Polynucleotide solution has the capability to send specific signals to the skin at a cellular level to bring about the actions we would like it to perform, so when it is injected into the skin it offers the following benefits:

- Increases cellular turnover leading to fresher looking skin
- Increases production of elastin to reduce skin laxity
- Improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Improves the micro-circulation to improve brightness
- Reduces dark circles under the eyes
- Keeps skin hydrated
- Plumps the skin and reduces hollowness under the eyes

HOW ARE POLYNUCLEOTIDES DIFFERENT TO DERMAL FILLERS?

Dermal fillers are usually made from a synthetic version of hyaluronic acid and act as 'implants' in the skin to volumise, hydrate and improve skin folds, wrinkles etc. Whilst dermal fillers can be amazing for some skin concerns there are occasions when a dermal filler is not the right choice and polynucleotides are more appropriate.

For example, many people seek tear trough treatment for a tired, hollow undereye area but they may not be suitable for dermal filler. This may be because the hollowness is not deep enough, or the skin is too thin, they have dark circles or they have some undereye puffiness. So for these individuals who are not suitable for tear trough treatment, polynucleotide treatment may be much more appropriate.

I solely use Croma’s PhilArt polynucleotide which is derived from Trout instead of the more commonly used Salmon. I really rate Croma for their education, guidance, support and science.

HOW MANY TREATMENTS WILL I NEED?

For best results I recommend 2 treatments initially (2-4 weeks apart) with a top-up session around every 9-12 months to maintain the results. Unlike dermal fillers which offer instant results, polynucleotide treatment requires some patience, with best results seen 2-3 months following treatment.
