Salmon sperm for beauty?

Aesthetic medicine is constantly evolving, and with it innovative treatment methods are emerging that take natural beauty to a new level. One of these groundbreaking developments is treatment with polynucleotides – a real game changer for skin rejuvenation and regeneration. These biological miracle substances are extracted from salmon sperm and have a profound effect on skin health. But what makes polynucleotides so special and why are they the new insider tip in aesthetics?

What are polynucleotides?

Polynucleotides are biotechnologically obtained nucleic acid chains that are extracted from salmon sperm. They work on a cellular level by activating the skin’s natural repair mechanism, reducing inflammation and promoting cell renewal. Thanks to their strong water-binding capacity, they also ensure deep hydration – an essential factor for youthful, fresh skin.

The impressive benefits for the skin

  1. Deep hydration: Polynucleotides have the ability to bind large amounts of water, making the skin appear plumper and more radiant from the inside out.
  2. Cell regeneration: They promote the production of new skin cells and support wound healing, leading to a visible improvement in wrinkles, fine lines and scars.
  3. Anti-inflammatory: Particularly suitable for sensitive or stressed skin, as they reduce inflammation and soothe redness.
  4. Elasticity & firming: By stimulating fibroblasts, collagen production is boosted, which strengthens the skin structure and makes it visibly firmer.
  5. Natural anti-aging effect: the skin looks fresher, more rested and more youthful – without any artificial fillers or aggressive active ingredients.

Who is the treatment suitable for?

This treatment is ideal for anyone looking for a gentle but effective method of skin rejuvenation. Whether fine lines, loss of elasticity, dry skin or a general improvement in the skin’s appearance – polynucleotides offer a natural and gentle solution for a wide range of skin needs.

Why polynucleotides are the future of aesthetics

Compared to conventional skin rejuvenation methods, polynucleotides have a regenerative rather than a masking effect. They not only improve the appearance of the skin, but also optimize skin health in the long term. The results are not only immediately visible, but also intensify over time – a real benefit for all those who rely on natural beauty.

Conclusion: The gentle revolution for radiant skin

Polynucleotides are the new generation of skin rejuvenation and set new standards in aesthetic medicine. They combine science, innovation and natural regeneration to visibly beautify the skin – without any invasive procedures. If you are looking for a real beauty boost, you should not miss out on this revolutionary treatment! treatments and drop by!

What to do with drooping eyelids after wrinkle treatment?

Ptosis: this is the technical term for drooping of the eyelid and eyebrows.

If you suddenly notice that one eye seems smaller, you have difficulty opening your eye or your eyebrow is drooping about a week after wrinkle treatment with a muscle relaxant, it is most likely due to the muscle relaxant. Don’t panic at first! It will all pass again. Here I briefly explain how this happens and what you can do.

A drooping eyelid can occur if the muscle relaxant spreads in the orbital septum and paralyzes the upper eyelid elevator muscle accidentally. To minimize the risk, the physician should inject the product into the lateral corrugator supercilii muscle (muscle under the eyebrow), keeping a safety distance of 1-2 cm from the upper lateral orbital rim. If ptosis does occur, it is usually only of short duration (approx. two to four weeks).

What can you do?

Tip no. 1

  • Do not lie completely flat for the next 4 hours and avoid lying on your stomach.

Tip no. 2

  • Avoid sport, sweating, sauna, direct sunlight and increased consumption of coffee and alcohol in the next 48 hours

Tip no. 3

  • If the eyelid does droop, we recommend activating the muscle by frequently blinking and massaging the eyelid. Eye drops that keep the eyelid open can provide short-term (approx. 4-6 hours) support (active ingredient apraclonidine: e.g. IOPIDINE® 0.5%).

What are the benefits of collagen capsules?

Industrially produced collagen is heavily advertised, especially on the Internet and by celebrities. In the form of powders, capsules and drinking ampoules, it is intended to restore the age-related loss of collagen.

The manufacturers promise more beautiful skin, healthy cartilage and stronger ligaments and joints. In fact, studies show that this canned collagen reaches bones and joints – but in its individual components. The body breaks down the collagen into the amino acids glycine, proline and hydroxyproline.

However, the body can produce collagen itself from proline. To do this, it needs vitamin C as a coenzyme. Vitamin C is required for collagen production, similar to copper, zinc and other trace elements. These micronutrients are usually missing in the powders.

What are the alternatives?

Our IV Drips can add nutrients quickly and easily.

Supplementation of nutrients (e.g. vitamin C and zinc) is more favourable than the collagen preparations themselves.

Our injections directly under the skin (Profhilo®, mesoestetic®) provide a better and longer-lasting effect and are more cost-effective in the long term.

TIPS for radiant skin

Glow up with UniCKat Aesthetics!

Do you want pore-free, radiant and healthy skin? We reveal our top glow-up tips and which products can help you achieve them.

The basic principle of skin care is: a healthy amount of cleansing and the use of skin care products. This is because our skin produces protective lipids on a daily basis, with so-called ceramides forming a major component. In order to form a natural protective barrier to the outside, it is important to maintain an acidic pH of about 5. If we now use aggressive cleansing agents such as gels containing alcohol, coarse-grained peelings or drying soaps, we lose the natural acid mantle and thus the important protective barrier against external influences. The skin appears dry, flaky, reddened and pre ages.

Therefore, not only the selection, but also the sequence in the application of care products is of fundamental importance.

  1. Start with a mild detergent without alcohol
  2. Use a gentle exfoliant 1-2x a week – I prefer exfoliants that use enzymes or glycolic acid. This not only frees the skin from dead corneal flakes, but also refines the pores!
  3. Optional deep hydrating serum
  4. Rich, moisturizing care product
  5. Very important: finally sunscreen – preferably sun protection factor 50

Just as important as the external care of the skin is the contribution of the internal care. Therefore, pay attention to a balanced and healthy diet with little sugar and salt, moderate alcohol consumption and a sufficient amount of liquid – min. 1.5 L still water or unsweetened tea. Exercise several times a week and be sure to avoid nicotine use.

Last but not least, I would like to introduce you to the wonder weapon Profhilo®. Simple in treatment, this product manages to stimulate 4 different types of collagen in the skin through biomodeling, in addition to giving you back an unbeatable glow up and noticeable firmness.

White dots on the lips

White dots on the lips?

In my consultation, young women in particular ask me what “those white dots” on their lips are. They find them particularly unattractive and would like to get rid of them.

In this blog, I will briefly inform you about the most important things.

1. What are these white dots?

These are so-called Fordyce’s glands. These are ectopic sebaceous glands that can be present on the lips, in the oral cavity and also in the intimate area. These are ectopic sebaceous glands that can be present on the lips, in the oral cavity and also in the intimate area. They have no disease value. They occur in up to 80% of the population and occur due to hormonal changes after puberty. They are completely absent in children.

2. Can I get rid of them?

The Fordyce’s glands can disappear on their own or remain. Since they have no disease value, removal is not necessary from a medical point of view. However, if they are found to be cosmetically disturbing, the following methods can help:

CO2 laser: a laser method that can ablatively sclerose the glands.

Curettage: removal by means of scraping

Oral treatment with isotretinoids: these dry out the sebaceous glands and can make them disappear completely

Typical treatment with retinoids, clindamycin and benzyl peroxide

Electrodesiccation/cauteration: This involves burning away particularly pronounced glands.

For all methods, you should consult a dermatologist, a specialist in skin diseases.
