Polynucleotide injection—a fancy name for DNA from fish semen

Is this injection made from…fish semen? Please stay here. Your eyes aren’t playing tricks on you. Polynucleotides are derived from fish DNA. However, they are not simply derived from fish DNA. It’s called milt, and it’s actually fish semen, Dr. Kim says. (In this case, it’s trout or salmon semen.)
According to research, Polynucleotides support tissue regeneration and stimulate collagen production, which may be beneficial in wound healing. For skin, “early in-vivo studies show improved skin tone, fine lines, skin elasticity, and hydration,” says Dr. Rohrich. (a study,It was published in the magazine dermatological treatment, found that patients in their 30s had improved pores and skin thickness, and patients in their 40s had improved skin tone, wrinkles, and sagging. )
According to Dr. Kim, polynucleotide injections come in different brand names, such as Plureal Silk and Nucleophil, and also in different formats. There is a liquid version that can be used as a skin booster, and a version in which polynucleotides are mixed with hyaluronic acid, and this may be the most promising version. “Hyaluronic acid has [almost] The effects are immediate, and then the polynucleotides work their magic under the skin, stimulating regeneration over the next few weeks,” explains Dr. Kim.
Polynucleotides are a type of biostimulant and are currently a hot topic, Dr. Rohrich says. “Biostimulants seek to change the physiological composition of a patient’s skin and deep facial structures, which is involved in facial rejuvenation.” Stimulates new collagen and helps regulate fibroblasts (connective tissue builders) “The idea is that you’ll get longer-lasting results that are facilitated by your own body.”
But given the unconventional formulation, it could take a very long time for the FDA to approve something like this in the United States, if at all. “We don’t know when the FDA will approve compounds derived from milt for Americans to use in humans,” Dr. Kim says. And for now, U.S. injectors aren’t all that enthusiastic about it anyway. “We won’t consider using polynucleotides until we have more long-term safety and outcome data,” Dr. Rohrich says.
