The effects of Polynucleotide (PN) injections are generally temporary, and the results typically last around 6 to 12 months, depending on the area treated and the individual’s skin and body response.
Polynucleotides work by stimulating collagen production, improving skin hydration, and promoting cellular regeneration. Over time, as collagen and elastin fibers rebuild and strengthen the skin, the effects become more noticeable. However, as your body naturally breaks down the polynucleotides, the results will gradually fade.
How to Maintain Results
To maintain the rejuvenating effects of polynucleotide injections, repeated treatments may be required, typically every 6 to 12 months. Your practitioner may recommend a treatment schedule depending on your skin’s needs and your aesthetic goals.
Like other injectable treatments, the duration of the results can vary between individuals, influenced by factors such as:
- Skin condition: The more mature or damaged your skin, the longer it may take to see significant results.
- Frequency of treatments: Multiple sessions might enhance the overall effect and help it last longer.
- Lifestyle factors: Proper skincare, hydration, sun protection, and a healthy lifestyle can help prolong the effects.
If you decide to discontinue treatment, your skin may gradually return to its previous condition, but there are no sudden or dramatic changes.
