Polynucleotide Treatment: A Natural Approach to Skin Rejuvenation

Polynucleotide treatments have become a game-changer in the world of aesthetic medicine, offering a natural, regenerative approach to skin rejuvenation. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, which add volume, polynucleotides work by stimulating the skin’s natural repair and regeneration processes, improving hydration, elasticity, and overall skin quality over time. 

At Laserase Medical, polynucleotide treatments are used to reduce fine lines, improve skin texture, and enhance overall radiance, making them an ideal choice for those seeking long-term skin health benefits. But what exactly should you expect from this treatment? 

This guide will walk you through what polynucleotides are, how they work, the treatment process, expected results, and aftercare, so you can feel fully informed before booking your session. 

 

What Are Polynucleotides and How Do They Work? 

Polynucleotides are chains of nucleotides, the building blocks of DNA and RNA. In aesthetic treatments, polynucleotides stimulate cellular repair, boost collagen production, and deeply hydrate the skin. Unlike traditional fillers, they do not add volume but instead revitalise the skin from within, promoting natural regeneration

At Laserase Medical, polynucleotide injections are used to: 

Hydrate and firm the skin 
Stimulate collagen and elastin production 
Reduce fine lines and wrinkles 
Improve skin texture and tone 
Help with redness, scarring, and pigmentation

This makes polynucleotide treatments an excellent choice for those seeking natural-looking, long-lasting skin rejuvenation

 

What Concerns Can Polynucleotide Treatments Address? 

Polynucleotides are highly versatile and can be used to treat a variety of skin concerns, including: 

1. Fine Lines and Wrinkles 

By stimulating collagen and elastin production, polynucleotide injections smooth fine lines and soften wrinkles, particularly around delicate areas like the eyes, mouth, and forehead. 

2. Skin Hydration and Elasticity 

Polynucleotides improve the skin’s hydration levels, making them ideal for dry or dull skin that has lost its natural glow. 

3. Acne Scars and Skin Texture 

The treatment helps to regenerate damaged skin cells, making it an excellent choice for those with acne scars, rough skin texture, or uneven tone

4. Redness and Pigmentation 

Polynucleotides can help to calm redness and even out pigmentation, making them particularly beneficial for those with sensitive skin or rosacea.

 

What Areas Can Be Treated with Polynucleotides? 

At Laserase Medical, polynucleotide treatments can be used on multiple areas of the face and body, including: 

  • Peri-orbital area (around the eyes) – Helps to reduce dark circles, fine lines, and under-eye hollowness

  • Face – Improves overall skin texture, elasticity, and hydration

  • Neck and Décolletage – Addresses loose skin and wrinkles in delicate areas

  • Hands – Rejuvenates thin, crepey skin on the hands. 

  • Scalp – Supports hair growth and scalp hydration

Each treatment is customised based on individual concerns and skin needs. 

 

What to Expect During a Polynucleotide Treatment 

Knowing what to expect can help you feel more comfortable and prepared for your treatment. Here’s a step-by-step guide to what happens at Laserase Medical

1. Consultation and Skin Assessment 

Before any treatment, you’ll have a consultation with a specialist to assess your skin concerns and goals. During this session: 

✔ Your skin will be examined to determine the best treatment approach. 
✔ Your practitioner will explain the treatment process, expected results, and aftercare
✔ You’ll have the opportunity to ask any questions about the procedure. 

 

2. Preparing for Treatment 

On the day of your appointment: 

✔ Your skin will be cleansed and prepped
✔ A numbing cream may be applied to minimise discomfort. 
✔ The polynucleotide solution will be injected using a fine needle or cannula, depending on the area being treated. 

The procedure is quick, typically lasting 30–45 minutes, depending on the treatment area. 

 

3. Does the Treatment Hurt? 

Polynucleotide injections are minimally invasive and well-tolerated, but you may feel: 

  • A slight pinprick sensation during the injections. 

  • Mild pressure or tingling as the solution is distributed under the skin. 

Most patients describe the treatment as comfortable and less painful than other injectable treatments like dermal fillers. 

 

What to Expect After the Treatment 

After your polynucleotide injections, you may experience: 

Mild redness, swelling, or small bumps at the injection sites – These usually settle within 24–48 hours
Possible slight bruising – This is rare but can happen, particularly in delicate areas like the under-eyes. 
A noticeable "hydration boost" within a few days, with continued improvements over time. 

 

How Long Until I See Results? 

Polynucleotide treatments work gradually, with full results developing over 2–3 months

First 1-2 Weeks – Skin appears more hydrated, plump, and refreshed
4-6 Weeks – Increased collagen production leads to smoother, firmer skin
3 Months – Optimal results, with improvements in wrinkles, texture, and elasticity

For best results, a course of 4 sessions spaced 2 weeks apart is typically recommended

 

How Long Do Results Last? 

Results from polynucleotide treatments can last 6–9 months, depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and treatment area. Maintenance sessions every 3–4 months help to prolong the benefits. 

 

Post-Treatment Aftercare 

Following aftercare instructions ensures you get the best results from your treatment. 

Do’s: 

Stay hydrated – Drink plenty of water to enhance the hydrating effects. 
Apply SPF daily – Protect your skin from UV exposure. 
Use gentle skincare – Stick to fragrance-free, soothing products for the first few days. 

Don’ts: 

Avoid heavy makeup for 24 hours – Let your skin breathe. 
Skip intense exercise for 24–48 hours – This helps reduce swelling. 
No excessive heat (saunas, hot baths, or sunbathing) for 48 hours – Heat can prolong redness or irritation.
