What Are Polynucleotides?

Polynucleotides are naturally occurring molecules that help boost skin repair at a cellular level. They work by reducing inflammation, stimulating collagen production, and improving skin hydration. The treatment is particularly effective for delicate areas such as under the eyes, the cheeks, neck, and even the scalp. A course of treatments is usually recommended for the best results. Patients often notice fresher, healthier-looking skin within 2–4 weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What are polynucleotides made from?

    Polynucleotides are chains of natural molecules (DNA building blocks) typically derived from purified salmon DNA. They are highly biocompatible and safe for human use.

  • How do they differ from other skin treatments?

    Rather than filling or relaxing muscles, polynucleotides work at a cellular level to repair and rejuvenate skin over time.

  • What concerns can they treat?

    They are used for under-eye hollows, dull skin, fine lines, acne scars, and even hair thinning.

  • How many sessions will I need?

    A course of 3–4 sessions spaced 2–4 weeks apart is typical for optimal results, followed by maintenance every 6–9 months.

  • Is the treatment safe?

    Yes. The materials used are highly purified and have a long-standing record of safety in aesthetic medicine.

  • Is there any downtime?

    Very little. You may experience mild redness or small bumps at the injection sites for a few hours, but you can usually resume normal activities the same day.

  • Can I combine this with other aesthetic treatments?

    Yes, it combines well with other non-surgical treatments. We’ll tailor a plan based on your skin’s needs.

  • Are results immediate?

    No – results develop gradually over 2–4 weeks as your skin regenerates and improves from within.

  • How long do the effects last?

    With a full course, results can last 6–9 months. Top-up treatments help maintain the benefits.

  • Is it painful?

    Most patients find it very tolerable. A numbing cream may be used to reduce discomfort if needed.

  • What makes this treatment 'natural'?

    It works by encouraging your body’s own collagen production and skin healing – with no artificial volume or muscle relaxation.

  • Can it be used under the eyes?

    Yes, it’s especially effective for delicate areas like under the eyes, where other treatments may be too harsh.

  • Will my skin feel tighter or firmer?

    Yes. Over time, many patients report smoother, plumper and more elastic skin.

  • Is this suitable for sensitive skin?

    Generally, yes – but we’ll always assess your skin carefully before proceeding.

  • Are there any side effects?

    Mild swelling or redness may occur, but serious side effects are rare. We’ll provide full aftercare advice to ensure a smooth recovery.
