Polynucleotides in North Shields
Polynucleotides are purified DNA fragments extracted from fish designed to improve skin quality rather than add volume.
Once injected, these fragments work by stimulating your skin's own fibroblasts (the cells responsible for producing collagen and elastin), encouraging the skin to regenerate and repair itself from within. Polynucleotides also have a strong hydrophilic quality, drawing in and retaining moisture, while offering antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects that support overall skin health. Rather than filling or adding volume, they essentially improve the quality of the skin you already have: hydration, elasticity and resilience. That makes them a great fit if crepey skin, dullness or fine lines are your main concern.
Because the process works with your body's own regenerative pathways, improvement builds steadily across a course of treatments rather than appearing overnight.

Timeline
What to expect, day by day
This one rewards patience. Improvement builds across the course, not overnight.
- Day 1
Small raised bumps at each injection point settle within hours to a day. Redness and mild swelling are normal.
- Days 2 to 4
Injection marks settle gradually. Any bruising often becomes more noticeable before it fades.
- Weeks 3 to 4
Early changes in hydration and texture as skin quality starts to improve.
- Weeks 6 to 8
Benefits typically become more consistent: improved glow, texture and overall skin condition.
- Final result
Best outcomes are usually assessed several weeks after completing your course (commonly 3 to 4 sessions, every 2 to 3 weeks).
FAQs
Questions, answered honestly
What are polynucleotides?
Polynucleotides are regenerative injectables used to support skin quality. They're typically chosen for concerns like crepey texture, fine lines, dullness and skin resilience.
Are polynucleotides the same as filler?
No. They're not designed to add volume or reshape facial structure. They're used to improve skin quality over time.
When will I see results?
Results are gradual and build across a course of treatments. Many people notice improvements over several weeks as skin quality changes develop.
Is there downtime?
You may have temporary redness, swelling, small bumps at injection points and occasional bruising. These usually settle quickly, but it's a good idea to allow a buffer before big events.
How many sessions will I need?
Most people benefit from a course, then maintenance depending on goals and skin response. Your plan will be discussed at consultation.
Is your skin the concern, rather than lines?
