We are excited to introduce a new treatment to Blend, it is polynucleotides. This is a safe
and effective treatment for the face and body.
I have recently had this treatment on my neck, and I am thrilled with the results.
Polynucleotides are shortened DNA fractions that occur naturally in the body. While you
may not fully understand the complex nature of what polynucleotides are, one thing is
certain we are very excited about it so we will explain.
In recent years, regenerative medicine has become the focus of attention of aesthetic
practitioners who recognise that the wound healing and the ability to stimulate fibroblasts
can assist with many skin issues. There are over 90 clinical trials in the use of
polynucleotides and the evidence of their power is highly respected in both the medical
and aesthetic fields. Stimulating fibroblasts, polynucleotides boost collagen production,
improve elasticity and increase hydration. The antioxidant action enables fibroblast
stimulation, resulting in the reduction of cell damage caused by UV radiation or scars.
Fibroblasts are a type of cell in connective tissues that produce collagen and help maintain
the structural framework of tissues. What this means is that well-functioning fibroblasts can
enable younger looking skin.
Polynucleotides are important tools which are now available to regenerative medicine to
counteract the aging processes. They address skin hydration by regulating the maintenance
of water balance. Polynucleotides are generally extracted from fish in a cruelty-free process,
whereby they are highly purified. They are then incorporated into a polymerised injectable
gel that can be administered via needle or cannula. Polynucleotides are completely
absorbed by the body and have a half-life of approximately 3 hours which means there is
very little downtime. Side effects that can occur include redness and swelling, which usually
settles after 1–2 days.
This treatment can be used for several conditions such as general ageing, acne scarring and
rosacea. It is suitable for all age groups and is not only useful for the eyes and face but also
has well documented benefits for the neck, decolletage and knees.
Holistic skin revitalisation to combat general signs of ageing.

Rehydration for dull skin at any age
The before and after images below are following 3 treatments. It is recommended that 3
treatments are administered to obtain optimal results.
If this sounds like a treatment you would like to discuss in clinic, then make an appointment
to see Tracey. Key points you need to understand is that this is not a treatment which gives
an immediate result, it takes time and patience however, the end results are well worth the
wait. You will need 2-3 treatments, 4 weeks apart.
Noticeable results in 90 days
Maintenance every 9 months
This treatment is blowing us away with the results around the eye area. For those who do
not want to have tear trough filler or are not eligible this is a treatment you need to know
about!
