Polynucleotides encourage your cells to generate substances that diminish with age.
Polynucleotides enhance collagen and elastin production by stimulating fibroblast cells, improve tissue regeneration, and restore skin tone and elasticity. Besides their bio-remodeling benefits, they also offer antioxidant and hydrating effects, leading to skin that appears and feels more vibrant and healthy.
They are considered ‘Regenerative Medicine’ rather than a skin booster. They don’t provide instant volume or visible results, but instead offer a variety of long-term biological benefits that develop gradually over time. In addition to the benefits mentioned above, they can also help reduce scars, pigmentation and inflammation.
