Polynucleotides
Polynucleotides are injectable treatments used in aesthetic medicine with a focus on skin quality and regenerative skin treatment
Rather than creating facial volume in the way that dermal fillers can, they are generally selected where the treatment goal is focused on the quality and appearance of the skin
Areas commonly considered
Depending on the product used and individual assessment, treatment may be considered for:
- under-eye area
- face
- neck
- other areas where skin quality is the main concern
Who might consider polynucleotides?
They may be discussed with patients concerned about aspects of skin quality such as:
- fine lines
- crepey-looking skin
- changes in skin texture
- the appearance of tired or ageing skin
What to expect
Treatment usually involves a series of small injections into the selected area
Temporary redness, swelling, tenderness, small bumps and bruising can occur afterwards
The recommended treatment course will depend on the product being used, treatment area and your individual treatment plan
Your safety comes first
All injectable treatments require an appropriate consultation and assessment before treatment. Your medical history, medications, allergies, previous procedures and relevant risk factors will be reviewed.
Before proceeding, you will have an opportunity to discuss what the treatment involves, realistic expected outcomes, alternative options, common side effects, important or serious complications, aftercare, and when and how to seek help following treatment.
There is no obligation to proceed with treatment following a consultation.
