Check out the top 10 useful facts about PolyPhil for a successful treatment:

1. What is a PolyPhil treatment?

A PolyPhil treatment is an injectable skin rejuvenation technique that uses polynucleotides (natural DNA fragments).

Possible side effects include mild swelling or bruising after injections.

It is often used for fine lines, dull skin, loss of elasticity, and to improve scars or skin laxity.

A cosmetic doctor injects the gel superficially into the skin with a fine needle. The treatment usually takes about 30 minutes.

4. How many treatments are needed?

A course of 2–4 treatments is often recommended, depending on skin condition and desired results.

5. How quickly do you see results from PolyPhil?

The skin may look fresher immediately after a PolyPhil treatment, but the full result usually becomes visible after a few weeks.

6. What are the side effects?

Possible side effects include redness, swelling, or small bruises around the injection sites, which usually disappear within a few days.

7. How long does the effect last?

The effect can last 6 to 12 months, depending on the client’s skin and lifestyle.

8. What is the difference between PolyPhil and other injectables such as fillers?

PolyPhil focuses on skin rejuvenation and improvement, while fillers are often used to add volume.
