In the world of aesthetics, there are more options than ever for achieving smoother, rejuvenated skin. From dermal fillers and skin boosters to cutting-edge treatments like polynucleotides, choosing the right solution can feel overwhelming.

Polynucleotide injections are gaining attention for their ability to regenerate and repair the skin at a cellular level, offering natural-looking, long-term results. But how do they compare to other popular treatments like fillers, Botox, or PRP? In this blog, we’ll explore what makes polynucleotides unique, their benefits, and how they stack up against other aesthetic treatments to help you make the right choice for your skin goals.

Are Polynucleotides A Filler?

No, polynucleotides are not considered dermal fillers. While both treatments are injectable, they work in different ways.

Polynucleotides are regenerative treatments that help stimulate collagen production, improve skin hydration, and promote tissue repair at a cellular level. They do not add volume like dermal fillers, which are designed to plump the skin and fill wrinkles or facial lines by physically injecting a substance, typically hyaluronic acid or similar materials.

Polynucleotides focus more on skin quality, enhancing texture, elasticity, and overall skin health, whereas fillers focus on volume restoration. Both can be used in combination for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

Is Lumi Eyes A Polynucleotide?

Yes, Lumi Eyes is a type of polynucleotide treatment, specifically formulated for the delicate under-eye area. It boosts collagen, hydrates skin, and reduces dark circles and fine lines for a refreshed, youthful look.

Lumi Eyes targets sensitive under-eye skin, improving texture and brightness while addressing thinness and puffiness. Other polynucleotide treatments rejuvenate skin across areas like cheeks, jawline, and neck, enhancing overall skin health. Both treatments, however, work on a cellular level to stimulate tissue repair and improve skin quality over time.

Can You Have Polynucleotides and Botox Together?

Yes, you can have polynucleotide injections and Botox together, as they work in different ways and can complement each other for enhanced results.

  • Botox targets muscle movement to smooth out dynamic wrinkles (such as frown lines or crow’s feet) by temporarily relaxing muscles.
  • Polynucleotides, on the other hand, work at a cellular level to stimulate collagen production and improve skin quality, hydration, and texture, without affecting the muscles.

Having both treatments can provide a multi-faceted approach to facial rejuvenation: Botox smooths out expression lines, while polynucleotides improve overall skin health and appearance.

Are Polynucleotides Salmon Sperm?

Yes, polynucleotide injections are often derived from salmon sperm DNA, or trout DNA. The DNA is processed and purified to create polynucleotides, which stimulate skin regeneration, boost hydration, and promote collagen production in aesthetic treatments. Chosen for its rich biological materials, fish DNA supports tissue repair and rejuvenation. Though it may sound unusual, it is biocompatible and proven safe for cosmetic use.
