TREATMENT
Polynucleotides
A cutting-edge treatment in medical aesthetics, rejuvenating and repairing the skin by enhancing cellular regeneration offering anti-inflammatory effects, soothing the skin, reducing redness, and providing deep, long-lasting moisture.
Polynucleotides are long chains of nucleotides, which are the basic building blocks of DNA and RNA. In medical aesthetics, they are used primarily for their regenerative and healing properties. Polynucleotides are emerging as innovative agents for skin rejuvenation and repair. These biocompatible and naturally occurring molecules offer a range of benefits for improving skin quality, texture, and overall appearance.
Polynucleotides in aesthetic treatments work by:
stimulating cell regeneration: promoting the proliferation of fibroblasts, the cells responsible for producing collagen and other extracellular matrix components.
enhancing tissue repair: improving the skin’s natural repair processes, leading to faster healing and regeneration of damaged tissues.
improving hydration: increasing the skin's hydration levels by enhancing the extracellular matrix, which helps retain moisture.
The primary benefits are skin rejuvenation, hydration, wrinkle reduction, accelerated healing to help reduce scarring, and anti-inflammatory properties to soothe irritated skin and reduce redness.
Polynucleotides in medical aesthetics represent a cutting-edge approach to skin rejuvenation and repair. By leveraging the natural regenerative properties of these molecules, polynucleotide treatments can significantly enhance skin quality, promote healing, and provide a youthful, refreshed appearance.

FAQs
-
The treatment involves micro-injections of polynucleotides into the dermis using fine needles. The procedure is minimally invasive and typically takes about 30 minutes, depending on the treatment area.
-
A typical treatment plan includes 2-4 sessions spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart. Maintenance treatments are recommended every 4-6 months to sustain the results.
-
Results can start to appear within a few weeks as the skin begins to regenerate and improve in texture and hydration. Full results are usually visible after the completion of the treatment series. The effects typically last for several months, with maintenance treatments helping to prolong the benefits
-
Polynucleotide treatments are generally safe with minimal side effects. Possible side effects include temporary redness, swelling, or mild bruising at the injection sites. These effects usually resolve within a few days.
-
Treatment cost is dependent on patient requirements and desired results. During your consultation a personalised treatment plan is created, expectations set and costing clarified. The average Polynucleotide treatment starting price is £200.
-
Pre-treatment: Avoid alcohol, aspirin, and anti-inflammatory medications for at least 24 hours before the treatment to reduce the risk of bruising.
Post-treatment: Avoid strenuous exercise, extreme temperatures, and direct sunlight for 24 hours post-treatment. Follow any additional aftercare instructions provided by your practitioner.
