Polynucleotides Surrey
Treatment Overview
Polynucleotides are advanced regenerative injectable treatments used in modern skin rejuvenation therapy to repair and strengthen ageing or damaged skin tissues from within.
Derived from highly purified DNA fragments (commonly PDRN sourced from salmon DNA), polynucleotides stimulate fibroblast activity, increase collagen production, improve skin elasticity, and support long-term cellular repair.
At HAVA Aesthetics in Esher, Surrey, polynucleotide treatments are used to restore skin tone, improve uneven skin texture, reduce pigmentation issues, and strengthen sagging or thinning skin without adding volume.
Unlike dermal fillers, this treatment focuses purely on regeneration, enhancing structural integrity rather than altering facial contours.

How Do Polynucleotides Work?
Once delivered into carefully selected injection sites within the dermis, polynucleotides:
- Stimulate fibroblast activity
- Increase collagen and elastin synthesis
- Improve microcirculation
- Repair damaged skin tissues
- Reduce inflammation
- Strengthen the skin barrier
- Support recovery from UV rays and environmental damage
This biological response gradually improves skin elasticity, resilience and overall tone. Rather than temporarily hydrating the skin, polynucleotides promote genuine tissue regeneration.
Benefits of Polynucleotide Treatment
Polynucleotides are ideal for patients seeking regenerative skin improvement rather than adding structural volume. This treatment works to strengthen and repair the skin from within, improving overall skin quality and resilience.
Benefits include improved skin tone and radiance, reduction in uneven skin tone and texture, enhanced elasticity, and softening of fine lines and wrinkles. Polynucleotides can also help improve acne scars, reduce visible pigmentation concerns, support thinning or fragile skin, and improve mild skin laxity by strengthening skin tissues.
This treatment is suitable for a wide range of skin types, particularly ageing, sun-damaged, or compromised skin requiring restoration and long-term skin health support.
Polynucleotides vs Profhilo
Both are injectable skin treatments, but they work differently. Profhilo is a hyaluronic acid bio-remodelling treatment that hydrates and gives a temporary firming effect. Polynucleotides go further, using purified DNA fragments (PDRN) to stimulate genuine tissue regeneration and collagen repair, improving skin strength and quality over the longer term. Dr Hadeel Nimaa will advise which suits your skin at your consultation.
Polynucleotides Under-Eye Treatment
Polynucleotides under eyes are one of the most popular uses of this treatment, working as an advanced under-eye rejuvenation option.
They help improve:
- Thin or crepey skin
- Fine lines
- Dark circles linked to thinning tissue
- Early laxity
Unlike tear trough filler, polynucleotides improve skin quality without adding volume, making them ideal for delicate areas prone to swelling or irregularity.
Polynucleotides for Acne Scars & Pigmentation Issues
Polynucleotide therapy is highly effective for:
- Acne scars
- Textural irregularities
- Post-inflammatory pigmentation issues
- Sun damage caused by UV rays
- Uneven Skin Tone
By stimulating collagen remodelling, this regenerative treatment smooths uneven texture and strengthens damaged skin tissues.
Who Is Suitable for Polynucleotide Treatment?
Polynucleotides are suitable for patients experiencing fine lines and wrinkles, sagging skin, dullness or dehydration, uneven skin tone or texture, acne scars, early signs of ageing, or a compromised skin barrier. They are particularly beneficial for those who do not require volume enhancement but wish to improve overall skin quality and support structural skin repair.
During your consultation, we carefully assess your skin condition, concerns, and full medical history to determine suitability. While polynucleotides are appropriate for many patients, they may not be recommended for individuals with active skin infections or certain inflammatory skin conditions. These factors are thoroughly screened to ensure treatment is both safe and effective.
The Treatment Process
Average Treatment Time: 30–45 minutes.
Your treatment begins with a detailed medical consultation to determine appropriate injection sites and treatment areas.
Using fine needles, polynucleotides are placed strategically within the dermis to stimulate regeneration.
