Polynucleotide Injections in Birmingham

Polynucleotides are a new generation of regenerative injectables that use purified DNA fragments to revitalise the skin from within. Unlike dermal fillers that simply add volume, polynucleotides act as biostimulators, encouraging your cells to repair and rebuild. At Hello Skin Clinic, we offer polynucleotide injections to improve hydration, elasticity and overall skin quality in a safe, private setting.

What are polynucleotide injections?

Polynucleotides are natural chains of nucleotides (the building blocks of DNA) sourced from biocompatible materials. When injected into the skin they stimulate fibroblasts, which leads to increased collagen and elastin production, improved hydration and enhanced tissue repair. They are particularly popular for delicate areas such as the under‑eye region, but can also treat the face, neck, décolletage and hands.

Benefits of polynucleotides

Deep hydration: Attract and retain moisture, plumping the skin and giving it a dewy appearance.
Improved elasticity: Boost collagen and elastin for firmer, more resilient skin.
Scar and fine line reduction: Support tissue repair, helping to soften acne scars and fine wrinkles.
Suitable for all skin tones: Unlike some chemical peels or lasers, polynucleotides are safe for darker skin types.
Minimal downtime: Most clients experience only minor swelling or redness that subsides within 24–48 hours.

Why choose Hello Skin Clinic?

We provide a halal‑friendly environment with experienced practitioners who customise each treatment to your needs. Our clinic follows strict hygiene standards, and you can request female‑only practitioners or Shariah‑compliant protocols. We will never oversell treatments and aim for natural, subtle results.

How polynucleotide treatments work

Consultation: We review your medical history and goals. Regulations for non‑surgical cosmetic procedures are evolving; a new licensing scheme under the Health and Care Act 2022 will categorise these treatments by risk【126037729884351†L115-L140】. Cosmetic injectables are not permitted for clients under 18【632697257834661†L137-L144】.
Preparation: The treatment area is cleansed and numbing cream may be applied for comfort.
Injection: Using a fine needle, we inject small amounts of polynucleotide solution into the superficial dermis. Typical areas include the under‑eyes, cheeks, neck and back of the hands.
Post‑treatment: Mild swelling or small raised papules can occur; these usually resolve within two days.

Who is a good candidate?

Polynucleotide injections are ideal for those seeking natural skin rejuvenation without adding volume. They work well for treating fine lines, dullness, mild scarring and signs of fatigue. However, they are not suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding individuals, or anyone with blood‑clotting disorders, uncontrolled diabetes or active skin infections【519433529849007†L210-L218】. Under‑18s cannot receive cosmetic injectables【632697257834661†L137-L144】. As with any treatment, a consultation is essential to assess suitability.

Treatment course

Most clients need two to three sessions spaced two to four weeks apart, followed by maintenance treatments every six to nine months. Each session takes about 30 minutes.

Aftercare

To optimise results and reduce the risk of side effects:

Avoid touching or massaging the treated area and stay upright for at least four hours【501766927697178†L285-L287】.
Skip strenuous exercise, alcohol and hot environments for 24 hours【501766927697178†L290-L293】.
Do not apply makeup or use active skincare products until the next day【501766927697178†L297-L300】.
Wear SPF 30+ daily and avoid tanning or sunbeds【501766927697178†L304-L307】.
Stay hydrated and follow any personalised advice provided at your appointment.

Frequently asked questions

How do polynucleotides differ from hyaluronic acid skin boosters?

Skin boosters (like Profhilo) use hyaluronic acid to hydrate the skin, while polynucleotides work at a deeper level to stimulate tissue regeneration. Both can improve skin quality, and they are sometimes combined for synergistic results.

When will I see results?

Improvements in hydration and radiance can appear within a few weeks. Collagen and elastin stimulation takes longer, so skin continues to improve over two to three months.

Is the treatment painful?

Discomfort is minimal. We can apply topical anaesthetic to sensitive areas, and the fine injections feel like small pinpricks.

Are there any risks?

Mild swelling, bruising or redness are common. Severe reactions are rare because polynucleotides are biocompatible. Following aftercare instructions greatly reduces risks.

Pricing and packages

We offer individual sessions and discounted packages. During your consultation, we will recommend the right plan based on your skin concerns and desired outcomes.
