Polynucleotides, also called PN or PDRN are an injectable, skin-boosting, regenerative treatment that has gained popularity in recent years. Although, they have been used in medicine since the 1980’s to treat joint issues.
Polynucleotides are made up of chains of nucleotides, which are the building blocks of DNA and RNA. When used in aesthetics, polynucleotides are typically derived from the sperm of salmon or trout, and are then purified and sterilised for medical use. They are then injected into the skin to provide instant hydration and long term bio-remodelling.
Polynucleotides have several skin-boosting benefits for the skin, including improving skin texture and elasticity and reducing fine lines and wrinkles. They do this by providing instant hydration whilst also promoting fibroblast proliferation and collagen synthesis. They are also thought to have anti-inflammatory and wound-healing properties, which can help to reduce redness, swelling, and other signs of skin damage.

Profhilo® Structura
Developed by the experts behind the highly sought-after Profhilo skin treatment, Profhilo Structura is an innovative injectable therapy designed to target and rejuvenate your natural facial fat pads. The result is a lifted and naturally contoured facial profile that appears revitalized without any artificial enhancement.
It’s important to distinguish Profhilo Structura from dermal fillers, skin boosters, or the original Profhilo treatment; it occupies a unique category of advanced therapy. Unlike traditional skin boosters or the original Profhilo, Profhilo Structura specifically focuses on the mid-face superficial fat, encouraging regeneration. This is crucial, as the aging process leads to the shrinkage and descent of these fat pads, resulting in hollowness, sagging skin, jowls, and diminished facial definition.
In contrast to dermal fillers, which replace lost fat with a synthetic hyaluronic acid gel, Profhilo Structura promotes the restoration of your natural fat pads rather than merely replicating them.
