Polynucleotides are a new treatment used in aesthetic medicine to help regenerate tissues. They are natural, highly purified DNA molecules extracted from salmon. When used for hair restoration, they are prepared in a specific formulation designed to be injected into the scalp.
How Do They Work?
The polynucleotide solution is administered through a series of small injections directly into the areas of the scalp where hair is thinning. This targeted approach works by:
- Stimulating Hair Follicles: It encourages the hair follicles, which may be dormant or producing fine, miniaturised hairs, to enter a growth phase.
- Improving Scalp Health: It enhances blood circulation in the scalp, delivering more oxygen and nutrients to the hair follicles.
- Reducing Inflammation: It has an anti-inflammatory effect, which can be beneficial as inflammation can contribute to some types of hair loss.
This process helps to improve hair density and the quality of the hair shaft, making it thicker and stronger. It is particularly useful for treating smaller, stubborn areas of hair loss that may not be responding as well to other treatments.
