Polynucleotides
Polynucleotide injections are an advanced, non-surgical solution designed to rejuvenate and repair delicate skin, particularly around the eyes. Polynucleotides are naturally occurring bioactive molecules that work by deeply hydrating the skin, stimulating collagen production, and improving overall skin elasticity. This innovative treatment helps reduce signs of aging, such as fine lines, wrinkles, and dark circles, while also improving skin texture and tone.
In the context of eye treatment, polynucleotide injections target the thin, fragile skin around the eyes—an area that is often the first to show signs of aging. By promoting tissue regeneration and increasing hydration at the cellular level, these injections provide a plumping and smoothing effect, reducing the appearance of crow’s feet, under-eye hollows, and puffiness. The result is a more refreshed, youthful look, with minimal downtime and long-lasting benefits.
How Polynucleotide Injections Work for Eye Treatment
Skin Hydration and Repair
Polynucleotides work by binding to water molecules, deeply hydrating the skin and creating a more plump, youthful appearance. This hydration helps to smooth out fine lines and improve the overall quality of the skin, making it more resilient and less prone to damage.
Collagen Stimulation
In addition to hydrating the skin, polynucleotides stimulate the production of collagen—a protein that gives the skin its strength and structure. Increased collagen levels help to firm the skin, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and sagging around the eyes.
Tissue Regeneration
Polynucleotides promote tissue regeneration by stimulating cell growth and repair processes. This makes the treatment particularly effective for the delicate eye area, as it helps to rebuild damaged skin and restore its youthful structure.
Reducing Puffiness and Dark Circles
By improving microcirculation and reducing inflammation, polynucleotides can also help to diminish under-eye puffiness and dark circles. This provides a more rested and rejuvenated appearance.
Minimal Downtime, Lasting Results
One of the major benefits of polynucleotide injections is the minimal downtime associated with the procedure. Patients can typically return to their normal activities shortly after treatment, and the results—such as smoother skin, reduced wrinkles, and improved tone—can last for several months with maintenance treatments.
Frequently Asked Questions:
What are polynucleotides?
Polynucleotides are bioactive molecules that consist of long chains of nucleotides, which are the building blocks of DNA. They play a key role in cellular repair and regeneration by supporting tissue healing, hydration, and collagen production.
How do polynucleotide injections work specifically around the eyes?
Polynucleotide injections hydrate and regenerate the delicate skin around the eyes by stimulating collagen production and promoting tissue repair. This helps to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and puffiness, while improving skin elasticity and tone.
What skin concerns can polynucleotide injections address in the eye area?
Polynucleotide injections are highly effective for treating a range of issues in the eye area, including crow’s feet, under-eye hollows, puffiness, dark circles, and general signs of aging like sagging skin and fine lines.
How is the treatment administered?
The treatment involves the injection of a polynucleotide-based solution into the skin around the eyes. A fine needle is used to precisely target the areas of concern. The procedure is typically quick and minimally invasive, taking about 20-30 minutes.
Is the procedure painful?
Most patients report minimal discomfort during the procedure. A topical numbing cream can be applied to the treatment area beforehand to ensure comfort. Mild swelling or redness may occur but usually subsides within a few hours.
How long does it take to see results?
Results typically begin to appear within 2 to 4 weeks after treatment, as the polynucleotides stimulate collagen production and tissue repair. Skin will continue to improve over time, with full results visible after several weeks.
How long do the effects of polynucleotide injections last?
The effects of polynucleotide injections can last for several months, with most patients seeing optimal results for up to 6 months. Regular maintenance treatments can help extend the benefits and keep the skin looking youthful and refreshed.
Are there any side effects?
Side effects are typically minimal and may include temporary redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site. These usually resolve within a few hours to a couple of days. More serious side effects are rare when the treatment is performed by a qualified practitioner.
How many treatments will I need?
For optimal results, a course of 2 to 3 treatments is usually recommended, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. Your practitioner will design a personalized treatment plan based on your skin condition and aesthetic goals.
Can I combine polynucleotide injections with other treatments?
Yes, polynucleotide injections can be combined with other treatments such as dermal fillers, anti-wrinkle injections, or skin resurfacing treatments for enhanced rejuvenation. Your practitioner will advise you on the best combination for your needs.
Is there any downtime?
Downtime is minimal. Some patients may experience mild swelling or redness immediately after the procedure, but most can return to their normal activities within a few hours
