Dr Selina Clinics is one of the best clinics in London providing polynucleotides.

Is your skin feeling dehydrated, tight, or just not quite as smooth as it used to be? It’s often the case that as we age, our skin becomes less hydrated and loses its radiant glow. Polynucleotides are a fantastic solution to loads of  dry skin concerns, and they’re my most popular treatment right now at Dr Selina Clinics in South Woodford, East London. Click here to book a consultation with me in my East London clinic to discuss how polynucleotides can help with your skin concerns. I’m just a 20 minute tube journey from Central London.

TL;DR:

• Dehydrated skin shows visible signs, like dullness and fine lines

• Polynucleotides offer deep, long-lasting hydration

• When assessing for dry skin, look out for tightness, flaking, and increased sensitivity

• Polynucleotides can revitalise the appearance of your skin

Once injected, powerful polynucleotide molecules work deep within your skin to improve levels of moisture and overall texture of your skin. But the big question is - how do you know if polynucleotides are the right treatment for your skin?

By the end of this article you should have all the information you need to understand if your skin is dehydrated, and if polynucleotides could be worth having a consultation for. 

~ 9 Signs Of Dry Skin ~

1. Tight, uncomfortable skin

Does the skin on your face ever feel tight, especially after cleansing? This sensation can be uncomfortable, and is one of the first signs of dehydration. When your skin lacks moisture, it loses its flexibility and can feel constricted.

2. Increased visibility of fine lines

We all get wrinkles as we age, but dry skin can make fine lines appear even more pronounced. If you've noticed that your crow's feet or forehead lines seem more visible lately, it could be a cry for hydration.

3. Dull complexion that has lost its radiant glow

Properly hydrated skin has a natural glow about it. If your complexion looks dull or lacklustre, it might be time for a polynucleotide boost. These treatments can help restore your skin's radiance by smoothing the skin and improving its ability to reflect light.

4. Flaking or peeling

Dry, flaky patches are a clear indication that your skin is in need of moisture. While you may be tempted to exfoliate all the dry skin away, what your skin really needs is deep hydration to restore its natural balance.

5. Increased sensitivity

Have you noticed that your skin seems more sensitive to products? Dehydrated skin often becomes more reactive because its protective barrier is compromised. Polynucleotides can help strengthen this barrier, which reduces sensitivity over time.

6. Rough texture

Healthy, hydrated skin should feel smooth to the touch. If your skin feels rough or uneven, it's likely lacking in moisture. Polynucleotides can help smooth out your skin's texture by promoting cell turnover and hydration.

7. Increased oil production

Counterintuitively, dehydrated skin can sometimes produce more oil. This is your skin's attempt to compensate for the lack of moisture. If you've noticed sudden changes in your skin's oiliness, dehydration could be the culprit.

8. Slow healing

Properly hydrated skin heals faster. If you've noticed that minor blemishes or cuts are taking longer to heal, it could be a sign that your skin needs a hydration boost. Polynucleotides can help speed up the healing process by promoting cell regeneration.

9. Dark under-eye circles

While dark circles can have many causes, dehydration can make them appear more pronounced. The delicate skin under your eyes is particularly susceptible to dehydration, and polynucleotide treatments can help plump and hydrate this area.

So How Can Polynucleotides Help?

Now that you're aware of these 9 signs, you could be wondering how exactly polynucleotide treatments can help fix them? 

Polynucleotides are long chains of nucleotides - the building blocks of DNA and RNA. When administered to the skin, they have numerous beneficial effects:

• Deep hydration: Polynucleotides can hold up to 1,000 times their weight in water, providing intense, long-lasting hydration.

• Improved skin barrier: They help strengthen the skin's natural protective barrier, reducing moisture loss and increasing resilience.

• Collagen stimulation: Polynucleotides promote collagen production, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and improve skin texture.

• Cell regeneration: These molecules support the skin's natural renewal process, which smooths the skin and leads to a more radiant complexion.

• Antioxidant properties: Polynucleotides help protect the skin from environmental stressors, preventing premature ageing.

Incorporating Polynucleotide Treatments into Your Skincare Routine

If you've identified several of the signs I’ve covered, it could be time to consider polynucleotides. Here are some ways to incorporate into your skincare routine:

1. Professional treatments: At Dr Selina Clinics, I offer polynucleotide injections to my patients, and they’re currently my most popular treatment! Polynucleotides provide deep, targeted hydration. The treatment is particularly effective for addressing specific numerous skin concerns, and can be really effectively combined with other treatments such as botox and filler. 

2. At-home products: Look for serums, moisturisers, or masks containing polynucleotides. While not as potent as professional treatments, these can still provide hydration benefits when used consistently.

3. Combination approach: For best results, combine medically administered polynucleotide injections with at-home care. During our initial consultation I can recommend the best approach for your specific needs.

Remember, everyone's skin is unique, and what works for one person may not work for another. It's always best to have a consultation with a medical professional before starting any new treatment regimen.
