‘Polynucleotides (PDRN’s) are an injectable under the ‘Regenerative Medicine’ category. Meaning the injectable is not the treatment but contains substances and information that encourages the body to make the change. As a result, (PDRN’s) yield far more natural results and carry a lot less risk compared to other injectables on the market. They are as close to natural as possible and benefits such as improved skin texture, improved skin discolouration and small increases in volume and tightness especially under the eyes.
Fat pads can slip causing bags under the eyes from weakened skin. (PDRN’s) in this area can helps the skin to strengthen.
This treatment can be used in the face, neck, decolletage, upper arms, hands, and knees, and can also be used in combination with skin boosters very effectively.
Plinest is a type of skin injectable made up of polynucleotides, (natural DNA fractions) that aims to help repair tissue by stimulating fibroblasts, encouraging cell turnover, improving elasticity, boosts collagen production and hydrates the skin. The process has been developed through stem cell research. It wakes up tired and aging and damaged cells and makes them act like younger cells. The source comes from trout. The DNA is extracted and then highly purified for ultimate sterilisation and what remains is pure polynucleotides without peptides, proteins, or lipids. This ultimate sterilisation makes it safe to be given to people with fish allergy.
Plinest
Plinest can be used for acne scarring, hyperpigmentation, and rosacea as well as a general regenerative treatment for the face, neck, decolletage, inner arms, thighs, and knees.

What age can you have anti wrinkle injections?The Law requires you to be 18 years old. However, in this clinic we would advise that it is not indicated in someone so young. Early 30’s or a little earlier for preventative treatment could be considered following a thorough consultation in clinic. BDD (Body Dysmorphic Disorder) is a condition we are very aware of and if this is suspected we would not treat and would refer you to your GP (with your consent) to get the specialist help required for your wellbeing.
-
How long does it take to start working?It takes about 3-5 days. Adjustments can be made at 2-3 weeks post treatment. After 4 weeks the effect will gradually wear off. The effect typically lasts up to 4 months. We don’t re inject under 12 weeks.
-
I am over 65 in age can I still have Anti Wrinkle injections?The simple answer is yes, but it is not licensed for over 65’s and it will only be effective in dynamic wrinkles. Static lines will remain, so you need to be realistic about your expectations. Your practitioner will guide you, as there may be more relevant treatments eg skin boosters to improve your complexion.
-
Does it ever stop working?In rare cases you can develop resistance, in which case the medication can be changed to a different brand. We, at Glow Aesthetics by Dora will always use a product that contains less protein as our first line of treatment, therefore less chance of reaction or resistance.
-
Does exercise affect the length of effectiveness?Yes,strenuous exercise is known to shorten the effectiveness of botulin toxin A
-
How can I make my treatment last longer?Shade your face from the sun, don’t exercise immediately after treatment, avoid the sauna and hot baths/showers be gentle with your face for 48 hrs post treatment, choose your injector wisely. Take a zinc supplement, studies have demonstrated that this may help.
