How Polynucleotides Are Transforming Skin Regeneration

In recent years, regenerative aesthetic treatments have become increasingly popular as patients look for ways to improve skin quality without relying solely on traditional fillers.

Polynucleotides are one of the newest innovations in skin regeneration. These treatments work by supporting the skin’s natural repair mechanisms, helping to improve texture, hydration and overall skin health.

At Laser & Skin Belfast, we offer advanced regenerative treatments including polynucleotides, designed to restore skin quality and support long-term skin rejuvenation.

What Are Polynucleotides?

Polynucleotides are naturally derived molecules that help stimulate the skin’s regenerative processes.

They are highly purified fragments of DNA that work within the skin to support tissue repair, improve hydration and encourage collagen production.

Rather than simply adding volume like dermal fillers, polynucleotides focus on improving the quality and health of the skin itself.

How Do Polynucleotides Work?

Polynucleotides work by activating the skin’s natural repair pathways.

Once injected into the skin, they help:

• stimulate fibroblasts (cells responsible for collagen production)

• improve skin hydration

• support tissue regeneration

• reduce inflammation within the skin

These processes help improve skin structure and overall skin quality over time.

What Areas Can Polynucleotides Treat?

Polynucleotide treatments are particularly effective in delicate areas where traditional fillers may not always be suitable.

Common treatment areas include:

• under-eye area

• face and cheeks

• neck

• décolletage

• hands

Many patients choose polynucleotides to improve under-eye skin quality, fine lines and crepey skin.

Benefits of Polynucleotide Treatments

Patients often choose polynucleotides because they provide subtle, natural-looking improvements in skin quality.

Potential benefits include:

• improved skin texture

• increased hydration

• stimulation of collagen production

• improved elasticity

• healthier overall skin appearance

Because the treatment works with the body’s natural regenerative processes, results typically develop gradually over time.

What Happens During Treatment?

Before treatment, a consultation is carried out to assess your skin and determine the most appropriate treatment plan.

During the procedure:

1. The skin is cleansed.

2. A numbing cream may be applied.

3. Small injections are placed into the treatment area using a fine needle.

The procedure usually takes 20–30 minutes, depending on the area being treated.

How Many Treatments Are Needed?

Polynucleotide treatments are typically performed as a course.

Many patients benefit from:

• 2–3 treatments

• sessions spaced 2–4 weeks apart

Maintenance treatments may be recommended to support long-term skin regeneration.

Are Polynucleotides the Same as Dermal Fillers?

Although both treatments involve injections, polynucleotides work differently from dermal fillers.

Dermal fillers are designed to restore volume and reshape facial contours, whereas polynucleotides focus on improving skin health and regeneration.

For this reason, polynucleotides are often used alongside other aesthetic treatments as part of a comprehensive skin rejuvenation plan.
