How polynucleotides technology can be used in skin rejuvenation
Have you heard about Juvenus? It is an injectable skin booster for the face and body that helps restructure and rejuvenate the skin based on PDRN technology.
Juvenus contains natural HMW polynucleodtides in a sterile and reabsorbable gel. The polynucleotides attract water molecules and serve as a free radical scavenger, creating an ideal environment for fibroblast growth.
What are polynucleotides?
“Polynucleotide gels are not ‘fillers’ and are completely absorbed, with a half-life of approximately three hours”, explains Dr Agnieszka Surowiecka MD, PhD. “This means that polynucleotides present the broadest spectrum of action through hydration, antioxidation and stimulation of fibroblasts. They increase the ability of skin fibroblasts to synthesize collagen, elastin and endogenous hyaluronic acid by ensuring an optimal extracellular environment [1]. Furthermore, they stimulate the natural mechanisms of tissue reconstruction and repair [2,3] and have anti-inflammatory properties [10]. Polynucleotides have been used successfully in the treatment of chronic wounds, including those associated with vascular ulceration or diabetes [3]".
