Polynucleotides
Polynucleoltides (PN) are an injectable skin treatment which is designed to help tissue repair. It improves skin quality, thickness, hydration, and promotes new collagen formation.
What are polynucleotides?
This polymerised, polynucleotide-based injectable gel works by stimulating fibroblasts, encouraging cell turnover, improving elasticity, boosting collagen production and hydrating the skin.
Polynucleotides have a host of potential applications, including treatment for acne scarring, hyperpigmentation, and rosacea as well as the signs of ageing. They are also very effective in treating hair restoration and growth.
Often we can combine polynucleotide treatments with platelet rich plasma (PRP)
In addition to treatments for the scalp, upper, mid and lower face, Polynucleotides can also be used to treat the neck, décolletage, inner arms, thighs, and knees. It is also particularly useful for difficult areas such as the neck and beneath the eyes.

Before & after
Research and clinical evidence
Research studies have shown the following effects:
115% increase in skin hydration
Over 50% increase in skin thickness
47% increase in collagen production
38% increase in skin elasticity
Reduction in inflammatory redness and improvement in rosacea and acne
Improvement in acne scarring
Reduction in pigmentation resulting from sun exposure
PNs can help stimulate hair follicles, increase blood flow to the scalp, and promote the growth of thicker, healthier hair. A study published in the Journal of Dermatology and Clinical Research highlighted the potential of polynucleotides in improving hair density and overall hair quality.
