Polynucleotide Treatments
Elevate Your Skin’s Health and Appearance
Polynucleotides are naturally occurring molecules that offer a remarkable approach to skin rejuvenation. When injected as a clear solution, they help improve skin quality on a cellular level. This innovative treatment is ideal for hydrating the skin, reducing dark under-eye circles, smoothing fine lines around the eyes and lips, rejuvenating scars, and enhancing overall skin texture for a healthy glow.

Polynucleotides are recognised as the ‘Gold Standard’ in skin rejuvenation for their numerous benefits, including:
- Deep hydration for a plump, youthful appearance
- Reduction of fine lines and wrinkles
- Enhanced skin elasticity and texture
- Improved appearance of scars and dark circles

The Polynucleotide Treatment Process
- Consultation and Assessment
During your initial consultation, Dr. Philips will take time to understand your concerns and desired results. This assessment ensures that polynucleotide treatment is the best option for you. Treatment
You can choose to receive your first treatment on the same day as your consultation or schedule it for a later date. Typically, you will require 2-3 treatments spaced 2-4 weeks apart.Injection Technique
Using either a needle or cannula, the polynucleotide solution is carefully injected into targeted areas such as the under-eye region, cheeks, mouth, or neck. This strategic placement stimulates collagen production, enhances skin texture, and reduces the appearance of fine lines and dark circles.Post-Treatment Care and Recovery
Recovery from needle injections may involve some downtime due to the potential for minor bruising or swelling. However, using a cannula generally results in little to no downtime.Follow-Up and Results
The treatment regimen usually consists of 3 sessions, with follow-up treatments recommended every 6-12 months to maintain your results. While some improvements may be noticeable soon after treatment, the full benefits typically manifest several months later.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are Polynucleotides?
Polynucleotides are natural, biocompatible molecules derived from DNA that stimulate cell regeneration, improve hydration, and promote collagen production. They work at a cellular level to repair and rejuvenate the skin, making it healthier and more radiant.
What is the difference between Polynucleotides and skin-booster injections?
While both treatments hydrate and rejuvenate the skin, polynucleotides go a step further by actively repairing tissue and stimulating cell regeneration. Skin boosters focus primarily on delivering moisture, whereas polynucleotides improve overall skin health and structure.
How do Polynucleotides differ from other aesthetic treatments like fillers or anti-wrinkle injections?
Polynucleotides enhance skin quality by repairing and regenerating tissue, while fillers add volume and anti-wrinkle injections relax muscles to reduce fine lines. Polynucleotides work to improve the skin’s foundation, resulting in long-term rejuvenation.
What skin concerns can Polynucleotide treatments address?
Polynucleotide treatments can improve skin hydration, elasticity, and firmness. They also reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, pigmentation, and signs of aging. Additionally, they can help with skin conditions like rosacea and sun damage.
How many treatments do I have to do before seeing results?
Results vary, but most people see noticeable improvement after 2 to 3 sessions, spaced a few weeks apart. Optimal results are typically achieved with a series of treatments, followed by maintenance sessions.
How is the Polynucleotide procedure performed?
The procedure involves a series of small injections into the target area using a fine needle. The treatment is quick, typically lasting around 30 minutes, and requires minimal downtime.
Is the Polynucleotide treatment painful?
Discomfort is minimal, a topical numbing cream is usually applied before the procedure. Some patients experience slight stinging during the injections, but it is generally well tolerated.
How long do the results of Polynucleotide treatments last?
Results can last between 6 to 12 months, depending on individual factors like skin type, age, and lifestyle. Regular maintenance treatments help prolong the benefits.
Can Polynucleotides be combined with other aesthetic procedures?
Yes, polynucleotide treatments complement other procedures like fillers, anti-wrinkle injections, microneedling, and laser treatments. Combining treatments can enhance overall results.
What is the pre-treatment advice before Polynucleotides?
Avoid alcohol, blood-thinning medications, and anti-inflammatory drugs for at least 24 hours before your appointment. Refrain from using active skincare ingredients like retinoids and AHAs a few days prior to treatment.
What is the post-treatment advice after Polynucleotides?
After treatment, avoid makeup, strenuous exercise, and sun exposure for 24 hours. Keep the skin clean and hydrated, and follow any specific aftercare advice from your practitioner to ensure optimal healing and results.
