Polynucleotides are genetic strands derived from salmon fish DNA, injected into the skin to promote regeneration at a cellular level. This innovative treatment enhances skin quality and can be used to hydrate the skin, reduce dark circles and under-eye bags, soften fine lines around the face, including the eyes and lips, and rejuvenate the neck area. It is also effective in improving scars, stretch marks and overall skin texture, resulting in a healthier, more youthful appearance.
Polynucleotides work by re-invigorating skin cells, encouraging them to produce more elastin and collagen, and extending their life-span. They are also beneficial in pigmentation reduction by decreasing melanin production. At Aesthetic Medical Academy we use the Plinest range from Mastelli for Polynucleotide treatment (Plinest eye, Plinest hair, Plinest and Newest – a blend of Profhilo and Polynucletides).
