Polynucleotides have become one of the more talked-about categories in aesthetic medicine. If you're considering adding Luxia Polynucleotides to your treatment menu, here's a grounded overview of what the category is and how to approach it responsibly.
What are polynucleotides?
Polynucleotides are chains of nucleotides — the building blocks that make up DNA. In aesthetic products they are typically highly purified fragments, often derived from fish sources, processed to a high standard of purity. In aesthetic medicine they are used as bio-stimulatory injectable treatments, with the aim of supporting overall skin quality rather than adding volume in the way a dermal filler does.
It's worth being precise in how this is described to patients: the category is associated with skin-quality and conditioning goals, and practitioners should rely on the manufacturer's documentation and the wider clinical literature rather than marketing shorthand when explaining outcomes.
How they differ from dermal fillers and skin boosters
-
Dermal fillers add structure and volume.
-
Skin boosters (often hyaluronic-acid based) focus on hydration and skin quality.
-
Polynucleotides are a distinct bio-stimulatory category with their own protocols.
These are not interchangeable, and treatment planning should reflect the specific product and its instructions.
