Polynucleotides are a new and exciting addition to the field of pro-aging and regenerative medicine. By stimulating fibroblast cells, polynucleotides boost collagen production resulting in improved skin elasticity and firmness.
They also improve hydration as well reducing free radical damage to the skin (which is one of the key causes of aging).
Polynucleotides are particularly effective in treating dark under eye circles, puffiness and hollows.
2 treatments (approximately 2-4 weeks apart) are advised for optimal results.
Dr Fiona & Dr Carole use cannulas (rather than needles) to inject polynucleotides a so the majority of people find it painless. Topical anaesthetic is available if necessary.
The procedure itself takes no more than 10 minutes. However a thorough medical consultation is required prior to this to ensure this is the right treatment for you.
Results can be seen immediately depending on the area treated. The under eye generally demonstrates a significant difference immediately after treatment. A repeat treatment is required 2 weeks after the first and the optimal results are seen 4-6 weeks later.
The results can last up to 6 months depending on a variety of lifestyle and patient specific factors. This is a maintenance treatment so we recommend that it is repeated at 6 months.
