    What Are Polynucleotides?

    Polynucleotides (PDRN) are purified DNA fragments derived from salmon or trout DNA. When injected, they stimulate cellular repair, boost collagen synthesis, and enhance skin regeneration at a fundamental level.

    Unlike hyaluronic acid treatments that primarily hydrate, polynucleotides work by activating your skin's own repair mechanisms. They promote fibroblast activity, improve blood flow, and reduce inflammation — addressing the root causes of skin ageing rather than just its symptoms.

    This makes polynucleotide therapy particularly effective for patients who want genuine skin regeneration — not just temporary hydration or volumisation. Results develop progressively and continue improving for months after treatment.
