20-30 minutes.

The number of treatments depends on your specific goals and the areas being treated. 

Generally, a series of 3 treatments spaced 3/4 weeks apart yields the best outcomes. 

Whether you’re targeting fine lines, skin laxity, or overall skin revitalisation, we will customize a treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Since polynucleotide treatments work at a cellular level, it takes time for the full benefits to appear. 

You’ll start noticing changes like improved skin texture and hydration within a few weeks. 

By 12 weeks, most patients see a significant improvement, including smoother, brighter, and more lifted skin. 

The results can last around 6/12 months, with maintenance treatments recommended every 6/12 months to preserve your skin’s youthful appearance.

By doing so, we maintain continued, active stimulation of fibroblast production, maximising short and long-term results.

Polynucleotide treatments are generally well tolerated.

Most patients report only mild discomfort during the procedure. The treatment is considered minimally invasive and well-tolerated by most.

You may have tiny blebs just visible, which is where the product has been left on your skin.

This will dissipate over a few hours but may take longer. You may also experience mild swelling around delicate areas such as eyes and neck. Bruising is also a possibility

• Avoid touching or washing your face for 4 hours
• Avoid make-up for 12 hours
• Avoid any other facial treatments for 72 hours

Polynucleotide (PN) facial treatments involve the use of a biocompatible material derived from nucleic acids, like DNA or RNA, to improve the appearance and health of the skin. 

While these treatments are generally considered safe and well-tolerated, there are certain contraindications that should be considered before undergoing PN facial treatments. 

Here are some common contraindications to PN facial treatments:

• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding:
• Hypersensitivity or Allergy to PN Products: Individuals with a known hypersensitivity or allergic reaction to polynucleotide-based products should not undergo PN facial treatments to prevent adverse reactions.
• Fish allergy
• Acute or Chronic Skin Infections: Patients with active skin infections, such as bacterial, viral, or fungal infections, should not receive PN facial treatments until the infection is completely resolved to avoid exacerbation or complications.
• Open Wounds, Lesions, or Burns: PN facial treatments should not be performed on individuals with open wounds, lesions, or burns in the treatment area, as this may lead to further irritation, infection, or delayed wound healing.
• History of Keloid or Hypertrophic Scarring: individual’s risk and carefully consider the potential benefits and risks.
• Autoimmune Disorders or Immune System Disorders: People with autoimmune disorders or compromised immune systems may have altered healing responses and may not be suitable candidates for PN facial treatments.
• Active Cancer: Patients with active cancer and undergoing cancer treatments (e.g., chemotherapy, radiation therapy) should avoid PN facial treatments due to potential interference with the cancer treatment outcomes and the risk of cancer recurrence.
• Active Skin Disorders or Dermatological Conditions: Patients with active skin disorders or dermatological conditions in the treatment area, such as eczema, psoriasis, or dermatitis, should avoid PN facial treatments until their skin condition is under control. healing process, caused by the increased cell turnover. 

The DNA we utilise is sourced from salmon, and it’s intriguing how closely it resembles human DNA. 

However, it’s essential to clarify that we’re working exclusively with small fragments of DNA. 

Through rigorous clinical filtration and ultra-purification, any trace of ‘matter’ is entirely removed. 

This means that even individuals with fish allergies can safely use polynucleotides, as clinical trials have not reported any allergic reactions thus far. It’s worth mentioning that no salmon are harmed in the process of obtaining their DNA.

Polynucleotides stand apart from hyaluronic-based skin boosters and dermal fillers. 

Instead of providing an immediate boost in collagen and elastin or temporarily ‘plumping’ the skin, polynucleotides serve as catalysts for regenerating fibroblasts, the key cells within the skin’s structural matrix. 

The product is efficiently absorbed by the body, triggering the production of new cells. 

While aging is an ongoing process, polynucleotides have the remarkable ability to rewind the clock in the treated areas.

Polynucleotide treatment is a fairly quick and straight forward procedure. After a full consultation to assess your suitability for treatment you will be fully informed about the procedure, the downtime and expected outcome. 

On the day of treatment your skin will be prepared and fully cleansed, the areas for treatment will be identified and a few small injections will be performed. 

Immediately afterwards your skin will be a little red and is likely to look bumpy and a bit swollen. 

The swelling normally lasts around 3/5 days and you may also experience some bruising so it is best to avoid this treatment if you have any important events coming up. 

You can resume your normal activities straight away but it usually advised to keep the area clean and avoid strenuous exercise, swimming, sunbeds etc until the area is healed.

• For the best results, and to minimise the chance of bleeding or bruising at the injection site, please avoid all blood-thinning medications and supplements for one week prior to your appointment. This includes over-the-counter medication such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or Aleve. 
• Also avoid herbal supplements such as garlic, vitamin E, ginko biloba, St. John’s Wort and omega-3 capsules. 
• If you have a cardiovascular history, please check with your doctor prior to stopping use of aspirin.
• Please inform us if you have a history of Perioral Herpes to receive advice on antiviral therapy prior to treatment.
• Avoid active products such as Tretinoin (Retin-A) retinols, retinoids, glycolic acid, alpha hydroxy acid, or any “anti-aging” products for two days before and after treatment.
• Do not drink alcoholic beverages 24 hours before or after your treatment to avoid extra bruising.
• Do not use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, are allergic to any of it’s ingredients, or suffer from any neurological disorders.

• Use a cold pack to reduce swelling and redness on the injection site.
• Avoid physical strain, sudden head movements and sports the first day after the treatment.
• Avoid direct exposure to ultraviolet light (solar exposure, lamps) in the 4 weeks following the treatment.
• Avoid intense hot (Sauna, steam bath) or intense cold in the 4 weeks following treatment.
• Avoid further cosmetic therapies for the first two weeks after the treatment.
• Avoid massaging the injection site.
• Avoid application of make-up for at least 12 hrs post-procedure. 
• Stay well hydrated (1.5–2.0 l water per day).
