Facial Treatments
PolyPhil™
Are you looking for a natural, sustainable way to renew your skin from within? At alestetics® in Zurich, we rely on PolyPhil™ —a highly pure polynucleotide preparation that acts as a biostimulator and triggers the body's own regeneration. Unlike traditional fillers, PolyPhil™ improves the skin structure at the cellular level: more collagen, better elasticity, and lavish hydration for a fresh, denser complexion.
- Regeneration & firming: stimulates collagen and elastin production
- Deeply effective moisture: strengthens the skin barrier and reduces dryness
- Long-term skin improvement: smoother, firmer, and more even skin
- Natural results without volume build-up as with fillers
- Ideal for preparation or combination with RF microneedling, Stellar M22 IPL, or Volnewmer
PolyPhil™
PolyPhil™ – high-purity polynucleotides for regenerative skin rejuvenation in Zurich
PolyPhil™ (formerly PhilArt) is a highly pure polynucleotide preparation that acts as a biostimulator. It consists of specially processed DNA fragments from controlled fish sources and is applied intradermally to stimulate skin regeneration from within — without adding volume as with traditional fillers.
The sensational term "salmon sperm" is circulating on social media for such products. This is misleading: what is meant are highly purified, biocompatible polynucleotides, not raw biological material. Modern purification processes remove proteins and impurities, leaving only safe active ingredient fragments.
Polynucleotides offer gentle yet effective regeneration support for the skin: when applied intradermally, they stimulate collagen and elastin formation, improve skin density and elasticity, and thus ensure a visibly firmer, smoother complexion without plumped-up volume. At the same time, they strengthen the skin barrier and increase moisture retention, making dry, thin, or sun-damaged skin appear significantly more vital. The active ingredients protect cells and promote tissue healing, which is why they can also be used to improve skin structure after device-based treatments or in cases of fine scars. Thanks to their high purity and biological compatibility, polynucleotides deliver natural, long-lasting results with minimal downtime — ideal if you are looking for lasting skin improvement rather than short-term effects.

Frequently Asked Questions
Questions about PolyPhil™
What are polynucleotides (PolyPhil™)?
PolyPhil™ is a highly pure polynucleotide preparation (formerly PhilArt), obtained from controlled fish sources and applied intradermally as a biostimulator that promotes skin regeneration and collagen formation — without adding volume as fillers do.
How does the Vital Injector 2™ work?
The Vital Injector 2™ is a state-of-the-art multi-needle system that precisely and effectively injects active ingredients into deeper skin layers. Its vacuum system enables gentle, virtually painless treatment with optimal dosage and distribution.
Who is PolyPhil™ suitable for?
Ideal for fine lines, sagging, dry, or sun-damaged skin, as well as for improving skin density. Also excellent as preparation or supplementation for RF microneedling, Stellar M22 IPL, or Volnewmer.
How many treatments will I need?
A starting series of 3 sessions at intervals of 7–21 days is standard. For lasting results, we recommend follow-up maintenance treatments (tailored to individual needs).
How does the treatment feel?
Thanks to the vacuum system and fine needles, the treatment is well tolerated. Many find it barely painful – more like a slight vibration or tingling.
Is there any downtime after the treatment?
As a rule, no. Slight redness or spot-like puncture marks may occur, but usually subside after a few hours. You can return to your daily routine immediately.
When will I see results?
Initial improvements in hydration and skin appearance are often visible within days. Lasting effects due to collagen buildup develop over 4–12 weeks.
Is the treatment painful?
Thanks to the vacuum system of the Vital Injector 2™, the treatment is gentle and virtually painless. The precise technology ensures a comfortable experience.
How safe is PolyPhil™ for people with fish allergies?
PolyPhil™ is highly purified, which reduces the risk of allergies. If you have a known fish allergy, we will check your suitability individually during the preliminary examination and decide together.
What does the viral term "salmon sperm" mean?
This is a sensationalist social media expression. It refers to polynucleotides from fish sources — not raw material. Modern purification processes ensure that only safe, biocompatible active ingredient fragments are used.
Can I combine PolyPhil™ with other treatments?
Yes. PolyPhil™ is ideal for preconditioning before energy or needling treatments and as a follow-up therapy afterwards. We plan the exact sequence and intervals (typically 1–2 weeks) individually so that you achieve maximum results.
Are there any contraindications?
Not suitable for active skin infections in the treatment area, pregnancy or breastfeeding, uncontrolled autoimmune diseases, or severe coagulation disorders. A detailed medical history will clarify this before each treatment.
How does treatment at alestetics® in Zurich work?
First, we consult with you and perform a 3D skin analysis. We then create a personalized treatment plan. The injections are administered under sterile conditions by our experienced specialist (using a Vital Injector). Aftercare tips and follow-up instructions are provided to ensure optimal regeneration.

What our customers say
“Aleksandra was very professional, warm, and friendly. She gave me excellent advice on what I needed, even though I had booked a completely different treatment. She explained all the risks and considerations clearly, and I never felt like I was being pressured into anything. Great consultation… I’ve found my new go-to place for treatments.”
