Introduction
Polynucleotides have revolutionised aesthetic medicine, offering natural, regenerative solutions for skin and hair rejuvenation. These biocompatible treatments, derived from DNA or RNA fragments, work by hydrating, repairing, and supporting tissue regeneration. By stimulating collagen production and improving skin elasticity, polynucleotides are an excellent alternative to traditional fillers and are suitable for various areas and concerns.

What Are Polynucleotides?

Polynucleotides are fragments of DNA or RNA that promote skin repair, hydration, and regeneration. By activating fibroblasts and supporting cellular regeneration, they help reduce fine lines, improve elasticity, and even stimulate hair growth.
