About Polynucleotide Treatment

You may feel that your skin doesn’t recover from the stresses of everyday life quite as quickly as it once did. Perhaps fine lines are becoming more noticeable, the skin around your eyes feels thinner or more fragile, or your skin doesn’t look as fresh and resilient as it used to.

Polynucleotide treatments are designed to support the skin’s natural repair and renewal processes.

Made from highly purified DNA fragments, usually sourced from fish, these regenerative injectable treatments work by encouraging skin cell renewal, supporting collagen production, and helping improve tissue repair. Rather than focusing on volume or facial shape, the aim is to improve the quality and health of the skin itself.

At Medikaur, Jane currently uses Plinest Polynucleotides, including a product specifically designed for the delicate under-eye area. The treatment involves a series of tiny injections placed into carefully selected areas. Over time, these regenerative ingredients encourage the skin to become stronger, healthier, and more resilient.

Improvements don’t happen overnight. This is a treatment that works gradually, supporting your skin’s ability to repair and renew itself over time.

  • Improve the quality of fragile or thinning skin
  • Address fine lines and crepey skin
  • Improve the appearance of the under-eye area

My husband and I both visit Medikaur for all of our aesthetic and skin care needs. Jane always listens to our concerns, and gives great advice, never giving us a really ‘done look’ - just a light helping hand to look and feel our best. Our friends can’t work out why we look so well-rested and youthful, despite having stressful jobs and a hectic family life!”

HAVE A QUESTION?

qUICK ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE

Polynucleotides are regenerative injectable treatments designed to support skin repair, renewal, and overall skin health.

They are made from highly purified DNA fragments and work by encouraging skin cell renewal, supporting collagen production, and helping improve tissue quality over time.

The Polynucleotide products currently used at Medikaur are derived from purified DNA fragments sourced from trout.

These ingredients undergo extensive purification before being used in aesthetic treatments.

If you have dietary, ethical, religious, or lifestyle concerns about the animal-derived ingredients used in Polynucleotide treatments, please let us know during your consultation. Jane will be happy to discuss the available options and whether an alternative treatment may be more appropriate for you.

Both treatments aim to improve skin quality, but they work in different ways.

Profhilo primarily focuses on improving hydration and skin quality using hyaluronic acid.

Polynucleotides focus more on supporting skin repair, regeneration, and collagen production.

In simple terms, Profhilo is often chosen when hydration is the main concern, while Polynucleotides may be considered when the focus is on skin repair, resilience, and regeneration.

Some people choose to combine the two treatments as part of a broader skin health plan.

Yes. Jane uses a Polynucleotide treatment specifically designed for the delicate under-eye area.

This can be particularly helpful where skin quality, fine lines, or skin fragility are concerns.

The aim is not to change your facial features.

Polynucleotides are designed to improve the quality, hydration, and resilience of the skin itself.

Most people simply notice that their skin looks healthier, fresher, and more rested over time.

Most people benefit from a course of two or three treatments spaced around 3-4 weeks apart.

Your treatment plan will be tailored to your skin and your goals.

Yes.

Polynucleotides are often used alongside treatments such as Profhilo, skin boosters, skincare programmes, and other skin quality treatments.

Jane will discuss whether a combination approach may be beneficial for you.

MEET YOUR CLINICIAN

Jane Paterson

Polynucleotide treatments are one of those areas where understanding skin health matters just as much as understanding injectable treatments.

While many aesthetic procedures focus on adding volume or improving facial contours, Polynucleotides are designed to support the quality and resilience of the skin itself.

Jane is an Advanced Aesthetic Nurse Practitioner with more than 20 years of clinical experience and is a respected trainer and mentor within the aesthetics industry.

When assessing whether Polynucleotide treatment is appropriate, she considers not only the visible concerns you’re noticing, but also the overall health and condition of your skin.

Her approach is always personalised. Sometimes Polynucleotides are the right choice. Sometimes another treatment, or a combination approach, may be more appropriate.

The goal is never to make you look unrecognisable. It’s to help your skin become healthier, stronger, and more resilient over time.

Ready to begin your aesthetic journey?
