Who doesn’t want fresh, radiant skin that looks healthy and youthful? But as we age, our skin loses moisture and elasticity. Fine lines begin to appear, the skin looks tired and less vital. Many people therefore desire a gentle skin rejuvenation that enhances their natural beauty — without artificial-looking changes.

Polynucleotides (PN) offer an innovative approach to natural skin rejuvenation and regeneration. The method, also known as the 'salmon sperm treatment,' is said to support the body's own regenerative processes and to improve skin quality in the long term.

At JUVENIS in Vienna, polynucleotide treatment is used to specifically improve skin quality — for a fresher complexion and a natural radiance.

What are Polynucleotides?

Polynucleotides are chains of nucleotides, the building blocks of DNA and RNA. For aesthetic treatments, highly purified polynucleotides are used, which are often derived from fish DNA. The unusual term 'salmon sperm treatment' refers to the origin of certain preparations. However, the substances used are medically processed and have no hormonal effect. Polynucleotides are used as so-called biostimulators. They are intended to support regenerative processes in the skin, improve moisture retention and positively influence skin texture. Unlike classic hyaluronic acid fillers, the focus here is not volume augmentation but the improvement of skin quality.

What are the benefits of a PN treatment?

Polynucleotides can be used for various skin concerns:

  • Fine lines and dehydration-related wrinkles: improvement of skin texture and hydration
  • Decreased elasticity: support for regenerative processes
  • Dull complexion: for a fresher, more even-looking skin tone
  • Enlarged pores: possible refinement of skin texture
  • Acne scars: adjunctive treatment to improve skin texture
  • Sensitive eye area: treatment of fine crepe-like wrinkles and tired-looking skin

The method is particularly appealing to people who want to improve their skin quality without altering their natural facial features. However, the scientific evidence regarding its effectiveness is still developing. Results can vary from person to person.

Which body regions can be treated?

At JUVENIS, polynucleotides can be used in various areas:

  • Face
  • Eye area
  • Neck
  • Décolleté
  • Hands

The delicate skin around the eyes is a common treatment area, as fine lines and loss of elasticity often become visible there early on.

How is a polynucleotide treatment carried out at JUVENIS?

Initially, an individualized medical consultation and skin analysis are performed. The Polynukleotid-Gel is then carefully introduced into the skin using fine needles or a suitable cannula. If desired, a numbing cream can be applied beforehand.

Key information at a glance:

  • Treatment duration: about 20–40 minutes
  • Recommended sessions: usually 2–3 treatments
  • Treatment interval: about 2–4 weeks
  • Downtime: mostly minimal
  • First visible changes: often after 1–2 weeks
  • Longevity: according to JUVENIS, often about 6–9 months, varies individually

After treatment, small, temporary swelling, redness, wheals, or bruising may occur. Less common complications are also possible with injection treatments.

Polynucleotides or hyaluron – what's the difference?

Although both procedures are used for skin rejuvenation, they have different aims.

  • Polynucleotides are intended to support the skin's natural regeneration processes and improve skin quality.
  • hyaluronic fillers are mainly used, on the other hand, to compensate for volume loss, soften wrinkles and shape facial contours.

Hyaluronic acid–based skin boosters, in turn, are primarily used to improve hydration. Which method is appropriate depends on the individual skin condition and the desired results.

Polynucleotides at JUVENIS in Vienna

At JUVENIS, tested formulations from renowned European manufacturers, including Croma, are used for PN treatment. Dermatological care is provided by experienced female and male physicians. Also, a.o. Univ.-Prof. Dr. Tamara Kopp, specialist in dermatology and venereology, provides information at JUVENIS on the possible applications of this regenerative treatment. Depending on skin condition, polynucleotides can also be combined with other aesthetic procedures such as microneedling, laser treatments, or hyaluronic acid.

Conclusion: Natural skin rejuvenation without additional volume augmentation

Polynucleotides offer an interesting approach for people who want to improve their skin quality and address the first signs of skin aging. The focus is on hydration, skin elasticity, and supporting natural regeneration processes – without targeted alteration of facial proportions.
