What are polynucleotides?
Polynucleotides are long chains of small building blocks of proteins called nucleotides that make up the hereditary material in all organisms. Polynucleotides aid in the repair and renewal of skin cells. They do this by stimulating the body’s natural healing processes. They promote cell growth, improve skin elasticity and stimulate the production of collagen and elastin. All of these properties result in firmer and younger-looking skin.

Treatments with polynucleotides
Polynucleotides are used in the cosmetic industry for their regenerative ability. At The Body Clinic, we use them in the following treatments:
- PhilArt: The PhilArt treatment is performed by a physician and is designed for those who want rejuvenated skin in a particular area of the face, for example. Cell regeneration causes the skin to have a smoother, more youthful appearance. In other areas of the body, this treatment can also be used, such as when someone has a scar.
- PhilArt Eyes: In the Philart Eyes treatment, the doctor focuses exclusively on the area around the eyes. A unique treatment because injectables cannot normally be placed so close around the eyes.
- Microneedling with polynucleotides: Microneedling with polynucleotides works a little differently than PhilArt treatments. In a microneedling treatment, the skin therapist minimally damages the skin with tiny needles. The skin heals these tiny wounds and makes extra collagen in the process. When you combine microneedling with polynucleotides, you can apply the polynucleotides in the superficial layer of the skin, which provides even better results. PhilArt treatments are injected deeper to get to the deeper layers of the skin and often focus on one area.
The action of polynucleotides
When polynucleotides are injected into the skin, as in various cosmetic and medical treatments, several effects can occur. First, they stimulate skin repair processes by promoting cell regeneration. Following that, they promote the production of collagen and elastin. Both ensure healthier-looking skin. Furthermore, they help the skin retain hydration, keeping the skin deeply and longer hydrated. Finally, they have an anti-inflammatory effect, soothing inflamed or irritated skin. In cases of rosacea, for example, it can have a soothing effect.
How are polynucleotides extracted?
At The Body Clinic, we use polynucleotides derived from natural sources, specifically freshwater fish. That is, the polynucleotides are extracted from the cells of freshwater fish in a lab. After thorough quality controls, the polynucleotides are 100% ready to be used. Please note that for people with fish allergies, this treatment is probably not suitable.
Safety of polynucleotides
The polynucleotides used at The Body Clinic are derived from freshwater fish, therefore for safety reasons we cannot administer it to people with fish allergies. For those with no fish allergy, it is a perfectly safe product to use. In addition, all of our doctors and skin therapists have many years of experience performing this type of treatment.
Polynucleotides in the hospital
Polynucleotides have been used in the medical field over the past three decades for a variety of reasons. It started with genetic testing, but now they are also used for gene therapy, stem cell therapy, burn wound healing, skin grafts and other personalized treatments, among others. The regenerative effect makes polynucleotides ideal for treatments where there is a need for new, healthy cells.

FAQ
Why is Kim Kardashian injecting salmon sperm into her face?
The “salmon sperm” Kim Kardashian said was injected into her face are probably polynucleotides. These polynucleotides help repair and renew skin cells. Polynucleotides have been used in medicine for years for wound and scar healing. Nowadays, it is also used to combat skin aging and improve skin condition.
Are polynucleotides good for older skin?
Yes, polynucleotides are effective for somewhat mature skin. Polynucleotides stimulate cell regeneration and the production of collagen, giving the skin a more youthful appearance. However, it is important to have an assessment made by a doctor or skin therapist as to whether the treatment delivers the desired results. You can do this at The Body Clinic through a free consultation.
Are polynucleotides good for young skin?
Yes, polynucleotides are a good option for younger skin. Because polynucleotides promote cell regeneration and collagen production, it is a good treatment to keep skin jeudy longer. Whether a polynucleotide treatment is right for you is best left to a no-obligation consultation with a doctor or skin therapist.
What polynucleotides treatment for young skin?
For young skin, we recommend microneedling with polynucleotides. Microneedling stimulates collagen and elastin production of the skin. Polynucleotides promote cell regeneration and also the collagen and elastin production of the skin. This combination results in youthful skin with a beautiful glow.
