Dr Shyna Raj of Shine Medical Cosmetic clinic answers: what are polynucleotides and how can it be beneficial for our skin health?

After several years of research and multiple studies, scientists have produced a ground breaking advancement in Regenerative Aesthetic Medicine - Polynucleotides.

Polynucleotide injectable gel contains highly purified DNA fractions extracted from trout.

Polynucleotides have been proven in several studies to promote cell repair and regeneration and stimulate your skin cells to produce more collagen and elastin leading to healthier, more youthful looking skin.

As we age, our skin structure loses firmness and elasticity and this leads to the emergence of fine lines and wrinkles.

Compared to other injectable treatments, research has shown that polynucleotides have better ability to stimulate skin regeneration at a cellular level by stimulating our skin cells - fibroblasts to naturally increase production of collagen and elastin and repair damaged skin cells.

This results in enhanced skin vitality and a naturally youthful and revitalised complexion.
