This week it’s been all about Polynucleotides. So lets debunk the myths and learn what these clever little molecules can do for us.
Polynucleotides work wonders for the face, under-eyes, neck, décolletage, arms and hands

Polynucleotides are natural molecules derived from salmon or trout DNA which is the closest DNA chain to humans. They’re biocompatible, meaning your body recognises and accepts them without triggering any allergic reactions. These intelligent molecules act as bio-stimulators that encourage your cells to regenerate and repair themselves. They help our cells to act young again.
Unlike fillers or Anti-wrinkle toxins, they don’t fill or freeze the skin. Instead, they rejuvenate it naturally from within giving you a fresher more natural result.
These regenerative treatments are well known for repairing thin, damaged or crepey skin or targeting specific areas like under-eye dark circles and hollowness They improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, improve scaring, freshen & tighten skin.

When injected or microneedled into the skin, polynucleotides promote:
•Collagen and elastin production.
•Cell regeneration to repair damaged tissue.
•Hydration by attracting and retaining water molecules.
•Improved elasticity and firmness.

•How They Work: They stimulate cellular repair and regeneration, helping skin cells act younger.
•Main Benefits: They improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, reduce crepeyness, reduce dark circles/hollowness under the eyes, and tighten skin.
•Areas Treated: Suitable for the face, under-eyes, neck, décolletage, arms and hands.
•Composition: They are purified DNA chains that are highly biocompatible, meaning they don't trigger immune responses.

What to Expect During the Process
•Sessions: Usually a series of 3-4 treatments scheduled 4 weeks apart.
•Immediately after treatment: Small bumps at injection sites or redness after microneedling which may last up to 36 hours.
•Downtime: Minimal; minor swelling or bruising may occur for 1-3 days.
•Long-term Effects: Results typically last 9 to 12 months, with improvements continuing to show months after the final session.

Best Practices for Results
•Before: Avoid anti-inflammatory medication (like Vitamin E) prior to treatment.
•After: Keep the area clean, avoid heavy makeup for 24-48 hours, and skip tanning, swimming, intense exercise or saunas for a few days.

Let’s have a chat about microneedling. I`ve had so many inquiries and questions over the past week about this popular treatment. It’s such a versatile treatment that can be used on face, neck, under eyes, arms, stomach, scalp literally anywhere. The key to a successful treatment is using a targeted medical grade serum or PRP/PRF that targets your specific concern. It’s a suitable treatment for any one no matter age or skin type. This treatment offers a wide range of benefits for skin & hair rejuvenation, addressing so many concerns.

So, what is microneedling? Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses tiny, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This process, also known as collagen induction therapy, triggers your body's natural healing response to produce more collagen and elastin, leading to smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin, thicker, healthier hair. Add a targeted medical grade serum or plasma produced by your own body and boom! The results are off the chart!

Microneedling is a safe and effective treatment suitable for almost all skin types, including darker skin tones, as it does not use heat and carries a lower risk of post-inflammatory pigmentation compared to some laser treatments.

On its own or combined with an ongoing treatment plan here are the key benefits of professional microneedling

•Reduces fine lines and wrinkles: By stimulating collagen and elastin production, the skin becomes firmer and more elastic, which helps to smooth out fine lines, crow's feet, and deep wrinkles.

•Treats scars: It is highly effective in reducing the appearance of various scars, including atrophic acne scars, surgical scars, and burn scars, by breaking down scar tissue and encouraging the growth of new, healthy skin cells

•Improves skin texture and tone: The treatment leads to a more even complexion and smoother skin texture by promoting cell turnover and regeneration.

•Minimizes pore size: Microneedling stimulates collagen around the pores, causing them to plump and tighten, which makes them appear smaller.

•Reverses sun damage and hyperpigmentation: It can help to break up melanin deposits and encourage new, unpigmented skin cells to surface, which can fade sun spots, age spots, pregnancy mask and melasma.

•Enhances product absorption: The micro-channels created during the procedure allow topical skincare products, such as serums and moisturizers, to pe*****te the skin more deeply and work more effectively.

•Increases skin elasticity: The boost in collagen and elastin helps restore the skin's natural "bounce," making loose or sagging skin appear tighter and more youthful.

•Treats stretch marks: It can be used on various body parts to help fade stretch marks by remodelling the damaged skin tissue.

•Promotes hair growth: When used in combination with topical treatments like minoxidil or combined with PRP/PRF treatments microneedling stimulates hair growth and renewal.

What to Expect During Treatment
•Preparation: A topical numbing cream can be applied to ensure the procedure is virtually painless however 9 out of 10 people find the treatment comfortable enough without this.
•The Procedure: A professional microneedling pen-like device is used to create the punctures or micro channels. The actual needling typically takes about 30 minutes.
•Sensation: Most people describe it as a light "prickling" or "scratching" sensation.

