Polynucleotides are regenerative injectable treatments designed to support skin repair and improve overall skin quality. They work by helping the skin feel better hydrated, more resilient and healthier-looking over time, making them a popular option for people seeking subtle, natural-looking rejuvenation.
This treatment is often chosen for skin that appears tired, dull, fragile or in need of support. Rather than creating a dramatic change, polynucleotides are typically used to improve the condition of the skin itself, with results that develop gradually as the skin responds.
Polynucleotides are commonly chosen to improve overall skin quality and support a fresher, more rejuvenated appearance. They may be suitable for people who want to target delicate or ageing skin in a subtle way.

Polynucleotides are often chosen by people who want natural-looking results and healthier-looking skin rather than an overdone finish. The focus is on improving skin quality, hydration and freshness over time.
This treatment can be appealing if you want a regenerative approach that supports the skin itself. It is often selected for areas where skin appears fragile, crepey or tired, and can form part of a wider treatment plan designed around long-term skin health.
Your appointment will begin with a consultation to assess your skin concerns and discuss whether polynucleotides are suitable for you. A personalised treatment plan will then be created based on the area being treated and the results you hope to achieve.
During treatment, the product is carefully injected into the selected area using a precise technique. Treatment is usually straightforward and relatively quick, depending on the area being treated. Comfort measures may be used where appropriate, especially for more delicate areas.
Many people benefit from a course of treatments rather than a single session. A typical plan may involve an initial series of sessions spaced a few weeks apart, followed by maintenance treatments where appropriate.
The number of sessions recommended will depend on your skin concerns, the treatment area and your goals. Your practitioner will advise on a personalised plan during consultation.
Polynucleotide treatment usually involves minimal downtime. Some people may experience temporary redness, swelling, tenderness or small bumps at the injection sites immediately after treatment. These effects are generally mild and settle within a short time.
Aftercare advice will be given at your appointment and may include avoiding excessive heat, vigorous exercise and certain skincare products for a short period after treatment. Following the recommended aftercare helps support the best possible result.
