i. The Approach

Not hydration.
Regeneration.

Polynucleotides are purified fragments of DNA that act as biological signals in the skin — encouraging its own cells to repair, renew and rebuild quality from within. This is a regenerative treatment, not a filler and not simply a hydrator. Skin helped to renew itself.

Best known for the delicate under-eye area, polynucleotides are a favourite of Matt’s for tired, thin or lacklustre skin. Practitioner-led throughout.

The Film

The treatment, explained.

A closer look at polynucleotides at Hornchurch — the regenerative thinking behind them.

ii. How It Works

Repair, from within
the skin.

Placed into the skin, polynucleotides encourage the fibroblasts — the cells that make collagen and elastin — to become more active, support microcirculation, and calm inflammation. The effect is a gradual improvement in the skin’s underlying quality and resilience.

Under the eyes in particular, they help refresh thin, crepey and tired-looking skin — improving quality rather than adding volume.

In Treatment

In clinic. In person.

Every injectable at MNP is placed personally — the same hands, the same standard, whatever the treatment.

iii. Who It Suits

Made for skin
that needs renewing.

The under-eye area

Thin, crepey or tired under-eye skin — polynucleotides improve quality and can soften skin-quality shadowing.

Tired, thinning skin

Skin that’s lost quality and resilience — supported to renew itself for a firmer, healthier look.

Overall skin quality

A regenerative improvement in hydration, firmness and resilience across the face.

An honest note: under-eye dark circles have several causes. Polynucleotides help where the issue is thin or poor-quality skin — less so where it’s true hollowing or pigmentation. Matt will assess which applies to you, and tell you honestly what to expect.

From consultation

Polynucleotides are usually a short course for best results. Every plan begins with a consultation and an honest recommendation.

Good to Know

Questions, answered.

What are polynucleotides made from?
Purified fragments of DNA, most often derived from salmon or trout and highly refined. If you have a fish or seafood allergy, please tell us — as a precaution, treatment may not be suitable.
Are they the same as Profhilo?
No. Both improve skin quality without volume, but Profhilo works chiefly by hydration, while polynucleotides are regenerative — helping the skin’s own cells repair and renew. They’re sometimes combined.
Is there downtime?
Minimal. Small raised points and possible minor bruising, especially under the eyes, usually settle within a day or so.
How many sessions will I need?
Typically a short course of sessions a few weeks apart, with maintenance thereafter. Matt will map out the right plan for your skin.
Will they help my dark circles?
It depends on the cause. Where it’s thin, poor-quality skin, polynucleotides often help. Where it’s true hollowing or pigmentation, another approach may suit better — Matt will assess and advise.
