Polynucleotide

What is Polynucleotides?

Polynucleotide is ‘DNA’fragments extracted from salmon sperm. ‘Polynucleotides work on the fibroblast cells (your very own collagen factories) and when injected into your skin your collagen increases. When collagen increases, fine lines and wrinkles reduce and the skin tightens and thickens,’ reveals Ruebsamen.

Unlike filler for example, Ruebsamen adds that ‘once the polynucleotides have stimulated the fibroblast cells, they disappear and there is no [residue] left within the skin.’
