Salmon sperm facial? Why it’s becoming clinics most popular treatment

Jennifer Aniston revealed she got the salmon sperm treatment AKA polynucleotides

‘Salmon sperm facial’ did I hear that correctly?

Yes you did. And let me tell you why…

The salmon sperm facial A.K.A polynucleotides is fast becoming the most popular aesthetics treatment for celebrities and others alike looking to turn back the clock on their wrinkles, dark under eyes and ageing skin.

So what on earth is it?

Polynucleotides are ultra-purified, natural DNA fractions derived from fish (salmon or trout) and have been used in medicine with an excellent track record, such as for the regeneration of cartilage, for over 35 years.

Once filtered and ultra-purified, natural DNA fractions initiate your body’s natural fibroblast production, resulting in increased collagen (47% in 23 days) and a thicker, healthier epidermis (52% in 23 days). Thanks to polynucleotides’ antioxidant properties, inflammation is reduced and youthful volume and hydration is restored.

They are injected into the skin to dramatically reverse signs of ageing, exert anti-inflammatory properties and boost collagen.

For the science lovers out there, studies have shown results of a 47% increase in collagen at 23 days!

How do they do that?

Polynucleotides act on the DNA within your skin telling it regenerate.

This is what we call a ‘bio-remodeller’ and they have the power to actually REVERSE ageing within your cells.

As collagen levels rapidly rise, younger healthier skin is revealed in just a few weeks.

So what results do we see with these polynucleotides?

When skin regenerates, you get new healthier skin cells growing in replacement of old worn out ones. And that means a HUGE improvement in the health of your skin and how it looks, much like it did when you were younger:

·      Lines & wrinkles are less visible and smoother

·      Skin becomes firmer

·      Elasticity of the skin is improved

·      Pigmentation improves

·      Skin feels more hydrated

·      Acne scars are improved

·      Inflammation is reduced

Where can we use this treatment?

The beauty of polynucleotides is they can literally be used anywhere you have skin.

 Some of our favourite uses for them in clinic include:

• Treating the under eye area.

The delicate under eye area is notoriously difficult to treat but concerns like dark circles, under eye hollows and fine lines are extremely common. Polynucleotides offer an incredible treatment to target all of these concerns and work amazingly as an alternative to tear trough filler (which we know many people are not great candidates for or are keen to avoid).

• Microneedling + polynucelotides to supercharge your collagen.

Another incredible treatment for maximising your collagen and getting glowing skin is a course of microneedling with a course of polynucleotides. Both treatments work wonders as stand alone treatments for treating acne scars, improving skin quality, texture and boosting collagen. But when done in conjunction, you get a collagen boost and maximised results.

How many treatments do you need?

For best results, typically 3 treatment sessions is recommended 2-3 weeks apart.

How long does it take to see results?

Most people start seing results around 3-5 weeks after treatment but best results is at 3+ months as your skin continues to regenerate.

Are there different types of polynucelotides?

Polynucletotides are highly filtered and purified DNA fragments. There are a number of different brands offering this product (Ameela, Nucleofill, Plinest) but they are essentially the same.

There is one type which can be used anywhere on the face & body at 20 mg per ml (except the eye area) and then one made specifically for the eye area at 7.5 mg per ml as the skin in this area is highly delicate.
