About this treatment
PN stands for polynucleotides. Formulations and intended treatment areas differ between products. Ask which product is being proposed, where it would be used and what evidence supports that use.
At your appointment
Your skin
Explain the skin changes you would like to discuss. There is no need to choose a brand before an assessment.
Ingredients and use
Check the ingredients, source and proposed area. Share allergy information during the clinical consultation.
Risks and alternatives
Discuss the evidence and its limits, individual risks, cost and follow-up before deciding. You can also choose to wait or have no treatment.
Risks & considerations
- Evidence for one product or use cannot automatically be applied to every PN product.
- Suitability must be checked for the actual formulation and proposed procedure.
- A product's popularity or country of origin does not establish its suitability for an individual.
Common questions
Are all PN products the same?
No. Check the product, ingredients and intended use. Products within the same category are not necessarily interchangeable.
Can I choose a product for the eye area?
An individual assessment is needed. An online description cannot establish whether a product or procedure suits that area or your circumstances.
What results can I expect?
Ask about the evidence and its limits for the exact product and use. A specific result, course length or duration cannot be promised here.
Your suitability needs to be assessed by a qualified practitioner. Ask about expected benefits, limitations, risks and alternatives.
