Plenhyage XL (Polynucleotide) Treatment

WHAT IS PLENHYAGE XL?

Plenhyage XL Medium and Plenhyage XL Strong are a type of skin injectable treatment, comprising of biological molecules (polynucleotides) that can help to activate tired, aged and damaged cells to act younger and get to work again, promoting skin repair, boosting collagen production and hydrating your skin. It can also help to improve hair growth for thinning hair.

If you are looking for a treatment that can help repair your skin damage and improve the visual signs of ageing as well as skin damage and hair loss, then Plenhyage XL polynucleotide treatment is the great choice (subject to a full medical consultation).

WHO SHOULD USE PLENHYAGE XL?

Plenhyage is an effective treatment that has a good safety profile and is suitable for most people. It treats a multitude of concerns. It is also a good option for people who are not a suitable candidate for a tear trough (under-eye) dermal filler treatment. If you have fine lines and wrinkles, loss of elasticity, red, sensitive skin, rosacea, scarring then you could be a candidate for Plenhyage XL. Treatment areas include face, neck, décolleté, upper arms, knees, acne, stretch marks, scars and the scalp.

HOW DOES PLENHYAGE WORK?

Plenhyage XL is classed as a regenerative treatment and is part of an increasing trend in treatments to be regenerating rather than just filling like traditional dermal fillers. The polynucleotides derived from salmon (highly purified DNA with 0% immune side-effects) activates fibroblast and stem cells to regenerate your own skin cells. You will generally require 2-4 treatments about 3-4 weeks apart and the results are usually seen at 90 days post-treatment but can see seen quicker.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF PLENHYAGE?

There are many benefits to using Plenhyage, including:

• Excellent safety record
• Highly tolerated
• Results can be seen as early as 20 days post treatment
• Good longevity
• Only requires topical anaesthesia to aid comfort
• Treatment generally takes only 30 minutes

ARE THERE CLINICAL RESULTS?

According to the manufacturing laboratory in Italy, a clinical study involving 15 patients highlighted a 115% increase in hydration levels and a 38%% improvement in elasticity after 20 weeks of a Plenhyage XL treatment. Another clinical study involving 36, divided into controlled and experimental groups with a skin wound depth of 12mm showed an increased epidermal thickness by more than 50% and a 47% boost in collagen after 23 days.

WHAT IS REGENERATIVE MEDICINE?

Regenerative medicine restores structure and function of damaged tissue using biology and stem cell research. It boosts the body's repair system and cell regeneration.
