PhilArt: Polynucleotides

Collagen and elastin production for facial rejuvenation

What are polynucleotides?

Polynucleotide treatments have become incredibly popular for their effectiveness in facial rejuvenation and minimal downtime. Polynucleotides, natural DNA polymers, are advanced bio-stimulating agents that promote fibroblast activity, collagen and elastin production, to help improve the texture and tone of the skin, and to help promote overall skin rejuvenation. The procedure involves microinjections delivered into targeted areas, allowing for precise and effective treatment.

We use three revolutionary polynucleotide formulations by Croma at the Institute of Dermatologists: PhilArt (high concentration polynucleotides); PhilArt Next, a combination treatment of polynucleotides and hyaluronic acid; and PhilArt Eye, a concentrated polynucleotide treatment which focuses on rejuvenation around the eyes.

What is PhilArt?

PhilArt contains a high concentration of long-chain polynucleotides (40mg/2ml), which play a crucial role in stimulating fibroblast activity. Fibroblasts are essential cells in the skin responsible for the production of collagen and elastin, proteins that provide structural support and elasticity. By promoting fibroblast activity, PhilArt helps boost the skin's natural ability to produce collagen and elastin, leading to firmer and more youthful-looking skin. The skin's elasticity, firmness, and tone are restored and improved, leading to an overall enhancement in skin appearance, while improving hydration and reducing inflammation.

  • With their anti-inflammatory properties, polynucleotides can reduce redness and swelling.

PhilArt Eye

PhilArt Eye is a cutting-edge biorevitalizing treatment designed to address various aesthetic concerns around the delicate eye area. It harnesses the power of polynucleotides, natural polymers that play a critical role in cellular repair and regeneration to increase collagen production, elasticity, texture and skin hydration.

Benefits

  • By promoting cell regeneration, polynucleotides revitalize the skin around the eyes, improving the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and dark circles
  • Polynucleotides stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, strengthening skin elasticity, which can help reduce the appearance of eye bags and droopy eyelids
  • Polynucleotides provide intense and long-lasting hydration to the skin, making it look fresher and more radiant. Signs of fatigue are reduced, and the vitality of the eye area is restored

What is PhilArt Next?

PhilArt Next is an advanced injectable skin booster designed to rejuvenate the skin by harnessing the combined power of hyaluronic acid and polynucleotides (20mg/2ml), using these dual modes of action for the ultimate in facial rejuvenation. This innovative treatment aims to significantly enhance overall skin health and appearance.

How long does it take to see results?

While some immediate improvement may be noticed, the full effects of PhilArt, PhilArt Eye and PhilArtNext become more apparent over time. Generally, patients see significant results within 2 to 4 weeks after the treatment due to the plumping and hydrating effect of the hyaluronic acid, whilst the bio-stimulating polynucleotides work to rejuvenate the skin from within by stimulating collagen production over 3-6 months.

How many treatments do I need?

The number of treatments required varies based on individual skin conditions and desired outcomes. On average, a series of 3 sessions, spaced about 2 to 4 weeks apart, is recommended for optimal results. Maintenance treatments may be suggested every 6 to 12 months to sustain the benefits.

How long do the effects of PhilArt, PhilArt Next or PhilArt Eye last?

What is the downtime for treatment?

There is minimal downtime from the PhilArt Next treatment and you can return to your daily activities from the next day. For the initial 48 hours post-treatment, it's advisable to steer clear of heat exposure, including hot baths, showers, and steam rooms. Heat can exacerbate swelling and redness in the treated area, so opt for lukewarm water instead. 

Opt for gentle skincare products formulated for sensitive or post-treatment skin. Avoid using harsh exfoliants, acids, or retinoids until your skin has fully recovered.
