Polynucleotide Treatments
Polynucleotides are popular and highly effective. This is an excellent treatment method for various skin concerns. The treatment is suitable for the entire face, neck and décolleté, or as a targeted treatment for areas such as the skin around the eyes.
Polynucleotide treatments are excellent treatments before certain plastic surgery procedures, as they help improve skin quality, moisture and collagen production. Polynucleotides stimulate cellular repair, support natural healing and improve the structure of the skin, which can be beneficial when preparing for procedures.
The timing of polynucleotide treatments must be carefully considered in relation to a surgical procedure. We recommend a series of treatments before surgery to ensure sufficient collagen remodeling and skin recovery.
The effectiveness of polynucleotides may vary individually, so it is important to have realistic expectations. Polynucleotide treatments do not replace plastic surgery, but they can be a valuable addition to improving skin quality and preparing for surgery.
We were the first in Finland to use polynucleotides by the pharmaceutical company Croma-Pharma, a global operator in the medical aesthetics market. This allows us to ensure high-quality and safe polynucleotide treatment for our clients.
Polynucleotides are derived from salmon DNA. The product has optimal compatibility with humans, meaning that it is biocompatible, which minimizes the risk of side effects or allergic reactions. The product is so pure that no immunological or allergic reactions have been observed.
SkinPen Micro Needling
SkinPen Micro needling has been accepted as an official treatment for scars, skin pigment changes, enlarged pores, and more. SkinPen is the world’s first and only medical microneedling device.
The effectiveness of SkinPen microneedling is based on activating the skin’s own renewal process. In the treatment, hundreds of microscopic micro channels are created into the skin, stimulating skin renewal and the production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. This leads to more youthful, firmer, smoother skin. With treatment, the skin grows stronger and fine lines become smoother. The treatment improves the structure, fluid balance, and texture, bringing life into it. We don’t only decrease signs of aging with SkinPen but prevent them as well.
Treatment and Recovery
We always recommend a series of treatments with SkinPen; we recommend having 3 treatments, each one month apart. The skin is typically red after the treatment. The redness often decreases in the next few hours, but it depends with each client. We don’t recommend using makeup on the day of. Rigorous and moderate exercise should be avoided for the next few days. Sunscreen must be used after the treatment and in between them. After the treatment, you will receive travel sized products we recommend using for the following few days.
Exosomes + SkinPen
We use plant-derived exosomes with a high safety profile. Exosomes communicate with skin cells, initiating regenerative processes and optimizing the skin’s functions, including skin renewal and the skin’s protective functions.
Exosomes have anti-inflammatory properties that help calm irritated skin and improve skin moisture by supporting the skin’s natural barrier function and helping it retain moisture and hydration levels.
Combining exosomes with laser treatments can be beneficial, as they may enhance the renewing and rejuvenating effects of the laser. Exosomes are small vesicles containing bioactive molecules that promote cellular renewal. They can be used before, during and after the procedure to improve the structure and tone of the skin.
By accelerating the healing process after laser treatment, exosomes may help minimize redness, swelling and inflammation, which often leads to faster recovery. Exosomes are combined with microneedling treatment.
Mesotherapy
Mesotherapy is one of the oldest, and one of the most popular skin rejuvenation treatments on the market. The treatment works by injecting a mixture of the active ingredients of vitamins, hyaluronic acid, and minerals into the skin, making the skin appear more elastic and creating a glowing look. Higher levels of the substances are created with mesotherapy than with typical skin care products.
We offer various mesotherapy solutions that contain different ingredients, including solutions meant to treat specific skin problems. We select the solution for each client separately based on their individual needs. The treatment suits all skin types and younger clients as well.
Treatment and Recovery
We always recommend mesotherapy as a series of 3-6 treatments with one month in between. Typically, the skin appears red after the treatment. The redness often decreases in the next few hours, but it is different with each client. We don’t recommend using makeup on the day of the treatment. Rigorous and moderate exercise should be avoided for the next few days. Sunscreen must be used after the treatment and in between them. After the treatment, you will receive travel sized products that we recommend using for the following few days.

Profhilo
Profhilo is an injected, hyaluronic-acid-based product used to treat the quality of the skin as well as to add its elasticity and moisture. Profhilo is able to spread widely on the treated area, making a significant impact on smoothening, compacting, and rejuvenating the skin. The results of the treatment are always natural. Profhilo can be used to treat the face, neck, upper-chest, hands, and body.
Treatment and Recovery
Profhilo is carefully injected under the skin. After an injection treatment, the skin can appear red, feel hot, and have swelling around the injection sites that will pass in the next few days. Bruises are possible as well. Sunscreen must be used after the treatment and in between them.
The best result is achieved by doing 2-3 treatments, with a month in between. Maintenance treatments are possible 4-6 months after the previous treatment.
Sunekos
Sunekos is a treatment in which a blend of amino acids and hyaluronic acid is injected into the skin with small needles. This stimulates fibroblasts, the cells in connective tissue, enhancing the production of collagen and elastin.
Sunekos is an exceptionally effective method of treatment for decreasing the dark circles of the skin surrounding the eyes. The treatment makes the skin surrounding the eyes firmer as well; the skin surrounding the eyes is more delicate than other skin on the face, making it important. Sunekos is a treatment specifically catering to treat the first signs of aging: furrows, lines, dry or irritated skin surrounding the eyes, signs of tiredness, and swelling. Sunekos contains hyaluronic acid that moisturizes the skin, making it brighter and smoother.
Treatment and Recovery
When treating the skin surrounding the eyes, you should be prepared for swelling and redness immediately after the treatment. These symptoms often pass within the next few hours, but they may be visible on the day after as well. Bruising is possible, and healing varies with each client. It’s good to note that this treatment is not a replacement for, e.g., Botox, and it doesn’t get rid of lines and furrows the same way.
The treatment is always done as a series of treatments with 14 days in between, following with 3-6 maintenance treatments if needed. The details vary with each client. The final results can be seen one month after the last treatment, and they are different for each client. A consultation with a nurse, in which the suitability of this treatment is discussed, is necessary before the treatment. If you use Omega or cod liver oil supplements, we recommend not taking them for at least two weeks before the treatment. As to all injection treatments, you should be prepared to see the skin look like it has been treated as well. Bruising is different for each client. We don’t recommend using makeup right after the treatment.
