What are Polynucleotides?
The basic unit of a nucleotide is formed by a 5-carbon ring ribose (deoxyribose) and aldose, and a nitrogen base attached to the C1 position on aldose. (An aldose is monosaccharide – a simple sugar). The nucleotides are formed by ester compounds with inorganic phosphate to C5 on aldose (the 5th carbon in the ring) Nucleotides are the monomeric units of nucleic acids.Different nucleotides react with carbohydrates, phosphate and nitrogen to give the nucleic acids, which is the large molecules called biopolymers.
​
The most common nucleotides are DNA and RNA.
From Wiki 'In molecular biology, a polynucleotide (from Ancient Greek πολυς (polys) 'many') is a biopolymer composed of nucleotide monomers that are covalently bonded in a chain.[1] DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid) are examples of polynucleotides with distinct biological functions. DNA consists of two chains of polynucleotides, with each chain in the form of a helix (like a spiral staircase).'
How can I train with Polynucleotides
There are a variety of training courses on Polynucleotides available across the UK and internationally, delivered by professional training providers and academies. UK training venues are often located in major cities such as London, Leeds, Newcastle, and Edinburgh.
Please note: Polynucleotide treatments should only be performed by qualified medical doctors, dentists, or nurses. Practitioners must be registered with the GMC, NMC, GDC, or an equivalent professional body in their country of practice.

Why are Polynucleotides becoming a popular aesthetic treatment?
Polynucleotides have become popular treatments due to their amazing rejuvenate properties. They have been shown to improve skin tone and elasticity whilst reducing fine lines, wrinkles and generally improving the quality of the skin. They provide a deeply moisturising effect and target free radicals to restore skin tone. This has led to many medical professions utilising polynucleotides in their clinical practices.

What can Polynucleotides be used for?
One of the most common questions after 'what are polynucleotides' is what 'what can polynucleotides be used for?'
Polynucleotides can be used to treat a whole host of different treatment indications. Their rejuvenate properties mean they have become popular as a 'tweakment' to boost or enhance certain areas of the face, neck and hair. We're talking about a significant boost in skin tone and elasticity.
Another popular treatment which has seen growth in polynucleotide requests is the under-eye area, or namely to treat dark circles.
What other concerns can be treated with Polynucleotides
Polynucleotides can also used to treatment various concerns including;
Dark circles
Stretch marks
Atrophic scarring
Acne scarring
Deep wrinkles and lines
Skin sagging
Alopecia
Are the treatment results instant and how long do they last?
Clients of polynucleotide treatments will see an immediate result after one treatment. It’s important to note that all individuals require different levels of treatment but typically you will need 2 to 3 sessions, which would be 2 weeks apart with most individuals looking for a further top up after 6-9 months.
