What Are Polynucleotides?
Polynucleotides are a next-generation regenerative injectable treatment that repair, hydrate, and rejuvenate the skin at a cellular level. Made from purified DNA fragments (often salmon DNA or PDRN), they are recognised by the body and encourage your own cells to regenerate.
Unlike Botox or dermal fillers, Polynucleotides do not freeze or fill, instead, they stimulate fibroblasts to produce new collagen and elastin, improve skin hydration, and strengthen the skin barrier. The result is smoother, firmer, healthier-looking skin that continues to improve over time.
What Can Polynucleotides Treat?
Polynucleotides are a versatile treatment that can be used across the face, under-eyes, neck, and body. They are particularly effective for areas that are difficult to treat with fillers or Botox. Common treatment areas and concerns include:
Under-eye skin quality, including dark circles, crepiness, and hollowing
Fine lines and wrinkles on the face, neck, and décolletage
Skin laxity and sagging caused by loss of elasticity
Dull, dehydrated, or tired-looking skin
Acne scars, textural irregularities, and sun damage
Redness, rosacea, and pigmentation issues
Treatment Journey: Typically, a full polynucleotide treatment course involves 2-3 sessions, with each session spaced out over several weeks to allow the skin to respond and regenerate. The beneficial effects can be maintained with follow-up treatments every 6-9 months, ensuring continued skin vitality.

How Do Polynucleotides Work?
Polynucleotides work by stimulating fibroblast activity, which triggers the production of collagen and elastin – the building blocks of firm, youthful skin. They also boost the skin’s natural levels of hyaluronic acid, improving deep hydration, and act as antioxidants to protect against free radical damage. Together, these effects repair damaged tissue, improve skin elasticity, and restore a healthier, fresher appearance.
Benefits of Polynucleotides
The key benefit of polynucleotides is that they restore skin health from within. Patients often notice their skin feels smoother, firmer, and more radiant after treatment. Because the results come from your own skin’s regeneration process, the outcome looks completely natural – simply a fresher version of you.
Additional benefits include longer-lasting results, typically 6–12 months after a course of treatment; suitability for delicate areas such as the under-eyes where fillers may not be ideal; visible improvements in hydration, elasticity, and overall skin quality; minimal downtime, with only mild redness or swelling that fades within 24–48 hours; and safety, since polynucleotides are biocompatible and clinically proven for skin repair and rejuvenation.
Treatment Experience
A typical course involves 2–3 sessions spaced a few weeks apart. Improvements in skin hydration are often visible within the first couple of weeks, while firmer, smoother results develop after completing the course. Maintenance treatments once or twice a year can help sustain results. Each session takes around 30 minutes, and most patients return to normal activities immediately after treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions about Polynucleotides Altrincham
-
Polynucleotides are regenerative injectable treatments made from purified DNA fragments, most commonly derived from salmon DNA (PDRN therapy). These DNA chains are biocompatible, meaning when injected, your body recognises them and uses them to trigger natural repair.
Once injected, polynucleotides act as bio-stimulators and improve collagen and elastin production, increase hydration, and repair damaged tissue.
Unlike many other aesthetic injectables, polynucleotides target the quality and health of the skin itself. They’re essentially skin care, but from inside out.
-
Most patients see visible improvements in hydration and skin quality within a few weeks of their first session, with firmer, smoother results developing after completing a course of treatments. Results generally last 6–12 months, with maintenance treatments helping to prolong skin improvements.
-
A course of 2–3 treatments spaced a few weeks apart is typically recommended for the best results.
-
Once injected, polynucleotides:
Stimulate fibroblasts — the cells responsible for producing collagen and elastin.
Improve hydration by boosting natural hyaluronic acid levels in the skin.
Neutralise free radicals — reducing oxidative stress and protecting skin from environmental damage.
Encourage tissue regeneration, making them effective for acne scars, sun damage, and other skin irregularities.
This multi-action process makes them a truly regenerative injectable rather than a cosmetic quick fix.
-
Polynucleotides can be used across the face, under-eyes, neck, décolletage, and body. The most common treatment areas are:
Under-eyes – improving dark circles, hollowness, and crepiness.
Face – reducing fine lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity.
Neck and décolletage – restoring firmness and hydration to delicate skin.
Acne scars or sun damage – encouraging tissue repair and evening skin texture.
-
Downtime is minimal — you may experience slight redness or swelling at injection sites, which usually settles within 24–48 hours.
