What are Polynucleotides?
Polynucleotides are often known as the “salmon sperm facial”. It is revolutionary treatment that offers longer lasting results than other treatments currently available.
- Definition: Polynucleotides are long chains of nucleotides—the building blocks of DNA and RNA—typically purified from salmon or trout.
- Scientific mechanism: Once injected into the skin, they stimulate fibroblasts, boosting collagen and elastin production. They also encourage cellular repair, improve hydration, reduce inflammation, and offer antioxidant benefits.
How They Work & Treatment Protocol
- Delivered via microdroplet injections.
- Typically, 2–4 sessions spaced 3–4 weeks apart, with maintenance every 6–12 months.
- Results generally appear in 4–8 weeks, with full effects at 12+ weeks.
