The new super trend from Korea
A new and promising trend is emerging in aesthetic medicine: salmon DNA polynucleotides. This innovative treatment originated in Korea and promotes natural skin regeneration and visibly improves skin quality. Since Jennifer Aniston used it to treat her eyebags, the treatment has gone viral, and more and more salons have included it in their offers.
Polynucleotides (PNs) are long-chain molecules of 13 or more nucleotide monomers linked together. Nucleotides are the basic building blocks of DNA, which carry genetic information in all living cells. PNs are fundamental building blocks of life and play a crucial role in cell regeneration, the immune system, and intestinal health. Studies show that certain parts of cellular genetic information can lead to remarkable skin rejuvenation.
PNs are usually derived from salmon sperm, which closely mimics that of humans. After extraction, the sperm is distilled and purified before being mixed with water and used as a cosmetic injectable.
Polynucleotides have gained interest in cosmetics and skincare due to their potential benefits for skin health.
Polynucleotides improve the skin's hydration and eliminate free radicals, the leading cause of skin aging. They promote the growth of connective tissue cells and support the production of the body's collagen and elastic fibers. This stimulation of natural cell regeneration leads to improved skin quality and elasticity, making the skin appear more radiant and rejuvenated.
In aesthetic medicine, polynucleotides are mixed with hyaluronic acid and injected as a gel. Since this is a regenerative therapy in which the body becomes active, visible results can be expected after 2-3 months.
