At SkinHD, we’re always on the lookout for innovative treatments to help you achieve your skincare goals. One of the latest breakthroughs in aesthetic medicine is the use of Polynucleotides. This cutting-edge biostimulator treatment harnesses the power of DNA fragments to regenerate your skin from within, offering a multitude of benefits for a more youthful and radiant complexion.
What are Polynucleotides?
Polynucleotides are becoming increasingly popular at SkinHD due to their significant regenerative properties. They use filtered DNA fractions, derived from salmon and trout, which undergoes a rigorous filtration and ultra-purification process to ensure its safety and efficacy.
When injected into targeted areas, polynucleotides signal the body to naturally boost cellular repair and regeneration. This leads to improved skin hydration, enhanced collagen production and the repair of damage caused by environmental stressors such as sun exposure.
What Can Polynucleotides Treat?
Polynucleotides address a wide range of skin concerns, making them a versatile addition to your skincare routine.
Here are some of the key benefits:
- Cellular Regeneration: promotes the growth of new, healthy skin cells.
- Collagen Production: Enhances skin elasticity and firmness by boosting collagen and elastin levels.
- Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Reduces the appearance of early signs of ageing.
- Dark Circles and Eye Bags: Improves the appearance of the upper and lower eye areas.
- Hydration: Enhances moisture retention for a dewy, hydrated complexion.
- Skin Texture: Smooths and refines skin texture.
- Hyperpigmentation: Reduces the appearance of dark spots and even skin tone.
- Scarring: Minimises the appearance of scars by plumping out the skin from the deepest layers.
- Anti-inflammatory: Calms and soothes irritated skin, reducing redness and inflammation, perfect for those that suffer with rosacea & acne.
How they work:
Polynucleotides work on a cellular level, setting them apart from other aesthetics treatments. The injected DNA fragments act as catalysts for skin rejuvenation, stimulating fibroblasts – the cells responsible for collagen and elastin production. This not only helps to firm and plump the skin but also improves its overall quality and resilience.
What to expect:
Typically, a course of polynucleotide treatments consists of three sessions, spaced a few weeks apart. Most clients start to see results around 4-6 weeks after their initial treatment, with improvements continuing as collagen and elastin production increases. Maintenance sessions every 6-9 months can help sustain these results.

Polynucleotides vs Other Aesthetics Treatments
Botox:
- Purpose – Primarily used to relax facial muscles, reducing the appearance of dynamic wrinkles such as frown lines and crow’s feet.
- Combination – Botox can be used alongside polynucleotides to target both muscle movement-induced wrinkles and overall skin quality. This dual approach provides comprehensive anti-ageing results.
Laser Treatments:
- Purpose – Address a variety of skin issues, including pigmentation, scarring and texture, by promoting collagen production and resurfacing the skin.
- Combination – Laser treatments can be combined with polynucleotides for enhanced results. Lasers can provide immediate texture improvements, while polynucleotides sustain and build on these results through deep cellular regeneration.
Chemical Peels:
- Purpose – Exfoliate the top layers of skin to reveal fresher, smoother skin beneath, addressing concerns like pigmentation, texture and fine lines.
- Combination – Chemical peels and polynucleotides can be combined to enhance skin rejuvenation. A chemical peel can prepare the skin, allowing polynucleotides to penetrate more effectively and boost collagen production
Profhilo/Sunekos:
- Purpose – Both treatments focus on bio-remodelling the skin. Profhilo uses high concentrations of hyaluronic acid for hydration and radiance, while Sunekos combines hyaluronic acid with amino acids to stimulate collagen and elastin production.
- Combination – Polynucleotides can complement Profhilo or Sunekos treatments by providing additional support to collagen and elastin production, further enhancing skin elasticity, firmness, and overall quality.
Before and Aftercare
To minimise the risk of bruising, avoid NSAIDs (like ibuprofen etc), fish oils and alcohol before your appointment. Post treatment, it’s advised to avoid touching your face or applying makeup for at least 12 hours, and steer clear of excessive heat and strenuous exercise for 24 hours. Detailed aftercare instructions will be provided by your practitioner to ensure the best possible results.
Potential Side Effects
While generally well-tolerated, some clients may experience temporary side effects such as pain or stinging at the injection site, localised swelling or bruising. These usually resolve within 24-48 hours. Serious side effects are rare but can include allergic reactions or persistent discomfort. Rest assured, all injectors at SkinHD are highly trained medical professionals equipped to handle any complications.
