Polynucleotides

Polynucleotides are the new, regenerative medical treatment that is taking aesthetics by storm! Polynucleotides enhance the skin from a cellular level, promoting cell turnover, enhancing skin brightness, healing damaged tissue whilst increasing hydration and overall skin quality. Polynucleotides help to improve signs of photo-aging, UV damage, fine lines, thin/dehydrated skin, stretch marks and acne scarring.

Polynucleotides are long chains of nucleotides that make up DNA/RNA. The treatment uses bio-stimulation and anti-oxidant processes as an anti-aging procedure. Fibroblasts in the skin, are mainly responsible for the creation of collagen and elastin in the body.  

BIO-STIMULATION - The polynucleotide particles not only stimulate the current fibroblasts within the skin to “wake up”, but they provide nourishment to the fibroblasts themselves, ensuring the highest quality properties to allow them to produce exceptional quality collagen and elastin molecules. Additionally, the polynucleotides increase the amount of fibroblasts in the skin – what more could you ask for in a treatment?!  

More fibroblasts creating exceptional quality collagen and elastin!

 

ANTI-OXIDANT – Polynucleotides are occasionally referred toas “scavengers”.  In terms of skin improvement, polynucleotides specifically target free radicals (environmental chemicals causing skin damage) to reduce the potential for further skin damage. In addition, they increase healing rate and have anti-inflammatory properties. These features help to reduce redness/swelling caused by irritation e.g. Rosacea/acne

 

Subsequently, the treatment enhances the appearance and quality of skin by improving texture, tone and elasticity. A series of treatments will leave patients with a more nourished, healthy, and revitalised complexion.

In terms of safety, the treatment is deemed very safe.  It is a synthetic molecule, using fragments of DNA originating from fish, which closely resembles the DNA within the human body. There is very limited evidence of complications in association with the product itself. Given the fish derivative, this treatment is not suitable for those with a fish allergy or those who follow a vegan/vegetarian lifestyle.  However, as with every injectable treatment, there are always risks of bleeding, bruising, swelling and potential for infection. Each of these risks occur in all injectable treatments and are localised to the area where the procedure is performed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q.

How does Botox treatment work?

A.

When injected into a muscle, Botulinum Toxin (Botox®) blocks nerve signals to temporarily relax the muscle. Dynamic wrinkles are prevented from forming because the nerve impulses are stopped and the muscle is temporarily unable to contract. This makes the skin appear more youthful, softer, and smoother.

Q.

Are the injections painful?

A.

Given that a very fine needle is used, Botox injections are generally painless. As a result, patients do not need any anaesthetic. The entire procedure lasts for roughly 15-20 minutes, and you can drive and go to work the same day.

Q.

Are there any adverse effects?

A.

Botox treatments have very few adverse effects. Occasionally, people report a little localised discomfort and tenderness following injections. There may be some slight swelling at the injection site, but this normally goes away within 48 hours. Additionally, some minor bruising is possible. Sometimes, the procedure can cause surrounding muscle groups to relax, temporarily causing the eyebrow or eyelids to droop. This might last for a few weeks, but it will subside gradually. Although it can happen, allergic reactions are extremely uncommon with medicines. As the muscles in the forehead relax, some people may experience tension-type headaches.

Q.

Is Botox safe for use?

A.

The use of botulinum toxin as a muscle relaxant has a long history in medicine and is incredibly safe. Over the past 20 years, it has been used successfully in both adults and children for a range of medical issues. Since it has been used to treat facial wrinkles aesthetically for about 15years, it has grown to be one of the most well-liked and often administered cosmetic procedures.

Q.

How long does it last?

A.

After the initial treatment, it can take 2 to 14 days before the full results are visible. The cosmetic results normally last between three and four months but can sometimes continue for up to six months.  A 2 week review will be carried out to evaluate effectiveness of initial treatment.  If required, a small top up dose may be offered. The effects will begin to gradually begin to wear off around 8 weeks post initial treatment. Most people decide to get further treatment when movement returns.  It is not advisable to have another treatment within 12 weeks, as this can result in resistance.  However, regular treatments will help the longevity of the effects.

Q.

What After Care Advice Should I Follow?

A.

Avoid rubbing or touching the injected areas and avoid having facials and massage for 48 hours to reduce the potential for infection at the site of injection. Vigorous exercise and alcohol-based products, should be avoided for 48hours post treatment, as these can increase possibility of bruising. If bruising develops, Arnica cream can be used. Paracetamol can be taken for mild pain post procedure if required, avoid any anti-inflammatory medications as these can increase the risk of bruising.
