Aesthetic terminologies can sometimes become blurred, leading to widespread myths among the public.
One such instance is the use of the term ‘rejuvenating’ in reference to polynucleotides. While this treatment has numerous benefits, to call it a rejuvenating facial treatment simply wouldn’t be a true statement to make. It’s time to set the record straight and look into the science behind this procedure, clearing up why ‘regenerative’ is the more accurate description.
Polynucleotides, often abbreviated as PNs, have become a remarkable innovation among facial treatments. They hold the power to transform your skin, but the real science lies in their regenerative capabilities. So let’s break down the difference between rejuvenation and regeneration in the context of polynucleotide treatments.
Understanding The Difference Between A Regenerative And A Rejuvenating Facial Treatment
Rejuvenation typically refers to the process of restoring something to its youthful state. In skincare, this might involve a rejuvenating facial treatment that aims to reduce the signs of ageing, such as fine lines, wrinkles and age spots, resulting in a more youthful appearance.
On the other hand, you have polynucleotides. They might be small, but their impact is mighty. PNs play a vital role in telling your skin cells to regenerate and heal, to become younger. The PNs we use are sourced from highly purified and sterilised DNA extracted from fish.
When introduced into our skin through expertly administered treatments, they initiate a process of regeneration. That’s why this is not a rejuvenating facial treatment, but a regenerative one.
The human body has the natural ability to heal itself in many ways. A cut to the skin repairs itself, broken bones mend and regenerate in a few weeks. PNs is a treatment that helps to heal tissues and restore function lost due to ageing, disease, damage or defects. It helps the body in repairing, regenerating and restoring itself to a state of well-being.
The Treatment Process
Before a polynucleotide treatment, your skin is cleansed to remove any impurities. A numbing cream is then applied to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. Multiple injections or the use of a cannula may be used to administer the treatment, with a series of three sessions recommended for optimal results.
The versatility of polynucleotide treatments extends beyond the face to include areas like the neck, décolletage, hands, arms and knees. Their regenerative power can address a range of skin concerns.
The Results
Polynucleotide treatments deliver results that align with their regenerative nature. Rather than providing instant, short-term effects like a rejuvenating facial treatment might, they work harmoniously with your body’s natural processes to bring about gradual yet significant improvements. You can expect:
Reduced Fine lines and wrinkles, hollowing and shadowing under the eye
Improved skin elasticity firming up sagging skin
Reduced pigmentation
Boosted hydration by encouraging the production of hyaluronic acid
Improved redness with its anti-inflammatory effect
Stimulated the creation of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid
We all age at our own pace, which influences how long these results will last. Typically, the effects of polynucleotide treatments last between six and nine months. As time passes, further treatments are required to sustain the regenerative benefits.
Polynucleotides can be easily added to your overall skincare and aesthetic regimen. They prepare your skin for other treatments and optimise their outcomes. Whether used alongside a rejuvenating facial treatment like dermal fillers, chemical peels, microneedling or anti wrinkle injections, PNs take the results to the next level.
