Polynucleotides are among the most recent advancements in regenerative approaches to skin health treatments and beauty – but they’re far more than a new type of cream, therapy or way to minimise fine lines and wrinkles.
Regenerative medicine is all about leveraging data-backed, clinically efficient treatments that can make profound differences to a whole host of concerns, from inflammation to scarring and hyperpigmentation, as an effective, safe treatment that outperforms conventional skin boosters every step of the way.
Let’s dive into what polynucleotides are, their diverse uses and applications in skin, hair and cellular health, and what to expect if you choose to book a Polynucleotide Treatment with our experienced, welcoming teams here at Meyer Clinic.
Polynucleotides Explained: What They Are and How They Work
Let’s start with the basics. Polynucleotides have a technical name, and it’s important to clarify that they aren’t synthetic, manufactured, or potentially risky compounds. Instead, these biostimulators are extracted from fish cells and undergo an ultra-purification process, resulting in the highest-grade product available in aesthetic and regenerative medicine in over four decades.
Originally engineered to help in wound care and recovery, the applications of polynucleotides have rapidly expanded as practitioners and clinicians recognise their enormous potential.
Part of the magic is that polynucleotides are incredibly pure and of natural origin. This matters because a biostimulator created from authentic DNA is more effective and augments the cellular repair activities in our own bodies.
The field of regenerative and aesthetic medicine is all about tackling problems at the source rather than using products to conceal or hide concerns, aesthetic or otherwise.
When a polynucleotide is injected into your skin, this challenges the decline in fibroblast function, which is often a side effect of ageing or trauma. Those fibroblasts are the cells within your tissue that produce collagen, which is why younger skin tends to be more resilient, faster healing and more supple.
A Polynucleotide Treatment works by elevating natural collagen production as a cutting-edge product that doesn’t just help boost your appearance and result in healthier, happier skin but actually addresses impaired cellular functions, working to help you naturally regenerate tissue and cells that have become damaged.
What Are Polynucleotides Used to Treat?
As all Meyer Clinic clients will know, we offer a broad range of therapies and healthcare treatments and endeavour to offer support and services in a setting that celebrates the value of holistic, whole-person, and 360-degree well-being. Polynucleotides are an excellent fit for our ethos and mission as your healthcare and aesthetic provider.
There are numerous reasons you may find that polynucleotides are a beneficial treatment or form part of your personalised plan for optimal wellness. Here are just a few of the advantages and use cases.
Skin Rejuvenation
Polynucleotides can restore vitality and health to damaged skin, stimulating collagen levels, increasing skin elasticity, and tackling hyperpigmentation. They are a powerhouse of healing and microcirculation that can be used to treat more complex areas, such as impaired skin above the top lip and delicate skin under the eyes.
This enables us to recommend Polynucleotide Injections for various skin concerns, including general skin revitalisation, as an alternative to dermal fillers or tear trough fillers, to tackle deep lines and augment skin texture to help heal sun-damaged skin.
Inflammation and Rosacea
The anti-inflammatory action prompted by polynucleotides can be used to treat a range of chronic skin conditions that cause redness, bumps and more prominent blood vessels. Polynucleotides help you produce more cytokines that counteract inflammation and promote faster and more efficient tissue regeneration.
Hair Thinning and Loss
Androgenetic alopecia, better known as pattern baldness, is a genetic condition that can affect men and women of all ages. Cellular repair activated by polynucleotides has been found to promote better scalp and hair health, stimulate dormant hair follicles and damaged cells, and improve blood flows to the scalp, which are essential to follicular activity.
Scar Management
Polynucleotides have key uses in managing scarring and wounds due to the production of more of the fibroblasts we mentioned earlier, which are pivotal to tissue regeneration and collagen synthesis. They are used to manage acne scarring and contribute to a healthier epidermis.
Surgery Preparation
Polynucleotides can be used as a treatment before surgery or other medical interventions, giving your skin a boost of healing-promoting compounds, which can aid in the speed of recovery, reduce the potential for scarring, and ensure your skin is in optimal condition.
What to Expect From a Polynucleotides Treatment at Meyer Clinic
We perform Polynucleotides Treatment with our customary focus on comfort, relaxation, and education, ensuring you know what the therapy involves and do not experience unnecessary discomfort throughout.
The normal protocol is to administer a Polynucleotide Treatment through a fine, clinical-grade needle or cannula, depending on the area you’d like to treat or the location of hair loss, scarring, or skin concerns.
Clients usually receive three treatments spaced apart by three weeks, ensuring the results are balanced, gradual and minimally invasive, and giving your cells sufficient time to respond and heal between treatments.
We often recommend using polynucleotides alongside other supplementary treatments, such as combining your therapy with Dermalux LED Light Therapy as a dual technique to trigger the natural rejuvenation of your skin. We also suggest blending Exosome Therapy with polynucleotides, an additional form of regenerative medicine that can reduce inflammation and promote better collagen and elastin production.
Alternatives remain available, and we can happily discuss these with you at any time. Examples include Profhilo, one of the other treatments gaining a lot of attention in regenerative medicine. While the outcomes are thought to be less long-lasting, the benefit is that Profhilo does not contain fish DNA and, therefore, may be better suited to clients at risk of allergic reactions.
Likewise, we can advise on the relative benefits of different approaches to hair restoration, such as Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy, which works similarly to stimulate cellular activity and promote tissue repair and follicular growth in areas affected by pattern hair loss using biodynamic compounds extracted from a small blood sample.
If you’d like to discuss whether polynucleotides are the right treatment for your concerns or explore customised recommendations about the best strategic approaches to achieving a bright, healthy appearance, skin, and hair, please contact us at Meyer Clinic – we’re here to help.
