At E&G Skin Clinic Edinburgh, we are proud to offer the latest advancements in skin rejuvenation treatments, including polynucleotide injections. These cutting-edge therapies are quickly becoming a favourite among clients looking for natural, long-lasting improvements in skin health and appearance.
But what exactly are polynucleotide injections? Let’s explore everything you need to know.
What Are Polynucleotide Injections?
Polynucleotide (PN) injections are an innovative regenerative treatment designed to revive and repair the skin at a cellular level. Polynucleotides are naturally occurring biopolymers — the building blocks of DNA — that stimulate the skin’s ability to regenerate tissue, hydrate deeply, reduce inflammation, and improve elasticity.
Unlike traditional dermal fillers, which add volume, polynucleotide injections work by boosting your skin’s own healing and rejuvenating processes, offering a more natural and sustainable improvement over time.
The Benefits of Polynucleotide Injections
Polynucleotide treatments offer a wide range of benefits, making them suitable for various skin concerns:
Deep Skin Hydration: They attract water molecules, enhancing hydration from within.
Improved Skin Texture and Tone: Helps smooth out roughness and even skin tone.
Reduction of Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Stimulates collagen and elastin production.
Healing and Repair: Effective for treating acne scars, sun-damaged skin, and redness.
Reduced Inflammation: Especially beneficial for sensitive or rosacea-prone skin.
Increased Elasticity and Firmness: Tightens and lifts areas affected by sagging.
In short, polynucleotides help your skin look healthier, fresher, and younger—naturally.
How Are Polynucleotide Injections Done?
At E&G Skin Clinic Edinburgh, your polynucleotide treatment is carried out by experienced aesthetic practitioners following a gentle, client-focused approach:
Consultation: We begin with a thorough skin consultation to assess your needs and develop a tailored plan.
Preparation: Your skin is cleansed, and a topical numbing cream is applied to maximise comfort.
Treatment: The polynucleotide solution is injected into targeted areas using fine needles or micro-cannulas, depending on the treatment plan.
Aftercare: Minimal downtime is required. You may experience slight redness or swelling, which usually resolves within 24–48 hours.
The procedure typically takes 30 to 45 minutes and is relatively pain-free.
Where Can Polynucleotide Injections Be Used?
Polynucleotide treatments are incredibly versatile. At E&G Skin Clinic Edinburgh, we offer treatments for:
Face (full face or focused areas like under the eyes)
Neck and Décolletage
Hands
Scarring (such as acne scars)
Stretch Marks
Delicate Eye Area (especially for tear troughs and fine lines)
This treatment is ideal for clients seeking natural-looking rejuvenation without the heaviness sometimes associated with fillers.
How Often Do You Need Polynucleotide Treatments?
For optimal results, we typically recommend:
Initial Course: 2 to 3 sessions spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart.
Maintenance: One top-up session every 4 to 6 months, depending on your skin’s needs.
After your initial course, you’ll notice progressive improvements in your skin’s hydration, texture, and firmness over several months, making polynucleotide therapy a fantastic long-term investment in your skin health.