“A huge thank you to Alex for her consultation. Her expertise and calm, professional demeanor won me over right away. She takes the time to address individual needs and offers fantastic tips for at-home skincare. It was exactly the kind of consultation I was hoping for—knowledgeable, warm, and genuine.”
“I really appreciate that there’s no pressure to buy extra services or products—just genuine, high-quality care. After going to Alestetics for almost a year, I’ve had nothing but positive experiences. Alex has been professional, kind, and attentive during all my visits. I highly recommend them!”
“I love coming here; it always feels like I’m going to a spa. They don’t try to sell me anything and are very upfront about what the treatments can—and cannot—do for me. They take health and well-being very seriously and always make sure I know how to take care of myself outside the clinic as well.”
“Alex is amazing! She listens to what customers need and explains the process. She’s very knowledgeable and also offers recommendations. For me, her fluency in English is extremely helpful when we communicate.”
“I had a Vivace treatment combined with PRX-T33. The appointment went smoothly; the staff was very professional and efficient. The clinic is close to HB and centrally located. Alexandra was very nice and friendly. I’ll definitely be back!”
“I had Alestetics microneedling and EXILIS treatments done on my abdomen at Alestetics , and I’m extremely satisfied with the results. In fact, the results are much more noticeable than I expected. Katia is highly professional, very attentive, and incredibly warm. I highly recommend her!”
“I spent a long time looking for the right studio for me, and I’m so happy I chose alestetics®. The studio is beautiful, and everything is extremely clean and hygienic. Thanks to the team’s caring, friendly, and professional manner, I felt very comfortable and safe throughout the entire treatment.”
“I’ve been to Alestetics several times. Before the treatment, they performed an Aura skin analysis and explained my skin condition to me in great detail—it was incredibly professional and transparent. Katia, Antonia, and Alex are incredibly caring, knowledgeable, and professional. You never feel like ‘just another customer.’”
“Today I had my first laser session (4 zones) with Katia, and I felt completely at ease. She was especially sensitive to my needs, since I’m a bit sensitive to pain at times. Her friendly manner made the treatment truly pleasant!”
“Katia does an absolutely wonderful job! I’ve now had my third laser session. Since I’m quite sensitive to pain, I really appreciate that Katia always distracts me with a friendly chat. I feel very well taken care of.”
“I had a wonderful experience at the alestetics with Katia. She took the time to listen to my concerns, explained everything clearly, and made sure I felt confident the whole time. I highly recommend Katia for high-quality, truly personalized treatment.”
“Review of the BTL Exilis treatment. I’m an active man who works out regularly, but despite my best efforts, I couldn’t get rid of that stubborn belly fat. I noticed a difference after just the first treatment. After several sessions, the difference was clearly visible.”
“All the treatments here are amazing. This wellness haven truly lives up to its reputation. It’s centrally located—right next to Zurich Central Station—and the spa has a serene and calm atmosphere. Every visit to Alestetics my monthly treat and feels like a mini-vacation.”
“I alestetics several Endospheres treatments at alestetics . Alex and Katia are very professional, but also very friendly and caring. They always took my needs and wishes into account (avoiding the stomach area after pregnancy). I highly recommend it!”
“I went to Katia at alestetics® for five EXILIS treatments. The service was great—Katia is very professional, warm, and explains everything in detail. You immediately feel at ease with her. I highly recommend her!”
"I feel understood, and they're super nice and professional!!"
“I had an excellent experience with the Icoone treatment. Antonia was simply fantastic—very professional, warm, and incredibly friendly. She took plenty of time and made sure I felt comfortable throughout the entire treatment.”
"I visit Alestetics for HydraFacial and microneedling. The team is super friendly and flexible. The location is perfect, and the studio is clean and comfortable. After three treatments, my skin feels much clearer and my pores are slightly smaller."
“I feel completely at ease with Alex and her team! From the reception to the treatments, the hygiene, and the atmosphere—everything is always perfect. I originally Alestetics through their laser treatments, but now I also go Alestetics for my facials.”
“The treatments at Alestetics worked wonders on my sensitive skin. With Katia, you’re in truly professional hands!”
"I'm so happy to have found this clinic in Zurich where, after just four sessions, I'm seeing amazing results! The woman who takes care of me, Katia, is super kind; she put me at ease right from the start and is incredibly professional!"
“My favorite studio in Zh! Great service, wonderful welcome tea, friendly staff, helpful consultations, and I left feeling happy and glowing, looking gorgeous after my treatments. Thanks, Katia, Alexandra, and Alestetics —love you all!”
“At first, I was thrilled with the Endospheres therapy. But the Icoone treatment surpassed everything: it gently massages the skin from head to toe without any pain. I started the treatments less for firmer skin and more for my health. The team is like a group of best friends to me.”
“Very kind and professional staff who take the time to perform a skin analysis and offer valuable advice! I highly recommend them. It was a pleasure to undergo the AURA 3D skin analysis and discuss my daily skincare routine.”
