The latest trend in aesthetics, Polynucleotides are a skincare treatment that (trust us and our patients) are worth the hype.
So, if you’re dreaming of an effortlessly glowing complexion, polynucleotides might just be your skin’s new best friend.
Read more to find out about how this treatment can help you and your skin at Dr Miriam A’s East London clinic.
First up, what are they?
Originally used in plastic surgery since the 1980s for treating burns, wounds, and scars, polynucleotides have recently gained traction in aesthetics. They are nucleotide chains – the building blocks of DNA and RNA – typically from salmon or trout sperm that are then purified and sterilised for medical use. Don’t worry, the fish are not killed to obtain their DNA.
These naturally occurring DNA fragments work wonders when it comes to rejuvenating tired, sagging, or stressed-out skin. Think of them as the ultimate skin repair team, stepping in to tighten the skin and smooth fine lines, whilst lifting the tissues by instructing a kickstart of your skin’s natural healing and replicating processes. This is key for anyone dealing with aging, scars, inflammation, or sun damage.
Whether you’re in your thirties and looking to prevent early signs of aging, or beyond your fifties aiming to revive your skin’s glow, polynucleotides can deliver visible results.
And here’s the best part: they’re safe and compatible with all skin types. Unlike dermal filler treatments, they offer a gentle yet effective option to plump and firm the skin without remaining in your body. So, the results you see are entirely YOU.
It’s a game-changer for anyone seeking a fresh, youthful look that feels as good as it looks. So, if you’re after that dewy, lit-from-within complexion, it might be time to give polynucleotides a try.
Polynucleotides may address more concerns than you expect…under eye bags, scars, and even hair growth!
Looking to improve the under-eye area? As Polynucleotides stimulate collagen, promote tissue repair and replace lost volume, it makes it an ideal treatment for the delicate eye area causing loose skin to tighten, deep lines to smooth, and dark circles to lighten. This is Dr Miriam A’s go-to treatment for under-eye problems because it is much safer than using dermal filler, which often causes complications of swelling and nodules.
Looking to lift your facial tissues and boost your skin complexion? Polynucleotides can do all of these things by enhancing the microenvironment of the treated tissues to promote regeneration.
Looking to treat scars caused by acne? Dr Miriam A has a special protocol for this where we break down the scar tissue tethering the skin from below and then administer polynucleotides to stimulate skin regeneration.
Looking to grow more hair? Polynucleotide hair loss treatment is able to regenerate your hair follicles to stimulate hair growth that is stronger and healthier while halting hair loss. By enhancing the scalp’s microenvironment, where fibroblasts produce more collagen and blood vessel growth improves blood flow to the scalp, hair follicles are nurtured to grow healthier hair. Their anti-inflammatory and wound-healing properties are vital in addressing hair loss, which is often driven by inflammatory processes. The protocol for hair growth is 4 sessions as follows : the first 2 injections are one week apart, the 3rd injection is 2 weeks later, and the final 4th injection is 6 weeks after the 3rd.
Get ahead of your collagen production
Polynucleotides regenerate your collagen by stimulating the skin’s fibroblasts (the cells responsible for collagen production). Collagen is the building block to our skin but over time it sadly decreases. We begin to lose collagen at a rate of 1% per year from our late twenties until peri-menopause or menopause when we’re then hit with a decline of a whopping 30% over a period of 5 years. This loss then begins to level out, ultimately stabilising to a loss of 2% each year.
At Dr Miriam A, we like to use the analogy of a bank account with patients when it comes to collagen. You want to have enough in the bank to cover any losses. If you’ve been working on collagen stimulation pre-menopause, then you’re likely to have more available in the bank to lose. Plus, as your fibroblasts are more reactive and receptive to collagen production than in your later years, the earlier you consider treatments, while your body has a better capability for regeneration, the better.
So, consider trying Polynucleotides to increase collagen reserves now, and your skin will thank you later.
“I’m in my mid-30s, and polynucleotides have made my skin look like it was in my 20’s. In the past, I found it hard to decide on in-office treatments, I asked myself questions like ‘Can I really see a difference? Was it worth the cost?’, but with polynucleotides, I had such a great result that I was genuinely surprised, and people all of a sudden were telling me how fresh I looked. I’ll definitely be continuing in future, the only downside I’ve had is that now I get ID’d to buy a bottle of wine far more than before.”

“I liked that it was a more natural solution to my under-eye concerns, rather than opting for tear trough fillers. I have noticed an improvement in the appearance of my dark circles, and the under-eye area appears less hollow. I find that make-up sits so much better under the eye now, and I am needing a lot less as the area generally appears healthier and fresher.”
