Polynucleotide Injections P o l y n u c l e o t i d e I n j e c t i o n s

Polynucleotide Injections are injectable skin-quality treatments designed to support repair, hydration and overall skin condition.

They are often chosen by clients who want to improve the appearance of tired, crepey, delicate or less resilient skin without adding volume or changing facial shape.

At The Yvette Clinic, Kirsty will assess your skin, discuss your concerns and recommend whether Polynucleotide Injections are the right approach for you.

Treatment Details T r e a t m e n t D e t a i l s

Polynucleotide Injections sit within a newer generation of injectable treatments focused on skin quality rather than volume.

Unlike dermal fillers, they are not designed to reshape the face, fill folds or create contour. Instead, the aim is to support the condition of the skin itself, particularly where it appears tired, thin, crepey or less resilient than it once did.

They can be especially useful where the concern is not one line or one fold, but a general change in skin quality. Kirsty will assess your skin and recommend the most suitable treatment area and treatment plan.

At The Yvette Clinic, treatment areas are structured as Small, Large and Extra Large options:

Small: eyes
Large: face
Extra Large: face and neck

How It Works

Polynucleotide Injections use a specialist polynucleotide solution placed into the skin using a needle or cannula.

Polynucleotides are used in aesthetic medicine to support skin quality, hydration and tissue repair. Once placed into the skin, the treatment is designed to work gradually, supporting the skin’s own renewal processes over time.

This is different from Polyneedling, where a polynucleotide solution is applied topically during microneedling. Polynucleotide Injections deliver the solution into the skin, making it a separate treatment with a different method of delivery.

Kirsty will assess your skin, treatment history and goals before advising whether injectable polynucleotides are appropriate for you.

What To Expect W h a t T o E x p e c t

Every client’s skin, treatment history and goals are different. That’s why treatment at The Yvette Clinic begins with a consultation, so Kirsty can assess your skin, understand what you would like to achieve and tailor her advice to you.

The information below gives a general guide to what you can expect, including treatment time, likely results and any downtime.

Treatment Time

Your appointment will include consultation, skin assessment, treatment planning and the injectable treatment itself.

The treatment time will depend on the area being treated and whether Kirsty recommends a Small, Large or Extra Large option.

Results

Polynucleotide Injections work gradually.

Some clients notice that their skin begins to look fresher and more hydrated as the treatment settles. Improvements in skin texture, firmness and overall skin quality may continue to develop over the weeks that follow.

A course of treatment may be recommended depending on your skin, treatment area and goals. Kirsty will advise what may be realistic for you after assessing your skin.

Downtime

Downtime is usually minimal, but visible after-effects can occur.

You may experience temporary redness, tenderness, swelling, small raised bumps or bruising at the injection points. These usually settle as the product disperses and the skin recovers.

The under-eye area can be more prone to visible swelling or bruising, so it is sensible to avoid booking treatment immediately before an important event.

Aftercare A f t e r c a r e

Aftercare helps support the best possible response to Polynucleotide Injections.

Kirsty will provide clear, treatment-specific advice before you leave the clinic. In general, this may include avoiding rubbing or massaging the treated area, avoiding intense exercise, alcohol, heat treatments, saunas and steam rooms for a short period, and allowing the product time to settle.

You should follow Kirsty’s aftercare guidance carefully and contact the clinic if you experience anything that feels unusual, severe or concerning after treatment.

Kirsty may also recommend suitable skincare to support hydration, barrier function and overall skin quality between treatments.

Polynucleotide Injections [FAQs] P o l y n u c l e o t i d e I n j e c t i o n s F A Q s

Is This Treatment Right For Me?

Polynucleotide Injections may be suitable if your main concern is skin quality, repair support, crepiness, fine lines or a tired-looking appearance.

They may be particularly useful for delicate areas such as the under-eye area, or for clients who want an injectable treatment focused on skin condition rather than volume.

