Polynucleotide Treatments
Regenerative injectable treatments designed to improve skin quality, hydration, elasticity and repair from within.
Why Choose Polynucleotide Treatments?
Polynucleotide treatments are regenerative injectable treatments designed to support skin repair, hydration and overall skin quality from within. Rather than adding volume or changing facial structure, they work by helping tired, damaged or ageing skin function more effectively.
They are often chosen for concerns such as fine lines, crepey texture, loss of elasticity, dullness, under-eye fatigue and skin that feels weakened or dehydrated.
Here’s why they’re becoming one of the most popular regenerative skin treatments:
Skin Repair & Regeneration
Supports the skin’s natural repair processes, helping to improve skin quality over time.
Improved Elasticity & Firmness
Helps strengthen the skin structure, improving bounce, resilience and firmness.
Deep Hydration Support
Encourages a healthier skin environment, improving hydration and overall radiance.
Fine Line & Texture Improvement
Can help soften the appearance of fine lines, crepey skin and rough texture.
Natural-Looking Results
Results develop gradually, giving a refreshed and healthier appearance without adding volume.
Versatile Treatment Areas
Suitable for areas such as the face, under-eyes, neck, décolletage and other delicate skin zones.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are polynucleotides?
Polynucleotides are regenerative injectable treatments designed to support skin repair, hydration and overall skin quality. They work beneath the surface of the skin to help improve texture, elasticity and resilience over time.
How do polynucleotides work?
They work by supporting the skin’s natural repair processes and improving the skin environment. This can help with hydration, elasticity, collagen support and overall skin regeneration.
Are polynucleotides the same as skin boosters?
Not exactly. Skin boosters are mainly used to hydrate and improve glow, while polynucleotides are more regenerative. They focus on repair, skin quality, elasticity and long-term skin resilience.
What areas can be treated?
Common areas include the face, under-eyes, neck, décolletage and other areas where skin appears tired, crepey, thin or lacking elasticity.
When will I see results?
Results are gradual. Some people notice improvement within a few weeks, but best results usually develop over a course of treatments as the skin quality continues to improve.
How many sessions will I need?
A course is usually recommended, often spaced a few weeks apart. The exact plan depends on your skin concerns, treatment area and consultation assessment.
Is there any downtime?
Downtime is usually minimal. You may experience small bumps, redness, swelling, tenderness or bruising at injection points, which usually settle within a few days.
Are polynucleotide treatments safe?
When performed by a trained medical professional after a proper consultation, polynucleotide treatments are generally well tolerated. As with all injectable treatments, suitability, risks and aftercare will be discussed before treatment.