Recovery and Aftercare
•Whilst down time is minimal your skin will likely look and feel like a mild sunburn for 24 to 48 hours. Temporary redness and tightness that usually subsides within 24 hours
•HYDRATE!!

Key Restrictions (0-72 Hours & Beyond)
•Sun Exposure & Heat: Avoid direct sunlight for at least 48 hours. Avoid saunas, steam rooms, hot showers, and hot yoga for 72 hours to prevent inflammation.
•Active Skincare: Do not use actives like retinols, vitamin C, or alcohol-based toners for 7 days.
•Makeup: Avoid applying makeup for at least 12 to 72 hours to prevent pore clogging and irritation.
•Sweat and Swimming: Avoid intense workouts and swimming for 72 hours to avoid bacterial infection.
•Skin Manipulation: Do not pick, peel, or scratch your skin, do not use exfoliating sponges.
•Skincare Products: Avoid harsh cleansers and scented lotions. Use only gentle, recommended serums (e.g., hyaluronic acid).
•Treatments: Wait at least 14 days before having any other facial treatments.
Specific "Don’ts!
•Don't use SPF with heavy chemicals in the first few days; opt for mineral-based (zinc/titanium dioxide).
•Don't sleep on a dirty pillowcase.
•Don't apply harsh products if the skin is still red and sensitive.
•Don't wash your face with anything other than lukewarm water for the first 6-8 hours.
•Don't take anti-inflammatory medications like ibuprofen for at least 48 hours, as they may interfere with the natural inflammatory process that rejuvenates the skin

•Corrects a mild to moderate drooping nasal tip by adding a lift.
•Straightens a slightly crooked or bent nose.
•Adds definition or height to the nose.

I’ve had a lot of questions about anti-wrinkle injectables this week so thought I would do a little post about them.

Anti-wrinkle injections, are a popular, minimally invasive treatment that temporarily relax muscles, giving a much more refreshed, smoother appearance. These injections block nerve signals to muscles, preventing them from contracting, which softens existing wrinkles and prevents new ones from forming.

When administered by a trained experienced professional the results should be very natural giving you a refreshed, just had the best night’s sleep appearance. Smoother & more youthful & never over done! Anyone over 18 can be suitable for this treatment. A detailed medical assessment & consultation is always done BEFORE treatment & if suitable for treatment your prescription is created and your treatment can be started.

Most common areas treated are
• Forehead Lines: Smooths horizontal lines across the forehead.
• Frown Lines (Glabellar Lines): Targets the "11" lines between the eyebrows.
• Crow’s Feet: Reduces lines at the outer corners of the eyes.
• Masseter Muscle (Jawline Slimming): Slims the face and treats teeth grinding.
• Bunny Lines: Smooths wrinkles on the bridge of the nose.
• Dimpled Chin: Relaxes the mentalis muscle to smooth a "peach pit" chin.
• Gummy Smile: Reduces excessive gum display when smiling.
• Neck Bands (Platysmal Bands): Softens vertical bands to reduce a saggy appearance.
• Brow Lift: Lifts the eyebrows by relaxing muscles that pull them down.

Medical and Other Areas
• Hyperhidrosis: Treats excessive sweating in underarms, hands, and feet.
• Migraine/Tension: Injected into the forehead, temples, and neck for chronic pain

Treatments are quick and relatively pain free, typically lasting 3-6 months, and results become visible within 2–14 days. Usually a two-step treatment, your initial treatment followed by a tweakment a few weeks later.

Is there any special pre or post steps to follow if your thinking of having treatment? Yes, there is! To get the best from your tox treatment it’s important to follow these guidelines.

Pre Treatment
• Avoid Alcohol
• Avoid sun burn

First 4 Hours
• Stay Upright: Do not lie down or bend forward excessively to prevent the Botox from migrating.
• Engage Muscles: Gently exercise the treated muscles (e.g., frowning, raising eyebrows) for about an hour to aid absorption.
• Do Not Touch: Avoid rubbing or massaging the injection sites

First 24 Hours
• No Intense Exercise: Avoid gym workouts, running, or heavy lifting.
• Avoid Alcohol: Refrain from drinking alcohol, as it increases bruising risk.
• Avoid Heat: Stay away from saunas, hot tubs, steam rooms, and direct sun.
• No Makeup: Avoid applying makeup, creams, or facial treatments to the area.
• Avoid Pressure: Do not wear tight hats or goggles and avoid sleeping on your face.

24 Hours – 2 Weeks
• Avoid Facials: No chemical peels, microneedling, or facial massages for at least 7-14 days.
• Wait for Results: Botox takes 2–14 days to become fully effective.
• Review Appointment: Book a follow-up in 2-3 weeks

Feel free to get in touch with me if you have any questions. I always offer a completely free no obligation consultation so we can discuss your treatment goals. I have availability days, evenings & weekends.
