If your under eyes look tired, hollow or crepey but you want a natural solution without using filler, polynucleotides have become one of the most effective doctor led treatments in Mayfair and Central London. At Alcove Aesthetics by Dr Goziem, many patients seek subtle rejuvenation that brightens and strengthens the delicate tear trough area without changing their facial structure. Polynucleotides support the skin from within, helping it repair, hydrate and rebuild itself in a way that looks completely natural.
This guide explains how non filler under eye rejuvenation works, who it is designed for, and why regenerative treatments are becoming the preferred choice for women in their 30s, 40s and beyond who want a refreshed look that remains true to their features.
Introduction
The under eye region is often the first to show signs of ageing. The skin here is thinner, collagen declines more rapidly and the effects of stress, travel, allergies and poor sleep can quickly appear as shadows or crepey texture. Many patients feel they look tired even when they feel well rested.
While filler can help in certain cases, it is not suitable for everyone. Some people experience puffiness after filler, others have naturally delicate tear trough anatomy, and many simply prefer a solution that focuses on strengthening the skin rather than adding volume. This is where regenerative treatments such as Polynucleotides offer a restorative, natural approach.
At Alcove Aesthetics on Pall Mall, Dr Goziem Onuchukwu specialises in precise, doctor led under eye rejuvenation that preserves your natural expression while improving brightness, elasticity and resilience.
What Polynucleotides Are and How They Work Under the Eyes
Polynucleotides are purified DNA fragments that activate the body’s own repair mechanisms. When carefully placed beneath the under eye skin, they stimulate fibroblasts to produce collagen, elastin and healthy extracellular matrix. This improves density, hydration and overall skin quality without adding volume, making them ideal for patients who want correction without the risks associated with filler in this sensitive area.
How polynucleotides help tired under eyes
- Improve collagen and elastin production
- Strengthen thin and fragile tear trough skin
- Smooth crepey texture
- Enhance hydration and elasticity
- Reduce inflammation that contributes to dark circles
- Support microcirculation for a healthier glow
- Restore brightness without altering your facial shape
Patients who benefit most often describe concerns such as:
- “I look tired all the time.”
- “My under eye skin is thin, crepey and hard to smooth with makeup.”
- “I want improvement but not volume.”
- “Filler made me puffy, so I want a natural alternative.”
For more advanced regeneration, polynucleotides may also be combined with regenerative treatments such as PRP depending on the needs identified during consultation.
Benefits and Results of Under Eye Rejuvenation Without Filler
Polynucleotide treatment is designed to rebuild the skin from within. Early improvements are seen in hydration and brightness, while deeper structural changes develop over the following months as collagen production increases.

- No added volume or changes to facial structure
- Stronger, smoother under eye skin

Your Treatment Journey
1. Consultation
Your journey starts with a detailed consultation at Alcove Aesthetics. Dr Goziem assesses your under eye structure, skin thickness, circulation, pigmentation and lifestyle factors that may be contributing to the tired appearance.
2. Treatment Planning
A bespoke plan is created. For most patients this includes a course of polynucleotide injections, sometimes combined with other regenerative treatments depending on your individual needs.
3. Treatment Procedure
Polynucleotides are gently injected using micro techniques designed for precision and comfort. The treatment takes around 20 to 30 minutes and is well tolerated with minimal discomfort.
4. Follow Up and Maintenance
Most patients require two to three sessions for optimal results. A maintenance session every 6 to 12 months helps support long term skin quality. Alcove Aesthetics provides full aftercare support at every stage.
Many patients choose to maintain whole face hydration with Skin Boosters to support long term glow and elasticity.
Recovery and Aftercare
Polynucleotide treatment has minimal downtime. Some mild redness or tiny marks may appear at the injection points for a short period. Most patients return to normal activities immediately, with makeup typically applied the next day.
