Polynucleotides
Unlock the secret to youthful looking skin with an innovative polynucleotide treatment. Harnessing the power of nature's building blocks, polynucleotide treatment is designed to rejuvenate and revitalise your skin from within.
What are polynucleotides?
Polynucleotides are fractions of DNA deriving from fish fragments, resembling human DNA and are classified as injectable bio-stimulators. When injected into the skin, this 'switches on' the skin cells called fibroblasts. As we age, fibroblasts are reduced and produce less collagen and elastin - the skin becomes lax, thin and saggy, giving way to fine lines and wrinkles. By stimulating these fibroblasts, polynucleotides produce more collagen and elastin, as well as better functioning proteins. The result is renewed and refreshed skin that looks younger and revitalised from within.
Benefits of polynucleotides
-
Cellular Repair and Regeneration: Polynucleotides can penetrate the skin and enter the cells, where they promote cellular repair and regeneration. This can lead to improved skin texture, reduced signs of aging, and a more youthful appearance.
-
Collagen Synthesis: Polynucleotides have been shown to stimulate the production of collagen, a protein that provides structural support to the skin. Increased collagen synthesis can help to improve skin firmness and elasticity, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
-
Hydration and Moisture Retention: Polynucleotides attract and retain moisture in the skin. This helps to keep the skin hydrated, plump, and supple, reducing dryness and preventing moisture loss.
-
Anti-inflammatory Effects: Polynucleotides have been found to have anti-inflammatory properties, which can help to soothe and calm irritated or inflamed skin. This makes them beneficial for individuals with sensitive or reactive skin types.

Frequently asked questions
about polynucleotide treatment
How long do results last?
Results generally last for several months, depending on individual factors and the specific area treated. Maintenance treatments are recommended for sustained effects.
Can I combine with other treatments?
Yes, polynucleotide treatment can be safely combined with other aesthetic procedures, such as dermal fillers, to enhance overall results. We can create a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Is the treatment painful?
Most patients report minimal discomfort during the procedure. A topical numbing agent is used to enhance comfort.
Is there any down-time?
Most patients can resume their normal activities immediately after treatment. Some may experience mild swelling or redness that typically resolves within a few hours to a couple of days.
Are there any side effects?
Common side effects include temporary swelling, bruising, or redness at the injection site. These usually resolve within a few days.
How do polynucleotides differ from skin boosters?
While hyaluronic acid skin boosters focus mainly on hydration, polynucleotides go beyond, stimulating cells to generate collagen and elastin.
