Polynucleotides are not toxin or filler, they are cutting edge, bio-stimulating injectables that are designed to boost the skin’s natural regenerative processes.

Polynucleotides are fragments of DNA extracted and purified from the sperm of fish, either Salmon or Trout.

Contrary to popular belief, this is an injectable treatment and NOT a facial (aka 'salmon sperm facial')!

The fragments of DNA, when injected work by stimulating the production of collagen and promoting the repair of skin tissues, resulting in a noticeable lifting and firming effect.

At Kirsty Broder Aesthetics the brand Dermafocus is preferred and products used are:

Plinest

Plinest Eye

Plinest Hair

Newest (containing hyaluronic acid).

Polynucleotides are commonly used to minimise the appearance of dark undereye circles, improve skin tone and texture, reduce wrinkles on the face, neck and decollete.

They are also highly effective for the prevention and restoration of thinning hair and are particularly helpful for women transitioning through menopause who want to keep a healthy head full of hair.

For comfort, topical anaesthetic will be applied prior to treatment.

A course of three treatments between 3-4 week intervals is recommended for optimal results (more for hair restoration) and top-up treatments are required every 3-months to maintain results.
