The beauty sector is full of aesthetic solutions, from invasive procedures to short term cover-ups – and everything in between. Being able to effectively compare different treatments is an important part of the client journey, utilising the expertise of professionals who can first identify your specific challenges and then recommend the right treatment to help.
Polynucleotide treatment is one of the more innovative solutions currently making waves in the sector, using naturally derived salmon DNA to ignite cell regeneration and boost the production of collagen. Filler, meanwhile, tackles surface level signs of aging like fine lines and wrinkles, relaxing the muscles and leaving a smoother complexion.
The Difference between Filler and Polynucleotides
The main difference between these two aesthetic treatment options is the way they facilitate smoother, younger skin. Fillers are injected into the skin, relying on a toxin which paralyses muscle movement – thereby smoothing the skin and reducing the look of lines.
Polynucleotide treatment, in contrast, is less invasive and facilities more natural results – by kickstarting the body’s own cell regeneration and production of collagen. Far from injecting a foreign and toxic substance into the skin, polynucleotide injectables are bio-compatible and wholly natural.
Another difference is the visual impact of results and their potency. Fillers freeze the facial muscles; polynucleotides improve hydration and stimulate collagen production. Thus, clients who opt for filler treatment will find their forehead and other targeted areas appear much smoother a short time after treatment, while polynucleotide clients experience a boost in volume and texture across targeted injection sites.
In short, the differences lie in the way treatment is carried out, and what the treatment does to the skin and its cells.
Which Treatment Do I Need?
Many aestheticians offer both polynucleotides and fillers and can talk you through the benefits of both.
Fillers tend to be recommended for those who want to reduce signs of aging quickly, while polynucleotide treatment is more of a long term investment into overall skin health and vitality.
Because the DNA extracted from salmon sperm is compatible with human biology, it’s widely accessible as a skincare solution and can be used by clients of all ages and walks of life.
A formal consultation with an aesthetician will connect your goals with the best treatment for you, considering cost as well as recovery times, longevity of results and more.
Is One Better Than the Other?
There is no single cure for all skin concerns and imperfections – with most clients layering different treatments to give their skin the boost of youth and life that it needs. Polynucleotide treatment is an innovative method which has the power to improve the body’s natural ability to heal and improve its own skin health. It doesn’t change what’s happening under the skin; it simply enhances it.
Filler, meanwhile, changes the structure under the skin and fills gaps of lost volume – making it an effective but very different option for clients.
Both are effective – with the best way to find your perfect match being a consultation with us.
