What are polynucleotides?
A mixture of genetic material derived from fish tissue. These fragments of DNA can ​act to improve skin quality by increasing collagen production but also have antioxidant properties and mop up damaging free radicals.
​
This makes it an excellent choice for sun damaged skin or for ageing prevention.
Who is suitable for treatment?
Essentially, anyone who wants to improve their skin quality and use a product that works as an ageing preventative.
​
It an be used for the whole face or for rejuvenation of the undereye.
How is it done?
Injections are given to multiple points using a tiny needle. Small lumps will be left which resolve over 1-2 hours.
​
When first having treatment, it is recommended to have 2-3 rounds of injections spaced 2-3 weeks apart to get the best effects. You can then move to 4-6 monthly maintenance treatments.
​
The final effect of treatment often takes 3-4 months to fully develop so this is worth bearing in mind.
Are there any risks?
All medical injection-based procedures carry risks.
​
Most of these are simple and self-resolving such as bleeding, bruising, swelling.
​
There is a risk of infection but we reduce this by cleansing the skin pre-procedure.
​
Some individuals experience redness and discomfort for 12 hours post-injection. This does settle with time.
