Polynucleotide Treatment Glasgow
Polynucleotide treatment uses the body's own healing powers to regenerate the skin from within. We are delighted to offer this innovative and effective treatment at our award-winning aesthetics clinic in Glasgow.
Polynucleotide treatments are quickly becoming one of our most popular treatments. This procedure is ideal if you are looking for a safe and effective way to combat the signs of ageing by restoring youthful-looking skin with improved skin texture.
Polynucleotide injections are also used to achieve stunning results for a range of other skin concerns, from dark circles under the eyes to stretch marks.
You can book a consultation at the Glasgow clinic using our online form here or call us on 0141 611 6116. Please note that consultations are £20, which is redeemable against a treatment.
How do polynucleotides work?
Unlike some other skin boosters, polynucleotides work at a cellular level, prompting fibroblasts in the skin to boost their elastin and collagen production. The active ingredient is derived from salmon or trout DNA, which is highly compatible with human DNA, making this a safe and effective skin treatment for our Glasgow patients.
Why is collagen production so important for healthy skin?
Collagen and elastin production are responsible for youthful-looking skin.
As we age, production slows, causing a loss of skin elasticity, smoothness and firmness typical of young skin.
Environmental factors, poor diet, and other lifestyle choices can also diminish the complexion's radiance and coarsen skin texture.
Increased collagen and elastin production boosts skin quality from within, leaving it healthy, smooth and firm with a more youthful appearance.
What are the benefits of polynucleotides treatment?
By increasing collagen and elastin production, polynucleotides treatment delivers a range of skin rejuvenation benefits, including:
Improved skin texture
Improved hydration
Reduced inflammation, including redness caused by acne, eczema
Reduced fine lines and wrinkles
Tightened skin laxity
A refreshed eye area, including a reduction in the appearance of dark circles
Is polynucleotide treatment suitable for the delicate under-eye area?
Polynucleotide treatment is gentle enough for the delicate areas under the eyes. It is also used all over the face, neck and decolletage.
What happens during a polynucleotide session at the Glasgow clinic?
A numbing cream will be applied to the treatment area to minimise discomfort.
Your doctor will then inject a transparent gel into the skin using a fine needle or cannula.
The polynucleotide injection procedure is quick, with each treatment area taking just a few minutes.
How soon will I see the results of my treatment?
Most patients see visible signs of improvement after a few weeks. The benefits continue to develop for months, and collagen and elastin levels remain elevated for up to a year.
Am I a good candidate for polynucleotides?
If you are interested in skin regeneration with natural-looking results, including improved skin hydration, elasticity, firmness and texture, then polynucleotides may be right for you.
It is important to know that the active ingredient in this treatment is derived from fish, so it is not an appropriate treatment for vegetarians, vegans or people with fish allergies.
Will I need any downtime after polynucleotide injections?
Minimal downtime is required after polynucleotide injections.
There may be a little redness or swelling at the injection sites, but this will soon subside.
We advise patients to avoid strenuous exercise for a day or so, as this can increase blood flow to the treatment area and potentially worsen skin irritation.
How many sessions will I need?
Patients typically have a short course of 2 to 3 sessions.
Maintenance treatments will preserve your skin condition for the longer term.