A course of three sessions spaced four weeks apart is typically recommended.
You will receive detailed post-care instructions following treatment to optimise results and reduce risk of irritation.
A review appointment is scheduled to assess progress and determine whether additional sessions are required.
Downtime & Side Effects
Polynucleotide treatments are minimally invasive with limited downtime.
You may experience:
- Mild swelling
- Redness
- Small injection marks
- Temporary tenderness
These effects typically resolve within a few days.
Patients are advised to:
- Avoid intense heat or sun exposure
- Avoid strenuous activity for 24–48 hours
- Protect the skin from UV rays
Duration of Results
The duration of results varies depending on factors such as age, lifestyle, skin condition, and overall skin health at the time of treatment. Individual regenerative capacity and adherence to aftercare can also influence how long improvements are maintained.
Most patients experience visible improvement lasting up to 9 months, with a course of treatments typically recommended for optimal outcomes. Maintenance sessions can help extend and reinforce the regenerative benefits, supporting long-term skin quality and resilience.
Hydration and skin luminosity often improve in the early weeks following treatment, while collagen stimulation develops gradually over several weeks. As the skin regenerates from within, texture, firmness, and overall tone continue to refine, creating natural, progressive enhancement.

Frequently asked questions
How much do polynucleotide treatments cost in Surrey?
Polynucleotide treatments start from £350 per area. A course of three sessions is usually recommended, and your exact cost is confirmed at your consultation depending on the areas treated.
Are polynucleotides worth it?
Polynucleotides can be worth considering if you want to improve skin quality without adding facial volume. They work by stimulating fibroblast activity, collagen and elastin production to support skin repair, helping to improve fine lines, elasticity, texture, hydration and overall skin resilience. Results develop gradually and can last up to nine months following a recommended treatment course.
How many sessions of polynucleotides will I need?
A course of three polynucleotide treatment sessions, typically spaced around four weeks apart, is usually recommended for optimal results. Your treatment plan may vary depending on your skin condition, concerns and treatment area. A review appointment can then determine whether additional or maintenance sessions would be beneficial.
Can anyone have polynucleotide treatment?
Polynucleotides are suitable for a wide range of patients and skin types, particularly those experiencing fine lines, dullness, uneven texture, acne scarring, early skin laxity or other signs of ageing. However, treatment may not be appropriate for people with active skin infections or certain inflammatory skin conditions. At HAVA Aesthetics, your medical history and skin condition are assessed during consultation to confirm that treatment is suitable for you.
Who is suitable for polynucleotide treatments?
Polynucleotides are suitable for most skin types and ages. Whether you’re a younger patient seeking early skin preservation or someone noticing visible signs of ageing, this effective solution can help improve skin firmness, hydration, and overall skin quality.
Does the treatment hurt?
The injectable skin boosters may cause mild discomfort, but a topical numbing cream is used beforehand to ensure a comfortable treatment. Most describe the sensation as a slight pinch.
Are there any side effects to polynucleotides?
Common side effects include mild swelling, bruising, or mild redness at the injection sites. These temporary side effects typically subside within a few days. As with all dermal filler treatments, your practitioner will discuss all potential side effects at your consultation.
What aftercare is required?
Yes. Aftercare advice includes avoiding strenuous activities and excessive sun exposure for 24–48 hours. Do not touch or massage the treated area and follow your practitioner’s guidance to optimise results. Normal activities can usually resume the day after treatment.
When will I see results, and how long will they last?
Improvements may be noticed after the initial session, with a youthful complexion and skin hydration becoming more apparent as treatment progresses. With a full course, results can last up to 9 months. Touch-up treatments and a maintenance session are recommended for long-term benefits.
Are polynucleotides good for under eyes?
Yes. Polynucleotides under eyes improve thin, crepey skin, fine lines and dark circles linked to thinning tissue, without adding volume, making them a gentle option for the delicate under-eye area.
