Polynucleotides For Under The Eyes
Posted on 27th June 2024 by Dr Yusra Al-Mukhtar
Have you noticed that you look more tired than usual? Have people been telling you to get some more rest? Or is it that your beautiful years on this earth are starting to show in fine lines around your eyes?
If any of these apply to you, you could benefit from Polynucleotides under eye treatment. Keep reading to find out how you can give your eyes a brighter and more fresh appearance.
What Are Polynucleotides?
Polynucleotides are long chains of nucleotides, which are the basic building blocks of DNA and RNA. For aesthetic purposes, polynucleotides are derived from purified DNA, often sourced from salmon or trout.
These substances are then used in injectable treatments, which aim to stimulate skin rejuvenation. By doing so, they help to improve your skin’s hydration and promote elastin and collagen production, which encourage cellular renewal for better skin texture and skin laxity.
What Are the Benefits of Polynucleotide Treatment?
If you’re looking to give your skin a boost and turn back the clock a little then Polynucleotides can massively help, here’s a few reasons why!
- They can reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin
- They can improve skin hydration and texture
- They can reduce inflammation and redness
- They can help to protect the skin from damage caused by the sun
- They can help to reduce dark circles under the eyes
- They can improve skin tone and reduce any pigmentation
- They are usually very well tolerated and have minimal side effects
- They offer more sustained results than other methods
- They can stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, to improve skin elasticity and firmness.
What Areas Can Polynucleotides Treat?
As we age, fine lines become apparent, not only in the face but in a variety of areas of the human body. Luckily for us, Polynucleotide treatment is effective at treating a variety of skin concerns in various areas of the human body. These can include:
- Whole Face
- Abdomen
- Knees
- Scalp
- Under eyes
How Can Polynucleotides Treat Your Under Eyes?
Your under-eye area is a delicate place and it’s often one of the first places that will start to show early signs of ageing. This can appear as dark circles, puffiness and fine lines.
The under-eye area is particularly delicate and often one of the first places to show signs of ageing, such as dark circles, puffiness, and fine lines. Polynucleotide treatments address these issues in several ways:
Boost The Production of Collagen and Elastin
Polynucleotides stimulate the production of collagen and elastin which are two proteins essential for maintaining skin firmness and elasticity. This helps to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, resulting in a more youthful appearance.
Keep Your Under Eyes Hydrated
By increasing skin hydration, polynucleotides help to plump the under-eye area, reducing the appearance of hollows and making the skin look more vibrant and healthy.
Reduce Signs of Pigmentation
Polynucleotides improve skin tone by reducing pigmentation. This is particularly beneficial for those struggling with dark circles, as it lightens the area and gives a more even complexion.
Have an Overall Anti-Inflammatory Effect
The anti-inflammatory properties of polynucleotides help to reduce puffiness and swelling under the eyes. This can significantly reduce the appearance of under-eye bags to give you a bright and much more rested look.
What Are the Side Effects of Polynucleotides for Under the Eyes?
One of the appealing aspects of polynucleotide treatments is their minimal side effects. Most patients experience only minor side effects, if any. These may include:
- Mild bruising at the injection site
- Slight swelling
- Redness or tenderness
After treatment, you can expect these side effects to disappear within a few days. On the whole, most people tend to react well to Polynucleotides as it’s considered a safe and effective treatment.
How Many Treatments Will You Need?
The number of treatments required can vary depending on individual needs and the specific condition of the skin. To see significant results, we recommend that our patients undergo a course of three treatments.
These three treatments should be spread 2-3 weeks apart to give your skin time to adjust to the polynucleotides. Maintenance treatments are usually recommended to prolong the benefits of this skin treatment.
How Long Does the Polynucleotide Treatment Last?
The results of polynucleotide treatments are long-lasting compared to traditional fillers, as they continue to develop over time. If you opt for this skin treatment, you can expect to see optimal results for at least 6 months before requiring a top-up session.
The length of time that the treatment will last varies based on individual factors such as skin type, age, and lifestyle – not everyone is the same, and neither are their bodies.
How Are Polynucleotides for Under the Eyes Different from Tear Trough Fillers?
While both polynucleotide treatments and tear-trough dermal fillers aim to rejuvenate the under-eye area, they work in different ways and offer distinct benefits.
Tear Trough Filler Treatment
How does it work? These fillers typically use hyaluronic acid to add volume and reduce the appearance of hollows and shadows under the eyes. They work by physically filling in the area to create a smoother contour.
How long does it last? Around 6-18 months.
Side effects? Some bruising and swelling.
Polynucleotides
How does it work? Rather than adding volume, like dermal fillers, polynucleotides stimulate the skin’s natural regenerative processes. They improve collagen and elastin production, improve hydration, and promote cellular renewal. This leads to a more even skin tone and a long-lasting fresh appearance.
How long does it last? Unlike dermal fillers, Polynucleaotides offer a sustainable development and effects that last around 6 months before requiring a maintenance session.
Side effects? Some bruising and swelling are normal but much less than that found with dermal fillers. The side effects of Polynucleotides tend to be more minimal and the recovery time is much shorter.
