Can Polynucleotides Go Wrong? And Could They Cause a Vascular Occlusion?

Polynucleotides Treatment, West Malling, Kent

Polynucleotides are the latest buzzword in aesthetics. Touted for their regenerative properties and skin-rejuvenating effects, these innovative treatments promise a range of benefits from improved skin texture to enhanced wound healing. In this blog, we’ll explore what polynucleotide injectables are, how they work, their benefits, and the question on everyone’s lips – whether they can go wrong.

What are polynucleotides?

Polynucleotides (PN) are naturally occurring biopolymers composed of nucleotides, which are the building blocks of DNA and RNA. In the context of injectables, polynucleotides are derived from trout or salmon DNA due to its high compatibility with human tissues. These injectables are designed to promote cellular regeneration and repair by providing essential building blocks and activating cellular processes.

How do polynucleotides work?

The primary mechanism of action of polynucleotide injectables involves stimulating the body’s natural healing processes. When injected into the skin, polynucleotides provide the necessary components for DNA synthesis, aiding in cellular repair and regeneration. They attract and retain water molecules, leading to improved skin hydration and elasticity. By stimulating fibroblasts, polynucleotides enhance the production of collagen, the protein responsible for skin firmness and structure. Additionally, polynucleotides possess anti-inflammatory properties, which can help treat inflammatory skin disorders like rosacea, and promote healing.

What can they treat?

Polynucleotide injectables are versatile and can be used to address various skin concerns. For skin rejuvenation, they improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, and enhance overall skin quality by promoting collagen synthesis and hydration. In wound healing, polynucleotides accelerate tissue repair, making them beneficial for post-surgical recovery and scar treatment. Emerging studies support the use of polynucleotides for stimulating hair growth by revitalising hair follicles. Conditions like acne scars, stretch marks, and hyperpigmentation can also benefit from the regenerative properties of polynucleotide injectables.

Can polynucleotides go wrong?

While polynucleotide injectables are generally considered safe and well-tolerated, there are potential risks and side effects, as with any medical treatment. Common side effects include redness, swelling, and bruising at the injection site, which are usually temporary and typically resolve within a few days. Although rare, some individuals may experience allergic reactions to the components of the injectable. As with any procedure involving needles, there is a risk of infection if proper skin cleansing techniques are not followed, so do your research when choosing a practitioner, ensuring that they are an experienced healthcare professional. Generally, most people are suitable candidates for polynucleotides since they are entirely natural and do not carry the risk of puffiness, unlike fillers which can cause such issues for those prone to water retention.

Can polynucleotides cause vascular occlusion?

Polynucleotide injectables have a low likelihood of causing vascular occlusion when administered correctly. These injectables are designed to repair tissue, stimulate cell growth, and improve skin elasticity by leveraging the regenerative properties of polynucleotides.

However, the risk of vascular occlusion arises primarily from injection techniques rather than the polynucleotides themselves. If the injectable material inadvertently enters a blood vessel, it can lead to occlusion, causing necrosis of the affected tissues. Therefore, it is crucial that such procedures are performed by skilled practitioners with a thorough understanding of vascular anatomy to minimise the risk of complications.

Polynucleotide injectables represent an exciting advancement in aesthetic and regenerative medicine, offering a natural and effective solution for various skin and tissue concerns.

Their ability to enhance cellular regeneration, improve hydration, and stimulate collagen production makes them a valuable tool for skin rejuvenation and healing. However, as with any medical treatment, it is essential to consult with a qualified healthcare professional to assess suitability and understand the potential risks involved.
