Polynucleotides Treatment Guide: What It Is, Areas We Treat & What to Expect

Polynucleotides are an advanced regenerative injectable treatment designed to repair, rejuvenate and improve the quality of the skin from within. Rather than adding volume like dermal fillers, polynucleotides work by stimulating your body’s natural healing processes, encouraging collagen production, improving skin elasticity and boosting hydration. They are commonly used to treat the face, under-eye area, neck, décolletage and hands, helping to improve fine lines, skin texture and overall skin health. Mild redness, swelling, tenderness and small bumps at the injection sites are completely normal and will settle as the product begins to stimulate tissue regeneration. For the safest recovery and the best possible results, please follow the aftercare guide below.
