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 the treatment of 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.

What are polynucleotides?

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.

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

Additionally, each polynucleotides injection possesses 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.

Also frequently known as PN or PDRN, polynucleotides are categorised as a regenerative treatment that revitalise 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.

For these reasons, polynucleotide treatments demonstrate the exciting advancement in regenerative medicine that focuses on enhancing the appearance of the skin, helping it to appear plump and youthful, and bringing noticeable effects including:

• Improved skin texture
• Increased skin elasticity
• Excellent skin health
• Boosted skin hydration

Is a polynucleotides injection right for me?

Patients considering aesthetic treatments to improve skin elasticity often have skin concerns that make them feel unhappy with their appearance. This can include:

• Dull skin
• Course skin
• Wrinkles
• Uneven pigmentation
• Redness
• Dark circles
• Acne scarring
• Stretch marks
• Surgical scarring
• A deep tear trough
• Hair loss

However, while predominantly associated with the face and neck, polynucleotides treatment can also be used:

• Across the body, including the hands, chest, arms, and knees
• In the intimate areas to treat vulval health concerns, such as vaginal dryness, irritation, itching, pain and tingling, and discomfort during physical intimacy.

Polynucleotides injections – what to expect during skin regeneration

Prior to polynucleotides treatment day, our experienced and trained team will first talk you through the skin boosters, answering any questions you might have and explaining what you should expect, both from how your skin cells will react and the injection process.

They will also discuss your current health, your past medical history and the current condition of your skin with you to fully understand how best to treat you and ensure the skin boosters are as effective as possible.

On treatment day

Before your polynucleotides injection can take place, our experienced team will cleanse the area and apply a local anaesthetic cream so patients experience nothing more than mild discomfort at any time.

Then, once numb, the polynucleotides (which are distilled into a range of strengths and suspended in water) are injected into the superficial layer of the skin using either a fine needle or a cannula.

If you are receiving targeted treatment under the eyes, a cannula may be used to administer multiple micro-doses into the target area – to minimise swelling and bruising in this delicate area.

For most people, the polynucleotides treatment will take around 15-30 minutes and to fully improve skin elasticity and improve skin texture, a course of 3 or 4 skin boosters will be recommended, spaced 3 weeks apart to achieve optimum results.

After treatment

While the results are not instant, improvement can be noted from about 3 weeks after polynucleotides injections and this should continue to improve over the coming 12-week period.

As the polynucleotides injections are placed into the skin, you should expect an array of physical side effects, including:

• Small bumps just under the skin that will be visible and take 3-12 hours to settle.
• Some mild redness, tenderness, and swelling on the treatment site for 24-48 hours
• Some mild bruising, which can be visible the next day and can take up to 10-14 days to resolve.

We advise that you take this into consideration if you are booking treatment in the run-up to big events like weddings. However, the vast majority can return to work and go about their day-to-day duties as normal.

More positively, our patients report a general improvement in the appearance of the skin, saying the skin rejuvenation that comes from boosted collagen and elastin production helps skin to feel smoother and better hydrated.

Other benefits include:

• Improved skin texture
• Plumped fine lines and wrinkles
• Scarring that has less depth, appears smaller, and has better colour
• If being used for hair loss, new hair growth can be noted and existing hair will be healthier
• In cases of polynucleotides treatment in intimate areas, you can experience more hydration, less dryness, and a reduction of itchiness.

It should be noted, however, that results will vary between individuals as the outcome is dependant upon the biological response of the individual and lifestyle factors and that the most effective skin rejuvenation comes from repeated treatments.
