What is Polynucleotide Eye Treatment?

Polynucleotide eye treatment involves a series of precise micro-injections that deliver a unique cell rejuvenation directly around the eye area. The treatment uses natural DNA fragments, typically sourced from salmon, to stimulate the skin’s natural healing and regeneration processes.

This innovative approach enhances hydration, improves skin quality, and reduces signs of ageing.

The Benefits 

Patients can expect a noticeable improvement to the skin around the eye area. The treatment brightens and rejuvenates tired eyes, reducing dark circles and fine lines for a fresher look. Hydrating the skin helps make the eye area appear smoother and plumper. Increased collagen production enhances elasticity, resulting in firmer and more resilient skin. This treatment works gradually, improving overall skin quality without adding unnecessary volume.

What to Expect During the Procedure

  • A numbing cream is applied to the eye area.
  • Polynucleotides are injected using a fine needle or cannula.
  • The procedure is completed in under an hour with minimal discomfort.
  • We recommend an initial course of three sessions, spaced 4 weeks apart, followed by maintenance sessions every 6-9 months.

Common Misconceptions

How is this different from dermal fillers?

Unlike dermal fillers, which add volume by attracting water, polynucleotide treatment works by stimulating your skin’s natural repair processes. In the case of under-eye treatment, we would not use dermal fillers as they do not provide the desired result and can prove dangerous. Instead, polynucleotides provide the new revelation in treating lines directly under the eye . The result is gradual but long-lasting skin rejuvenation. 

Where else can polynucleotides be used?

In addition to the under-eye area, polynucleotide treatment can also improve skin quality in the cheekbones, jawline, and around the mouth.

Does the treatment have any downtime?

Polynucleotide eye treatment has minimal downtime. Some mild redness or swelling may occur but typically subsides within a day or two.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How does Polynucleotide eye treatment work?

    This treatment uses a series of gentle micro-injections around the under-eye area to deliver natural DNA fragments (polynucleotides) that encourage skin repair and regeneration. These molecules boost collagen production, improve hydration, and strengthen the delicate skin around the eyes — helping to reduce fine lines, puffiness, and dark circles over time.

    How long do the results last?

    Results typically last 6 to 9 months, depending on your skin type and lifestyle. We recommend a course of three treatments spaced four weeks apart for optimal results, followed by maintenance sessions every few months to keep your skin looking fresh and rejuvenated.

    When will I see results?

    You’ll usually notice an improvement in brightness and hydration within 2–3 weeks. The results continue to develop gradually as collagen and elastin production increases, with the full effect visible a few months after your final session.

    Is it suitable for sensitive skin?

    Yes, polynucleotide treatments are generally safe for all skin types, including sensitive skin. The formulation is biocompatible and well-tolerated, with minimal risk of allergic reaction. During your consultation, we’ll assess your skin and ensure it’s suitable for treatment.

    Is the treatment safe?

    Yes. This treatment is safe, gentle, and well-suited to the delicate under-eye area. Polynucleotides are biocompatible and naturally integrate with your skin, so the risk of allergic reaction is extremely low. All treatments are carried out by our trained medical practitioners using precise techniques to ensure safety and comfort.

    Can I wear makeup after my treatment?

    You can wear makeup the next day, but we recommend avoiding it for at least 12–24 hours after the procedure to allow the skin to settle. This helps reduce the risk of irritation and ensures the best possible healing and results.

    What’s the difference between Polynucleotides and tear trough fillers?

    Polynucleotides do not add volume. Instead, they rejuvenate the skin from within. Fillers can sometimes cause puffiness or an unnatural look under the eyes, while Polynucleotides stimulate the skin’s natural repair process to create smoother, firmer, and more hydrated skin. It is a more natural and safer alternative for the under-eye area.

    Is there any downtime after the treatment?

    Downtime is minimal. You may notice mild redness or swelling, which usually settles within 24 to 48 hours. Most patients return to normal activities straight after their appointment. We will provide aftercare advice to help your skin heal quickly and evenly.

    Can I wear makeup after my treatment?

    It is best to wait 12 to 24 hours before applying makeup around the eyes. This allows your skin to settle and reduces the risk of irritation. Avoid rubbing or applying pressure to the area during this time.

    How many sessions will I need?

    Most patients have three sessions spaced four weeks apart to achieve the best results. During your consultation, we’ll assess your skin and design a treatment plan that delivers natural, long-lasting results.

    Can men have Polynucleotide eye treatment?

    Yes. Many of our male patients choose this treatment to address tired or dull skin under the eyes while maintaining a natural look. The results are subtle but noticeable, helping to restore confidence and a fresher appearance.

    What should I avoid after the procedure?

    Avoid touching or massaging the treated area for 24 hours. Skip saunas, steam rooms, and vigorous exercise for the first day to allow the product to settle properly and deliver the best possible results.

    Can Polynucleotide eye treatment be combined with other aesthetic procedures?

    Yes. It can be combined with other treatments such as Botox, micro needling, or skin boosters for enhanced rejuvenation. This combination helps improve skin tone, texture, and elasticity for a brighter, more refreshed appearance.

    Are the results natural-looking?

    Yes. Polynucleotide therapy works with your body’s own healing process, so the results develop gradually and look completely natural. The skin appears smoother, firmer, and more radiant without changing your natural features.

    Can I see before and after photos of under-eye treatments?

    Yes. We have a gallery of before and after photos showing real patient results for all our treatments.
