What are Polynucleotides in our London clinic?

Improve skin quality, collagen and repair with advanced Salmon Sperm DNA formulation starting from £250* at our Marylebone clinic.

Polynucleotides are the very latest, cutting-edge treatment with the ability to induce bio-regeneration within the skin.

This injectable treatment is capable of both repair and rejuvenation and can be combined with other injectables to encourage skin to behave better over time. Polynucleotides, often referred to as PN or ‘Salmon Sperm’ treatments, trigger the body’s natural collagen and elastin production resulting in more rejuvenated and radiant skin. Polynucleotides have gained popularity as a injectable skin treatment suitable for all over the face and neck but importantly around the eyes where the skin is thinner and more delicate.

How are Polynucleotides different from HA fillers?

We work with PhilArt Polynucleotides which when compared with HA fillers serve very different purposes.

HA fillers are designed to restore volume, structure and augment the skin. If you are looking to shape of your nose through a non-surgical rhinoplasty, build a stronger jawline, or increase your lip volume then HA fillers would be the perfect treatment for you.

Polynucleotides focus on skin repair and regeneration, they look to improve texture, hydration and resilience without adding bulk, making them a more subtle option for patients who want refreshed skin rather than visible volume change – this is why they are a great under eye treatment, for dark circles or eye bags.

What are ‘Salmon Sperm’ polynucleotides and how do they work?

Polynucleotide treatments are sometimes informally referred to as “salmon sperm” because they are biologically derived from salmon DNA, specifically from the sperm cells of salmon. These cells are naturally rich in DNA fragments, which are then carefully purified and processed in medical laboratories to create highly refined polynucleotide compounds suitable for aesthetic and medical use.

Importantly, the final injectable product does not contain sperm cells and has no reproductive function. Instead, the extracted DNA fragments are used for their regenerative properties, helping to improve skin quality by supporting cellular repair, hydration, elasticity and tissue renewal. Salmon DNA is used because it is highly biocompatible with human skin, making it well tolerated and effective when injected.

Dr Joney on Polynucleotides

‘Within polynucleotides, you’ll find a complex mix of nucleotides, which are the building blocks of DNA,’ adds Dr Joney De Souza. ‘This composition triggers various biological processes in the skin, including collagen and elastin synthesis, hydration enhancement, and overall tissue repair.’

Ask us your question
Can polynucleotides help with dark under eye circles?

Polynucleotides can be very effective for certain types of dark under eye circles, particularly those caused by thin skin, poor skin quality or visible blood vessels beneath the skin. By strengthening the skin and improving circulation, they can reduce the shadowed appearance and create a brighter, healthier looking eye area over time.

How do polynucleotides compare to other treatments for dark under eye circles?

Dark under eye circles can have multiple causes, including pigmentation, volume loss, vascular visibility and skin thinning. Polynucleotides are best suited to improving skin quality and translucency. In some patients, they may be combined with other treatments such as laser, skin boosters or carefully selected HA filler to address pigmentation or volume related concerns for a more comprehensive result.

How many polynucleotide treatments are needed for the under eye area?

A course of treatments is usually recommended, often spaced several weeks apart. Improvements develop gradually as the skin responds biologically, with results continuing to improve over time. Maintenance treatments may be advised depending on skin condition and ageing concerns.

What can Polynucleotides do for me?

Polynucleotides offer natural-looking results with minimal risk. They enhance skin texture, address skin discoloration, and subtly increase volume and tightness, particularly under the eyes. With collagen-boosting properties and enhanced hydration, they act as a potent injectable moisture treatment. Suitable for both preventative care in younger skin and rejuvenation in aging skin, polynucleotides serve as versatile solutions for skin health and vitality.

Who is suitable for Polynucleotides?

You will be invited for a medical consultation to assess your suitability for Polynucleotide treatment.

What concerns can polynucleotides treat?

Polynucleotides are ideal for improving:

  • Fine lines and early ageing

  • Loss of elasticity

  • Dull, tired or dehydrated skin

  • Dark under-eye circles

  • Acne-prone or stressed skin

  • Redness and inflammation

  • Crepey texture
    They can be used on the face, neck, chest and delicate areas such as the under-eyes.

How many sessions do I need of Polynucleotides?

Most patients require a course of 2–4 treatments, spaced 2–4 weeks apart. Maintenance sessions every 6–9 months help sustain long-term results.

When will I see results?

Some early improvements such as hydration and radiance may be seen within days, but the deeper regenerative effects build gradually over 4–8 weeks as collagen and elastin increase.

Do polynucleotide injections hurt?

Most patients find the treatment very comfortable. A topical numbing cream can be applied beforehand, and the injections are quick and precise.

Is there any downtime?

Downtime is minimal. Mild redness, swelling or tiny bumps at the injection points may appear but typically settle within a few hours to 24 hours.

How do polynucleotides differ from fillers or Profhilo?

Unlike fillers, polynucleotides do not add volume or change facial structure.

Unlike Profhilo, which focuses on hydration and elasticity, polynucleotides stimulate deeper tissue repair, reduce inflammation and support long-term cellular regeneration.

Can I combine polynucleotides with other treatments?

Yes. They work particularly well alongside:

  • Microneedling

  • Exosomes

  • Mesotherapy

  • Profhilo

  • Dermal fillers (staggered appropriately)

  • Energy-based treatments

Our expert team will advise the best combination for your goals.

Are polynucleotides safe?

Yes. Polynucleotide products such as PhilArt are rigorously tested, highly purified and biocompatible. They integrate naturally with the skin’s repair processes.

Will I look different after polynucleotides?

No. Polynucleotides improve skin quality, not shape. You will look fresher, smoother and more revitalised, but still completely natural.
