Question 1

What are polynucleotides?

Accepted Answer

Polynucleotides are purified fragments of DNA derived from salmon sperm or trout sperm.
This is injected into the skin to stimulate our cells to produces more collagen and elastin; therefore improving the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
It is a popular 'salmon sperm facial'  known to be had by Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Anniston.
It is considered revolutionary in the new wave of aesthetics where there is more bio regenerative aesthetics to encourage our bodies to produce more of the good stuff.

Question 2

How can I get rid of my dark circles?

Accepted Answer

Dark circles can be caused by many things; too much screen time, lack of sleep, lack of hydration, genetics, poor lymphatic drainage. And because there are so many causes, there are many different treatment options, depending on what your specific concern is.

Briefly to summarise:
- hollowing under the neath the eyes (with or without pigmentation and dark circles), will see the best improvements with tear trough filler. Sometimes if the hollowing is subtle and faint, then it may be better to have a few sessions of NCTF eye brightening mesotherapy treatments (see details of recovery and prices on SKIN page).

- no hollowing but just pigmentation; then I would recommend NCTF eye brightening, with a minimum of 3 sessions, 2 weeks apart. Then I would also top this up with an excellent eye brightening retinol serum/night cream.

- eye bags or puffiness; it would be best to trial out polynucleotides for 3 sessions and see the improvements. Again specific eye creams will help. Sometimes eye bags can be camouflaged with different types of fillers to support the cheek and blend the eye bag into the skin instead.

- medical eye care creams alone will help, but slowly, and it will often take 3 months to see any signs of initial improvement, where as the other results mentioned above are immediate.

Please see a breakdown of all the treatment options that are available on the SKIN & FACIAL AESTHETIC INJECTABLES treatment menu.

Question 3

How to get rid of acne scarring?

Accepted Answer

Once your acne has stabilised, if you are conscious of the marks left behind, do not worry. There are so many options out there.

It is always good to incorporate a retinol into your routine to increase your skin cell turnover, but to get more disruption of the skin cells and improve your collagen production, I would recommend a course of medical grade microneedling with SkinPen, followed by some sessions with polnucleotides.
