Polynucleotides: The Injectable Skin Boost Everyone's Talking About
At My Cosmetic Doctor in Harborne, Birmingham, we're always focused on bringing the latest and most effective treatments to help you feel your absolute best in your skin. We're thrilled to introduce a cutting-edge new treatment now available at our clinic: Polynucleotides.
To celebrate the launch of this highly-requested treatment, we're offering an exclusive introductory offer on Polynucleotide treatments throughout June, July, and August 2025. If you've been curious about advanced skin rejuvenation without adding volume or altering facial structure, this is the perfect time to try it.
What Are Polynucleotides?
Polynucleotides are a revolutionary injectable treatment derived from highly purified fragments of DNA, typically sourced from salmon or trout. But don’t worry – these are treated and sterilised to ensure complete safety and biocompatibility.
Rather than simply adding volume like traditional fillers, polynucleotides stimulate your body’s own regenerative processes, including collagen and elastin production, hydration, and improved tissue quality. Think of them as "cell whisperers," encouraging your skin to repair, renew, and regenerate from within.
Why We're Using the PLINEST Range by Dermafocus
At My Cosmetic Doctor, we only choose clinically proven, high-performing treatments for our patients. That’s why we’re offering PLINEST – the industry-leading polynucleotide products by Dermafocus.
Here’s why this range stands out:
* Winner of Injectable Product of the Year at the Aesthetics Awards 2025
* Backed by decades of scientific research and use in medical and aesthetic settings
* Advanced tissue repair properties, making it ideal for sensitive and delicate areas
* High purity and excellent safety profile
This is not just another trend – it’s a next-generation injectable that can truly transform the quality and health of your skin.
Who Are Polynucleotides For?
This is one of the most common questions we're asked. The truth is: polynucleotides are for almost everyone. Whether you’re in your 30s and looking to future-proof your skin, or in your 50s and beyond seeking natural regeneration, this treatment has benefits at every stage.
Let’s break it down:
Busy Women in Their 30s
- Not quite ready for Botox or filler? Polynucleotides give your skin a healthy, radiant boost without changing your facial shape.
- Ideal for dehydrated or dull skin caused by stress, lack of sleep, or environmental factors
Postpartum Mums (non-breastfeeding)
- Safe and ideal after pregnancy (once breastfeeding is complete)
- Targets the tired, puffy under-eye area and can help restore glow and elasticity
Perimenopausal & Menopausal Women
- Helps to combat hormonal skin changes like dryness, pigmentation, and rosacea
- Supports collagen regeneration for fine lines, thinning skin, and sagging
Mature Skin
- Stimulates deep regeneration to improve crepey texture, volume loss, and laxity
- Great for hands, neck, chest, and face – areas that often give away our age
What Can Polynucleotides Treat?
One of the reasons polynucleotide injections are so exciting is their versatility. They can be used across multiple areas of the body with tailored benefits.
Popular Treatment Areas:
- Under eyes (dark circles, hollowing, pigmentation)
- Face (texture, fine lines, dullness)
- Neck (sagging, crepey skin)
- Hands (volume loss, wrinkling)
- Chest/décolleté
- Scalp (to support hair growth)
Key Indications Include:
- Dark circles and under-eye hollows
- Pigmentation and melasma
- Rosacea and redness
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne scarring and enlarged pores
- General dullness and dehydration
How Do Polynucleotides Work?
Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers that simply add volume, polynucleotides work on a cellular level. Once injected into the skin, they:
- Stimulate fibroblasts to boost collagen and elastin
- Increase hydration through enhanced hyaluronic acid production
- Reduce oxidative stress (think of it like anti-ageing from the inside out)
- Improve skin thickness, elasticity, and overall glow
- Promote wound healing and cellular repair
Over a course of treatments, skin becomes plumper, healthier, and more luminous.
What to Expect During and After Treatment
Each treatment involves a series of tiny injections into the targeted area using either a fine needle or cannula. It’s relatively quick and well tolerated.
Treatment Protocol:
- Typically a course of 3 treatments spaced 2-4 weeks apart
- Maintenance every 6-12 months depending on your skin’s needs
Downtime:
- Mild redness or small raised bumps at injection sites (usually gone within hours)
- Occasional bruising
- Most people return to daily activities straight away
- This makes it a perfect "lunchtime treatment" with minimal disruption to your routine.
Results: What You Can Expect
Polynucleotides work gradually and cumulatively, so don’t expect overnight changes. Instead, improvements build over several weeks as your skin regenerates from within.
Patients typically report:
- Improved skin texture and tone
- Reduced dark circles and puffiness under the eyes
- Increased firmness and hydration
- Softer fine lines and an overall youthful glow
Think of it as long-term skin health, not just a quick fix.
FAQs: What Patients Want to Know
Is this the same as Profhilo or Skin Boosters?
No – although all are injectable skin treatments, polynucleotides actively regenerate tissue, while Profhilo and skin boosters primarily hydrate and stimulate collagen to a lesser degree. Think of polynucleotides as a deeper, more regenerative option.
Can I combine this with other treatments?
Yes! We often combine polynucleotides with other injectables like Botox or filler, depending on your goals. For example, it’s fantastic under the eyes where filler may not be suitable.
Is it painful?
Most patients report mild discomfort, but numbing cream is used to keep things comfortable.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes – polynucleotides are anti-inflammatory and often used to treat rosacea and redness-prone skin.
When will I see results?
Improvements typically start 2-3 weeks after the first session, with best results after a full course.
Final Thoughts: Should You Try Polynucleotides?
If you're looking for a natural way to improve skin quality, reduce tired-looking eyes, tackle redness or early ageing – polynucleotides might just be your new go-to.
With minimal downtime and impressive regenerative benefits, they fit beautifully into a modern, busy lifestyle, especially for those who want to look refreshed without looking "done".
This is your chance to try one of the most talked-about treatments in aesthetics, now available with an exclusive offerfor June, July, and August.
