Polynucleotides: an innovative treatment for combating signs of skin aging

As a dermatologist, I’m particularly fond of treatments that actively stimulate the skin—whether that’s through injectables like Profhilo and Sculptra (the so-called biostimulators), or devices such as Morpheus8. Interest in products that genuinely activate the skin’s natural processes is growing rapidly. That’s a welcome development, as it’s driving a surge in scientific research and regularly bringing new products and technologies to the market.

A relatively new group of biostimulators is based on polynucleotides, marketed under names like Juvenus, PhilArt, or PolyPhil. These are substances with unique biochemical properties that help improve skin elasticity and are effective against various signs of aging, such as wrinkles, loss of firmness, and a dull or uneven skin tone.

This injectable gel, made from polymerized polynucleotides (PDRN), benefits the skin in several ways:

Firstly, intensive hydration: due to its hydrophilic structure, the product can effectively bind water molecules, thus providing intense hydration to the tissue.

Additionally, it has a strong antioxidant effect: antioxidants neutralize free radicals. Free radicals are aggressive substances that can damage skin cells in this case. Antioxidants can help prevent and repair this damage.

The intensive hydration and antioxidant action create an optimal physiological environment for the growth of fibroblasts. Fibroblasts are the driving force behind maintaining skin firmness. Their primary function is to produce collagen in the skin. Fibroblasts also play a significant role in wound healing, the production of elastin fibers, and other skin fibers, keeping your skin firm and elastic.

Outcome: improvement in skin quality and strengthening effect when combined with other treatments

Essentially, the product can be used anywhere to enhance skin quality. This treatment can also be employed before or immediately after procedures such as CO2 laser treatment or Morpheus8. It prepares the skin for subsequent steps in the treatment process.

However, focus primarily on treating the skin of the face, neck, décolletage, hands, possibly knees, inner thighs, and arms. Unlike other injectable biostimulators, it can also be used on the forehead. Another special indication is for treating scars and stretch marks.

A completely new development is the possibility of treating the area directly around the eyes with a product specifically developed for this purpose. It’s fascinating and incredibly useful that we finally have a biomodulator suitable for use in this delicate area.

How do polynucleotides work?

Depending on the desires and possibilities, a plan is devised. For “normal” skin, more focus will be on prevention, and typically, 3 treatments with approximately 3 weeks between each session will suffice. We use 2 ml per area, or 3 ml for the face including the forehead. However, mature skin often requires four treatments initially. Subsequent treatments can then be adjusted based on your preferences and clinical assessment, usually occurring every 3-4 months. Specific protocols exist for treating delicate areas like around the eyes or addressing scars and stretch marks; we’ll discuss these before beginning your treatment journey.

As with any injectable procedure, there might be minor swelling or bruising. However, you can usually resume your daily activities immediately as camouflage makeup can be applied the day after treatment.
