Book a Consultation
Three-session course Gradual skin improvement Personalised treatment areas

Polynucleotides are designed for people who want to improve the quality of their skin without adding noticeable facial volume or changing the shape of their features.


The treatment uses purified polynucleotide fragments delivered through a series of small injections. These products are used to support hydration, elasticity and the appearance of fine lines, texture and tired-looking skin. Results develop gradually and individual responses vary.

What It Treats

Common concerns we treat

How It Works

Supporting your skin from within

Polynucleotides are placed within the skin using a series of small, carefully positioned injections. Rather than filling a line or creating facial structure, the treatment is intended to support the condition and appearance of the skin over time.


Depending on the formulation and area, treatment may help improve hydration, texture, elasticity and the appearance of fine lines. The product, technique and schedule are selected following consultation.

Is It Right For You?

A proper conversation

Polynucleotides may be suitable for adults concerned about fine lines, crepey texture, reduced elasticity, tired-looking eyes or an overall decline in skin quality. Treatment may not be appropriate during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or where there is an active infection, certain medical conditions, allergies or medication that affects suitability.


Some products are derived from fish sources, so allergies and the ingredients of the specific product must be checked carefully. Not sure if this is the right treatment for your concern?

Risks & Safety

Informed decisions matter

Temporary redness, tenderness, swelling, bruising, itching, discomfort and small raised bumps at the injection points can occur. Less common complications may include infection, persistent swelling, inflammatory reactions, nodules, asymmetry, allergic reaction and an unsatisfactory result.


We explain the risks, warning signs, aftercare and emergency contact procedure before you decide whether to proceed. Urgent symptoms must be reported immediately rather than waiting for a routine review.

Questions

FAQ

Polynucleotides primarily support skin quality rather than creating the structural volume associated with traditional dermal filler.

Pricing is consultation-led because different formulations, quantities and treatment areas require different plans. Your exact cost is confirmed before you proceed.

Certain formulations are designed for delicate eye areas. Suitability depends on your anatomy, concerns, medical history and the selected product.

Results develop gradually throughout the course. Timing varies according to the product, treatment area and individual response.

Downtime is usually minimal, but small raised areas, redness, tenderness, swelling or bruising may be visible after treatment.
