Polynucleotides
Discover the transformative power of Polynucleotides, an advanced injectable treatment designed to stimulate skin repair and regeneration using DNA fragments. This cutting-edge treatment enhances skin quality, boosts elasticity, reduces fine lines, addresses scarring, evens pigmentation, and more.
Derived from naturally occurring biocompatible molecules, Polynucleotides mimic human DNA, making them highly compatible with your skin cells. These molecules play a crucial role in producing collagen, elastin — key proteins that maintain youthful skin. Over time, the natural depletion of these components leads to fine lines, pigmentation, and skin laxity. By reintroducing Polynucleotides into the skin, we accelerate cell turnover to boost collagen and elastin production, restoring your skin’s vitality.
Particularly effective for rejuvenating the under-eye area, Polynucleotides also work wonders on the neck, cheeks, décolletage, and lower face, delivering comprehensive skin revitalisation.

Avoid Blood Thinners: Refrain from taking blood-thinning medications or supplements (e.g., aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, vitamin E, or gingko biloba) for at least 3-7 days before treatment to reduce the risk of bruising. Consult your doctor before stopping any prescription medications.
Alcohol and Caffeine: Avoid alcohol and caffeine for at least 24-48 hours before the procedure as they can increase the risk of swelling and bruising.
Skin Health: Ensure the treatment area is free of active skin infections, cold sores, rashes, or open wounds. If you have a history of cold sores, notify your practitioner in advance.
Avoid Other Treatments: Refrain from having chemical peels, laser treatments, or other cosmetic procedures on the treatment area for at least 2-3 weeks before your session.
Plan Around Events: Schedule the treatment with enough time (at least 1-2 weeks) before any major events to allow for any potential side effects such as redness, bruising, or swelling to subside.
Wear SPF: Do use sunscreen pre-and-post treatment to protect your skin. We will not be able to treat you if you have sunburnt skin.
Arrive Makeup-Free: If possible please arrive without makeup on the area/s to be treated.
Reschedule If Unwell: You MUST be fit and well for at least 2 weeks before receiving this treatment. We cannot treat you if you are currently unwell or if you have recently been unwell.

Avoid Touching the Area: Refrain from touching, massaging, or applying pressure to the treated area for at least 24 hours. This helps prevent infection and allows the product to settle properly.
No Makeup for 24 Hours: Avoid applying makeup or skincare products to the treated area for the first 24 hours to minimise the risk of irritation or infection.
Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated and optimize the effects of the treatment.
Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Refrain from hot showers, saunas, steam rooms, or intense exercise that causes sweating for 24-48 hours, as heat can exacerbate swelling and bruising.
Avoid Alcohol and Caffeine: Limit alcohol and caffeine consumption for 24-48 hours post-treatment, as they can increase swelling and delay the healing process.
Avoid Sun Exposure: Stay out of direct sunlight and avoid tanning beds for at least a week after treatment. Use sunscreen with a high SPF to protect the skin and prevent pigmentation changes.
Manage Swelling and Bruising: Mild swelling, bruising, and redness are common after treatment and should subside within a few days. You can apply a sterile cold compress gently to the area to reduce swelling. Arnica cream or tablets may help speed up the healing of bruising.
No Other Treatments: Avoid any other facial treatments (such as facials, chemical peels, or laser therapy) for at least 2 weeks to allow your skin to heal properly.
