What Are Polynucleotides?
Polynucleotides are a type of skin booster used for skin regeneration and anti-ageing purposes. Composed of long chains of DNA, they promote deep skin renewal and induce collagen production. This process leads to improvements in skin texture, firmness, elasticity and overall appearance.
At our aesthetic clinic near Basingstoke, we use Polynucleotides derived from fragments of salmon DNA - the closest DNA to human.
Nurse Louise will administer the treatment via gentle microinjections, two to three sessions apart, to ensure steady cellular repair. The Polynucleotide injection will leave small bumps across the skin, but they will subside within 72 hours.
What Can Polynucleotides
Be Used For?
Polynucleotides are one of the most versatile treatments we offer at Secret Skin Aesthetics. Though they're primarily used for skin regeneration and anti-ageing purposes, they can also effectively address acne scarring, hydration, under eye discolouration and even hair loss.
​
When injected into the skin, Polynucleotides stimulate collagen production, promote tissue regeneration, improve skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
​
These naturally occurring molecules provide essential building blocks for repairing and revitalising the skin, leading to a smoother, more radiant complexion.
