In recent years, a myriad of innovations has graced the field of aesthetic medicine, each promising to deliver the elusive fountain of youth right to our doorstep. One such breakthrough that has sparked interest amongst aesthetics healthcare professionals alike is the use of polynucleotides. At Butterfly Aesthetics, based in Wakefield, we pride ourselves on staying at the forefront of skincare and aesthetics advancements, and we’re excited to bring you into the world of polynucleotides. This detailed guide explores the science, benefits, and potential of polynucleotides.


What are Polynucleotides?

Polynucleotides are essentially long chains of nucleotides – the building blocks of DNA. They have been used in various fields of medicine for their regenerative properties, including wound healing and tissue repair. Over the past few years, their application has extended to aesthetics, particularly for their profound effects on skin rejuvenation.


The Science Behind Polynucleotides 

Polynucleotides exert their skin-enhancing effects in two significant ways. 

Firstly, due to their large molecular size and ability to hold water, they provide intense hydration to the skin, improving its texture and elasticity.


Secondly, polynucleotides trigger the body’s natural regenerative processes. When injected into the skin, they stimulate the fibroblast cells, leading to the production of collagen and elastin – two proteins vital for skin health. The result is firmer, more youthful skin with diminished lines and wrinkles.


Benefits of Polynucleotides

Polynucleotides unique properties offer an array of benefits that address common skin concerns. These include:

Intense Hydration. Polynucleotides provide deep hydration, thereby enhancing the skins texture and reducing the appearance of fine lines.

Improved Elasticity. By stimulating collagen and elastin production, polynucleotides improve the skins elasticity, making it appear firmer and more youthful. Not only do they stimulate collagen, they produce elastin, giving the tissues a firmer texture. 

Skin Repair. The regenerative properties of polynucleotides aid in skin repair, making them ideal for treating scars, including acne scars.

Skin Rejuvenation.  Polynucleotides promote cellular regeneration, resulting in overall skin rejuvenation and a more radiant complexion.


Polynucleotide Treatments 

At Butterfly Aesthetics, we believe in harnessing the latest innovations to deliver optimal skin health.


Claire, our clinic owner and medical injector is proficient in administering polynucleotide treatments, offering a tailored approach that takes into consideration individual skin concerns and goals.


Our polynucleotide treatments involve injecting the polynucleotide solution into the target areas.  This can include the face, neck, eyes, decolletage, knees, abdomen and thighs. 


The treatment is relatively quick and involves minimal discomfort. Moreover, it is generally well-tolerated, with any side effects being temporary and typically mild, such as slight redness or swelling at the injection sites.


Polynucleotides offer a revolutionary approach to skin health, bringing together intense hydration and natural regeneration for truly transformative results. At Butterfly Aesthetics, we’re thrilled to offer this cutting-edge treatment, helping our patients to unlock their skin’s full potential. 


Reach out to us today to discover more about how polynucleotide treatments can revitalise your skin either as a standalone treatment or in combination with other treatments to reveal a more youthful, vibrant you!
