Question 1

What are polynucleotide injections, and how do they work?

Accepted Answer

Polynucleotide injections are a type of skin rejuvenation treatment derived from DNA fragments. When injected into the skin, they stimulate collagen and elastin production, improving skin texture, hydration, and firmness.

Question 2

What areas can be treated with polynucleotide injections?

Accepted Answer

Polynucleotide injections are versatile and can treat multiple areas, including the face, neck, under-eye area, décolletage, hands, and scalp.

Question 3

Are polynucleotide injections safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes, polynucleotide injections are generally safe and well-tolerated. They have minimal side effects, with some patients experiencing mild swelling or redness at the injection site, which usually subsides within a few days.

Question 4

How many treatments will I need?

Accepted Answer

While initial improvements can be seen after one treatment, a series of 2-3 sessions spaced about 4 weeks apart is often recommended for optimal results. Annual maintenance treatments can help sustain the effects.

Question 5

How long do the results last?

Accepted Answer

The effects of polynucleotide injections typically last between six to twelve months. To maintain results, periodic treatments are recommended.

Question 6

Who is a suitable candidate for polynucleotide injections?

Accepted Answer

Is there any downtime after the procedure?

Accepted Answer

There is minimal downtime. Patients may experience slight redness, swelling, or tiny bumps at the injection site, which usually resolve within a day or two. Most people can resume their normal activities immediately.

Question 8

How soon will I see results?

Accepted Answer

Some patients notice improved skin hydration and texture within a few weeks. Optimal results are typically visible around 12 weeks post-treatment.

Question 9

Are there any risks or side effects?

Accepted Answer

Polynucleotide injections are generally safe, but possible side effects include mild bruising, swelling, or redness. Rarely, allergic reactions may occur, especially in individuals sensitive to fish-based ingredients.

Question 10

How do polynucleotide injections differ from other skin treatments?

Accepted Answer

Unlike fillers or Botox, which focus on volume and muscle relaxation, polynucleotide injections work at a cellular level to rejuvenate skin by stimulating natural collagen and elastin production, offering a more holistic approach to anti-aging.
