Polynucleotides
Polynucleotides
Polynucleotides is an injectable skin booster that improves the quality, texture and appearance of your skin providing a natural glow and radiance. They encourage regenerative and anti-ageing effects by acting as food or medicine for the cells – stimulating the production of collagen and elastin.
Polynucleotides are bio stimulatory and have an ability to improve your skin over time by encouraging your skin to behave better. By improving the extracellular matrix, along with anti-inflammatory properties, Polynucleotides are an exceptionally powerful, injectable moisturising treatment.
Suitable for men and women aiming to rejuvenate their skin without adding volume, reducing lines, firming the skin, boosting hydration and reducing puffiness.

Polynucleotides (full name polydeoxyribonucleotides) are long chains of nucleotides that make up DNA and RNA molecules. They are derived from fragments of fish DNA (which resemble human DNA), which means they have the ability to function as a biostimulator, kick-starting regeneration in the skin.
When administered by an experienced and medically trained practitioner the procedure is very safe with complications being extremely rare. All our practitioners are medically trained and have undergone accredited training offering you complete peace of mind. Known side effects include swelling, bruising and infection.
