POLYNUCLEOTIDES
Polynucleotides are injectable treatments that improve skin quality, hydration and firmness by encouraging the skin to regenerate and repair itself.
-
Increases hydration and moisture retention
Supports collagen and elastin production
Enhances skin firmness and elasticity
Helps improve crepey or thinning skin
Reduces the appearance of fine lines
Promotes skin repair and regeneration
Improves overall skin radiance
Suitable for preventative and corrective ageing treatments
-
The treatment involves a series of carefully placed injections that deliver polynucleotides into the skin to support the skin's natural regenerative processes and improve overall skin quality.
Immediately after treatment, you may experience small bumps, mild redness or slight swelling at the injection sites. These effects are temporary and typically settle within 24–48 hours.
Over the following weeks, the skin begins to benefit from increased hydration, improved elasticity and enhanced tissue repair, with results continuing to develop as collagen production is stimulated.
-
Polynucleotides are typically recommended as a course of treatments to achieve the best results.
Most clients benefit from an initial course of three treatments spaced 2–4 weeks apart, followed by maintenance treatments as advised by your practitioner.
Results develop gradually, with improvements in hydration, texture, firmness and skin quality continuing over the weeks following treatment.
UNDER-EYES
The under-eye area is one of the first areas to show change.
Skin here can become thinner, crepey and more fragile over time, often leading to a tired appearance that isn’t resolved with skincare alone.
Polynucleotides are used in this area to:
• improve skin thickness and strength
• reduce crepiness and fine texture
• support better hydration within the skin
• create a smoother, more refreshed appearance
This is particularly suited to clients who feel the under-eye area looks tired, fragile or aged, but do not want volume added.
HANDS
The hands are often overlooked but can show visible changes in skin quality as they age.
Skin can become thinner, more delicate and less even in appearance.
Polynucleotides help to:
• improve skin thickness and strength
• enhance texture
• support overall skin condition
Helping the hands appear more consistent with the rest of the skin.
FULL FACE & NECK
When used across the face and neck, polynucleotides focus on improving overall skin quality and resilience.
As collagen slows and the skin becomes less structured, texture can change and the skin may appear less firm.
This treatment helps to:
• improve skin elasticity
• support collagen production
• strengthen the skin
• improve overall texture and consistency
Results develop gradually, with the skin appearing stronger, smoother and more balanced over time.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
