Polynucleotide Treatment Luxia

What Are Polynucleotides?

Polynucleotides are purified chains of nucleotides—the building blocks of DNA—used in aesthetic medicine as injectable skin-conditioning treatments.

They are designed to support the skin’s natural repair environment and improve overall skin quality gradually. Emerging clinical evidence suggests potential benefits for hydration, elasticity, texture and skin rejuvenation, although research is still developing and individual outcomes vary.

Unlike traditional dermal fillers, Polynucleotides are not primarily intended to add volume or reshape facial features. Their focus is on helping the skin appear healthier, smoother and more refreshed.

What Can Polynucleotides Improve?

Polynucleotide treatment may help improve the appearance of:

• Fine lines and crepey skin

• Dehydrated or tired-looking skin

• Reduced firmness and elasticity

• Uneven skin texture

• Dullness and loss of radiance

• Delicate under-eye skin

• Early signs of ageing

• Skin affected by environmental stress

• Certain scars or areas of compromised skin quality

The results are intended to develop gradually and remain natural-looking.

Treatment Areas

Polynucleotides may be suitable for several areas, including:

• Under-eye area

• Face

• Neck

• Décolletage

• Hands

• Around the mouth

• Jawline

• Other areas showing reduced skin quality

The product and technique used will depend on the treatment area, your skin condition and your individual anatomy.

Polynucleotides for the Under-Eyes

The under-eye area is one of the most requested areas for Polynucleotide treatment.

The treatment may be recommended for clients concerned about:

• Fine lines

• Crepey texture

• Dehydrated skin

• Tired-looking eyes

• Reduced elasticity

• Poor overall skin quality

Polynucleotides do not directly remove eye bags or replace lost facial volume. Your practitioner will assess whether your concerns are related to skin quality, pigmentation, hollowing, fluid retention or another cause before recommending treatment.

The Luxia Polynucleotide Experience

Personalised Consultation

Your journey begins with a detailed consultation and assessment of your skin.

We will discuss your concerns, medical history, previous aesthetic treatments and desired result before determining whether Polynucleotides are suitable for you.

Bespoke Treatment Planning

Your treatment plan will be tailored to the area being treated, the condition of your skin and the specific product selected.

Precise Application

The product is administered using a series of carefully placed injections. Different injection methods may be used depending on your anatomy and treatment goals.

Aftercare and Review

You will receive clear aftercare guidance and ongoing support. A course of treatments and future maintenance appointments may be recommended.

Benefits of Polynucleotide Treatment

• Supports overall skin quality

• Improves the appearance of hydration

• Softens the look of fine lines

• Promotes smoother-looking texture

• Supports firmness and elasticity

• Suitable for delicate treatment areas

• Does not primarily add facial volume

• Produces gradual, natural-looking changes

• Can complement other aesthetic treatments

• Requires minimal interruption to daily life for many clients

Evidence supporting Polynucleotides is promising but remains limited compared with longer-established aesthetic treatments. Results cannot be guaranteed.

What Does the Treatment Feel Like?

You may feel a light pinching or stinging sensation as the injections are administered.

The number of injection points will depend on the treatment area and technique used. Comfort levels vary, and your practitioner will explain what to expect before beginning the procedure.

What to Expect After Treatment

Temporary reactions around the injection sites are common and may include:

• Small raised bumps

• Redness

• Swelling

• Tenderness

• Bruising

• Mild itching

• Temporary sensitivity

Small bumps may remain visible for a short period while the product settles. Swelling can be more noticeable when treating the delicate under-eye area.

Most reactions settle gradually, but recovery experiences vary between clients.

Seek medical advice promptly if you develop severe pain, increasing redness, marked discolouration, visual disturbance, signs of infection or any reaction that concerns you.

Polynucleotide Aftercare

Following your treatment, you may be advised to:

• Avoid touching or rubbing the treated area

• Avoid applying makeup for the recommended period

• Avoid strenuous exercise

• Avoid alcohol

• Avoid saunas, steam rooms and excessive heat

• Avoid direct sun exposure

• Apply broad-spectrum SPF

• Postpone other facial or injectable treatments

• Follow all personalised instructions provided by your practitioner

Aftercare guidance may vary according to the product and treatment area.

When Will I See Results?

Polynucleotide results are not usually immediate.

The skin may begin to appear more hydrated and refreshed during the weeks following treatment, with further improvements developing gradually.

The timing and extent of your results will depend on:

• Your starting skin condition

• Your age and lifestyle

• The treatment area

• The product used

• The number of sessions completed

• Your individual biological response

Your practitioner will discuss realistic expectations during your consultation.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

Polynucleotides are commonly offered as a course rather than a single treatment.

The number of sessions and time between appointments vary according to the product, treatment area and individual treatment plan. Published protocols also differ, reinforcing the importance of personalised clinical assessment.

Maintenance appointments may be recommended to help preserve your results.

Am I Suitable for Polynucleotides?

Polynucleotide treatment may be suitable for adults who want to improve skin quality without significantly changing their natural facial shape.

Treatment may not be suitable if you:

• Are pregnant or breastfeeding

• Have an active skin infection

• Have inflammation in the treatment area

• Have an active cold sore outbreak

• Have certain medical conditions

• Have a known allergy to the product or its ingredients

• Have previously experienced a serious reaction to an injectable treatment

• Take medication that may affect bruising, healing or suitability

Some Polynucleotide products are derived from fish sources. You must tell your practitioner about any fish allergies or other known allergies before treatment.

A full consultation and suitability assessment are required.

Polynucleotides vs Skin Boosters

Polynucleotides and Skin Boosters are both injectable treatments used to improve skin quality, but they are not identical.

Polynucleotides

Polynucleotides are generally chosen to support skin renewal, texture, firmness and the appearance of delicate or compromised skin.

Skin Boosters

Many Skin Boosters contain hyaluronic acid and are primarily selected to improve hydration, softness and radiance.

The best option will depend on your skin, concerns and desired result. In some cases, the treatments may be incorporated into a wider skin-rejuvenation plan.

Polynucleotides vs Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are generally used to restore volume, define contours or enhance specific facial features.

Polynucleotides are not primarily volumising treatments. They are used to improve the condition and appearance of the skin while preserving your natural facial structure.

Clients experiencing significant hollowing or volume loss may require a different treatment or a carefully planned combination approach.

Can Polynucleotides Be Combined with Other Treatments?

Polynucleotides may complement treatments such as:

• Skin Boosters

• Dermal fillers

• Anti-wrinkle treatments

• Microneedling

• Chemical Peels

• LED light therapy

• Professional skincare

• Other advanced skin treatments

Treatments may need to be performed at separate appointments to protect your skin and support appropriate recovery.

Your Luxia practitioner will create a safe, personalised schedule.
