Polynucleotides are one of the most asked-about treatments at our Northampton clinic, and for good reason. They improve the quality of the skin itself rather than adding volume, which makes them a natural fit for anyone who wants to look fresher without looking "done".
What are polynucleotides?
Polynucleotides are purified DNA fragments, usually derived from salmon. Injected into the skin, they support the skin's own repair processes — encouraging collagen and elastin, improving hydration and calming inflammation. Think of them as a regenerative skin booster rather than a filler.
Who are they best for?
They are particularly popular for the delicate under-eye area: dark circles, crepey texture and fine lines that filler can't safely address. They are also used on the face, neck and décolletage for overall skin quality, and can help with acne scarring.
What happens at the appointment?
Every first visit starts with a consultation, so Nadya can check your medical history and confirm polynucleotides are the right choice. Numbing cream is applied, and the treatment itself takes around 20–30 minutes using a fine needle or cannula. Small bumps are normal for a few hours afterwards and settle quickly.
How many sessions do I need?
Most people need a course of two to three sessions, spaced around two to three weeks apart, with a maintenance session every six to twelve months. Results build gradually over the weeks following each session.
Polynucleotides vs dermal filler
Filler restores lost volume and shape. Polynucleotides improve the skin's quality and texture. For hollowness under the eyes, some clients benefit from both — but for thin, crepey under-eye skin, polynucleotides are often the safer and more natural first step.
