Polynucleotides

What Are Polynucleotides?

Polynucleotides are regenerative injectable treatments made from highly purified DNA fragments. Rather than adding volume (like traditional filler), they are designed to support skin repair and improve overall skin quality including texture, hydration and elasticity.

They are especially useful in areas where skin is thin or fragile (such as the under eyes, neck and hands) and for patients who want gradual improvement in skin quality without a “done” look.

At CULTSKIN, polynucleotides are used as part of a structured skin optimisation plan, often alongside other collagen-stimulating and skin-rejuvenating treatments. The focus is long-term skin health and resilience, not short term surface change.

How Do They Work?

Polynucleotides support tissue repair by improving the skin’s regenerative environment. They help stimulate fibroblast activity (cells involved in collagen production), support microcirculation and encourage healthier skin structure over time.

Results develop gradually. Many patients notice improved hydration and texture after the first session, with more visible improvements in firmness and skin quality following a course of treatments.

Polynucleotides FAQs

Polynucleotides is commonly used to improve:

  • Under-eye creasing
  • Skin thinning
  • Fine lines
  • Dull skin tone
  • Reduced skin elasticity

Suitability will always be confirmed during consultation with a CULTSKIN clinician.

For optimal results, 3 treatments are recommended per area, to be administered 3 weeks apart.

Thereafter, a maintenance treatment is recommended every 9 months for most, unless you’re CULTSKIN® Doctor or Dr Esho advises another round, but this is dependent upon what is trying to be achieved/targeted.

In comparison to other skin boosters, due to the nature of the treatment, Polynucleotides can be treated in a large variety of areas such as the face, neck, décolleté, hands, body, scalp and also intimate areas!

Typically administered via a cannula, and sometimes micro-needled in the more superficial layers of skin towards the end of treatment, redness, possible bruising and slight swelling should be expected initially. However, patient and area dependent, having followed the aftercare advice given, this should subside anywhere from a few hours to a few days after treatment.

After the first treatment, you should start to see results and positive changes from the skin quite quickly. The product continues to work for the first 12 weeks, so continues to improve with time. This is only exaggerated after the second and third treatments within your treatment plan, to further optimise results!
