Kim Kardashian has once again put herself in the spotlight, this time by undergoing a striking beauty treatment: having polynucleotides, extracted from salmon sperm, injected. In the latest season of Keeping up with the Kardashians, she shared this treatment with her mother Kris Jenner. Although it sounds like science fiction, it is based on scientific principles. These focus on combating skin ageing. However, in case you are worried, there is no actual salmon sperm in this injection.
What makes salmon DNA so special?
The idea of using DNA from the reproductive cells of a salmon for skin rejuvenation was born out of a pioneering study.
This study showed that skin retained moisture better when treated with DNA from the reproductive cells of a salmon. The study found that skin elasticity improved and collagen production was boosted. These special substances in DNA, known as polynucleotides, contain essential nutrients that stimulate the production of fibroblasts. Fibroblasts are the cells responsible for producing collagen, the protein that keeps our skin firm and elastic.
How exactly do polynucleotides work?
In cosmetic medicine, these polynucleotides are often used under the name polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN). To produce PDRN, DNA fragments are extracted from the sperm cells of rainbow trout or chum salmon. Seed cells are an ideal source of polynucleotides because the DNA in them is exceptionally pure, without contamination by peptides, proteins or fats. This pure DNA can then be used to revitalise and rejuvenate the skin.
An innovative treatment with results
This scientific process is the basis for an innovative treatment that is gaining popularity. It is no surprise that even a beauty icon like Kim Kardashian was tempted to try it. Polynucleotide treatment is particularly effective in reducing fine lines. It can also help fade scars and blemishes. The result is fresher and younger-looking skin. Even in hospitals, Polynucleotides have long been used to promote wound healing.
Treatments with polynucleotides
At The Body Clinic, we offer 2 treatments with polynucleotides, namely Philart Eyes & Philart Face. Philart Eyes is an anti-ageing treatment that improves skin quality around the eyes. What makes this treatment unique is that never before could an injectable be placed so close around the eyes. The active ingredient of the Philart Eyes injectable is polynucleotides. Philart Face also contains polynucleotides and improves the overall skin quality of the face. This versatile treatment can be applied to different areas such as the cheeks, forehead, neck and décolletage. The injection stimulates the natural production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid.
