Polynucleotides

Polynucleotides treatments are a groundbreaking concept in regenerative medicine.

This revolutionary treatment enhances cell turnover, boosts skin elasticity, hydrates, repairs sun-damaged skin, and addresses photoaging and acne scarring, resulting in a nourished, healthy, and revitalized complexion.

How do polynucleotides work?

Polynucleotides are long chains of nucleotides, the essential building blocks of DNA and RNA. In aesthetic medicine, polynucleotides which are derived from salmon DNA have been found to stimulate fibroblasts, promoting collagen and elastin production, which are crucial for maintaining firm, youthful skin. Polynucleotides focus on improving skin health from within

They work by:

    • Enhancing tissue regeneration
    • Boosting hydration and elasticity
    • Reducing inflammation and oxidative stress
    • Improving skin texture and tone

    This makes them an ideal treatment for aging skin, acne scars, and overall skin quality enhancement.

      The Power of Polynucleotides

      ‘They are classed as part of the Regenerative Medicine sector. When Polynucleotides are injected into the skin, they expedite the body’s cell regeneration cycle and enhance its repair mechanisms. Polynucleotides brands include Plinest, Vitaran, nucleofill and Lumi Pro being high-end polynucleotides and are used here at Lumera.

      Benefits of Plinest Polynucleotides
      1. Natural Skin Rejuvenation

      Unlike synthetic fillers, Plinest works with your body’s natural processes, ensuring a subtle, natural enhancement without over-volumization.

      1. Deep Hydration

      Polynucleotides increase the skin’s ability to retain moisture, making it particularly beneficial for dry, dehydrated, or mature skin.

      1. Anti-Aging Properties

      By stimulating collagen and elastin production, Plinest helps smooth fine lines and wrinkles, restoring a youthful glow.

      1. Scar and Stretch Mark Improvement

      Plinest is widely used for treating acne scars, surgical scars, and stretch marks, improving overall skin texture and tone.

      1. Minimal Downtime

      Polynucleotide treatments involve quick, non-invasive injections with little to no downtime, making it an ideal lunchtime procedure.

      • Face – Enhances skin quality, reduces wrinkles, and boosts hydration.
      • Neck & Décolletage – Firms sagging skin and improves texture

      How Many Sessions Are Required?

      Most patients require 3-4 sessions spaced 2-4 weeks apart for optimal collagen stimulation and skin regeneration. Maintenance treatments every 6-12 months help prolong the results.

      • Week 1: Improved hydration and skin plumpness.
      • Week 4-6: Noticeable reduction in wrinkles and fine lines.
      • Week 12: Maximum collagen regeneration, leading to firmer, more youthful skin.

      I came to Jen as I had a few hormonal breakouts which is unusual for me. I also have oily skin. She recommended the Carbon Laser facial, it is the best skin treatment! I can see results already, it’s reduced some ageing spots, reduced the appearance of my pores, my skin feels brighter and looks plumper. I would definitely recommend Jen for any skincare concerns, she’s very knowledgeable and would find a suitable treatment catered to your skin type.

      I've had two PRP sessions with Jen as my main area of concern was my under eye area. In just two months, I've noticed a dramatic difference. The hyperpigmentation was cleared so much; I'm excited for my third session. I am petrified of needles and blood (and yet I'm doing PRP lol), and Jen calms me down before every session and is patient with me. She's super knowledgeable and honest with her advice, which I appreciate a ton. Her services are so well priced and I'm so grateful I found her insta!

      LASER HAIR REMOVAL Having never had any treatment like this before I was a bit nervous but I shouldn't have been. Jenny is so lovely and makes you relax. The leg hair removal has been a complete success after 6 sessions with the new laser machine. The procedure is quick and painless and the treatment room is comfortable, clean and cosy. I would definitely recommend Jenny and the treatment to anyone.

      I decided to have lip filler and booked in Skinique. On arrival I was greeted and made to feel very welcome. Jen was amazing and explained everything very clearly. During the filler process she made sure I was still comfortable. I had originally booked in for 0.5ml but after her recommendation I decided to go for a full 1ml, so glad I took Jens advice. I am so happy with my lips 💋. She also did me some boyox on my pimply chin at the same time and did me a fantastic discount xxxxxxx Totally recommend 👌 😊 xx
