Polynucleotides
Renowned on social media as the “salmon sperm facial,” polynucleotides are DNA fragments, typically derived from salmon or trout used to regulate gene expression. Polynucleotides are an advanced skin rejuvenation treatment that help improve skin elasticity, hydration, and repair at a cellular level. They stimulate skin cells to heal and regenerate, slowing down the visible signs of aging.
Polynucleotide injections are particularly effective for addressing skin laxity, fine lines and wrinkles. They are favourable for treating the under eye region, supporting shadowing and hollowing under the eyes. They can also be used as an adjunct treatment to treat acne scars and rosacea.
This injectable treatment is ideal for individuals seeking a natural, long-term approach to skin revitalisation.
