By injecting polynucleotides into the skin we can improve the function of the cells and increase the production of collagen and natural hyaluronic acid which results in overall skin rejuvenation and improvement. They are similar to skin boosters (e.g Profhilo) but rather than just providing hydration, they act like food or medicine to your cells, helping them to repair themselves and produce more collagen and elastin.
What is the difference between polynucleotides and dermal filler?
Dermal fillers have been a popular aesthetic treatment for many years and will always have their place within injectable skin treatments. As we age we produce less collagen, the skin becomes less elastic, thinner and we lose volume. Fillers work by adding volume to different areas of the face to achieve a more youthful, fuller appearance. Dermal fillers provide almost immediate results with visible contouring to the skin. Results can often last between 9-24 months depending on the treatment area.
Polynucleotides, on the other hand, stimulate the skin at a cellular level, aiming to regenerate the skin for overall skin rejuvenation. Unlike fillers which provide immediate results, any treatments which work at a cellular level to improve collagen production take longer to see results. It’s important not to be put off by this, improving cell function and collagen production will provide longer-term, more effective results for your overall skin quality.
Despite their differences, both treatments work well in conjunction with each other. Dermal fillers containing hyaluronic acid will give you instant volume, polynucleotides will support longer-term results by improving collagen production, skin quality and fine lines and wrinkles.
