What are exosomes & polynucleotides?

Polynucleotides are short DNA or RNA chains that have anti-inflammatory effects and activate cell regeneration. They improve skin elasticity, promote moisture retention and strengthen tissue – ideal for dry, tired or damaged skin.  
Exosomes are microscopically small messengers released by cells. They contain proteins, lipids and genetic signals that target specific locations to promote regeneration, collagen formation and wound healing. They are particularly effective after microneedling, laser treatment or chemical peels.  

Our practice combines these active ingredients in a targeted manner to achieve lasting results for a revitalised complexion – using gentle, highly effective and scientifically proven techniques. 

About the treatment

The combined use of polynucleotides and exosomes presents a particularly effective, non-invasive option for skin rejuvenation. It promotes cell communication, regeneration and elasticity – ideal for treating the early signs of ageing or to complement other treatments, such as microneedling or laser. 

 

Typical areas of application 

  • Tired, dull-looking skin
  • Dry or irritated skin
  • Sun-damaged skin
  • Acne scars
  • After laser treatment or peeling for regeneration 

 

When is it recommended? 

  • For skin lacking moisture and in need of regeneration
  • For the prevention and treatment of the first signs of ageing
  • To accelerate healing after intensive skin treatments
  • Suitable for all skin types
