Polynucleotide treatments have a visible, positive effect on the health and appearance of the skin. They can be used to treat the body, neck and face, including the jawline, cheekbones, eyes and lips.

We use polynucleotides to:

●     boost skin elasticity

●     regenerate, smooth and brighten knees, elbows and decolletage

●     soften wrinkles and crepiness

●     minimise scars, brown spots and stretch marks

●     reduce pigmentation, hollowness and dark circles under the eyes

●     calm inflammation

●     help to stimulate the production of natural hyaluronic acid, adding visible hydration to face and body, and

●     add strength and thickness to hair and eyebrows.

Treatment plan:

A full course of treatment requires three sessions, two weeks apart. We recommend a single top-up session as needed (approximately every 6 months).

Results:

The full effects develop over about three months, but your skin will be visibly brighter and healthier within about six weeks. Many patients see some results after the first session.

Note:

polynucleotide treatments are performed under local anaesthesia to minimise discomfort.

1. A single polynucleotide treatment session takes about 45 minutes, which includes a detailed consultation with your doctor.
2. First, we apply numbing cream and make a small number of local anaesthetic injections into the treatment area.
3. We then place small amounts of injectable polynucleotide serum into the treatment area. 

Polynucleotides are an increasingly popular option for eyes. They act on both pigmentation and hollowness to lighten dark circles, smooth out crow’s feet and give the face a brighter, smoother and more wide-awake look.

Polynucleotides also provide a solution for the many people who cannot be treated under the eyes with traditional tear trough filler. In this case, our doctors may recommend Polynucleotide treatment for the eyes.

Polynucleotides are proteins derived from the DNA of salmon or trout sperm.

Patients should not be treated with polynucleotides:

• during pregnancy or an active herpes outbreak, or
• if they are allergic to fish.

Note:

Vegans and vegetarians may also prefer to avoid this treatment.
