Polynucleotides

Polynucleotides treatment is suitable for individuals who are looking to address various signs of aging on their face and eyelids, If you’re experiencing sagging skin, wrinkles, and fine lines, or volume loss, this treatment can help restore volume and skin smoothness to these areas. This treatment can also improve the overall texture of the skin by promoting cell turnover and increasing hydration levels, helping to reduce the appearance of scars, and sun damage, as well as balance uneven skin tone.

The consultation is an opportunity for Jonathan to assess your concerns, expectations, and desired outcomes. It also provides a chance for you to ask any questions you may have about the procedure. After the consultation, a thorough examination of your face and eyelids will be conducted. This examination will help Jonathan identify any specific areas of concern or areas that may require more attention during the treatment. Once the examination is complete, your personalised treatment plan will be developed.

While some patients may experience mild discomfort during the injection process, any pain or discomfort is usually temporary and subsides shortly after the treatment is completed. Most patients describe the sensation as a mild pinching or stinging feeling, like that of other aesthetic injections such as Botox or dermal fillers. The use of topical numbing creams or local anaesthetic can also help to minimise any potential pain or discomfort.

A polynucleotide treatment session takes 30 minutes. The actual duration will depend on the area being treated. For example, if you are treating a small area, such as the under-eye region, the procedure may take less time compared to treating larger areas like the entire face or neck. In most cases, two polynucleotide treatments are initially recommended a month apart, followed by top ups over time in order for you to achieve optimal results.

The bioactive substances in polynucleotides stimulate collagen synthesis, which helps to improve the elasticity and firmness of the skin. This can lead to a reduction in wrinkles and fine lines, giving the face a more youthful appearance. In addition to skin tightening, polynucleotides also help to improve skin texture and tone, giving it a smoother and more even appearance. It can also help to lift and tighten the skin around the eyelids, reducing the appearance of droopiness and giving the eyes a more refreshed and awake look. This can also help to improve vision for those who may have sagging eyelids getting in the way of their line of sight.

While polynucleotides treatment is generally safe and well-tolerated, there are potential risks involved. These risks include allergic reactions, swelling and bruising at the injection site. Jonathan will discuss these risks with you and advise you to follow all pre- and post-treatment guidelines given to minimise the likelihood of complications.
