What are polynucleotides?

Polynucleotides are naturally occurring DNA fragments that play a vital role in tissue regeneration and repair. These bio-active compounds are purified and formulated into injectable treatments that stimulate your skin’s natural healing and rejuvenation processes.

Unlike traditional skin boosters that primarily focus on hydration, polynucleotides work at a deeper cellular level to enhance tissue quality, promote regeneration, and improve overall skin health. By stimulating collagen and elastin production, these treatments effectively combat signs of aging such as wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin. They also deeply hydrate the skin, improving its texture and promoting a plump, youthful appearance.

How do polynucleotides work?

These treatments can be used on various skin types and ages, making them a versatile option for achieving a more radiant and youthful complexion. Polynucleotides are celebrated as the ‘ultimate’ in skin rejuvenation and regenerative medicine and work within the body at multiple levels optimising treatment for overall skin health.

Cellular activation – Polynucleotides stimulate fibroblast cells, triggering the production of essential proteins including collagen and elastin. This activation enhances your skin’s natural repair mechanisms.

Tissue regeneration – The treatment promotes the formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis) and enhances tissue oxygenation, leading to improved skin quality and faster healing.

Metabolic support – Polynucleotides provide essential nutrients and building blocks that support cellular metabolism and optimise tissue repair processes.

What are the benefits of polynucleotides?

Beyond anti-aging benefits, polynucleotides offer a range of advantages for overall skin health. They enhance skin elasticity and firmness, reduce inflammation, and protect against environmental damage. 

  • Skin Rejuvenation – Stimulates the production of collagen and elastin
  • Repair and healing – Promotes wound healing and skin repair, reducing the appearance of scars and stretch marks
  • Anti-aging – Reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of aging by regenerating skin cells
  • Anti-inflammatory – Reduces inflammation and redness, making it suitable for sensitive skin types
  • Boost cellular activity – Enhances the skin’s natural regenerative processes

Can I combine polynucleotides and other treatments?

Yes, polynucleotides work well in combination with other aesthetic treatments. They can be effectively combined with anti-wrinkle treatments, dermal fillers, skin boosters, and other skin rejuvenation procedures. Your practitioner will create a personalised treatment plan and advise on the optimal timing of combined treatments for the best results.

Are polynucleotides painful?2025-01-16T14:42:32+00:00

Most patients report slight discomfort during treatment.  The treatment sensation is typically described as a slight pinching feeling. Any mild discomfort during the procedure resolves quickly afterward.

Are there side effects to having a polynucleotides treatment?2025-01-16T14:43:07+00:00

Common side effects are mild and temporary, typically lasting 24-48 hours. These may include slight redness, mild swelling, and small injection site bumps. Bruising is possible but uncommon. Serious side effects are extremely rare when administered by qualified medical practitioners using approved products.

What is the recovery time after having polynucleotides?2025-01-16T14:43:42+00:00

Recovery is quick and straightforward. Any initial swelling or redness typically subsides within 1-2 days. We recommend avoiding intense exercise, excessive sun exposure, and saunas for 48 hours post-treatment. You can apply makeup after 24 hours if desired.

What is the downtime following a polynucleotides treatment?2025-01-16T14:44:17+00:00

Downtime is minimal. You may experience some mild swelling and redness for 24-48 hours post-treatment. Some patients notice small injection site bumps that typically resolve within 48 hours. Most patients return to their normal activities immediately after treatment.

Are polynucleotides safe?2025-01-16T14:44:36+00:00

Yes, polynucleotides have an excellent safety profile. They are highly purified, biocompatible compounds that naturally occur in human tissue. The treatments are CE-marked for safety and are administered only by qualified medical practitioners following strict clinical protocols. Their natural compatibility with human tissue makes them particularly safe for aesthetic treatments.

How many polynucleotide treatments will I need?2025-01-16T14:45:02+00:00

This depends on your individual skin concern and its severity. However, in most cases, we usually recommend 3 treatment sessions, 2 to 4 weeks apart for optimum results and then maintenance sessions once every 6 months to keep your skin looking its very best.
