A. Polynucleotides are injectable treatments derived from highly purified salmon or trout DNA. Polynucleotides make up the building blocks of DNA/RNA which is crucial for cellular repair. This creates an optimal environment for Fibroblast growth which are responsible for tissue repair and regeneration. This also helps to reduce cellular damage.
When injected under the skin Polynucleotides improve skin elasticity and quality which can treat dark circles, fine lines and scarring.
A. As always at Aesthetics by Dr Katherine, York on arrival we will discuss your treatment goals and desired outcomes to formulate a treatment plan. You will need to complete medical and consent forms, if not already done. Please note Polynucleotides are effective, but limited, and so may not be suitable for all patients.
Once the forms are completed and we have a treatment plan in place photos will be taken. These are mandatory photos taken pre-treatment and will be stored confidentially with your medical records.
After applying numbing/local anaesthetic cream your face will be cleaned and injection sites may be marked out before commencing the Polynucleotide treatment.
A. If the treatments are in the same area eg face, I advise to wait for 2 weeks between treatments.
A. The face, eyes, inner arms, décolletage, stomach.
A. As with any injection it is common to get some redness, tenderness and small lumps to the skin following treatment. This tends to last a few hours only. It is common to get some puffiness or swelling to the area that may last a few days. This can be managed by applying ice/cool compresses.
There is a risk of infection, however this is prevented as much as possible by thoroughly cleaning the skin and it is advised not to touch your skin, wear make-up or apply products for the first 24 hours.
As Polynucleotides are made from naturally occurring substances the risk of allergy/anaphylaxis is very low.
A. You cannot have Polynucleotides if you have any of the following:
A. As your skin has been injected it is very normal to have some small red lumps at the injection sites. These should settle in approx. 1 hour. Bruising may occur, but this tends to be minimal and easily covered.
At Aesthetics by Dr Katherine, York it is advised not to consume alcohol, wear make up, exercise or use hot environments such as showers or gyms for 24 hours after your treatment. Plus no sunbeds or saunas for 48 hours. This is to reduce risk of infection and bruising.
A. There is minimal downtime, you will have some small blebs following your treatment which tend to reduce after a few hours. You may develop swelling, especially if treatment is around the eyes, and small bruises may occur. These tend to last a few days only.
A. I advise 3-4 treatments 2-3 weeks apart. Maintenance treatments at 6-9 months.
