Polynucleotides
Polynucleotides Treatment in Surrey
Regenerative Skin Quality Improvement
A modern injectable treatment designed to support skin repair, hydration and subtle rejuvenation.
Polynucleotides are being increasingly considered by patients looking for fresher, healthier-looking skin without obvious change.
Rather than adding volume or dramatically reshaping features, they are generally used to support skin quality, tissue repair and gradual regenerative improvement.
This makes them particularly appealing to patients seeking subtle, natural-looking results. This aligns well with the trend towards Less-is-More.
As polynucleotide treatment is still relatively new, at the Cosmetic Doctors Company in Esher, the longterm benefits will be kept under review. See our post Polynucleotides — An Honest and Cautious Assessment.

What Areas Can Be Treated?
Polynucleotide treatments are commonly used for:
Face
Under-eye area
Neck
They are particularly useful in areas where a subtle, regenerative approach is preferred. A good example being the lower eyelid skin beneath the eyes. The delicate nature of this area limits the use of other, more aggressive treatments.
Who Is Polynucleotide Treatment Suitable For?
This treatment may be appropriate for patients who::
Feel skin looks tired or fragile
Want subtle improvement rather than obvious change
Are concerned about the eye area
Prefer regenerative treatment approaches
Want support for skin quality rather than added volume
Are concerned about delicate areas such as under the eyes
They are often used in patients seeking subtle, progressive improvement.
Are There Any Risks?

Bruising
Temporary redness
Serious complications should be very uncommon when performed by appropriately trained practitioners. You might consider how to choose a safe aesthetic practitioner.
Safety and suitability are always discussed during your consultation.
What results might I expect from polynucleotides ?
Results are usually gradual and understated.
Patients may notice:
Improved skin texture
Better hydration
Fresher appearance
Healthier-looking skin
Subtle softening of tired-looking areas
What Polynucleotides typically do not do
They are not primarily intended to:
Replace lost facial volume
Sharply contour facial features
Produce immediate dramatic change
Lift tissues significantly
Where these are priorities, alternatives such as dermal fillers or Sculptra may be more suitable.
Safety and Consultation
