Polynucleotides: skin boosters for face and body

Polynucleotides are advanced, regenerative treatments using biological molecules – long chains of nucleotides, which are building blocks of DNA. They stimulate deep skin renewal, enhancing collagen and elastin production for improved skin elasticity, firmness, and lift (biostimulation). These treatments work at a cellular level, promoting cell turnover, improving hydration, and offering anti-free radical actions to protect against damage from pollution and UV rays.

Expect a range of skin rejuvenation benefits like skin regeneration, wrinkle reduction, enhanced hydration, and anti-inflammatory effects. These treatments are versatile, treating various skin concerns like fine lines, wrinkles, loss of elasticity, and even conditions like acne and rosacea. They’re also effective in different body areas, including the face, neck, and décolletage, or for skin tightening on the body like arms, legs, and abdomen.

The treatment involves a series of superficial (intradermal) injections in the skin, tailored to your specific needs and goals. Typically, 3-4 sessions spaced over 21-28 days are recommended. The procedure is quick and minimally invasive, and we recommend the application of a topical anaesthetic for comfort. You can expect to see results as early as 20 days post-treatment, with effects lasting 6 to 12 months.

Please ensure that the topical anaesthetic application is booked appropriately, allowing you a minimum of 40 minutes before the procedure.

Yes, Dr Bela Clinic offers various Polynucleotide treatments tailored for different areas. These include high-concentration Polynucleotides such as Plenhyage Strong for the body and face, especially significantly damaged and thicker skin or scarring. Medium concentration Polynucleotides such as Plinest for facial and neck areas or for younger patients. Low concentration Polynucleotides such as Plinest Eye or Hair for the area around the eyes, eyebrows, scalp or beard. A special product in the range when Polynucleotides are mixed with Hyaluronic acid fillers (Newest) for bio-regeneration and lifting with one treatment.

Yes, they can be safely used alongside other treatments like laser resurfacing, radiofrequency, dermal fillers, Harmonyca filler, Profhilo and Botox injections. This combination can often lead to enhanced results and it is referred as skin priming.

Polynucleotides are suitable for individuals of all ages and skin types, especially those noticing loss of skin elasticity, signs of ageing, or needing deep hydration or biostimulation. It’s a natural and safe product, making it a suitable option for many people.

Polynucleotide treatments are generally considered safe with a high tolerance profile. The risks are minimal and typically include temporary redness or mild discomfort at the injection site. As these treatments use naturally derived substances, the risk of allergic reactions is significantly reduced. Unlike some traditional dermal filler treatments, Polynucleotide treatments do not carry risks of occlusion, permanent lumping, blindness, or other severe complications. However, like any injectable procedure, slight bruising, swelling, or tenderness at the injection sites might occur, usually subsiding within a few days.

Post-treatment, you may experience minor swelling or bruising, but these typically subside quickly. You can usually resume your daily activities immediately. To maintain results, a series of 3 to 4 treatments are recommended spaced over 21-28 days, followed by maintenance sessions every 6 to 12 months.

Until I develop the library of my own cases of Polynucleotide treatments, let me show you some pictures from other therapists provided by Dermafocus, the supplier of the products.

The initial consultation is the most important part of your journey in facial aesthetics if you are new to it. Almost all patients have a different degree of misunderstanding regarding dermal fillers and Botox injections. After the initial consultation with Dr Bela, you will understand the most important aspects of your treatment such as your treatment plan, product selection, safety, results, longevity and budget. With this information, you can make an informed decision about your look and treatments.
