Anti-Ageing Polynucleotide Treatments
Backed by scientific research and clinical evidence, polynucleotides have emerged as an innovative option for those seeking natural-looking results and long-lasting improvements. These advanced injections deliver a blend of nucleotides directly into the skin, stimulating collagen production, promoting cellular regeneration, and restoring youthful vitality. They offer a safe, effective solution for achieving your skincare goals.
At Dr Julia Sen Health & Wellness Clinic we now offer Polynucleotides by PhilArt including Eye & Next.
What Are Polynucleotide Injections? They are a type of regenerative medical treatment derived from farmed trout bred for human consumption. They contain polynucleotides, which are small DNA fragments that have been shown to stimulate tissue regeneration and repair.
​
What Can Polynucleotide Injections Be Used For? They have a wide range of applications, and are now commonly used for skin rejuvenation and anti-ageing to address a multitude of aesthetic concerns.
​
What are the side effects? Side effects are typically mild and temporary and may include redness, swelling, bruising or tenderness at the injection site. In rare cases, patients may experience allergic reactions or infection at the injection site.
​
How Effective Are They? Clinical studies have shown promising results in terms of improving skin quality. Please be aware: The effects are not immediate and may take time to become apparent and multiple treatments are needed for optimal results.
Do Polynucleotide Injections Hurt? Most patients report minimal discomfort. The injections are administered using a very fine needle, and a topical anaesthetic can be applied beforehand. Any discomfort is usually brief and well-tolerated.
​
What does the treatment entail? Dr Sen will first assess your specific needs and goals during a consultation. During treatment, the area will be cleaned and prepared, and the polynucleotide solution will be injected into the targeted area using a series of small injections. The entire procedure typically takes less than 30 minutes to complete, and there is little to no downtime afterward.
​
What Post-Treatment Advice Should I Follow? It is important to follow any specific post-treatment instructions provided.
Special Polynucleotide Introductory Price: £200 per treatment or a course of three treatments for £500 (three treatments recommended for optimal results with occasional top-ups required about every 6-12 months).
The Benefits Of Polynucleotides In Skincare & Aesthetics
01.
Cellular Rejuvenation
When injected into the skin, they enhance the body's ability to repair and replace damaged or aged skin cells. This process results in improved texture, tone and elasticity, leading to a more youthful and radiant complexion.
02.
Enhanced Hydration
​Polynucleotides stimulate the production of hyaluronic acid, a natural moisturising component found in the skin. This results in improved hydration and helps in reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
03.
Anti-Inflammatory
Polynucleotides high anti-inflammatory activity shows promise in managing skin conditions such as psoriasis and rosacea. While research is ongoing, they may offer potential for a more holistic approach to skincare
04.
Versatile Applications
Polynucleotides can be used to address a wide array of aesthetic concerns, including reducing signs of ageing, enhancing texture, and addressing specific issues such as acne scars or pigmentation irregularities.
Discover Profhilo® for Enhanced Skin Quality
Profhilo® is an FDA-approved “under the skin” procedure designed to improve skin tone, texture, hydration, and radiance. Unlike traditional fillers, Profhilo® works as a bio-remodelling treatment, stimulating collagen and elastin to enhance tissue quality in areas like the face, neck, décolleté, and hands.
Profhilo® delivers visible results in two-three sessions to improve skin tone, texture, hydration and radiance. This FDA-approved “under the skin” procedure takes just 20 minutes and uses key injection points to focus on specific areas of concern. This allows slow-release hyaluronic acid to directly stimulate collagen and elastin, significantly improving tissue quality.
As a new generation of safe and effective treatment, it delivers dramatic improvement in tissue quality. While it is most commonly used on the face, it also helps to rejuvenate the skin on your neck, décolleté and hands. It works by stimulating activity on the dermal (deep skin) cells to counteract laxity and improve firmness.
​
One of the great benefits of Profhilo® is there is minimal downtime. You may be able to feel the product initially after the treatment in the injection points, however it starts to diffuse very quickly and your skin will feel softer by next day.
Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is a naturally occurring substance found extensively within our bodies in structures including the eyes, skin, joints and nervous tissue. It is constantly being broken down and replaced within our tissues, but as we age skin loses its HA content and this results in loss of tissue volume and dehydration.
Profhilo® injections are administered in a clinic setting. The skin will be thoroughly cleansed and local anaesthetic cream applied to reduce the discomfort of the injection. This is left to take effect for at least 20 minutes. There may be stinging as the filler is injected but this may be further reduced by lidocaine pre-added to the filler syringe which will result in some numbness which may persist for an hour or so.
​
Post-injection you may experience visible lumps and pin prick-like marks at injection sites which disappear within 24 hours. There may be a small amount of localised discolouration or bruising.
