Polynucleotide Treatments in Dulwich, London

What Are Polynucleotides?

Polynucleotides are chains of nucleotides, the building blocks of DNA. Rather than filling or plumping the skin, they work with your body’s own repair processes, encouraging the skin to produce more collagen and elastin and to hold on to moisture more effectively.

The result is a gradual improvement in skin quality that looks entirely your own: smoother texture, better firmness and elasticity, and a healthier glow.

• Improved skin texture
• Firmer, more elastic skin
• Better hydration
• Softer fine lines
• Delicate eye contour
• Acne scarring

We use the PolyPhil™ range by Croma. It includes formulations for younger or delicate skin, for more mature or dehydrated skin (combined with hyaluronic acid), and a dedicated option for the eye contour, so your treatment can be matched to your skin.

Where Can It Be Used?

Polynucleotides can be used on the face, around the eyes, on the neck, décolletage and hands, and to help improve the look of scars and acne scarring. The treatment is minimally invasive and well tolerated.

How many treatments will I need?

A course of treatments a few weeks apart is usually recommended, with results building over that time. Regular maintenance treatments help keep the results going. How long they last depends on your age, lifestyle, sun exposure and skincare routine, and Sara will advise on a plan for you.

Before and after your treatment

Please tell Sara about your medical history, any allergies and any previous aesthetic treatments at your consultation. PolyPhil™ polynucleotides are highly purified and sourced from farmed freshwater trout. Afterwards, give your skin a little rest and avoid extreme temperatures and strong sunlight for the first week. Make-up can usually be worn again the next day.

Polynucleotides can be used on their own or to prepare the skin for other treatments such as skin boosters, dermal fillers and PCA skin peels. See our pricelist or book your free consultation.
