A Smarter Way to Rejuvenate Your Skin
If your skin is starting to feel tired, crepey or less firm than it used to, there is now a way to restore its health and glow from within. Polynucleotides are one of the most exciting developments in aesthetics, and they are quickly becoming a favourite at our clinic in Central London.
Unlike traditional fillers, which add volume, polynucleotides work by supporting your skin’s natural ability to regenerate. They are ideal if you are looking for subtle, long-term improvement in tone, texture and hydration, without changing the way you look.
What Are Polynucleotides?
Polynucleotides are biostimulatory molecules derived from purified DNA. When injected into the skin, they help repair damaged tissue, boost collagen and elastin, and improve overall skin quality.
In simple terms, they tell your skin to heal, rebuild and restore itself. This makes them especially helpful for areas where the skin is delicate, dry or prone to early ageing, such as:
- Under the eyes
- Around the mouth
- Neck and décolletage
- Jawline and cheeks
They are also suitable for skin affected by sun damage, acne scarring or general dullness.
What Can Polynucleotides Help With?
Clients often choose polynucleotides for concerns such as:
- Dark under-eye circles and hollowing
- Fine lines and loss of firmness
- Crepey or fragile skin
- Post-acne texture and scarring
- Dull, dehydrated or uneven skin tone
Because polynucleotides stimulate the body’s own repair processes, the results develop gradually and look completely natural. You will not look different, just noticeably fresher and more well-rested.
What to Expect During Treatment
At Alcove Aesthetics, every treatment begins with a thorough consultation to assess your skin and create a personalised plan.
During the procedure:
- Numbing cream is applied to keep you comfortable
- A fine needle is used to inject the product into the skin
- Treatment typically takes around 30 to 45 minutes
- You may experience slight swelling or redness for 24 to 48 hours
Most clients have a course of 2 to 3 sessions, spaced a few weeks apart, to achieve the best results. Maintenance treatments can then be scheduled every 6 to 9 months.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are polynucleotides the same as fillers?
No. Fillers are used to add shape or volume, while polynucleotides work on skin quality. They are often chosen by clients who want natural improvement without changing their features.
Can they help with dark circles?
Yes. Polynucleotides are particularly effective in the under-eye area, where they improve hydration, reduce pigmentation and support collagen in the thin skin around the eyes.
Is there any downtime?
There may be some mild swelling, redness or tiny bumps after treatment, but these usually settle within a couple of days. You can return to work or social plans almost straight away.
Are the results permanent?
The effects are long-lasting but not permanent. Most people choose to maintain their results with top-up treatments every few months, depending on their skin needs.
