Polynucleotide

Polynucleotides, also known as PDRN, are a type of substance derived from DNA. They are used in cosmetic treatments because they can help improve skin quality, reduce wrinkles, and promote tissue repair. Polynucleotide-based products are often used in procedures like skin rejuvenation, where they can enhance the appearance and health of the skin.

What are the benefits?

Polynucleotides offer several benefits for under-eye treatment:

Minimize Dark Circles: Polynucleotide treatment reduces pigmentation and discolouration, diminishing the appearance of dark circles. Results show an impressive improvement in under-eye brightness of over 32% in just 4 weeks.
Improve Skin Elasticity: Polynucleotides promote greater skin elasticity, reducing the formation of fine lines and wrinkles. Studies indicate an average increase in skin elasticity of 22% in just weeks.
Reduce Under-Eye Hollows: While not filling out deep tear troughs like traditional fillers, polynucleotides help subtly reduce their appearance by plumping and rejuvenating the skin in this area.
Increase Cell Turnover: Polynucleotide treatment boosts cell turnover, resulting in a fresher and rejuvenated under-eye area.
Protect Against Free Radical Damage: Polynucleotide eyes possess antioxidant properties that shield the under-eye area from free radical damage, promoting overall skin health.
Hydrate Under Eyes: Polynucleotides stimulate higher hyaluronic acid synthesis, ensuring the under-eye area remains hydrated and plump.
Minimize Fine Lines and Wrinkles: By stimulating collagen and elastin production, polynucleotide treatment reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes.
Improve Skin Texture: Polynucleotides enhance skin texture, resulting in a smoother and more refined under-eye area, reducing roughness and unevenness for a refreshed and youthful look.

How long do they last?

You typically need 2-3 polynucleotide treatments, spaced 2-4 weeks apart.

Polynucleotide treatments typically yield results lasting between 6 to 9 months. After this period, a single top-up session is recommended to maintain the desired outcome.

Tear Trough Filler

Choosing between polynucleotides and tear trough filler for under eye treatment depends on your specific concerns and goals. Here's a guide to help you choose the best treatment for your specific concern:

For more natural-looking results and better skin health, consider polynucleotides.
If you're concerned about significant volume loss or desire immediate results, tear trough filler might be a better option.
Polynucleotides are generally considered safer with fewer side effects and are suitable for sensitive skin.

VS
Profhilo

The difference between polynucleotide and Profhilo treatments lies in their composition, mechanisms of action, and suitability for different concerns.

Polynucleotides can be used around the eyes and on the forehead, whereas Profhilo cannot. Both treatments are suitable for use on the cheeks, neck, décolletage, and stomach.

Aftercare Process:

Essential Tips for Optimal Results

Avoid Makeup: Refrain from applying makeup to the treated area for at least 24 hours after each polynucleotide treatment.
Gentle Care: Be gentle when cleansing the under-eye area. Use a mild, non-abrasive cleanser and avoid rubbing or scrubbing the skin.
Sun Protection: Protect your skin from sun exposure by wearing sunglasses and applying sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher to the treated area.
Avoid Excessive Heat: Avoid hot baths, saunas, steam rooms, and direct heat exposure to the under-eye area for at least 24-48 hours after treatment.
Hydration: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated from within. This helps maintain the results of the polynucleotide treatment.
Follow-Up Care: Attend any follow-up appointments as recommended by your healthcare provider to monitor your progress and address any concerns.
Be Patient: Results from polynucleotide treatments may take time to fully manifest. Be patient and consistent with your aftercare routine for optimal results.
Contact Your Provider: If you experience any unusual or concerning symptoms after treatment, such as excessive swelling, redness, or pain, contact your healthcare provider immediately.
