Polynucleotides


What are Polynucleotides?
Polynucleotides are long chains of nucleotides - the building blocks of genetic material. They form the structural basis of DNA and RNA, the molecules responsible for storing and transmitting genetic information in living cells.
Each nucleotide contains:
-
A nitrogenous base
-
A sugar molecule
-
A phosphate group
When linked together, these components form a polynucleotide chain that supports cellular repair, regeneration, and overall tissue health.
How Polynucleotides Work in Aesthetic Medicine?
In regenerative and aesthetic treatments, purified polynucleotides are injected into the skin to stimulate natural repair processes. Rather than simply adding volume like traditional fillers, polynucleotides:
-
Stimulate fibroblast activity
-
Support collagen and elastin production
-
Improve skin elasticity and firmness
-
Enhance hydration
-
Reduce inflammation
-
Promote tissue regeneration
They work at a cellular level to improve overall skin quality, making them ideal for patients seeking natural-looking rejuvenation.
Where Can Polynucleotides Be Injected?
Polynucleotide treatments are versatile and can be used in multiple areas of the face and body.
Facial Treatment Areas
Under-Eye Area (Tear Trough)
-
Improves dark circles
-
Reduces crepey skin
-
Enhances skin thickness
-
Softens fine lines
Cheeks
-
Improves skin texture
-
Boosts elasticity
-
Restores radiance
Perioral Area (Around the Mouth)
-
Softens fine lines
-
Improves skin firmness
Forehead
-
Smooths fine lines
-
Enhances overall skin quality
Neck & Décolletage
-
Improves laxity
-
Reduces fine lines
-
Enhances hydration
Who Is Suitable for Polynucleotide Treatments?
Polynucleotide injections are suitable for individuals who:
-
Have early signs of ageing
-
Experience skin thinning
-
Want subtle, natural rejuvenation
-
Prefer regenerative treatments over volumising fillers
They are particularly effective for delicate areas such as the under-eye region, where traditional fillers may not always be suitable.
Treatment & Results
-
Minimal downtime
-
Gradual, natural improvement
-
Typically performed as a course of 2–3 sessions
-
Results improve over several weeks as collagen production increases
Polynucleotides focus on improving skin health from within, delivering long-term skin quality enhancement rather than immediate volume change.
