The solution to your crepey skin?
Polynucleotides
What Are Polynucleotides?
Polynucleotides are transformative injectables that offer incredible regenerative and bio-stimulating properties to restore a youthful glow in your complexion and reduce and reverse visible signs of ageing. Polynucleotides differ from traditional hyaluronic acid (HA) skin boosters due to their composition of fish (typically salmon or trout) DNA obtained from sperm cells. Fox Pharma’s exclusive brand, VITARAN, uses 100% purified fragments of trout DNA and is a100% quality-controlled polynucleotide injectable treatment.
Dr Tego Kirnon-Jackman, a medical and aesthetic doctor, says, “Polynucleotides take advantage of the latest aesthetic technologies to harness the regenerative power found in fish DNA and unlock a youthful radiance for users.”
Polynucleotide brand we love here at Rebecca Green Aesthetics are: Nucleofill, Plinest, Plenhyage, and Vitaran.
Here’s a breakdown of how polynucleotides can help in combating signs of aging:
1. Tissue Regeneration and Repair
Polynucleotides are natural polymers composed of nucleotide chains, which are the building blocks of DNA and RNA. When applied to the skin, they can help promote tissue regeneration and repair by stimulating the proliferation and activity of fibroblasts. Fibroblasts are the cells responsible for producing collagen and elastin, key proteins that maintain skin's firmness and elasticity. This regeneration can lead to smoother, more youthful-looking skin.
2. Enhanced Hydration
Polynucleotides have a strong water-binding capacity, which can significantly improve skin hydration. As skin ages, it often becomes drier and less capable of retaining moisture, leading to the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. By enhancing the skin's moisture retention, polynucleotides can help plump the skin, making wrinkles and fine lines less visible.
3. Anti-Inflammatory Effects
Aging skin often exhibits signs of chronic low-level inflammation, which can exacerbate the breakdown of collagen and elastin. Polynucleotides have anti-inflammatory properties that can help calm the skin, reducing redness, swelling, and irritation. This can lead to a more even skin tone and reduce the appearance of age-related redness and blotchiness.
4. Stimulation of Collagen Production
Collagen is a crucial protein that gives skin its structure and elasticity. As we age, the production of collagen decreases, leading to sagging skin and wrinkles. Polynucleotides can stimulate the production of collagen by activating fibroblasts, thus helping to restore skin’s structural integrity and resilience, which results in firmer, more elastic skin.
5. Antioxidant Properties
Polynucleotides have been shown to exhibit antioxidant effects, which help to neutralize free radicals—unstable molecules that can damage skin cells and accelerate aging. By combating oxidative stress, polynucleotides help protect the skin from environmental damage, such as UV radiation and pollution, thereby slowing down the aging process.
6. Improvement in Skin Texture
By promoting cellular turnover and enhancing the extracellular matrix, polynucleotides can improve skin texture. This includes a reduction in roughness, better smoothness, and a more refined appearance. Over time, this can contribute to a healthier, more vibrant complexion.
7. Reduction in Fine Lines and Wrinkles
The combined effects of increased collagen production, enhanced hydration, and tissue repair lead to a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Regular use of polynucleotide-based treatments can result in smoother skin with diminished signs of aging.
8. Support for Skin Healing
Polynucleotides also support skin healing and recovery, making them useful not only for anti-aging purposes but also in post-procedural care, such as after laser treatments or chemical peels. This helps the skin recover more quickly and effectively, reducing downtime and enhancing results.