They may not be the right treatment for every concern. Deeper folds, significant volume loss, expression lines caused by muscle movement or more advanced laxity may require a different approach or a wider treatment plan.

Your consultation allows Kirsty to assess your skin, medical history, previous treatments and expectations before advising whether Polynucleotide Injections are appropriate.

Treatment may not be suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or where certain medical conditions, medications, allergies, active infections or recent treatments apply. Kirsty will discuss this with you before treatment is carried out.

Treatment [Prices] T r e a t m e n t P r i c e s

Polynucleotide Injection prices are shown within the booking system.

Treatment options are structured by area:

Small: eyes
Large: face
Extra Large: face and neck

For new clients, treatment begins with a £45 consultation with Kirsty. The consultation fee is redeemable against treatment booked.

What are Polynucleotide Injections?

Polynucleotide Injections are injectable skin-quality treatments designed to support repair, hydration and overall skin condition.

They are used to improve the appearance of tired, crepey, delicate or less resilient skin without adding obvious volume or changing facial shape.

Are Polynucleotide Injections the same as Polyneedling?

No.

Polyneedling uses a polynucleotide solution applied topically during microneedling. Polynucleotide Injections deliver the solution into the skin using a needle or cannula.

They are separate treatments with different methods of delivery.

Are Polynucleotide Injections the same as Skin Boosters?

They sit in a similar skin-quality category, but they are not the same treatment.

Skin Booster Injections are usually focused on hydration, glow and smoother-looking skin quality. Polynucleotide Injections are more repair-focused and may be recommended where the skin looks delicate, crepey, tired or less resilient.

Kirsty will assess your skin and advise which treatment is most appropriate.

Are Polynucleotide Injections the same as Dermal Filler?

No.

Dermal Filler is generally used to add volume, support or definition to specific areas. Polynucleotide Injections are designed to support skin quality rather than reshape the face or fill folds.

What areas can Polynucleotide Injections treat?

At The Yvette Clinic, treatment options are structured by area:

Small: eyes
Large: face
Extra Large: face and neck

Kirsty will assess your skin and advise which option is most suitable for your concerns.

Are Polynucleotide Injections good for under-eyes?

They may be suitable for clients concerned about delicate, crepey or tired-looking under-eye skin.

However, the under-eye area needs careful assessment. Not every under-eye concern is best treated with polynucleotides, and Kirsty will advise whether this is the right approach for you.

How many Polynucleotide Injection treatments will I need?

This depends on your skin, treatment area and goals.

A course of treatment may be recommended for best results, followed by maintenance where appropriate. Kirsty will recommend the most suitable plan after assessing your skin.

When will I see results from Polynucleotide Injections?

Results develop gradually.

Some clients notice that their skin begins to look fresher or more hydrated as the treatment settles, while improvements in texture, firmness and overall skin quality may continue to develop over the following weeks.

Do Polynucleotide Injections hurt?

You may feel a brief scratch, sting or pressure at the injection points.

Most clients find the treatment manageable. Kirsty will explain the process clearly before treatment begins and monitor your comfort throughout.

Is there downtime after Polynucleotide Injections?

Downtime is usually minimal, but temporary redness, swelling, tenderness, small raised bumps or bruising can occur at the injection points.

The under-eye area can be more prone to visible swelling or bruising, so it is sensible to plan around important events.

Can Polynucleotide Injections be combined with other treatments?

In some cases, yes. Polynucleotide Injections may form part of a wider treatment plan alongside Skin Boosters, Profhilo®, Anti-Wrinkle Injections, Dermal Filler or skin treatments.

The timing and combination of treatments matters, so Kirsty will only recommend this where it is appropriate for your skin and goals.

Do I need a consultation before Polynucleotide Injections?

Yes. Your consultation allows Kirsty to assess your skin, medical history, previous treatments and goals before advising whether Polynucleotide Injections are suitable for you.
