You have most likely heard of the latest craze to hit the aesthetics industry; Polynucleotide skin treatment. You have possibly heard that they are created using fish DNA, but what you are less likely to know is exactly how injecting fish sperm into your face is going to help you look younger.
It sounds wild, doesn’t it?
Let’s dive (pun intended) into how this treatment works, and why it may be a good option for you.
The Science Behind Polynucleotide Skin Treatment
Essentially, in a nutshell Polynucleotide skin treatment involves injecting or introducing to the skin a serum, a matter (called a Polynucleotide) which helps your own cells increase collagen production, hydration levels and skin’s elasticity.
Nurse Ruebsamen said “When Polynucleotides are injected into the skin they expedite the body’s cell regeneration cycle and enhance its repair mechanisms,’ reveals Nurse Ruebsamen.” womenshealthmag
But what does this have to do with fish?
This substance comes from the DNA of salmon or trout sperm (which is really close to that of humans). The fish DNA has the ability to replicate natural signals occurring in our bodies.
So what is the Polynucleotide, in Polynucleotide skin treatment?
Polynucleotides are something called a biostimulator, which means they help your body to naturally produce collagen (in cells known as fibroblasts) which we have more of naturally when we are young, hence it being used in anti-ageing treatments. By increasing your body’s natural ability to produce collagen, increase elastin and hydration levels, you can see a reduction in wrinkles and fine lines and an improvement in your skin’s elasticity.
Turning Back Time: How do we use Polynucleotide skin treatment in clinic?
We have several ways in which we can offer this treatment to you in clinic.
Polynucleotide skin treatment: Injectable treatments
One of the most popular ways in which we can treat the signs of ageing using Polynucleotides is by injecting them directly into problem areas such as the face and under the eyes. We appreciate that this might sound a little daunting however rest assured, we make sure to numb you thoroughly before treatment to allow you to have a comfortable and relaxing experience.
This has proved to be a really popular treatment in clinic.
Polynucleotide skin treatment: Serum administered with Microneedling
Another popular method of administering Polynucleotides is through a serum which can be used in congruence with Microneedling (another hit treatment in clinic at the moment). During this process, microtrauma is delivered to the face through the use of small needles. The Polynucleotide serum is then added to the face. Once again we use numbing cream in this treatment to help you to feel as comfortable as possible.

Why might Polynucleotide skin treatment be a good option for you?
This is a great option for you if you are looking for an alternative treatment to filler. Filler certainly can help with areas which are hollowed but it does not promote your body to naturally fight the signs of ageing, rather by adding a substance to your skin. If you are looking for a more natural treatment path, then Polynucleotides might just be the perfect option for you to try.
We usually suggest three sessions of treatment to kick-start your production. Some of our patients have seen progress after their first session, but ideally, the full course is needed to see your desired results. Each session comes in at around £190 depending on the nurse you see.
