Polynucleotides

What are Polynucleotides?

Polynucleotides are a type of injectable bio-stimulator that consist of stretchy molecules crafted from fragments of DNA. Unlike traditional fillers that predominantly add volume, this injectable enhances skin quality by targeting free radicals, boosting hydration and promoting tissue regeneration. Experience the beauty of improved skin texture and vitality with this revolutionary treatment.

“Polynucleotides are a lovely new treatment modality that taps into the body’s own biological systems and helps to bio-regenerate the skin. It sends signals to the skin that result in the production of new collagen and elastin, helping the skin behave like it did in younger years. They give high-impact results in the softest and most natural way.”

Polynucleotide Treatment Benefits

Polynucleotides activate various beneficial transformations in skin behaviour, including:

  • Improved skin texture and tone – Polynucleotides can help to improve uneven texture, dullness and roughness, leaving the skin looking smoother and more refined.
  • Enhanced hydration – The treatment supports skin hydration from within, helping the skin look fresher, healthier and more luminous.
  • Collagen and elastin support – Polynucleotides help to stimulate the skin’s natural repair processes, supporting collagen and elastin production for firmer, more resilient skin.
  • Reduction in fine lines – By improving hydration, elasticity and skin quality, polynucleotides can help to soften the appearance of fine lines and crepey skin.
  • Under-eye rejuvenation – Polynucleotides can be used in the delicate under-eye area to improve skin quality, soften crepiness and support a brighter, more refreshed appearance.
  • Support for scarred or damaged skin – The regenerative properties of polynucleotides may help to support skin repair and improve the appearance of uneven or textured skin.
  • Natural-looking, progressive results – Results develop gradually as the skin responds to treatment. The aim is to improve skin quality in a subtle, natural-looking way, rather than create visible volume or contour.

With its bio-remodelling properties, patients can enjoy the antioxidant and hydrating effect of the treatment with skin that looks and feels healthier.

Polynucleotides treatment areas

Polynucleotides can be used across several areas of the face and body where skin quality, hydration and regeneration are key concerns.

Polynucleotides for the face

Polynucleotides can help to improve overall skin texture, hydration, elasticity and radiance on the face. They may be suitable for patients concerned with dullness, enlarged pores, fine lines, uneven tone or early signs of ageing. This treatment can be used as part of a wider skin-quality plan, particularly for patients who want to improve the condition of the skin without adding volume. In some cases, your practitioner may recommend combining polynucleotides with treatments such as Profhilo, babyGLOW™ Skin Booster or Morpheus8 depending on your skin goals.

Polynucleotides under eyes

The under-eye area is delicate and can be one of the first places to show signs of fatigue and ageing. Polynucleotides may be recommended for patients concerned with dark circles, crepey skin, fine lines, tired-looking eyes or soft hollowing beneath the eyes. Unlike tear trough filler, which is designed to restore volume, polynucleotides focus on improving the quality and resilience of the under-eye skin. They may be suitable for patients who are not suitable for tear trough filler or who would benefit from a more regenerative approach. For patients researching under-eye rejuvenation more broadly, your practitioner may also discuss related tired eyes treatments or dark circles treatments.

Polynucleotides for the neck

The neck can become crepey, dry or lax as collagen and elastin levels decline. Polynucleotides may help to improve hydration, texture and firmness in this delicate area. They may be suitable for patients with mild neck crepiness, fine horizontal lines or early signs of skin laxity. For patients with more significant laxity, your practitioner may recommend combining polynucleotides with treatments such as Profhilo, Morpheus8 or non-surgical neck lift treatments.

Polynucleotides for hands

The hands can reveal signs of ageing through thinning skin, crepiness, dehydration and reduced skin quality. Polynucleotides may be used to support skin repair and improve the appearance of tired or ageing hands. This treatment can be particularly useful where the concern is skin quality rather than volume loss. If veins, tendons or hollowness are more prominent, your practitioner may recommend a dedicated hand rejuvenation treatment plan, which may include other injectable options depending on your concerns.

How do Polynucleotide injection treatments work?

Polynucleotide injectables work by stimulating collagen and elastin production in the skin’s cells. Polynucleotide injections trigger two key transformations in skin behaviour. Initially, they act as wound healing agents, prompting intensive skin repair, which reduces scar tissue, including stretch marks, and smoothing uneven or textured patches on the skin. Polynucleotides also possess anti-inflammatory properties that stimulate cell renewal, promoting cell renewal, collagen synthesis, elasticity, and hydration, ultimately reducing wrinkles.

Unlike traditional fillers, polynucleotide injectables gradually dissipate after activating the skin’s regeneration, rather than remaining in place indefinitely.

FAQ

Polynucleotides, an injectable bio-stimulator, feature stretchy molecules derived from fish DNA fragments, selected for their similarity to human DNA (fish are not harmed in this process). Unlike standard fillers, this groundbreaking treatment elevates the skin quality itself by combating free radicals, enhancing hydration, and stimulating tissue regeneration.

At The Cosmetic Skin Clinic, we would recommend having three polynucleotide treatments a month apart from one another. For maintenance sessions, we would recommend a top-up every 9 months for best results. This is all dependent on the patient and the concern area/s and our practitioners will provide you with all the advice you need.

Polynucleotides continue to stimulate the treatment area for up to 12 weeks following treatment, resulting in a gradual onset of effects. For the face and neck regions, improvements in skin quality and elasticity become apparent after a few weeks. Quicker results are usually noticeable in areas like the under-eyes.

As with all injectables, there can be the common side effects of slight swelling and bruising. This will be mild and only temporary. At your consultation, our practitioners will talk you through any and all concerns and questions you may have.

Polynucleotides offer natural-looking results with minimal risk. They enhance skin texture, address skin discoloration, and subtly increase volume and tightness, particularly under the eyes. With collagen-boosting properties and enhanced hydration, they act as a potent injectable moisture treatment. Suitable for both preventative care in younger skin and rejuvenation in aging skin, Polynucleotides serve as versatile solutions for skin health and vitality.

The price for Polynucleotides will depend on your individual needs, desired results and recommended treatment plan as well as your clinic location and chosen practitioner.

Polynucleotides are not a filler. Polynucleotides differ from fillers in that they don’t contain hyaluronic acid. Instead, they consist of biopolymers, which are stretchy molecules derived from fragments of fish DNA. Despite these distinctions, Polynucleotides synergize effectively with hyaluronic acid fillers, providing both immediate and long-term enhancements.

While hyaluronic acid skin boosters such as Profhilo, Teoxane Redensity 1, Belotero Revive, and Sunekos Performa primarily provide hydration, Polynucleotides go a step further by actually stimulating collagen and elastin production in cells. Unlike many skin boosters, polynucleotides are effective in areas like the eyes, lips and forehead where others may not reach.

Polynucleotides can be seamlessly integrated into popular skin booster treatments like Profhilo and Sunekos, as well as various other treatments we provide including our high-tech energy treatments.

Dr Johanna Ward favours a double eye treatment combining Thermage Eyes with Polynucleotides. Dr Ward says:

“The brilliant thing about polynucleotides is that they can be combined with any type of energy treatment. This is particularly good for dark circles, soft hollowing under the eye and addressing the crepey tissue around the eye.”

Your practitioner will expertly advise you on the optimal time to introduce additional complementary treatments into your personalised plan.
