A revolutionary regenerative injectable designed to heal and revitalize skin at a cellular level
Polynucleotide treatments are a revolutionary regenerative injectable designed to heal and revitalize skin at a cellular level. Derived from purified salmon or trout DNA, these biostimulators trigger the body’s natural repair mechanisms to stimulate collagen, boost hydration, and improve skin elasticity.
Instead of just filling or temporarily plumping the skin, polynucleotides work by prompting your cells to self-repair and regenerate:
While fillers add immediate volume to a specific area, polynucleotides rely on your body to rebuild its own foundational structure over time.
Botox temporarily freezes facial muscles to stop wrinkles, whereas polynucleotides improve the actual health, thickness, and elasticity of the skin itself.

Polynucleotides are one of the fastest‑growing regenerative treatments in aesthetics, known for improving skin quality, hydration, elasticity, and under‑eye texture. Below are the questions patients most often ask during consultations.
Polynucleotides are highly purified DNA fragments derived from natural sources. When injected into the skin, they stimulate cell repair, collagen production, hydration, and tissue regeneration, helping improve overall skin quality.
Polynucleotides are ideal for improving:
- Under‑eye hollowness or crepey texture
- Fine lines
- Skin laxity
- Dull or dehydrated skin
- Acne scarring
- Overall skin quality and elasticity
- Early signs of ageing
They are often chosen when patients want natural‑looking, subtle rejuvenation.
They act on the skin in several ways:
- Stimulating fibroblasts to produce collagen and elastin
- Improving hydration by increasing water‑binding capacity
- Reducing inflammation and supporting tissue repair
- Enhancing skin elasticity over time
The result is healthier, firmer, more radiant skin.
Common treatment areas include:
- Under‑eyes
- Full face
- Neck
- Décolletage
- Hands
- Acne‑scarred areas
The under‑eye region is one of the most popular due to its delicate nature and excellent response.
Most patients notice improvements gradually over 3–6 weeks, with continued enhancement over several months as collagen production increases.
A typical treatment plan involves 2–3 sessions, spaced 2–4 weeks apart.Maintenance sessions every 6–12 months help sustain results.
Yes. Polynucleotides have been used in medicine for decades and have a strong safety profile when administered by a trained medical professional.Your consultation includes a full assessment to ensure suitability.
Most patients experience only mild discomfort. Very fine needles are used, and numbing can be applied if needed.
Results typically last 6–12 months, depending on your skin quality, lifestyle, and maintenance plan.
No - although they are often compared.
- Skin boosters mainly hydrate the skin using hyaluronic acid.
- Polynucleotides stimulate regeneration, collagen, and tissue repair.
They can be used together for enhanced results.
Yes. They pair well with:
- Skin boosters
- Chemical peels
- Microneedling
- Anti‑wrinkle treatments
- Light‑based therapies
Your treatment plan is tailored to your goals and skin needs.
Yes — they are suitable for all skin tones and most skin types.Your consultation ensures the treatment is appropriate for your medical history and concerns.
No. Polynucleotides are not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Polynucleotides create subtle, natural improvements. Most patients simply look fresher and more rested over time.
