What Are Polynucleotides?
Polynucleotides are an advanced skin booster treatment used to support skin regeneration and improve visible signs of ageing. Made up of long chains of DNA, they work at a cellular level to stimulate repair and encourage collagen production, helping to improve skin texture, firmness, elasticity and overall skin quality over time.
​
At our clinics in Hampshire, we use polynucleotides derived from purified fragments of salmon DNA, chosen for their close compatibility with human DNA and their regenerative properties.
​
Treatment is delivered through a series of gentle microinjections, typically carried out over two to three sessions, allowing the skin to gradually repair and strengthen.
Following treatment, small raised areas may be visible on the skin, which usually settle within 72 hours as the product is absorbed.
What Can Polynucleotides
Be Used For?
Polynucleotides are a versatile skin regeneration treatment that can be used to improve overall skin quality and address a range of concerns.
Rather than adding volume, Polynucleotides work by supporting the skin’s natural repair processes, making them ideal for areas where the skin is thinner or more delicate. They can be used to -
Improve skin texture and tone - Helping to smooth uneven texture and improve overall skin quality.
Increase firmness and elasticity - By stimulating collagen production, the skin becomes stronger, firmer and more resilient over time.
​
Reduce the appearance of fine lines - Supporting skin regeneration can soften fine lines, particularly in fragile areas.
Treat delicate areas - Including the under-eye area, face, neck and décolletage, where traditional fillers may not be suitable.​​
