Treatment
Polynucleotides
Polynucleotide treatment is a skin-rejuvenating therapy that involves injecting polynucleotides (natural DNA fragments) into the skin to promote healing, hydration and regeneration. It is often used in aesthetic medicine for anti-ageing, scar treatment and improving skin quality.
01
How it works
- Polynucleotides attract water and stimulate fibroblasts (cells that produce collagen and elastin)
- This enhances skin elasticity, firmness and texture
- They also reduce inflammation and promote tissue repair
02
Common areas treated
- Face (especially the under-eye area)
- Neck
- Décolletage
- Hands
- Scalp (for hair restoration)
