Treatment Spotlight: POLYNUCLEOTIDES

Polynucleotides are filtered and ultra-purified natural DNA fractions (from fish) that can be injected into the skin or under the eyes to initiate your body’s fibroblast production. This will in turn help reduce fine lines, improve pigmentation and leave the face looking fresher, lifted and tighter.


It is a clear gel that is gently injected into the skin into specific areas using a needle or cannula and works deep at a cellular level. Once the polynucleotides have been administered, the skin starts the bio-stimulation process.


What Can Polynucleotides Treat?


  • Loose and Lacklustre Skin

  • Dehydrated Skin

  • Stretch Marks and Scars

  • Stressed Skin

  • Fine Lines and Wrinkles

  • Under Eye Hollows

  • Puffy Eyes and Under Eye Bags

  • Under Eye Bags



Polynucleotides offer a wide range of immediate and longer term, ski-boosting benefits, hydrating, plumping and stimulating the skin’s own repair process.


The treatment will work to remove harmful free radicals and uses antioxidant activity to strengthen and repair the skin. The skin looks more radiant with a more even tone and fine lines disappear.


Benefits of Polynucleotides


  • Versatile: Suitable for all skin types who have dull and dehydrated skin, skin exposed to oxidative stress, ageing and lax skin and can be used on the face, neck, décolleté, underarms, hands…anywhere!


  • Quick and Long-lasting Results: Most patients see significant improvement after just one session, though two sessions are recommended. The results last approximately 6 months.


Does it hurt?

No, there is minimal discomfort. A numbing cream will also be applied first, and a full consultation will be conducted to answer any of your questions and to put you at ease if you are nervous at all.

What is the downtime?

There is minimal downtime. You may have some redness and raised bumps from where the injection but this will calm down very quickly.

Will I see a difference straight away?

Yes you will, and especially after your 2nd treatment. We recommend two treatments in two-week intervals initially.

How much does it cost?

Polynucleotides for face or eyes costs start from £275 per session. Packages are available should you wish to treat both areas at the same time.

Can I continue with my normal skin care routine, including active ingredients?

Yes, you may cleanse and adopt a simple routine for a couple of days post-treatment. Remember your SPF every single day!


Dr Amrita Bhogal will give you comprehensive post-care instructions and is always available should you have any questions.
