Eight aesthetic nurses from the UK were invited on an exclusive trip to Rome to discover the science behind polynucleotides in June.
Hosted by UK distributor DermaFocus, in collaboration with manufacturer Mastelli, the trip focused on the injectable-based PLINEST and NEWEST polynucleotide product ranges. The products use polynucleotides to stimulate fibroblasts to regenerate aged and damaged skin – treating fine lines, poor tone and texture, acne scarring, hyperpigmentation and rosacea – with NEWEST also containing hyaluronic acid to rehydrate and lightly volumise skin.
Regenerative aesthetic experts Professor Maurizio Cavallini and Dr Marco Papagni led the training; first detailing the research and science behind the product ranges and then overseeing a hands-on injecting masterclass.
The nurses chosen to attend the trip each have extensive experience in aesthetics and are now looking to integrate regenerative treatments into their clinics. They included Mel Recchia, Cheryl Barton, Caroline Hall, Kate Harding, Kate Monteith-Ross, Donna McKenna and Grace Cobner.
Nurse prescriber Cheryl Barton, who has a clinic in Sheffield, said, “It was a pleasure to meet with Professor Cavallini who has published ground-breaking research and data on polynucleotides from Mastelli. We are working closely with DermaFocus who are paving the way forward in the UK on polynucleotides, which I firmly believe will be a game changer in aesthetic medicine, especially their soon to be launched product PLINEST Eye for those looking for an eyelid correction, without surgery.”
After the training, the group attended an informal dinner with the DermaFocus and Mastelli teams, before getting the opportunity to explore Rome. They were also invited to the Rome-Dubai Breast Symposium which, as well as focusing on surgery, held sessions on how polynucleotides enhance skin quality.
Milad Bemana, executive director of DermaFocus, said, “Polynucleotides are rapidly gaining popularity amongst practitioners looking for regenerative treatments that can transform skin on a cellular level. The Mastelli range is in demand thanks to its unique formulas that can treat different indications, so it was an honour to give these leading aesthetic nurses the opportunity to take a deep dive into the continued research and innovation behind the products. They have hopefully returned home armed with the knowledge and skills to successfully introduce polynucleotides to their patients, transforming skin from within.”
