Polynucleotides

Polynucleotides are DNA fractions that have been highly purified and encapsulated in a gel that is injected into the treatment area to regenerate your skin cells, known as fibroblasts.

They stimulate collagen and elastin production, leading to rejuvenated skin with reduced wrinkles. Their regenerative properties help repair tissue and improve the look of scars and acne marks. Additionally, they have anti-inflammatory effects, combatting redness and irritation, and promote hydration for a plump and healthy complexion. They are generally safe and biocompatible, making them a suitable option for many individuals seeking skin improvement.

Being naturally derived, they are generally well-tolerated and have a low risk of allergic reactions, making them a safe option for many individuals.

A consultation with the Oatlands Aesthetics team will determine if it’s the best approach for your specific skin concerns and/or whether other treatments are recommended.

After thoroughly cleansing and preparing your skin, we’ll apply a topical anaesthetic to ensure your comfort.

Then, we’ll begin the process of administering the Polynucleotides. The amount required shall depend on your individual concerns and the size of the treatment area.

Treatment with Polynucleotides is fairly quick and straightforward, so you can get back to your usual activities almost immediately while following our aftercare guidance. Once your course of treatment is complete, we’ll conduct a follow-up appointment to review the final outcome and put a maintenance plan in place.

Yes.

Polynucleotides are an excellent option for treating dark circles, fine lines and wrinkles, and mild hollowness under the eyes. We will adjust the dose to suit the sensitive skin in this area and you can see fantastic results.

The results of polynucleotide treatment can be seen within weeks of treatment and can last up to 12 months.

Your skin will look smoother, brighter and more even in tone.

You will see an improvement in fine lines and wrinkles, pigmentation, redness, acne and scarring.

For best results we recommend two treatments (two to four weeks apart) with a top-up session around every nine to 12 months to maintain the results. Unlike dermal fillers which offer instant results, polynucleotide treatment requires some patience, with best results seen two to three months following treatment.

While Polynucleotides focus on regenerating aged and damaged skin cells to improve the appearance of skin, HA dermal fillers are designed to lift, revolumise and contour sagging skin to give you a more youthful shape and definition.

Skinboosters are excellent if you want to add hydration and improve the elasticity of your skin, but Polynucleotides are a better option if you want to regenerate skin cells to boost collagen production and tackle wider skin concerns such as hyperpigmentation, rosacea and scarring.

The two treatments can also complement one another.

While Profhilo uses hyaluronic acid to improve the tightness and texture of your skin, Polynucleotides address ageing concerns at the source by stimulating fibroblasts.

This enables them to help with tightness and texture, and other skin conditions such as hyperpigmentation and rosacea.

Polynucleotides are generally well tolerated.

As with any injectable treatment, swelling, tenderness and redness that lasts a few hours are normal side effects.
