Polynucleotides (Skin Booster)

What it is

This treatment uses polynucleotide-based skin boosters (like “FillArt”) derived from salmon‑sperm DNA — aimed at deep skin regeneration, improving elasticity, hydration and overall skin health rather than instant volumizing. :contentReference[oaicite:10]{index=10}

Useful for skin rejuvenation in delicate areas — under‑eyes (fine lines & thinning), neck & décolletage (tightening), hands (elasticity and volume), post‑laser recovery, and general skin quality improvement. :contentReference[oaicite:12]{index=12}

Course & Maintenance

Pros' personal skin care tips to make everyday a good skin day

1. Use Sunscreen

One of the best skin care tip for maintaining youthful skin is to apply enough protective sunscreen layers to ensure full coverage and protection.

2. Eat a Skin-Saving Breakfast

The first meal of the day you may choose to include almonds. "They contain essential fatty acids, which help put the brakes on inflammation that accelerates fine lines, sagging, and blotchiness." Not feeling like a nut? Salmon, tuna, and halibut are good lunch/dinner sources.
If anyone has stress, it's doctors. High levels of tension can spike hormone production that leads to breakouts or aggravates conditions like psoriasis. Controlling stress keeps your skin calm-but that's easier said than done. Taking a 10-minute time-out to apply a face mask and relax on her bed works for magic.

4. Protect with Powder

Another important skin care tip is to remember that sunscreen stops working in less than 3 hours, so reapplication is key. For easy touch-ups, use powder sunscreen, It's light, so skincare stays intact.

Pair Your Potions A 'cross-training' regimen is the key to rapid rejuvenation. Some ingredients-like sunscreen and antioxidants in the morning, retinoids and peptides at night-work better as a team

Yoga moves "like Child's Pose, Downward-Facing Dog, and Sun Salutations improve circulation-the boost of oxygen is what gives skin that lovely yoga glow." Another reason to take to the mat: New research finds regular yoga practice may reduce the inflammation and stress that speed skin aging.

6. Cut Back on the Sweet Stuff

7. Tea Up

The practice of drinking green and black tea is essential in safeguarding ones skin. Research suggests that both types of tea contain protective compounds-like EGCG and theaflavins-that help prevent skin cancers and the breakdown of collagen, the cause of wrinkles.
