New skin treatments are constantly emerging, with the next claiming to be better than the last.
However, the buzz around polynucleotides seems to be here to stay, with these injectables helping women to achieve the fresh, radiant and healthy glowing skin they have always wanted.
What are polynucleotides?
Polynucleotides are made from DNA extracts from oily fish, which is why they are often referred to as ‘salmon sperm treatments’.
While the idea of having DNA fragments from fish sperm injected into your face may seem a little strange, the results speak for themselves, with customers showing off enviable glass skin after just a few polynucleotide treatments in London.
They work by encouraging the skin to regenerate cells, boost collagen and elastin production, and create new blood micro-vessels.
These all work together to give the appearance of more luminous, youthful skin, free from fine lines and blemishes.
What do they target?
Unlike fillers that add volume to the face or anti-wrinkle injections that relax the muscles and cause skin to appear smoother, polynucleotides really target the skin’s issues for long-lasting impact.
Increase collagen and elastin
As you age, collagen and elastin levels take a nosedive, which is why any product that helps to revive them will make you look younger.
By boosting the production of collagen and elastin, skin will appear smoother, less saggy or crepey and more supple. Fine lines will fade, skin will be firmer and much more hydrated.
Heal skin cells
The injectables send a signal to the cells in the skin that make structural proteins to heal themselves. This helps repair any damage and regenerate dead cells, helping the face appear much younger.
Create new blood vessels
By creating new micro-vessels, this increases oxygen flow in the face, enabling it to receive all the nutrients and hydration it needs and making it look much fresher and more radiant.
This also encourages repair and rejuvenation, as the skin is being thoroughly nourished and receives all the oxygen, moisture and vitamins it needs to stay healthy.
Hydrate the skin
Women have been regularly moisturising their skin since their teens to keep it hydrated and supple.
However, the reality is it only takes a warm day, cold winter, central heating, hot shower or too much exfoliation to dry out our faces, and this does not even include having an underlying skin condition or the natural decline in oil as we age.
That’s why it is essential to top up hydration wherever possible, and polynucleotides are great for this.
For a start, they boost the skin’s ability to bind with water, holding on to moisture.
Then they also encourage skin cells to produce hyaluronic acid, which anyone who is familiar with skincare will know is essential for plump skin as it holds on to moisture.
Having hydrated skin naturally fills out wrinkles, reducing fine lines and giving the appearance of a smoother visage. This is why hydration is key to young looking skin, and gives it that radiant glow at the same time.
