Polynucleotides: 5 Incredible Skin Benefits You Need to Know

The New Era of Skin Regeneration

If you’re always on the lookout for the next big thing in skincare, it’s time to talk about polynucleotides: the game-changing ingredient behind some of today’s most powerful regenerative treatments

Unlike traditional dermal fillers that simply add volume, polynucleotides work with your body to restore skin health from the inside out. This injectable skincare innovation is quickly becoming the go-to solution for those seeking natural-looking and long-term results.

So, what exactly are polynucleotides?

They’re bioactive molecules derived from DNA fragments that help trigger your body’s natural repair mechanisms. Think of them as high-level communicators that tell your cells to rejuvenate, repair and regenerate.

Dr. Lauren discusses with her patient the facial areas that could benefit from aesthetic treatments.

Here are the five most incredible polynucleotides benefits you need to know:

  1. Deep Hydration Without Filler Volume:

    One of the standout benefits of polynucleotides is their ability to deeply hydrate the skin without adding bulk or volume. While dermal fillers may give a plumper appearance by physically filling in lines or hollows, polynucleotides work differently.

    They stimulate fibroblast activity and improve tissue hydration at a cellular level, leaving skin looking dewy, refreshed and youthful.

    This makes them a great option for people who want to maintain their natural contours while still achieving a glowing and moisturised complexion.

  2. Boosts Collagen & Elastin Production:

    Polynucleotides are powerful collagen boosters. They help stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, the essential proteins responsible for skin firmness and elasticity.

    As we age, our natural collagen production slows down, leading to sagging, dullness and fine lines.

    By encouraging your body to produce more of its own collagen, polynucleotides help tighten and strengthen the skin over time, making them a natural alternative to more invasive treatments.

  3. Speeds Up Skin Repair & Wound Healing:

    Whether you’re recovering from acne scars, sun damage or post-procedure redness, polynucleotides are like a first-aid kit for your skin.

    Their regenerative properties speed up skin repair, reduce inflammation and support cellular turnover.

    They’ve even been used in medical settings to accelerate wound healing, thanks to their ability to increase blood flow and stimulate tissue regeneration. In skincare, this means faster recovery times and improved overall skin health.

  4. Reduces Fine Lines & Improves Texture:

    Say goodbye to dull, uneven skin. One of the most noticeable effects of polynucleotide treatments is smoother and more refined texture.

    As collagen levels rise and hydration improves, fine lines begin to fade and skin appears visibly more radiant.

    This makes polynucleotides especially effective for treating delicate areas like under the eyes and neck, where traditional treatments might be too harsh or volumising.

  5. Deep Hydration Without Filler Volume:

    One of the standout benefits of polynucleotides is their ability to deeply hydrate the skin without adding bulk or volume. While dermal fillers may give a plumper appearance by physically filling in lines or hollows, polynucleotides work differently.

    They stimulate fibroblast activity and improve tissue hydration at a cellular level, leaving skin looking dewy, refreshed and youthful.

    This makes them a great option for people who want to maintain their natural contours while still achieving a glowing and moisturised complexion.
