Polynucleotide injections are an advanced regenerative skin treatment designed to improve skin quality at a cellular level. Rather than adding volume or changing facial shape, polynucleotides work by supporting tissue repair, hydration, and skin resilience. At our Birmingham clinic, polynucleotide treatments are offered as part of a specialist-led, outcome-focused approach to skin rejuvenation, tailored to individual skin concerns and long-term skin health.
Polynucleotides are particularly suited to patients who want natural, progressive improvement in skin quality and structure, without the appearance of having “had work done”.
What are polynucleotides?
Polynucleotides are injectable compounds derived from purified DNA fragments. When placed into the skin, they act as bio-stimulators, supporting cellular repair and encouraging healthier skin function.
Unlike dermal fillers, polynucleotides do not add volume. Unlike traditional skin boosters, their primary role is regeneration rather than hydration alone. They are often chosen for delicate or compromised skin where strength, elasticity, and recovery are the main concerns.
How polynucleotide injections work
Polynucleotides are injected into the superficial and mid-dermal layers of the skin using precise techniques. Once placed, they:
- Support cellular repair and renewal
- Improve skin elasticity and texture
- Enhance hydration at a cellular level
- Strengthen the skin barrier
The skin responds gradually as biological processes are stimulated. Results develop over weeks rather than days, making polynucleotides a treatment best suited to patients seeking refined, long-term improvement.
Who are polynucleotide treatments for?
Polynucleotide injections are suitable for individuals who:
- Have thinning, fragile, or crepey skin
- Are experiencing early to moderate signs of ageing
- Have dull, tired, or stressed skin
- Want regenerative treatment without volume
- Prefer subtle, natural-looking outcomes
They are commonly chosen by patients who are not suitable for fillers, or who want to strengthen skin quality before or alongside other aesthetic treatments.
Areas that polynucleotides can treat
Polynucleotide treatments are highly versatile and can be used in areas where skin quality is particularly delicate:
Face
- Under-eye area
- Cheeks
- Lower face
- Perioral lines
Neck and décolletage
- Crepey or thinning skin
- Fine lines and texture concerns
Body
- Hands
- Areas of fragile or sun-damaged skin
Treatment plans are always tailored following detailed assessment of skin condition and anatomy.
How many sessions are needed?
Polynucleotide treatments are delivered as a course, with results building gradually.
- Typically 2 to 3 sessions
- Sessions spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart
- Maintenance treatments may be recommended depending on skin response and ageing process
Your practitioner will advise on the most appropriate schedule following consultation.
Polynucleotides vs other injectable skin treatments
Polynucleotides differ from other injectables in several key ways:
- They focus on regeneration, not volume
- They are well suited to delicate or compromised skin
- They support skin strength and resilience
- Results are gradual and understated
They can be used alone or alongside treatments such as skin boosters or Profhilo® as part of a comprehensive skin strategy.

Frequently asked questions
Are polynucleotides dermal fillers?
No. Polynucleotides do not add volume or reshape facial features. They improve skin quality through regeneration.
When will I see results from polynucleotide injections?
Results develop gradually over several weeks as the skin responds biologically.
Is there downtime after treatment?
Downtime is usually minimal. Mild swelling, redness, or small injection marks can occur temporarily.
Are polynucleotides suitable for the under-eye area?
Yes. Polynucleotides are often chosen for the under-eye area due to their regenerative properties and suitability for delicate skin, following assessment.
Can polynucleotides be combined with other treatments?
Yes. They are commonly combined with other skin treatments as part of a tailored, outcome-focused plan.
Are polynucleotide treatments suitable for men?
Yes. Polynucleotide treatments are suitable for all genders following appropriate consultation.
Polynucleotide injections – summary
Polynucleotide injections are an advanced regenerative treatment designed to strengthen, repair, and improve skin quality without adding volume or altering facial structure. When delivered by an experienced practitioner, they offer subtle, natural-looking improvements that support long-term skin health.
For patients seeking refined, specialist-led skin rejuvenation in Birmingham, polynucleotides represent a powerful and sophisticated approach to improving skin resilience and quality over time.
How the 8 Point Face Lift Works
Facial changes happen gradually, often due to a combination of reduced collagen, fat redistribution, and bone resorption.
The 8 Point Face Lift is designed to address these changes by targeting key support points rather than focusing only on wrinkles.
It’s a structured, subtle approach intended to provide a refreshed and more supported appearance without surgery.
The 8 Key Lift Points
Each point is selected to provide strategic lift and support:
- Upper cheek support
- Cheekbone enhancement
- Under-eye support
- Nasolabial fold support
- Marionette line support
- Pre-jowl area
- Lower cheek contour
- Chin support
Placement and product choice are tailored during your consultation to suit your facial structure and objectives.
Expected Outcomes
While individual results vary, this treatment is intended to:
- Restore mid-face and jawline support
- Soften lines and folds
- Improve facial balance and symmetry
- Provide a refreshed appearance
Treatment typically takes 30–45 minutes. Recovery is usually minimal, allowing most people to resume normal activities quickly.
