As summer arrives in London, achieving a natural, healthy glow becomes a priority for many seeking to enhance their skin’s radiance. Polynucleotide treatments represent one of the most advanced approaches to skin regeneration, offering a sophisticated solution for those wanting to achieve luminous skin through professional, evidence-based methods. Dr. Goziem at Alcove Aesthetics brings her expertise in aesthetic medicine to deliver exceptional polynucleotide treatments for patients across St James, Mayfair, and Central London.
Understanding Polynucleotides: The Science of Skin Regeneration
Polynucleotides are purified DNA fragments that work at the cellular level to stimulate natural skin repair and regeneration processes. Unlike topical treatments that work only on the skin’s surface, polynucleotides penetrate deeper layers to encourage cellular renewal, collagen production, and improved tissue quality from within.
Dr. Goziem, who graduated with distinction from her Master’s degree in Aesthetic Medicine at Queen Mary University of London, explains the mechanism: “Polynucleotides essentially provide the building blocks that cells need to repair and regenerate themselves. This creates improvements in skin texture, hydration, and overall radiance that appear completely natural because they’re generated by your own cellular processes.”
The Summer Advantage for Polynucleotide Treatments
Summer presents unique opportunities for polynucleotide treatments, particularly in London’s climate. The increased cellular activity that occurs during longer daylight hours enhances the body’s natural repair processes, potentially amplifying the benefits of polynucleotide therapy.
Key summer advantages include:
- Enhanced circulation supporting nutrient delivery to treated areas
- Increased vitamin D synthesis supporting cellular function
- Improved lymphatic drainage helping treatment integration
- Optimal healing conditions in moderate temperatures
- Natural boost to collagen production processes
Polynucleotide Treatment Areas and Benefits
Facial Rejuvenation
Facial polynucleotide treatments address multiple concerns simultaneously, making them ideal for achieving an overall summer glow. The treatment stimulates natural processes that improve:
Skin Texture: Enhanced cellular turnover creates smoother, more refined skin texture that reflects light better, contributing to a natural radiance.
Hydration Levels: Polynucleotides improve the skin’s ability to retain moisture, creating the plump, dewy appearance associated with healthy, glowing skin.
Fine Lines and Wrinkles: By stimulating collagen production, polynucleotides help soften fine lines whilst preventing formation of new ones.
Overall Radiance: The combination of improved texture, hydration, and cellular function creates the luminous appearance many seek for summer.
Neck and Décolletage Enhancement
Often overlooked in skincare routines, the neck and décolletage areas benefit significantly from polynucleotide treatments. These areas are frequently exposed during summer months and can show signs of aging or sun damage that detract from an overall youthful appearance.
Dr. Goziem’s background in oral and maxillofacial surgery at Cambridge University Hospitals provides detailed understanding of neck anatomy, ensuring safe and effective treatment of these delicate areas.

- Application of topical anaesthetic if needed
- Strategic injection placement using sterile technique
- Post-treatment assessment and aftercare instructions
- Follow-up planning for optimal results
Recovery and Integration
One of the significant advantages of polynucleotide treatments is the minimal downtime required. Most patients can return to their normal activities immediately, making it ideal for busy London lifestyles.
Immediate post-treatment considerations include:
- Possible mild swelling or redness lasting 24-48 hours
- Avoiding excessive heat or sun exposure for 48 hours
- Gentle skincare routine for the first few days
- Staying well-hydrated to support the treatment process
Timeline for Summer Glow Results
Initial Response (1-2 weeks)
The first signs of improvement typically appear within one to two weeks, with enhanced skin hydration and a subtle improvement in texture. Many patients notice their skin appears more radiant and feels smoother to the touch.
Progressive Improvement (4-8 weeks)
As cellular regeneration processes accelerate, more significant improvements become apparent. Skin texture continues to refine, fine lines soften, and the overall glow becomes more pronounced.
Peak Results (8-12 weeks)
The full benefits of polynucleotide treatment typically manifest between 8-12 weeks post-treatment. At this stage, patients often report receiving compliments about their skin’s appearance and feeling more confident in their natural radiance.
Sustained Benefits (3-6 months)
With proper skincare and sun protection, the benefits of polynucleotide treatment can be maintained for several months. Many patients choose to have maintenance treatments to preserve their enhanced skin quality.
Combining Polynucleotides with Summer Lifestyle
Sun Protection Integration
While polynucleotides improve skin quality, proper sun protection remains essential for maintaining results and preventing new damage. Dr. Goziem provides comprehensive guidance on integrating treatment benefits with sun safety practices.
Recommended protocols include:
- Broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily application
- Reapplication every two hours during extended outdoor exposure
- Physical protection through clothing and accessories
- Seeking shade during peak UV hours
- Using antioxidant-rich skincare to support skin protection
Hydration Support
Summer activities and increased temperatures can challenge skin hydration. Polynucleotide treatments enhance the skin’s natural moisture retention, but supporting this with appropriate hydration strategies maximises benefits.
Makeup and Skincare Compatibility
Enhanced skin quality from polynucleotide treatment often allows for lighter makeup application during summer months. Many patients find they can achieve their desired look with minimal products, embracing a more natural appearance.
