The world of aesthetic medicine is continuously evolving and with new and innovative treatments coming onto the scene. We believe it is essential that our patients receive the safest and most extensively tested treatments available. A revolutionary treatment we now offer here at &Eve is polynucleotides skin boosters. This treatment was originally used in medicine for joint healing but has been found to offer significant skin restorative and regenerative properties.
Polynucleotides are extracted DNA fractions from trout and salmon sperm. When purified and injected into the skin, they attract water molecules, helping the skin to lock in hydration on a cellular level. Polynucleotides scavenge and remove free radicals which can build up as a result of cell damage from stress, external pollution and UV rays. Polynucleotides also initiate your body’s own natural fibroblast production, resulting in a thicker and more resilient superficial skin layer, as well as increased collagen production. This is vital for healthy and glowing skin. Polynucleotides can also reduce inflammation and add volume to crepey or sagging skin.
Polynucleotides are incredibly versatile and can help with a variety of skin concerns, These include:
Polynucleotides can be used to treat the face and neck, decollete, arms, knees and abdomen. They are especially useful in the eye area as a safe alternative to dermal filler tear trough treatment for those sensitive to Hyaluronic Acid.
If you are someone over the age of 30 and are noticing subtle or more significant changes in the tone, texture and quality of your skin, polynucleotides could be the perfect option for you. However, at &Eve we will always ask that you attend a pre-treatment consultation where we will discuss your facial concerns, the polynucleotides treatment protocols, and ensure there are no medical reasons that you could not go ahead with the treatment.
After your treatment you may experience some bee sting-type bumps at the injection sites and your skin may feel a little tender. You may also experience some redness and potential light bruising, but these are all natural reactions and will subside in a day or so.
Initial results can usually be seen 4 weeks after your first treatment session, with further improvements continuing in the weeks and months following the course.
This depends on your individual skin concerns and the results you are looking to achieve. We usually recommend four treatment sessions a month apart for optimum results. Maintenance sessions are usually required once every 6 to 12 months.
