What are Polynucleotides?
Polynucleotides, often abbreviated as PN or PDRN (polydeoxyribonucleotide), represent a breakthrough class of injectable bio-stimulators derived from highly purified DNA fragments. These naturally occurring molecules are the building blocks of DNA and play a crucial role in cellular repair and regeneration.
When injected into the skin, polynucleotides work at a cellular level to trigger profound regenerative processes. Unlike traditional dermal fillers that simply add volume, or even other bio-stimulators that primarily focus on collagen production, polynucleotides offer a comprehensive approach to skin rejuvenation by:
• Activating fibroblasts – the cells responsible for producing collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid
• Promoting tissue repair and cellular regeneration
• Improving skin hydration and moisture retention
• Enhancing microcirculation and oxygen delivery to skin cells
• Providing powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects
• Stimulating the skin's natural healing and renewal processes
The result is genuinely healthier, more resilient skin that looks and functions like younger skin – not just superficially improved skin, but skin that has been fundamentally regenerated from within.

Combining Polynucleotides with Other Treatments
One of the advantages of polynucleotides treatment is their versatility. They work beautifully alongside other aesthetic treatments to enhance and amplify results:
• PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma): Combining polynucleotides with PRP treatment creates a powerful bio-regenerative treatment protocol that maximises collagen production and tissue repair.
• Microneedling: When paired with microneedling, polynucleotides can penetrate deeper into the skin for enhanced regenerative effects.
• Dermal Fillers: Polynucleotides can be used alongside fillers to improve skin quality around treated areas, creating more natural-looking and longer-lasting results.
• Medical-Grade Skincare: Professional skincare regimens, such as Obagi products, complement polynucleotides treatment by supporting skin health and prolonging results.
• Toxin Treatments: Polynucleotides address skin quality while toxins address dynamic wrinkles, creating a comprehensive anti-ageing approach.
During your consultation, we'll discuss which combination approach might be most beneficial for achieving your specific aesthetic goals and creating a harmonious, natural-looking rejuvenation.
FAQs
-
Most patients find polynucleotides treatment comfortable, especially with topical numbing cream applied beforehand. You may feel a mild pinching or stinging sensation during injections, but discomfort is minimal and brief. The fine needles used for injection also help minimise discomfort.
-
Results from polynucleotides treatment can last 6-12 months or longer. Because the treatment stimulates your skin's own regenerative processes, the improvements continue even after the initial treatment course. Maintenance treatments every 6-12 months help sustain optimal results.
-
Side effects are typically mild and temporary. Common reactions include redness, swelling, tenderness, and small bumps at injection sites, which usually resolve within 24-48 hours. Bruising can occur but is uncommon. Serious side effects are rare, and polynucleotides have an excellent safety profile.
-
For optimal results, we typically recommend an initial course of 2-3 treatment sessions spaced 3-4 weeks apart. This allows for progressive improvement as cellular regeneration is stimulated over time. Some patients may benefit from additional sessions depending on their specific concerns and goals.
