It is important to consider the longer-term effects and what you, as the patient, are looking for when it comes to skin rejuvenation. For those seeking deeper, longer-term improvements in volume and collagen production, biostimulating fillers may offer a more comprehensive solution. Let’s dive into the various options.
What are Polynucleotides (Other than being the hottest words in aesthetics)?
Polynucleotides are small chemical sequences contained in a gel which come from purified DNA fragments, often sourced from wild salmon, to repair, protect, hydrate, and revitalise the skin. The polynucleotide gel works harmoniously with your body to stimulate skin cell regeneration which boost collagen production and even act as an antioxidant. This leads to improved overall skin elasticity and texture.
So how do they work? I hear you ask. The magic lies in their ability to enhance the skin’s natural repair process. Once injected with a tiny needle, polynucleotides promote cell turnover and collagen synthesis, two essential components of youthful skin. This leads to improved hydration, firmer skin, and a more even
complexion
. Unlike traditional
fillers
, which physically add volume to the skin, polynucleotides are free to migrate and hydrate the skin from within. The results are subtle yet noticeable, making them an excellent option for those looking for a refreshed, natural appearance.
The “Salmon Sperm Facial” Myth
Honestly, this is just a headline created to generate buzz around the treatment category. The quirky nickname stems from the use of salmon-derived DNA in polynucleotide treatments. Wild Salmon DNA is prized for its biocompatibility and regenerative properties. While it might sound unusual, it’s a safe and scientifically proven approach that has been gaining popularity in aesthetic clinics worldwide. No salmon was harmed in the making of these products either; they are a byproduct of the food industry.
Are Polynucleotides the answer for great skin, long-term?
Polynucleotides are an incredible option for improving skin texture, tone, and hydration with limited downtime and immediate effects. They might not be the best choice if you’re looking for more long-lasting skin improvement and collagen stimulation.
If you are really looking to wind back the clock, replace lost volume and generate great skin quality you should consider bio-stimulating or collagen stimulation treatments. Three options we love at Skin Medical are
Ellansé,
Lanluma and Juliane all three have their own unique benefits. Ellanse gives you an immediate lift and volumisation, whilst also generating type-1 collagen (the best kind) over a period of 3-6 months. The overall results can last more then 18 months and this come with a great improvement in skin quality. Lanluma can be used for the face and body, and provides a natural collagen stimulation over 3 months using PLLA, which you may of heard of before (
Sculptra
). Julaine stimulates collagen production, delivering gradual, natural-looking results over time. Julaine effectively targets areas like the face, neck, arms, and décolleté to promote long-term improvements in skin appearance and elasticity.
