Polynucleotides
Polynucleotide treatments are a regenerative injectable that work with the skin’s own repair processes to improve hydration, elasticity and collagen production. They are increasingly popular for refreshing tired-looking skin and improving overall skin quality, including the delicate area around the eyes.
How it works
Polynucleotides are purified chains that support the activity of the skin’s repair cells (fibroblasts), encouraging tissue regeneration, hydration and collagen production while helping to calm and condition the skin. The effect is one of gradual, natural improvement in skin quality.
What it can help with
Dull, tired or stressed-looking skin
Fine lines and loss of elasticity
The under-eye area and dark circles
Early skin laxity
Overall skin quality and resilience
What to expect
After a consultation, the treatment is delivered through a series of small injections and takes around 20 to 30 minutes. It is usually given as a course of two to three sessions, a few weeks apart, for the best result.
Results & longevity
Results appear gradually and are cumulative, with continued improvement over the course of treatment as the skin regenerates. Maintenance sessions help to sustain the results over time.
Downtime & aftercare
Mild swelling or small injection bumps may be present for 24 to 48 hours.
Is it right for me?
Polynucleotides suit adults wanting natural skin regeneration and a long-term improvement in skin quality, following a consultation. They are not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
