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 that aim to counteract skin aging. However, if you're worried, there isn't actually salmon sperm in this injection.
What makes salmon DNA so special?
The idea of using DNA from salmon reproductive cells for skin rejuvenation originated from a groundbreaking study. This study showed that the skin retains moisture better when treated with DNA from salmon reproductive cells. The research revealed that skin elasticity improved and collagen production was stimulated. These special substances in the 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 applied under the name polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN). To produce PDRN, DNA fragments are extracted from the sperm cells of rainbow trout or chum salmon. Sperm cells are an ideal source of polynucleotides because their DNA is exceptionally pure, without contamination from peptides, proteins, or fats. This pure DNA can then be used to revitalize and rejuvenate the skin.
An innovative treatment with results
This scientific process forms the basis for an innovative treatment that is gaining increasing popularity. It's 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 to fade scars and blemishes. The result is fresher and younger-looking skin. Polynucleotides have even been used in hospitals for a long time to promote wound healing.
Polynucleotide treatment
At The Body Clinic, we already offer 2 treatments with polynucleotides, namely Philart Eyes & Philart Face. Philart Eyes is an anti-aging treatment that improves skin quality around the eyes. What makes this treatment unique is that never before could an injectable be placed so close to 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 various areas such as the cheeks, forehead, neck, and décolleté. The injection stimulates the natural production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid.
