What is polynucleotides treatment?

Polynucleotides are bio-regenerative skin injections that boost collagen and elastin production, helping to improve common skin concerns that come from ageing. It is ideal for treating dark circles, fine lines under and around the eyes, smokers’ lines around the mouth, and crepiness in the neck area – as well as boosting overall skin rejuvenation.

Polynucleotides injections also possess the ability to soothe inflammation and restore the balance of melanocyte activity (skin pigmentation), resulting in a more even and refreshed skin tone without adding volume, like traditional dermal fillers.

Benefit one

Deep skin regeneration

These injections trigger natural tissue repair, improving skin texture, smoothing out fine lines and boosting the overall quality of your skin. Thanks to their regenerative properties, polynucleotides are highly effective for treating scars and sun damage.

Benefit two

Long-lasting hydration

As this treatment helps attract and hold moisture within the tissue, you’ll experience a radiant glow and improved skin hydration that builds with each session.

Benefit three

Natural-looking results

Because polynucleotide treatments stimulate your body’s own repair processes, the results look and feel completely natural. So, you can achieve an authentic feel and appearance.

Benefit four

Versatile treatment areas

We can administer polynucleotides under the eyes, or in the face, neck, decolletage and hands – anywhere skin quality needs improvement.

    Got any questions?

    How do polynucleotide injections work?

    Polynucleotides injections employ filtered, ultra-purified, and sterilised DNA fractions that, once injected, speed up the body’s cell regeneration cycle and enhance its repair mechanisms.

    Also frequently known as PN or PDRN, polynucleotides are categorised as a regenerative treatment that revitalises the skin while also working to improve skin hydration, providing results that occur on a deeper level than other anti-wrinkle injections on the market.

    Predominantly derived from salmon DNA, polynucleotides stimulate fibroblasts, a human cell that secretes collagen proteins to form connective tissue. As such, polynucleotide treatments promote tissue repair, enhancing cell turnover and stimulating collagen production.

    How long do the results of polynucleotides treatment last?

    The effectiveness and longevity of polynucleotides injections does vary been individuals and lifestyle factors can also affect how long the effects will last, including smoking, sun exposure, excessive alcohol or caffeine consumption, high-salt diets, and dehydration.

    Likewise, as polynucleotides treatment does not arrest the ageing process, a maintenance treatment is recommended every 6 months. If you choose not to maintain the results with further treatment, your skin will return to its pre-treatment state over time.

    Are there any polynucleotides side effects?

    While polynucleotide injections are generally safe, there are a few mild, short-term side effects to be aware of:

    • Swelling and tenderness
    • Redness
    • Bruising 
    • Small lumps

    Rarer and more severe side effects include allergic reactions, infection and persistent swelling.

    Is there any downtime with polynucleotides treatment?

    There’s minimal downtime with polynucleotides treatment, with most patients able to return to daily activities immediately or within 24 hours. But to aid the healing process, our clinician will advise that you:

    • Avoid vigorous exercise and physical activity for 24 hours
    • Avoid exposure to saunas and steam rooms for several days
    • Avoid intense UV and sun exposure for numerous days post-treatment, including sunbeds

    Can anyone get polynucleotides injections?

    Most people will be excellent candidates for this preventative treatment and will be thrilled with how it boosts the skin’s ability to heal and improve.

    Due to their anti-inflammatory and regenerative properties, polynucleotide treatments are also very suitable if you have sensitive skin or rosacea.

    However, you may not be suitable for polynucleotides treatment if you have:

    • An active herpes infection
    • An ongoing autoimmune disease or are undergoing immunotherapy
    • Had allergic reactions to any of the ingredients in the injections
    • If you’re currently pregnant or breastfeeding.
