5 Signs It’s Time to Try Polynucleotides

Doctor-led regenerative skin rejuvenation in Mayfair, London

If your skin is starting to look tired, dull or less elastic, it may be time to move beyond surface treatments and focus on regeneration. Polynucleotide therapy is one of the most advanced anti-ageing treatments available designed to heal, hydrate and rebuild skin from within.

At Alcove Aesthetics by Dr Goziem Onuchukwu, we use premium medical-grade polynucleotides to restore collagen, firmness and radiance naturally. Here are five key signs your skin could benefit from this breakthrough treatment.


1. Your Skin Feels Thinner or Less Elastic

Loss of elasticity is one of the earliest indicators of collagen decline. Polynucleotides stimulate fibroblast activity, encouraging the skin to produce new collagen and elastin — the structural proteins that keep skin supple and firm.

Patients notice their skin feels thicker, more resilient and youthful within a few weeks of treatment.


2. You Have Fine Lines That Don’t Smooth with Moisturiser

When topical products no longer make a difference, it’s often because hydration can’t reach the deeper dermal layers. Polynucleotides work on a cellular level to repair and rehydrate skin from within, improving texture and reducing fine lines without adding volume.

Dr Goziem frequently recommends polynucleotides for patients who want to refresh their under-eye area or early signs of ageing around the mouth and cheeks.


3. You’re Noticing Dullness or Uneven Tone

Skin that looks grey or fatigued often lacks oxygen and microcirculation. Polynucleotides boost tissue regeneration and cell turnover, revealing a smoother, more luminous complexion.

At Alcove Aesthetics, patients often see visible brightness after just one session, with optimal radiance after a course of three.


4. You’ve Tried Fillers or Skin Boosters but Want a More Natural Option

Unlike fillers, which add volume, polynucleotides encourage your skin to rejuvenate itself. They’re ideal if you prefer gradual, subtle enhancement rather than an instantly plumped look.

Dr Goziem sometimes combines polynucleotides with Skin Boosters or PRP to optimise hydration and collagen response for long-term skin health.


5. You Want to Prevent Early Signs of Ageing

Prevention is key. Starting regenerative treatments in your 30s or 40s can maintain collagen reserves and slow visible ageing. Polynucleotides help preserve firmness, refine pores and maintain that healthy “glow” long-term.


How Polynucleotides Work

Polynucleotides are highly purified DNA fragments (usually derived from salmon) that activate the skin’s natural healing processes. When injected into targeted areas, they:

  • Improve cell regeneration and hydration
  • Stimulate fibroblasts to produce collagen and elastin
  • Strengthen the extracellular matrix
  • Reduce inflammation and oxidative stress

At Alcove Aesthetics, all treatments are doctor-administered by Dr Goziem Onuchukwu BDS, MSc (Aesthetic Medicine) – ensuring precision and safety throughout.
