Do you know the difference between polynucleotides and dermal fillers?
While it’s exciting to have new treatments to choose from, it can be difficult to know what’s going to have the most effective results for your aesthetic concerns.
Dermal fillers are highly regarded as one of the most reliable injectable procedures available, but now there’s lots of talk about how brilliant polynucleotides are So you may be wondering if this is something you should opt for instead.
Here at Libbie Wallace Skin Clinic, we’re all about giving you honest and accurate advice. Let us break down the difference between polynucleotides and dermal fillers to help you understand what’s right for you.
What are polynucleotides?
Polynucleotides are made of DNA fractions, nucleotides, that can regenerate aged and damaged skin cells to improve collagen production and enhance overall skin quality, including pigmentation, redness and scarring.
What are dermal fillers?
While there are dermal fillers that can stimulate collagen production, the most commonly used contain hyaluronic acid – a substance that attracts water which can help to hydrate, lift, volumise and contour the skin.
How are they different to one another?
Polynucleotides are a fantastic option if you want to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, pigmentation, redness or scarring. Hyaluronic acid based dermal fillers, on the other hand, are an excellent choice if you want to lift sagging skin and add more youthful definition to your face.
Can I have treatment with both?
By now you will have realised that polynucleotides and hyaluronic acid dermal fillers are unique products that offer varied and multiple benefits for several aesthetic concerns.
This means they can be used individually if, for example, it’s only your skin quality causing you bother, or in combination if you also want to address shape and volume changes.
After a thorough discussion and assessment of your goals, Libbie will guide you to the most effective treatment approach. Book a consultation today!
