Perfect Image Polynuc

What are polynucleotides

Polynucleotides are highly purified DNA fragments that activate the skin renewal process.
When placed within the skin they encourage fibroblast activity, support collagen and elastin, and improve moisture retention.
Results build gradually for a natural and refreshed appearance without changes to facial expression.

Key Benefits of Polynucleotide Therapy

  • Improves overall skin firmness and elasticity
  • Boosts hydration and glow for dull or tired skin
  • Reduces fine lines and early signs of ageing
  • Encourages natural collagen and tissue regeneration
  • Smooths acne scars, enlarged pores, and uneven texture
  • Diminishes dark circles and puffiness around the eyes
  • Safe and suitable for both men and women, across all skin types

Common Treatment Areas

Who Is the Ideal Candidate

Polynucleotide therapy is suitable for anyone experiencing early to moderate signs of skin ageing, loss of elasticity, dehydrated or dull skin, sun-damaged or uneven complexion, fine lines, acne scars, or pigmentation. This treatment is particularly popular among patients looking for a natural alternative to dermal fillers or anti-wrinkle injections, with gradual yet long-lasting results.

What to Expect During and After the Procedure

Each session begins with a detailed consultation with one of our GMC-registered doctors. After assessing your skin and medical history, a personalised treatment plan will be created. The procedure typically lasts 30 to 45 minutes. A topical numbing cream may be applied to minimise discomfort. Tiny amounts of polynucleotide solution are then injected into the treatment area using a fine needle or cannula. Following the treatment, some patients may experience mild redness or swelling, which usually subsides within 24–48 hours. There is minimal downtime, and most clients return to their daily routine immediately. For optimal results, we generally recommend a course of 2–3 sessions, spaced 2–4 weeks apart. The full effects continue to develop over several months as collagen regeneration occurs naturally.
