The impact of polynucleotide injections on hair restoration

Hair loss is a common concern that affects millions of people worldwide. With advances in the field of hair restoration, various treatments have emerged to address hair thinning, including the innovative approach of polynucleotide injections.

What are polynucleotide injections?

Polynucleotide injections are a medical treatment involving the administration of polynucleotides, which are natural polymers composed of long chains of nucleotide monomers – the basic building blocks of DNA and RNA.

Polynucleotide injections are used in various medical and cosmetic procedures. In the field of hair restoration, these injections are used to stimulate tissue repair and cellular regeneration, helping support overall hair health.

How do polynucleotide injections work for hair restoration?

Polynucleotide injections work by enhancing the scalp’s microenvironment, which in turn promotes hair follicle health and stimulates hair growth.

The primary mechanism is cellular regeneration, where polynucleotides promote the proliferation of fibroblasts, essential for tissue repair and regeneration. This leads to improved scalp health and a conducive environment for hair growth.

Additionally, polynucleotides possess anti-inflammatory properties, helping reduce scalp inflammation that can inhibit hair growth. They also improve blood circulation by enhancing microcirculation in the scalp, ensuring that hair follicles receive an adequate supply of nutrients and oxygen. Furthermore, the stimulation of collagen production strengthens the scalp’s structure, helping provide better support for hair follicles.

All these combined effects contribute to thicker, healthier hair and reduced hair thinning.

Who is a good candidate for polynucleotide injections?

Polynucleotide injections are suitable for:

• People with mild to moderate hair thinning, early signs of hair loss, or patchy areas of hair loss.
• People seeking preventative measures to maintain or improve their hair and scalp health to prevent future hair loss.

Before beginning treatment, consulting with a specialist is crucial to determine if polynucleotide injections are suitable based on your medical history and specific hair loss condition. Candidates for polynucleotide injections must have a healthy scalp, without severe conditions or infections.

Can polynucleotide injections be combined with other hair restoration treatments?

Yes, polynucleotide injections can be effectively combined with other hair restoration treatments to enhance results. Some common combinations include:

• PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy: Combining PRP with polynucleotide injections can enhance regenerative effects since both treatments stimulate cellular repair and growth.
• Microneedling: Microneedling creates micro-injuries in the scalp, allowing better absorption of polynucleotides and enhancing their effectiveness.
• Topical treatments: Using medically prescribed topical treatments in conjunction with polynucleotide injections can help enhance the process of hair growth.

How soon can I expect to see results?

The timeline for visible results can vary based on factors such as the extent of hair loss, the individual response to treatment, and the combination of treatments used.

Generally, people can expect initial improvements within a few weeks of treatment, with early signs such as reduced hair shedding and improved scalp health. More noticeable changes in hair density and thickness typically occur after several months, as hair growth cycles progress, often taking three to six months to see substantial results.

A typical treatment regimen of polynucleotide injections involves multiple sessions, usually spaced a few weeks apart, with an average of 3 to 6 sessions needed to achieve optimal results. Maintenance treatments may also be recommended after to sustain and enhance the results over time.
