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.

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™

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

Initial improvements in hydration and skin appearance are often visible within days. Lasting effects due to collagen buildup develop over 4–12 weeks.

Thanks to the vacuum system of the Vital Injector 2™, the treatment is gentle and virtually painless. The precise technology ensures a comfortable experience.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
