Book a ConsultationWhat are polynucleotides?
Polynucleotides are purified DNA fragments, injected into the skin to support its natural repair and improve its quality over time.
They are usually derived from purified salmon or trout DNA, so we always ask about fish allergies first. They don't add volume or change the shape of the area.

How can polynucleotides help under-eyes?
Polynucleotides aim to improve thin, crepey under-eye skin, so it looks smoother, firmer and less tired.
Because they work on the skin itself, the change is gradual. Many people notice the area looks smoother and brighter a few weeks after their second session.
Who are polynucleotides for?
They suit thin, crepey skin best, especially under the eyes.
If pigmentation or hollowness is the main cause, a different or combined plan may work better. Polynucleotides aren't given during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or to anyone with a fish allergy.

Polynucleotides or Profhilo?
Profhilo is a hyaluronic acid treatment that hydrates and firms the whole face. Polynucleotides are a regenerative treatment often used for the delicate under-eye area. Some people benefit from both.
Every new patient starts with a £50 New Patient Consultation, which includes a full OBSERV 520x skin analysis. It shows what's happening beneath the surface, so your plan is based on what your skin needs.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about polynucleotides at our Solihull clinic.
They can improve thin, crepey skin that makes the area look darker, but on their own they don't treat pigmentation. Your skin analysis shows which applies to you.
Most people find it very manageable, especially with numbing cream. You may feel small pinches as the product is placed.
No. They are usually derived from fish DNA, so they aren't suitable if you have a fish allergy.
The improvement builds across the course. A top-up every six to twelve months can help maintain it.
