Polynucleotides are the latest breakthrough in regenerative medicine, designed to repair and rejuvenate your skin at a cellular level. Unlike traditional treatments that simply mask signs of ageing, Polynucleotides work from within to stimulate your body’s natural healing processes, restoring elasticity, hydration, and a youthful glow.
Our experienced aestheticians offer tailored Polynucleotide treatments in Birmingham, designed to revitalise your skin without adding artificial volume. Before we start your journey, you’ll sit down with one of our skin experts for a thorough consultation to understand your personal aesthetics goals and ensure this treatment is the perfect fit for you.
What are Polynucleotides and How Do They Work?
Polynucleotides are injectable biostimulators made from highly purified DNA fragments (often derived from salmon or trout DNA) that are biocompatible with human skin. While dermal fillers use hyaluronic acid to physically “fill” space, Polynucleotides act as “instruction manuals” for your cells.
When injected into the skin, they activate fibroblasts—the cells responsible for producing collagen and elastin. This process doesn’t just provide a temporary fix; it actually improves the structural integrity of your skin. The result is a firmer, smoother, and more radiant complexion that looks entirely natural.
A Polynucleotide session at Hello Skin Clinic usually takes around 30 minutes. While you may notice an initial “glow” quickly, the best results develop over several weeks as your skin regenerates itself. For optimal results, we typically recommend a course of 3 treatments spaced 2–4 weeks apart.
Benefits of Polynucleotide Treatments
Cellular Regeneration: Stimulates natural collagen and elastin for long-term skin health.
Natural-Looking Results: Improves skin quality, texture, and tone without changing your facial structure or adding volume.
Under-Eye Rejuvenation: One of the most effective treatments for dark circles, hollows, and “crepey” skin around the eyes.
Intense Hydration: Attracts water at a deep level to banish dullness and dehydration.
Minimally Invasive: Achieve a refreshed, youthful look with qminimal downtime and no surgery.
Frequently Asked Questions About Dermal Fillers
Do Polynucleotide injections hurt?
Most clients describe the sensation as a light pinch. We can apply a topical numbing cream to the treatment area to ensure you are as comfortable as possible throughout the procedure.
How long do the results last?
The regenerative effects of Polynucleotides typically last between 6 to 12 months. Maintenance sessions every 6 months are recommended to keep your skin looking its best.
Are Polynucleotides safe?
Yes, Polynucleotides are CE-marked and have a long history of use in clinical medicine for wound healing. Because they are highly purified DNA fragments, they are very well-tolerated by the body.
Are they suitable for everyone?
Most adults seeking skin rejuvenation are good candidates. However, as they are derived from fish DNA, this treatment is not suitable for individuals with a known fish or seafood allergy.
What side effects can I expect?
Similar to other injectables, you may experience minor swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection site. These symptoms are temporary and usually subside within 24 to 48 hours.
Can I have Polynucleotides if I’m pregnant or breastfeeding?
As a safety precaution, we do not perform injectable treatments on clients who are pregnant or breastfeeding. We look forward to welcoming you back once you have finished breastfeeding.
