Polynucleotides are advanced injectable skin-regeneration treatments designed to support the skin’s natural repair processes and improve overall skin quality.
Rather than adding volume or changing facial contours, polynucleotides work within the skin to support hydration, elasticity and tissue quality, helping to improve the appearance of fine lines, crepey texture and tired or ageing skin.
At Sinéad Laura Aesthetics in Hill Head, Fareham, treatments are individually selected according to your skin, treatment area and concerns, with a focus on gradual, natural-looking rejuvenation.
What Are Polynucleotides?
Polynucleotides are purified chains of nucleotides — the building blocks that make up DNA.
Used as an injectable biostimulatory treatment, they are designed to support the biological processes involved in skin repair and regeneration, rather than simply adding volume to the area being treated.
The result is a treatment focused on improving the quality and appearance of your own skin.
What Can Polynucleotides Help With?
Polynucleotide treatments may help improve:
• Fine lines and crepey skin
• Skin hydration and elasticity
• Dull or tired-looking skin
• Loss of firmness and skin quality
• The appearance of ageing skin
• Delicate under-eye skin
• Overall skin texture and appearance
Different formulations can be selected according to the treatment area and individual skin concerns.
Polynucleotides for the Under-Eye Area
The delicate skin around the eyes is a particularly popular area for polynucleotide treatment.
Treatment can help support hydration, elasticity and overall skin quality, improving the appearance of fine lines and thin, crepey or tired-looking skin around the eyes.
Unlike dermal filler, polynucleotides are not designed to create volume beneath the eyes, offering a different approach to under-eye rejuvenation.
Where Can Polynucleotides Be Used?
Depending on individual suitability and the product selected, treatment may be suitable for areas including:
• Face
• Under-eyes
• Neck
• Décolletage
• Hands
• Selected areas of the body
The most appropriate treatment areas and product will be discussed during your consultation.
How Do Polynucleotides Work?
Polynucleotides are designed to support the skin environment and biological processes involved in repair and regeneration.
They are associated with supporting fibroblast activity — cells involved in maintaining important components of the skin, including collagen and elastin — while also supporting hydration and overall tissue quality.
Results are therefore progressive rather than instant, with the aim of creating gradual improvements in the quality and appearance of the skin.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
Polynucleotides are generally recommended as a course of treatments rather than a single appointment.
A typical initial course may involve 2–3 treatments approximately 2–4 weeks apart, although the exact protocol depends on the product used, treatment area, individual skin concerns and response to treatment.
Maintenance treatments may then be recommended to support results over time.
When Will I See Results?
Results develop gradually as the skin responds to treatment.
Over the weeks following your treatment course, you may notice improvements in hydration, texture, firmness, elasticity and overall skin quality, with the skin appearing fresher and more revitalised.
Results and timescales vary between individuals.
Is There Any Downtime?
Downtime is generally minimal, although this varies between individuals and according to the area treated.
Temporary redness, swelling, tenderness, bruising or small raised areas around the injection sites may occur following treatment.
Full aftercare guidance will be provided at your appointment.
Polynucleotides, Profhilo or Skin Boosters?
Although all three treatments can be used to improve skin quality, they have different formulations and treatment approaches.
Polynucleotides focus on supporting the skin’s regenerative processes and overall tissue quality.
Profhilo® uses stabilised hyaluronic acid and focuses particularly on hydration and improvements in skin quality and elasticity.
Skin boosters use injectable formulations designed to improve hydration, texture and radiance.
There is no single treatment that is best for everyone. The most appropriate option depends on your skin, treatment area, concerns and desired outcome.
