The under-eye area is one of the first places to show signs of tiredness, ageing, and volume loss. Whether it is dark circles, fine lines, or those shadowy hollows that appear over time, the delicate skin beneath the eyes often needs extra support. While Tear Trough Fillers have long been the go-to treatment, there is a new solution gaining attention: Polynucleotide injections.
But what do they actually do? And can they really help reduce dark circles and eye hollows?
Let us take a closer look.
What Are Polynucleotides and How Do They Work?
Polynucleotides are naturally derived molecules that support skin regeneration. Unlike traditional filler treatments that simply add volume, polynucleotide treatments work by encouraging your body’s own natural collagen production and improving skin structure at a cellular level.
When injected into the under-eye area, they promote long-term improvements in skin elasticity, hydration, and tone. These regenerative benefits of polynucleotides make them an excellent option for tired or ageing eyes.
Polynucleotides vs Tear Trough Filler
At HAVA Aesthetics in Esher, we offer both Tear Trough Filler and Polynucleotide injections. While hyaluronic acid fillers are effective at restoring volume loss and smoothing hollows instantly, polynucleotide injections work more gradually and focus on long-term skin quality.
This makes them a strong choice for patients who want a gentler, regenerative treatment that enhances the skin rather than simply filling beneath it.
Who Is This Treatment Best For?
Polynucleotide injections are ideal for those experiencing:
- Eye hollows or early signs of volume loss
- Tired-looking eyes despite good rest
- The appearance of puffiness from thinning skin
- Dullness or textural changes in the under-eye area
- Hesitation about using traditional dermal filler treatments
If you are looking for a softer approach that supports the skin’s biology, this could be the right option for you.
When Will You See Results?
Polynucleotide treatments do not give instant results like filler. Most patients begin to notice gradual improvement from around two to three weeks post-treatment, with optimal results building over several months.
A course of injections is typically recommended for the best outcome, followed by regular maintenance sessions every few months depending on skin response and treatment goals.
Aftercare and Recovery
This is a well-tolerated treatment with minimal side effects when performed by an experienced medical practitioner like Dr Hadeel Nimaa. You may experience light swelling, minor bruising, or tenderness in the under-eye area immediately after treatment, which usually resolves quickly.
To protect your results:
- Avoid heavy exercise for 24 hours
- Do not apply makeup to the area on the same day
- Use gentle skincare products for the first few days
- Keep well hydrated to support skin regeneration
