What are Polynucleotides and why are they the “must have” treatment of the moment?

For the whole of 2024 we’ve been seeing celebrities posting about the “salmon sperm facial” and how it’s ah-mazing for their skin but no one’s telling you what it is or how they work!

Long story short, polynucleotides are purified forms of DNA taken from responsibly sourced Trout or Salmon. This DNA is a close match for own and when injected under the surface of our skin, it has some ah-mazing results.

Polynucleotides are clinically proven to reduce inflammation under the skin ( fabulous for acne and rosacea ), they can reduce pigmentation alongside other treatments, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and are even proven to aid in hair growth (think beards and hair loss)

What’s more, polynucleotides can be injected anywhere there’s skin, so no longer will our necks, décolletage or even hands give our age away!

As polynucleotides are a regenerative treatment, we recommend 3 x treatments 3-4 weeks apart and then top up treatments every 4-6 months to maintain results.

Here at AB Clinical we use the premium brand Dermafocus as they hold high doses of the product per syringe and are classed as a medical device.

As our resident skin expert, I am a huge fan of polynucleotides and their properties and enjoy building them into our patients treatments plans alongside many of our other treatments!

Remember to book your skin consultation to build your treatment plan and start your polynucleotide journey!
