What is Polynucleotide Treatments

This  treatment is considered to be the gold standard for skin rejuvenation.

Polynucleotides are complex chains of nucleotides, the building blocks of DNA and RNA with this complex molecular structure being essential in various biological processes that include cellular repair and regeneration. Polynucleotides use the natural regenerative properties for skin rejuvenation. This treatment demonstrates where science meets aesthetics.

Polynucleotides in aesthetics differ from skin boosters as they stimulate the production of our own collagen and elastin – two of the vital proteins for elasticity and firmness of the skin.

There are so many benefits of Polynucleotides such as aids wound healing, calms inflammation, reduces premature aging, evens skin tone, reduces hyperpigmentation, improves hydration, boosts collagen and elastin, tightens skin, reduces fine lines and acne scar rejuvenation – all of this at a cellular level promoting skin health from within.
