How Polynucleotides can help your Skin
Polynucleotides (PN’s) are highly compatible with the human skin and are a breakthrough in skin rejuvenation. They offer a cutting-edge solution for restoring hydration, improving skin texture, and boosting elasticity. This advanced Polynucleotides treatment uses naturally occurring molecules to repair and regenerate the skin, making it an excellent option for those seeking a non-invasive way to achieve radiant, youthful skin.
At Skin Revision in Beaconsfield, Bucks, we are proud to offer polynucleotide-based treatments, and providing our clients with the latest in skincare technology. In this article, we’ll explore what PN’s are, how they work, and their benefits for rejuvenating and repairing the skin.
What are Polynucleotides?
Polynucleotides are natural molecules derived from DNA and RNA fragments that play a crucial role in skin repair and regeneration. These molecules work by stimulating the skin’s natural healing processes, encouraging the production of collagen and elastin while improving hydration and skin elasticity.
Unlike many skincare treatments that target surface-level concerns, polynucleotides work at a cellular level, making them particularly effective for addressing deeper issues such as skin damage, ageing, and loss of firmness.
How do Polynucleotides work?
A Polynucleotides treatment is sometimes crudely known as a “salmon sperm facial” . The vialls of Vitaran polynucleotides are injected into the skin, most commonly by using a fine injection. Once administered, they provide several key benefits:
- Cellular Repair – Polynucleotides stimulate the skin’s repair mechanisms. This promotes the regeneration of damaged cells and improves overal skin health
2. Collagen Production – By activating fibroblasts, the cells responsible for collagen production, polynucleotides help to restore skin structure and firmness.
3. Hydration Boost – Polynucleotides enhance the skin’s ability to retain moisture, leading to improved hydration and a plumper, more youthful appearance.
4. Anti-Inflammatory Properties – These molecules help to reduce inflammation and redness, making them suitable for sensitive or irritated skin.
5. Tissue Remodelling – Polynucleotides support the rebuilding of damaged tissue, improving skin texture, elasticity, and overall tone.
Benefits of Polynucleotides for Skin Rejuvenation
Polynucleotide treatments offer a wide range of benefits, making them a versatile option for various skin concerns:
● Improves Skin Hydration: Boosts moisture retention for smoother, more supple skin.
● Enhances Skin Elasticity: Restores firmness and reduces sagging, particularly in areas prone to laxity.
● Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Smooths out wrinkles and fine lines by stimulating collagen production.
● Repairs Damaged Skin: Helps heal scars, stretch marks, and sun-damaged skin.
● Improves Skin Tone and Texture: Creates a more even, radiant complexion by addressing pigmentation and roughness.
● Minimally Invasive: Provides noticeable results without the need for surgery or extensive downtime.
What can Polynucleotides treat?
Polynucleotide treatments are suitable for a variety of skin concerns, including:
1. Ageing Skin – Signs of ageing, such as fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of elasticity. The Polynucleotides treatment rejuvenates skin from within.
2. Dehydrated Skin – Boosts moisture levels to address dryness and achieve a glowing, hydrated complexion.
3. Pigmentation – Polynucleotides improve uneven skin tone and reduces hyperpigmentation for a brighter, more uniform appearance.
4. Acne Scarring and Stretch Marks – Healing and tissue remodelling helps minimise the appearance of scars and stretch marks.
5. Sun Damage – Helps repair skin affected by UV exposure by improving texture, and reducing redness.
6. Dark Circles and Tired Eyes – Polynucleotides can also be used in delicate areas like under the eyes to reduce puffiness, brighten dark circles, and restore firmness.

1. Consultation – During your consultation, our expert paramedical skin therapists will assess your skin concerns and develop a tailored treatment plan of Polynucleotides to address your specific needs.
2. Treatment procedure – The treatment involves injecting polynucleotides into the targeted areas. The procedure is quick, typically taking 30–60 minutes, with minimal discomfort.
3. Post-Treatment Care – After the treatment, you may experience mild redness, swelling, or tenderness, which usually subsides within 24–48 hours. Our skin specialists will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure optimal results.
4. Results – You can expect to see improvements in skin texture, hydration, and elasticity within a few weeks, with continued enhancements over time as collagen production increases.
Are Polynucleotides good for treating under the eyes?
Polynucleotides are particularly effective in successfully treating under the eyes. The dark circles that appear under the eyes can often become a sign of tired eyes, which can lead to individuals becoming less confident about themselves.
What other skin concerns is the Polynucleotides skin booster good for?
Other skin concerns that are commonly treated successfully are those who have the under-eye circles, certain acne scars, wrinkles and fine lines around the eyes and above the lips, hair loss, hair thinning and hair regeneration.
How many sessions are needed?
After a short course and maintenance, a Polynucleotides treatment will work safely month after month and year after year. For optimal results, a series of 3–4 treatments spaced 2–4 weeks apart is typically recommended. Maintenance treatments every 6–12 months can help sustain the rejuvenating effects and keep your skin looking its best.
Are Polynucleotide treatments safe?
Polynucleotide treatments are considered safe and well-tolerated, with minimal risk of side effects. As a naturally occurring substance, polynucleotides integrate seamlessly with the body’s biology, making them suitable for most individuals. During your consultation your skin will be evaluated and medical history taken into account to ensure the treatment is right for you. Although very rare, possible side-effects from a Polynucleotides treatment may include tenderness to the touch, minor allergic reactions, itching or infection.
Are Polynucleotides better than dermal fillers or botulinum toxins such as Botox?
Skin Rejuvenation and Hydration: Polynucleotides are better for improving skin health improvement and improving the texture of the skin.
Volume Loss: Dermal fillers are more effective for restore facial volume and facial structure better.
Dynamic Wrinkles: Botulinum toxins are best at reducing expression-related wrinkles around the eyes and forehead.
Actually, all three serve different purposes and so fillers, botox and polynucleotides can all be used at different times. Never at the same should any of these injectables be combined.
How do Polynucleotides compare to Profhilo skin booster?
According to Dr Ahmed El Muntasar “Polynucleotides work more on a cellular level.” “Profhilo is basically just hyaluronic acid that’s injected very superficially. It does nothing but hydrate your skin. Some say it can make you produce more collagen but that’s in very tiny amounts.”
What is the best aftercare advice following treatment?
During and after your Polynucleotides treatment any necessary aftercare will be explained by your prescriber. At Skin Revision for example, Jacqui Bannister (advanced paramedical therapist) will discuss aftercare and leave you with a informational leaflet to read.
Here are the most important aspect of Polynucleotides aftercare, to consider.
Mild side effects: It’s normal to experience some redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites. These should subside within a few days.
Do not touch the treated area: Also refrain from massaging the treated area for at least 24 hours to prevent infection.
Avoid makeup: It’s best to avoid applying makeup to the treated area for the first 24 hours.
Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water to help flush out any toxins and promote healing.
Wear sunscreen: Protect your skin from the sun by wearing sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher.
Avoid heat and exercise: Saunas, hot baths, and strenuous exercise for the first 48 hours after treatment would be inadvisable.
Allergies
As Polynucleotides are derived from Salmon DNA, the treatment is not very suitable for those who are vegetarian or vegan.
