About This Procedure

The most appropriate approach is individual and depends on your anatomy, goals, and medical history. Your clinician will discuss realistic expectations, limitations, and the evidence base for each option during consultation. Outcomes vary and no result can be guaranteed.

Key Benefits

Polynucleotide treatments may support skin quality and texture. Individual outcomes vary and multiple sessions are typically recommended.

Addressing Skin Texture: Treatment can affect the appearance of uneven skin texture and pores.
Modifying Fine Lines: The procedure may alter the visibility of fine lines and superficial creases.
Acne Scarring Support: Polynucleotides may be utilized as part of a broader protocol to address the appearance of acne scarring.

Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate for polynucleotide injections is an adult who wishes to address specific skin concerns such as texture irregularities, visible pores, fine lines, or the appearance of acne scarring. Suitable candidates understand that this is a gradual process requiring multiple sessions and have realistic expectations regarding the anatomical changes the treatment may provide.

Techniques & Approaches

The specific approach is selected based on individual assessment and clinical goals. Your clinician will discuss the most appropriate options during your consultation.

Technique selection is individual and based on your anatomy and goals

Following a clinical skin assessment, polynucleotide product is injected into the superficial dermis across the treatment area using a series of micro-injections. The procedure aims to support tissue hydration and skin quality.

Options will be discussed during consultation

Your clinician will explain the recommended number of sessions, typically 3 to 4 spaced several weeks apart, and discuss the gradual nature of changes in skin quality and hydration.

Your clinician will explain the recommended approach and expected trade-offs

Your clinician will explain how polynucleotides differ from volumising fillers, the expected sensation during treatment, and any limitations specific to your skin type and concerns.

Individual results will be discussed transparently

Your clinician will discuss transparent expectations regarding what polynucleotide treatments may achieve for your skin. Results vary between individuals and multiple sessions are typically required.

Anesthesia

Many treatments in this category are performed without general anaesthesia. Topical numbing or local measures may be used for some procedures. Your clinician will discuss comfort management options during consultation.
