Celebrities such as Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Aniston have discovered the latest beauty trend for themselves. Polynucleotide treatments are the insider tip when it comes to a radiant and refreshed complexion. The beauty miracle comes from a rather unusual source - because many injectable polynucleotides are obtained from salmon sperm. What sounds exotic at first glance has long been highly valued in aesthetic medicine as a means of revitalizing the skin and giving it a fresh, youthful glow.
Dr. Linda Cox, specialist at HY STUDIO Düsseldorf, explains how polynucleotide treatments work, what benefits they offer and why they are currently considered one of the most effective anti-ageing treatments - so that the Hollywood look with the coveted “glow” is no longer reserved for the stars.
What are polynucleotides and how can they be used in the beauty world?
Polynucleotides are DNA building blocks that are used as powerful biostimulants in aesthetic medicine. Their main function is to support the natural regeneration of the skin and thereby promote the formation of collagen and elastin - the key factors for firmer and more youthful skin.
What exactly happens at the cellular level when polynucleotides are injected into the skin?
Polynucleotides stimulate the activity of fibroblasts - the cells responsible for the production of collagen and elastin. This targeted stimulation renews the skin from the inside out, visibly improving the skin's structure and creating a radiant, healthy complexion.
What are the advantages of this treatment, especially in comparison to other anti-ageing methods - what are the differences?
The range of biostimulants is extremely diverse and includes various treatment methods, including mesotherapy, autologous blood therapy (PRP), non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid, polynucleotides and treatments with poly-L-lactic acid or coated threads. Each of these methods offers a gentle yet effective way to tighten and rejuvenate the skin - without creating an artificial effect.
Are there specific indications for which this method is particularly recommended, such as skin damage or sagging?
Polynucleotides are ideal for preventing skin ageing processes. As the body's own production of collagen and elastin decreases from the age of 25, this method is ideal for combating the first signs of sagging skin at an early stage. Polynucleotides also show impressive results in the treatment of scars - whether after acne or surgical procedures - and promote skin regeneration.
What are the treatment steps and how long does it usually take for visible results to appear?
The treatment method varies depending on the area to be treated. In the mid-face area, five biostimulation points are usually placed on each side of the face. In sensitive areas such as the eye area or scalp, several superficial injections are carried out.
How often should a polynucleotide treatment be carried out to achieve optimal results?
To ensure visible results in the long term, it is recommended to repeat the treatment after around six weeks. In this way, the results can be maintained for up to two years and the skin retains its youthful glow.
