Polynucleotides
Polynucleotide treatments are an advanced injectable skin treatment designed to improve overall skin quality, hydration and elasticity at a cellular level. Rather than adding volume, polynucleotides work by stimulating the skin’s natural regenerative processes, helping to repair and strengthen the skin from within.
This treatment is particularly effective for delicate areas such as the under-eye region, as well as the face, neck and décolletage, improving concerns such as fine lines, dullness, skin laxity and loss of firmness.
At Aspen Medical Aesthetics in Bathgate, West Lothian, treatments are delivered by a qualified NMC-registered independent prescriber, with a strong focus on safety, precision and natural-looking results. Each treatment plan is tailored to your individual skin concerns, supporting long-term skin health and subtle, progressive improvement.
Results develop gradually over a course of treatments, with skin becoming smoother, firmer and more radiant over time.
What to expect
Your appointment will begin with a detailed consultation to assess your skin concerns and suitability for treatment. Polynucleotides are administered via a series of small injections into the targeted area. Mild swelling, redness or small raised areas at the injection sites can occur, but these typically settle within 24–48 hours.
A course of treatments is usually recommended for optimal results, with sessions spaced a few weeks apart. Aftercare advice will be provided, along with a tailored treatment plan to support ongoing skin improvement.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are polynucleotides used for?
Polynucleotide treatments are used to improve skin quality rather than add volume. They help to hydrate, repair and strengthen the skin, making them ideal for concerns such as fine lines, under-eye ageing, dullness and reduced skin elasticity.
How many treatments will I need?
A course of 2–3 treatments is typically recommended for best results, depending on the area treated and your individual skin concerns. Maintenance treatments may be advised to prolong results.
When will I see results from polynucleotides?
Results develop gradually as the skin regenerates. Many clients begin to notice improvements in skin texture and hydration after a few weeks, with continued enhancement over the following months.
Do polynucleotide treatments hurt?
The treatment is generally well tolerated. Very fine needles are used, and discomfort is minimal. Some areas, such as the under-eye region, may feel slightly more sensitive, but the procedure is quick to perform.
Is there any downtime after treatment?
Downtime is minimal. You may experience mild swelling, redness or small raised areas at the injection sites, which usually settle within 24–48 hours. Most clients can return to normal activities shortly after treatment.
