What Are Polynucleotides?
Polynucleotides are powerful regenerative molecules that help stimulate skin repair and collagen production. They work beneath the surface of the skin to support healing, improve hydration, and strengthen the skin barrier.
Think of them as a treatment focused on skin quality rather than adding volume.
This makes them ideal for patients wanting fresher, healthier-looking skin while still maintaining very natural results.
What Can Polynucleotides Help With?
Polynucleotide treatments can help improve:
- Fine lines and crepey skin
- Skin texture and elasticity
- Dehydrated or dull skin
- Mild skin laxity
- Tired-looking skin
- Overall skin quality and firmness
They are also particularly popular for delicate areas where the skin is thinner and more fragile, such as around the eyes, where they can help improve crepey texture and encourage healthier, smoother-looking skin.
A Regenerative Approach to Skin Rejuvenation
One of the reasons Polynucleotides have become so popular is because they take a regenerative approach to ageing.
Instead of simply filling lines, they encourage the skin to repair itself naturally by stimulating fibroblast activity and collagen production. Over time, this helps the skin become stronger, healthier, and more resilient.
Results develop gradually, creating a subtle and refreshed appearance rather than an obvious “done” look.
What Does Treatment Involve?
Treatment involves a series of small injections placed into the targeted area. Most patients find the procedure very manageable, and numbing cream can be applied beforehand to improve comfort.
For best results, we usually recommend a course of treatments spaced several weeks apart, depending on your skin concerns and goals.
As collagen stimulation takes time, improvements continue to develop in the weeks following treatment.
Is There Any Downtime?
Downtime is usually minimal. Some patients may experience:
- Mild redness
- Small bumps at the injection sites
- Slight swelling or bruising
These effects are temporary and typically settle within a few days.
Who Is This Treatment Suitable For?
Polynucleotides are suitable for patients wanting:
- Natural-looking rejuvenation
- Healthier, stronger skin
- Collagen stimulation
- Preventative anti-ageing support
- A treatment focused on repair and regeneration
They can also work beautifully alongside other aesthetic treatments as part of a long-term skin health plan.
