Polynucleotide treatment is a **regenerative injectable therapy** made from purified DNA fragments, usually sourced from salmon or trout. Sounds odd at first, I know. The idea is that these DNA chains act like biological messengers. Once injected into the skin, they bind water, reduce inflammation, and signal fibroblasts to repair tissue and improve skin quality over time. Its not filler. It doesnt push or lift. Its more like giving the skin better instructions and raw materials so it can heal itself. Brands youll hear a lot in the UK are **Plinest**, **PhilArt**, and **Nucleofill**.
