for 3-5 days before being completely absorbed by the body. It can take approximately 60 days for the desired effects to become noticeable as the skin needs time to undergo cellular changes.As it does not provide an instant boost, one must remember that they will improve over time. They are 100% worth it though!How many treatments do I need?You generally need a second treatment in one month if this is your first Polynucleotide treatment. A top up treatment is then recommended every 6-9 months to sustain your results. The full benefits of Polynucleotides treatment tend to be seen after two treatments as collagen production is stimulated and the skin rejuvenates.To get your Polynucleotides treatment call our friendly team today on 01392 925 700 Back to our blog
