Polynucleotides

These are natural DNA molecules extracted from salmon or trout sperm that are so purified that the DNA fragments are the same as human DNA. This product is injected into the skin and has been used since the 1950s for burn and wound healing.

They work by directly stimulating fibroblasts in the skin, which then produce collagen and elastin, resulting in a firmer, more youthful appearance of the skin. This has particularly good effects around the eyes and the mouth, and polynucleotides injections have also been improve hair growth, and can be used after a hair transplant for increased healing.

What are polynucleotides?

They can also scavenge free radicals in the skin which contribute to ageing, and can help to build up the extra cellular matrix. It can help to target acne, scarring, pigmentation and general skin laxity from ageing. This is great as further treatments build on this and the effects will only get better with multiple treatments.

Common brands include Nucleofill and Plinest (derived from salmon DNA) and Plenhyage (derived from trout DNA).
