Polynucleotides are an advanced injectable skin rejuvenation treatment designed to improve skin quality and stimulate natural regeneration. They are derived from purified DNA fragments and work by stimulating fibroblasts in the skin, encouraging collagen production, improving hydration and supporting tissue repair. This helps to strengthen and revitalise the skin from within, resulting in smoother, healthier and more youthful-looking skin.

Polynucleotides can be used to improve skin quality in several areas of the face and body. The most commonly treated areas include the under-eye area, full face, neck, décolletage and hands. They can also be used on areas of the body where skin quality needs improvement, including areas affected by scarring or stretch marks.

Polynucleotides work by stimulating the skin’s natural regenerative processes. Once injected into the skin, they activate fibroblasts, which are responsible for producing collagen and elastin. This process helps repair damaged tissue, improve skin hydration and strengthen the skin’s structure. Over time, this leads to improved skin texture, elasticity and overall skin quality.

Yes, polynucleotides are considered a safe treatment when administered by a qualified medical professional. The product is highly purified and biocompatible, meaning it works harmoniously with the body’s natural processes. As with any injectable treatment, a consultation is carried out beforehand to ensure the treatment is suitable for you.

A polynucleotide treatment typically takes around 20–30 minutes depending on the area being treated. A consultation will take place beforehand to assess your skin and discuss your treatment goals.

Results develop gradually as the skin begins to regenerate and produce new collagen. Most clients notice improvements in skin quality over several weeks, with optimal results developing after completing a course of treatments. Results can typically last several months, depending on the individual and their skin condition.

Downtime is minimal. Some mild swelling, redness or small injection marks may be visible immediately after treatment, particularly in delicate areas such as under the eyes. These effects usually settle within 24–48 hours and most clients can return to normal activities shortly after treatment.

For best results, a course of 2–3 treatments is usually recommended, spaced approximately 2–4 weeks apart. This allows the skin to gradually regenerate and improve in quality. Maintenance treatments may be recommended every 6–9 months depending on individual skin needs.

Side effects are usually mild and temporary. The most common effects include slight swelling, redness, tenderness or small bruises at the injection sites. These typically resolve within a few days. 

Polynucleotide treatments are suitable for most adults looking to improve skin quality and rejuvenation. However, the treatment may not be suitable for individuals who are pregnant, breastfeeding or have certain medical conditions. A consultation will always be carried out beforehand to ensure the treatment is safe and appropriate for you.
