POLYNUCLEOTIDE SKIN BOOSTERS
What are polynucleotides?
Polynucleotides are biostimulators containing long chains of highly purified DNA fragments sourced from salmon. In aesthetics, the use of polynucleotides is rooted in its ability to support the natural skin regeneration process. Numerous studies and clinical trials have been conducted that support the efficacy of polynucleotide skin boosters in skin rejuvenation, improvement of skin texture, firmness and overall appearance.
How do polynucleotides work?
Polynucleotides are injected into the skin to create an ideal environment for the production and growth of new collagen. Polynucleotides work by stimulating fibroblasts. This results in production of collagen, improving skin hydration, making skin look more youthful and glowing. Polynucleotides work as antioxidants by removing free radicals that would normally damage the skin. Besides this, polynucleotides also stimulate cellular repair and regeneration, improving scars, stretch marks, reducing sun-damage and hyperpigmentation, resulting in more even skin tone.
How are polynucleotides different from fillers?
Fillers contain hyaluronic acid and add volume. Whereas, polynucleotides contain long chains of DNA, improves skin by stimulating the production of collagen to reduce skin laxity rather than by adding volume.
