The world of aesthetic medicine is changing rapidly with new methods to make us look younger and more radiant. Polynucleotide injections , also dubbed “salmon sperm injections” following Kim Kardashian’s revelation, are attracting a lot of attention. Celebrities such as Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Aniston have praised this treatment. Jennifer Aniston said in an interview that she was surprised by the process, and Kim Kardashian mentioned it in her reality show, which further increased interest in the benefits of these injections.

This treatment is already available at Doctor Contour Clinic , and in this blog post, I, Dr. Kim Detollenaere, will explain exactly what polynucleotide injections are.

What are polynucleotides?

Polynucleotides are small fragments of DNA that play a crucial role in cell regeneration and repair. They consist of long chains of nucleotides, the building blocks of DNA. In skin treatments, polynucleotides stimulate the body’s natural repair processes, which promotes the growth of healthy skin cells and collagen.

Why Salmon Sperm?

The term “salmon sperm injections” comes from the source of these polynucleotides. Salmon sperm is rich in DNA, making it an excellent source of these molecules. The DNA is purified and used to enhance the skin’s natural healing and rejuvenation processes. This method utilizes the natural properties of salmon DNA to improve skin texture and appearance without synthetic fillers.

How Do Polynucleotide Injections Work?

The treatment includes:

• Injection: Polynucleotide extracts are injected into specific areas of the skin that need rejuvenation.
• Skin regeneration: The DNA molecules stimulate the natural regeneration process of the skin, which promotes the production of new, healthy skin cells.
• Collagen production: By stimulating collagen production, the treatment helps improve the elasticity and firmness of the skin, reducing fine lines and wrinkles.

Benefits of Polynucleotide Injections

• Improved Hydration: Polynucleotides help retain moisture in the skin, leading to a well-hydrated and plump appearance.
• Cell regeneration: The treatment promotes the repair and regeneration of skin cells, resulting in a more youthful appearance.
• Reduction of Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Regular treatments can help smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, making the skin look younger.
• Improved Under-Eye Area: The treatment is particularly effective for the delicate under-eye area, reducing puffiness, fine lines, swelling, and dark circles.
• Anti-inflammatory Properties: Polynucleotides have anti-inflammatory effects that can help reduce redness and rosacea, resulting in a more even skin tone.

Why is it popular?

Polynucleotide injections are popular because they offer a natural and safe way to rejuvenate the skin. Unlike fillers, which add volume by injecting substances into the skin, polynucleotides stimulate the body’s natural processes. This makes it a safer and more sustainable alternative for long-lasting skin health.

Considerations and Precautions

As with any cosmetic procedure, it is essential to consult a qualified professional before undergoing polynucleotide injections. Here are a few things to consider:

• Allergic Reactions: People with allergies to fish should avoid this treatment, as the polynucleotides are derived from salmon DNA and can cause an allergic reaction. These reactions, although rare, can be severe. Always report any allergies to your doctor before the procedure.
• Professional Application: To comply with Belgian legislation and ensure safety, this procedure may only be performed by a recognized physician. This ensures that the treatment is carried out correctly and safely, minimizing the risk of complications.
• Treatment sessions: A series of 2-3 sessions is usually recommended, spaced 2-3 weeks apart, to achieve optimal results.

Conclusion

Polynucleotide injections are gaining popularity in the beauty industry due to their natural and effective approach to skin rejuvenation. By harnessing the power of DNA from salmon sperm, this treatment offers a promising solution for those seeking to improve their skin and achieve a youthful appearance. As with all aesthetic treatments, it is important to seek professional advice and ensure that the procedure is suitable for your skin type and needs.
