Polynucleotides (“Fish‑DNA Skin Boosters”)


What They Are


Therapeutic injections made from purified polynucleotides—long DNA fragments derived (ethically!) from salmon or trout sperm. These aren’t sperm cells per se, but regenerative biomolecules that serve as biostimulators in the skin. 


Benefits & How They Work


  • Stimulate natural collagen and elastin production for structural rejuvenation.

  • Deep hydration by attracting water molecules and enhancing skin moisture retention. 

  • Strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant action—great for calming redness and restoring irritated skin.

  • Speed up healing, minimise fine lines, scars.

  • Effects are natural, subtle, and build gradually over weeks.

  • Results can last up to about 6 months, sometimes longer with good aftercare. 


Ideal For


  • Delicate regions like under-eye skin, where fillers are too bulky. 

  • Clients who want cellular-level skin repair—the “internal glow-up”.

  • Those with sensitive or inflamed skin needing gentle regeneration.

  • Maintenance treatments aimed at prevention and slow, steady improvement.


Profhilo (Pure Hyaluronic Acid Remodeling)


What It Is


A NAHYCO®-technology hyaluronic acid (HA) injectable gel designed to bio-remodel skin rather than volumise. It uses balanced low‑ and high‑molecular-weight HA to gradually hydrate and tighten tissues. 


Benefits & How It Works


  • Deep hydration and radiance via HA binding water in the dermis. 

  • Stimulates collagen and elastin, delivering skin tightening and tone improvement. 

  • Improves texture, elasticity, firmness.

  • Highly versatile—face, neck, hands, décolletage, even knees or arms. 

  • Treatment is quick, using just 5 injection points on your face(BAP technique), with low downtime. 

  • Results often visible quite quickly, with peak effect around 2–3 months after second session.


Ideal For


  • Clients with emerging skin laxity, loss of firmness, or dull complexion.

  • Those wanting a hydra-glow + gentle lift, without changing facial shape.

  • Preventive maintenance for younger-looking skin in late 20s–30s.

  • People keen on a minimally invasive, highly hydrating option with efficiency.

When to Use Which—Clinic Insights

  • For rejuvenation, repair, and under‑eye renewal: lead with Polynucleotides as the go‑to. It's a match for renewal without fillers.

  • For tightening, hydration, and overall skin glow: Profhilo shines—especially for clients wanting a quick transformation with a hydration boost.

  • Combo approach: Ideal patients can benefit from Profhilo first (to hydrate and firm), then Polynucleotides (to regenerate deeper layers), or vice versa depending on priority.

  • Layering with treatments: Use alongside microneedling, or as a bridge between neuromodulators/fillers.


"Think of Polynucleotides as your skin’s personal coach motivating your skin to behave youthfully again. Meanwhile, Profhilo is more like a deep-soak spa experience for your dermis—hydrating, firming, and making everything bounce with joy"

Whether your skin wants to get its swagger back or just sip up some serious glow, we’ve got the custom approach to deliver what your skin actually needs—no fishy gimmicks (although the DNA origin story is pretty wild).


In Summary


  • Polynucleotides: love your skin from the inside—regeneration, repair, calm and collagen.

  • Profhilo: give your skin a skin‑tightening, hydrating revolution with a glowing surface finish.


Clinic tips:


  • Always consult and tailor: we assess skin condition, expectations, sensitivity, and desired outcome.

  • Discuss treatment plans: one or two sessions spaced a few weeks apart, and maintenance reshuffles ~6‑month mark.

  • Pair with skincare that supports collagen and hydration to prolong benefits.
