What are Polynucleotides?
Polynucleotide treatments offer an advanced approach to skin rejuvenation and healing, drawing on decades of clinical research and proven therapeutic applications. Using meticulously filtered, ultra-purified, and sterilized natural DNA fragments, our injectable serum delivers profound benefits and astonishingly visible results. Backed by over 70 years of clinical research, polynucleotides have demonstrated exceptional outcomes in medical treatments, particularly in promoting wound healing and tissue regeneration and this is where more recently Polynucleotides are being used in  aesthetic medicine offering revolutionary approach to skin care and rejuvenation.
These PNs possess antioxidant properties, effectively scavenging harmful radicals that can accumulate due to external factors such as pollution, stress, and UV rays. They activate your body’s natural fibroblast production. This process leads to a thicker and healthier epidermis, along with increased collagen production. Additionally, inflammation is reduced, resulting in restored youthful volume and enhanced skin hydration.
Benefits of Polynucleotide Treatments
Polynucleotide treatments offer a range of benefits, including:
- Enhanced Skin Rejuvenation: By stimulating cellular repair and regeneration, polynucleotides help to restore skin vitality and improve overall texture and tone.
- Improved Elasticity and Firmness: The treatment boosts collagen production, leading to firmer and more elastic skin.
- Hydration: Polynucleotides attract and retain moisture, providing deep hydration and a more youthful appearance.
- Reduction of Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Regular treatments can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, promoting smoother, younger-looking skin.

Frequently asked questions
Are Polynucleotides the same as dermal fillers?
Dermal fillers, composed of hyaluronic acid, serve to fill and draw in moisture to a specific area. In contrast, injectable Polynucleotide serum doesn’t physically fill the space, although it does possess a moisturising effect by attracting water. Beyond hydration, it functions as both an antioxidant and an internal communicator, stimulating the dermis to produce new skin cells in particular type 1 collagen, which visibly tightens the dermis.
What can Polynucleotides be used for?
Polynucleotides can be applied to various areas, encompassing the entire face and neck, the décolleté region, the delicate eye area (providing an alternative to tear trough dermal filler treatment), the abdomen, arms, and knees. Polynucloetides are also used as a hair loss treatment.
As a natural injectable focused on regeneration, Polynucleotides can be used in combination with other injectables and skincare procedures without any safety concerns.
These complementary treatments often involve laser resurfacing, radiofrequency therapy, dermal fillers, signature facials, and anti-wrinkle procedures.
What is the difference between Polynucleotide treatment and Profhilo treatment?
Polynucleotides represent the cutting-edge advancement in skin boosters, offering results that are equivalent to or even surpassing those of Profhilo, which is composed of Hyaluronic Acid. What sets Polynucleotides apart is their composition of DNA fragments, which actively stimulate fibroblasts in the skin. Additionally, Polynucleotides have anti-inflammatory properties, effectively eliminating free radicals from the dermal layer.
Profhilo excels as a skin hydrator, delivering a radiant, dewy complexion. In contrast, Polynucleotide treatments like Philart, Nucleofill, and Ameela provide a similar effect and are particularly suitable for areas such as the under-eye, where excessive water attraction may not be desirable.
What side effects are possible with Polynucleotides?
Unlike certain conventional dermal filler treatments, Polynucleotides carry no risk of occlusion, permanent lumping, blindness, or associated complications. This product boasts exceptional purity, and as of now, there have been no reported adverse reactions to it.
How many Polynucleotide treatments will I need?
The recommended treatment plan can vary based on your specific skin concerns, but as a general guideline, we typically suggest a series of 3-5 treatment sessions, spaced 2-4 weeks apart, for optimal results. Following these initial sessions, a maintenance session every 6 to 12 months is usually recommended. It’s important to note that you can expect to see continued improvements in the months following your initial treatment sessions.

Am I suitable for Polynucleotide treatment?
Polynucleotides are a safe and effective treatment for most people, treating a range of concerns, including aged skin, rosacea, hyperpigmentation, dull or dehydrated skin, and acne scarring.
As polynucleotides are a bio-stimulator derived from salmon DNA, the treatment is not recommended for those who are vegetarian or vegan.
When should I see results and how long should they last?
You should expect to see results within three months of completing the course of treatments and results should last for six months after this. Most people then go on to have single maintenance treatments every six – twelve months.
