Polynucleotides in Leeds at Skinfinity are one of our most popular treatments for under eye skin quality, fine lines and overall skin regeneration, all delivered by our doctor in a CQC-registered clinic. Polynucleotides work by stimulating deep skin regeneration, improving hydration, and enhancing the skin’s natural repair processes. They are derived from purified DNA fragments, which have powerful bio-stimulating properties that encourage cell renewal and collagen production.
When injected into the skin, polynucleotides:
Stimulate Fibroblasts – These are essential cells responsible for producing collagen and elastin, which help improve skin firmness, elasticity, and overall texture.
Boost Hydration – Polynucleotides attract water molecules, deeply hydrating the skin and restoring a plump, youthful appearance.
Enhance Skin Repair – They promote tissue regeneration, making them effective for treating fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and even sensitive or damaged skin.
Reduce Inflammation – Polynucleotides have anti-inflammatory properties, helping to calm redness, irritation, and conditions like rosacea.
The result is healthier, stronger, and more radiant skin with long-term benefits.
Most patients start with a course of two to three polynucleotide sessions, spaced two to three weeks apart. After the initial course, maintenance treatments are recommended every six to nine months to preserve results. The exact frequency will depend on your skin concerns, how your skin responds, and your doctor's assessment at follow-up.
Polynucleotides can be used to treat various areas of the face and body, targeting concerns like skin laxity, hydration, and overall rejuvenation. Common treatment areas include:

More serious risks are rare but can include localised infection, small lumps under the skin, or an allergic reaction. To minimise these risks we carry out a thorough consultation beforehand, use only high-quality products, and provide clear aftercare instructions.
Immediately after a polynucleotide treatment, you may notice some mild and temporary side effects, which are completely normal and typically settle within a few hours to a couple of days.
You can expect:
These effects are usually short-lived and should not interfere with your daily activities. It’s advised to avoid touching the area, wearing makeup for at least 6 hours, and to steer clear of heat (like saunas, steam rooms, or hot baths), intense exercise, and alcohol for 24–48 hours. Your practitioner will provide personalised aftercare guidance based on your treatment area.
The results of polynucleotide treatments typically last around 6 to 9 months, depending on individual factors such as age, skin condition, lifestyle, and the area being treated.
For best results, a course of treatments is usually recommended—often 3 sessions spaced 2–4 weeks apart. After the initial course, maintenance treatments every 6 months help to prolong and enhance the benefits. Over time, with consistent treatment, many patients see continued improvements in skin texture, hydration, firmness, and overall skin quality.
Polynucleotide treatments are generally considered safe when carried out by a qualified medical professional. They use highly purified DNA fragments—often derived from salmon or trout—that are biocompatible and well-tolerated by the body. These treatments work by stimulating tissue regeneration, improving skin hydration, and encouraging collagen production. Because the polynucleotides are extensively purified and free from chemical cross-linking agents, the risk of allergic reactions or complications is low. Side effects are typically minimal, with some mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites, which usually settle within a few days.
It’s best to avoid makeup for at least 24 hours post-treatment to prevent irritation or infection.
