Polynucleotide treatments take a regenerative approach to skin rejuvenation, working to support overall skin quality from within rather than adding volume or structural support. They are designed to stimulate the skin’s own repair and renewal mechanisms at a cellular level, producing gradual and sustained improvement over time.
Polynucleotides may help improve the appearance of:
Polynucleotides (also referred to as PDRN — polydeoxyribonucleotides) are biological molecules derived from highly purified sources. When introduced into the skin via injection, they act on cellular receptors to stimulate tissue repair, encourage regeneration and support the activity of fibroblasts — the cells responsible for producing collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid.
Unlike HA-based skin boosters that primarily deliver hydration, polynucleotides work at a regenerative level — improving the skin’s own capacity to renew itself. The result is a gradual and cumulative improvement in overall skin quality rather than an immediate surface change.
Results and individual response vary between clients.
Anita will assess your skin quality, discuss your goals and confirm whether polynucleotide treatment is the right approach and what your skin currently needs most.
The treatment area is cleansed and a topical numbing cream applied before the procedure begins.
Polynucleotides are administered via precise microinjections with placement guided by Anita’s assessment of where regenerative support is most needed.
Anita will discuss the recommended course structure and review your skin’s initial response following the session.
Mild redness, small swellings at injection points and temporary sensitivity are expected in the hours and days after treatment. These are normal and settle without specific intervention.
HA-based boosters primarily work by delivering hydration into the skin. Polynucleotides stimulate cellular repair and fibroblast activity, encouraging the skin to improve its own quality from within. Both can be appropriate depending on what the skin needs — Anita will advise at consultation.
Polynucleotide results are gradual and cumulative rather than immediate. Improvement typically becomes more apparent after multiple sessions as the skin’s regenerative activity builds progressively.
A course of three to four sessions is typically recommended initially. Anita will advise on the appropriate spacing and what a realistic result timeline looks like for your skin.
Yes. Polynucleotides are well suited to delicate areas including the under-eye, where crepey or thin skin can be difficult to treat effectively with other approaches.
No significant downtime. Injection-site reactions are expected and temporary, typically settling within a few days.
