Hello Beautiful Souls!
If you’ve been following the latest trends in the aesthetics industry, you might have heard the term “Polynucleotides” (PN’s) bouncing around more frequently. These incredible substances, have been making waves for their regenerative properties and their ability to promote skin health, and I have introduced them recently here at our medical aesthetics clinic in the heart of Lichfield city centre. But what exactly are Polynucleotides, and why are they becoming such a staple in the aesthetics world?
**Understanding Polynucleotides**
Polynucleotides are long chains of nucleotides, which are the fundamental building blocks of life. Nucleotides form the backbone of DNA and RNA, carrying genetic information that dictates cellular functions. This means that, at their core, Polynucleotides contain critical information that the body can use to repair and regenerate tissues.
These powerhouses have been a part of the medical industry for many years, helping treat arthritic joints, reducing cartilage loss, and alleviating inflammation. Their primary function is one of healing and reducing inflammation, making them incredibly versatile in a variety of treatments.
**Polynucleotides in the Aesthetics World**
In the realm of aesthetics, the primary role of Polynucleotides is to “inform” the body on how to regenerate better. Think of them as the ultimate health guides for your skin, rather than doing the work themselves. When injected, PNs provide the necessary signals for the skin to increase collagen production, reduce inflammation, enhance skin cell turnover, improve elasticity, and better hydration. This results in softer lines and wrinkles, and visibly healthier skin. They are also extremely effective in improving scar tissue, making them a great option for treating acne scarring and stretch marks.
A key point to remember is that PNs are regenerative, not just rejuvenating. While rejuvenating treatments like Botox and fillers work to erase signs of ageing by filling wrinkles and adding volume, regenerative treatments like Polynucleotides stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. This fundamental distinction places PNs at the forefront of modern, holistic skin treatments.
**Why Polynucleotides Matter**
One fascinating aspect of PNs is that they are made from salmon DNA, often referred to as ‘fish sperm.’ The genetic material from salmon is incredibly biocompatible with humans, making it a powerful tool in regenerative medicine. This natural source has caught the eye of celebrities who are increasingly moving away from “artificial” treatments and seeking the epitome of skin health – notably the Kardashians, Jennifer Aniston and Katie Piper.
PNs’ regenerative qualities rather than simple rejuvenation are steering the aesthetics industry towards more sustainable and long-term skin health solutions. Regenerative treatments don’t just mask the signs of ageing; they actively work with your body to heal and improve the skin’s structure and function. This is why incorporating PNs into my practice is so important for me. While I still value toxin and fillers for their wonderful benefits, I see regenerative treatments as the future of aesthetics.
**My Aesthetics Journey and Commitment to Quality**
As a registered nurse and independent nurse prescriber running a medical aesthetics clinic in Lichfield city centre, my mission is to provide top-quality, forward-thinking treatments tailored to each individual’s needs. I only use quality products and often combine PNs with other treatments to optimise results.
For instance, I frequently combine PNs with microneedling or laser treatments to maximise their regenerative impact. And let’s not forget that SPF is a non-negotiable part of any skincare routine, especially when undergoing treatments that promote cellular turnover and collagen production.
Polynucleotides are not just a trend; they are a game-changer in the field of medical aesthetics. With their ability to support skin health from within, they align perfectly with the ethos of modern, informed skincare that focuses less on temporary fixes and more on long-term wellness.
**Looking Forward: Exosomes and More**
Stay tuned for our next blog where we’ll delve into exosomes, another exciting frontier in regenerative medicine. Exosomes are tiny vesicles that play a crucial role in cell communication and can further enhance the benefits of PNs by promoting even more efficient healing and regeneration.
As always, my goal is to inform and guide you through the best treatments available, ensuring you receive care that respects your body’s natural processes while achieving the radiant, healthy skin you deserve.
