Polynucleotides are molecules composed of long chains of nucleotides. Nucleotides themselves consist of three components: a nitrogenous base (which can be adenine, guanine, cytosine, or thymine in DNA, or uracil in RNA), a pentose sugar (deoxyribose in DNA or ribose in RNA), and a phosphate group. When these nucleotides join together through phosphodiester bonds between the sugar of one nucleotide and the phosphate of the next, they form a polynucleotide chain.
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid) are examples of polynucleotides. DNA typically exists as a double helix, with two polynucleotide chains running antiparallel to each other and held together by hydrogen bonds between complementary base pairs (adenine with thymine, and cytosine with guanine). RNA, on the other hand, is usually single-stranded and plays various roles in gene expression and protein synthesis within the cell.
Polynucleotides serve as the basis for storing and transmitting genetic information in living organisms. The sequence of nucleotides along the polynucleotide chain determines the genetic code, which directs the synthesis of proteins and ultimately controls the functions and characteristics of living organisms.
Skin boosters are often delivered through a series of micro-injections into the superficial or middle layers of the skin. The treatment is commonly performed on the face, neck, décolletage, and hands. The effects are usually gradual, with improvements in skin texture and hydration becoming more noticeable over several weeks.
It’s important to consult with a qualified dermatologist or skincare professional to determine if skin boosters are suitable for your skin concerns and to discuss the best approach for your individual needs.
