Polynucleotides are one of the most talked-about treatments in aesthetics right now — and for good reason. Rather than filling or freezing, they work with your skin to improve its quality from within. Here's what they are and what to expect, from our nurse-led clinic near Eccleshall.

What Are Polynucleotides?

Polynucleotides are naturally-derived molecules that support the skin's own repair processes. When introduced into the skin, they help stimulate fibroblasts — the cells responsible for collagen and elastin — encouraging fresher, healthier, better-hydrated skin over time. They're often described as a "regenerative" or "skin-boosting" treatment.

What Do They Treat?

Polynucleotides are ideal for improving overall skin quality rather than changing your shape. They can help with:

  • Tired, dull or dehydrated skin that's lost its glow
  • Fine lines and early signs of ageing
  • Uneven texture and tone
  • Delicate areas such as under the eyes, where the skin is thin and crepey

How Are They Different From Filler?

This is the key distinction. Dermal fillers add volume and structure to change shape or restore fullness. Polynucleotides don't add volume — they improve the health and resilience of the skin itself. That's why they sit within our advanced skin treatments rather than our injectable contouring options, and why they pair so well alongside them.

What to Expect

Polynucleotides work gradually. Most people have a short course of treatments spaced a few weeks apart, with results building naturally over that time as the skin regenerates. There's no dramatic overnight change — instead, skin looks progressively fresher, plumper and more even, which is exactly the point.

Is It Right for You?

If you're less interested in changing your features and more in genuinely healthier, glowing skin, polynucleotides are well worth exploring. At your free consultation, Emilee — an NMC registered nurse — will assess your skin and advise honestly whether it's the right choice, or whether another skin treatment would suit you better.
