What are polynucleotides?
Polynucleotides are natural, highly-purified DNA molecules usually extracted from trout fish gonads.
How do they work?
Cells have DNA, which is made of polynucleotides. When we inject more polynucleotides into aged and damaged skin cells, they help to regenerate tissue by stimulating fibroblasts – a type of cell that contributes to the formation of connective tissue. Essentially, we are healing skin from within.
How are polynucleotides administered?
Polynucleotides are injected into aged and damaged and skin via specific techniques, depending on the product used. You can find out more about the protocols on our training course.
Are there any side effects?
Side effects are minimal, depending on the injection technique used. As with any injection, patients can expect some slight redness and swelling following treatment. No serious adverse events have been reported.
Can I use polynucleotides alongside other aesthetic treatments?
Yes, absolutely. All of Dermafocus' polynucleotides can be offered as a stand-alone treatment or used in combination with any other procedure. There has been excellent results alongside dermal filler, botulinum toxin, PRP and radiofrequency treatments.
