Polynucleotides are a regenerative treatment rather than a filler. They do not add volume. They improve the skin itself, stimulating repair, boosting hydration and thickening skin that has become thin, crepey or dull. Under the eyes they are the treatment I recommend most often.
Who it suits
Anyone whose main complaint is skin quality rather than shape. Thin, dark, crepey under eyes. Dull or dehydrated skin. Early fine lines. It is also a good option for people who are not ready for filler but want a visible improvement.
What to expect
A series of tiny injections just under the skin surface, after numbing cream. The treatment takes around thirty minutes. You may see small raised bumps immediately afterwards, which settle within a few hours.
Aftercare and downtime
Minimal. Avoid makeup for twelve hours, and heat, exercise and alcohol for twenty four. Results build gradually. Most clients notice the biggest change after the second session, and the skin keeps improving for weeks after the course finishes.

Questions I get asked
Do I need a course?
Yes, for a proper result. A single session helps, but the change people are hoping for comes from three sessions two to three weeks apart.
How long do results last?
Six to nine months for most people, then a top up session maintains it.
Can I have this with filler?
Yes, and they work well together. Polynucleotides improve the skin, filler restores shape. They are treating different problems.
