Polynucleotides

As we age, our skin starts to show the tell-tale signs: age spots, wrinkles, sagginess and generally looking less youthful.

Polynucleotides (Poly-nu-cleo-tides) are the latest treatment to reverse AND prevent the signs of ageing on the skin. If your skin is needing deep hydration, or you are wanting more youthful looking, radiant skin, and to reverse the signs of ageing - Polynucleotides are for you!

Polynucleotides are very different to dermal fillers as they work within the skin to boost cells and regenerate the skin's structure. Dermal fillers work by restoring volume under the skin, whereas Polynucleotides do not add any volume to the face, but they stimulate the body's own cell regeneration process to make skin more supple, bouncy and radiant.

Polynucleotides have been used for many years in regenerative medicine and have consistently demonstrated safe and predictable results in clinical trials. When injected (with a tiny needle) just under the surface of the skin, their action increases skin firmness, reduces wrinkles, improves the skin surface tone and evenness, and gives the skin a glow.

Polynucleotides are most often used to treat the following areas:

Under the eyes - to treat dark circles, puffiness, hollow looking eyes and wrinkled/thin skin.
The face - to improve overall skin appearance, reduce fine lines, reduce acne scarring and age spots, to reduce the appearance of sun spots.
The neck and/or decolletage - to tighten the skin, to repair sun damage on the chest, to reduce skin sagging and reduce necklace lines on the neck.
On the backs of hands - to make skin more supple and look more youthful.
On the scalp - to reduce hair loss and promote hair regrowth.

A course of 2-3 treatments is recommended initially, spaced 2-3 weeks apart. Followed by a single treatment every 2-4 months should you wish to maintain your results. For more information, or to find out if this treatment is suitable for you, why not book in for a free consultation?

What is Botox?

‘Botulinum toxin A’ (commonly referred to as Botox) is a naturally occurring protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium Botulinum. In a purified form, as is the case with many medications such as Penicillin for example, Botulinum toxin is a very safe, effective treatment. It is not only used in cosmetic clinics, but also for a number of medical conditions, including migraine and excessive sweating. Licensed brands of botulinum toxin A include, Botox®,Azzalure®, Bocouture®, Xeomin®, and Dysport®. All types of Botulinum Toxin are prescription only medicines (POMs) and should only be prescribed by doctors, dentists and nurses with the prescribing qualification, following a face to face assessment and consultation.
How does Botox reduce the wrinkles?

Botox causes muscles to relax, by blocking the transmission of chemical messages which tell the muscle to contract. Without these messages, the muscle stays in a relaxed state until the ‘messengers’ recover. As the muscle is relaxed, the skin above it becomes smoother. The muscle recovery takes approximately 8 to 12 weeks on average, which is when you start to see movement returning. The aim of this treatment is to reduce the movement of certain muscles causing expression lines in the skin. It may not cause the lines themselves to disappear completely, this will depend upon the quality of your skin. Deep lines may take time to be reduced over a course of treatments. The objective of the wrinkle relaxing treatment is to improve the appearance of the lines, not necessarily completely freeze the muscle. If we can achieve animprovement in the line’s appearance without complete paralysis of the muscle then you benefit from continued use of subtle facial expression, which gives a much more natural looking result.
Does Botox hurt?

At DermaLuxe Aesthetics, we use the smallest needles available that are safe to use with Botox.The smaller (and thinner) the needle, the more comfortable the treatment is. As a very fine needle is used the treatment is very well tolerated with no need for anaesthetic. Most people say it just feels like a little pinch in the skin.
Are there any risks or side effects?

As with all injectable treatments, there is a small risk of bruising, swelling, and redness at injection sites, which resolves quickly. Other rare, temporary side effects include, but are not limited to; allergic reaction, asymmetry of expression, drooping of the eyebrow or upper eyelid, headache, sensation of tightness or heaviness. Again these are very uncommon if you are being treated by a qualified medical professional, and are expected to resolve spontaneously within weeks.Your practitioner will provide aftercare advice designed to minimise risk of adverse effects and ensure you get the best results from your treatment. Caution - If you are planning to attend an important event such as a wedding or special occasion, and if any adverse event such as bruising or a drooping eyebrow would be unacceptable to you, please consider booking an earlier appointment date.
