polynucleotides
Polynucleotide treatment to support skin regeneration and improve skin quality.
What are polynucleotides?
Polynucleotides are a powerful form of regenerative medicine made from highly purified strands of DNA fragments. Polynucleotides work at a cellular level focusing on restoring and repairing normal cellular structure. They initiate cell regeneration in the skin promoting cell turnover, stimulating tissue repair, boosting collagen production and improving skin elasticity.
Polynucleotides activate fibroblasts which are the essential cells in the dermis responsible for producing collagen, elastin and other structural components of the extracellular matrix (ECM). As we age our fibroblast activity decreases leading to thinner, weaker and less elastic skin. Polynucleotides works by reactivating these vital cells to naturally promote cellular regeneration, collagen production, elastin synthesis, strong hydrophilic (water attracting) properties and anti-inflammatory action.

frequently asked questions
-
Polynucleotides are purified DNA fragments that stimulate the skin’s natural regeneration process. They activate fibroblasts (cells responsible for producing collagen and elastin) to help restore firmness, elasticity and hydration.
Their strong water-binding properties improve deep skin hydration, while their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects help to calm and repair damaged or ageing skin.
By working at a cellular level, polynucleotides help repair tissue, improve overall skin quality and support long-term skin health.
By working at a cellular level Polynucleotides repair tissue, boost skin quality and support long term skin health.
-
We recommend 2-3 polynucleotide treatments spaced 4 weeks apart to achieve optimal results.
We then recommend a top-up treatment every 6-9 months to help preserve and enhance your results.

All make-up will be removed from the treatment area, so it is advisable to attend your appointment wearing little or no make-up. Do not drink alcohol for 24 hours before and after the procedure.
Blood-thinning medication should be discontinued 7 days prior to treatment, as this may increase the risk of bruising. This includes aspirin and ibuprofen (please check with your GP before stopping prescribed medication). You should also avoid St John’s Wort, fish oils, Gingko Biloba, and Vitamins C and E for 24 hours before treatment.
Avoid using topical skincare products such as Tretinoin, Retinols and Glycolic Acid for 3 days prior to treatment. Contact the clinic before treatment if you have any illness such as colds, coughs, sore throat or any skin infections.
You should also inform the clinic if you have any other procedures planned, including facials or dental appointments. Arnica tablets can be taken 3 days before treatment to help reduce the risk of bruising. Ensure you have eaten before treatment to decrease the chances of light-headedness.
-
You may experience redness after polynucleotide treatment, and bruising is possible which may take a few days to appear. Arnica can be helpful in reducing bruising.
Avoid wearing make-up for 12 hours after treatment. Avoid sunbathing and extremes of heat or cold for 14 days following treatment.
Avoid vigorous exercise for 48 hours after treatment. Contact the clinic if redness, tenderness, itching or swelling worsens after 3 days, rather than settling.
