Polynucleotides
WHAT ARE POLYNUCLEOTIDES?
- Polynucleotides are an advanced regenerative treatment made from highly purified DNA fragments, designed to support the skin's natural repair and regeneration processes.
- They are particularly popular for the delicate under-eye area, helping to improve the appearance of fine lines, crepiness, dehydration, and tired-looking skins while supporting hydration, elasticity and overall skin quality.
- Polynucleotides can also be used for wider skin rejuvenation and to support scalp health as part of hair restoration treatments.
