The delicate skin in the under-eye area is often the first place to show both fatigue and early signs of ageing like fine lines. But what if you want to keep your eyes looking youthful for longer?
This is where the benefits of using Polynucleotides under the eyes can help.
Polynucleotides are an innovative treatment that work on a much deeper level than any other injectable treatment.
They help your skin to regenerate and repair itself from within, giving it a healthy bounce and glow. It is one of the most subtle and effective ways to support long-term skin quality.
If you are wanting to reduce dark circles, achieve smoother skin under the eyes and look naturally brighter, Polynucleotides are something you should consider before opting for more intensive cosmetic procedures.
If you want to know more about how Polynucleotide treatment works, its benefits and results, read on.
Or if you would like to talk to one of our doctors or practitioners about under eye rejuvenation in-person, book an initial consultation to understand more about your treatment options.
An overview of polynucleotide injections
Polynucleotides are an injectable treatment that help to improve overall skin quality.
They work particularly well in areas where we have thin skin or delicate skin that shows the early signs of ageing. This includes the under-eye area.
Unlike other injectables such as dermal fillers, they do not simply add volume. Instead, Polynucleotides use purified salmon DNA fragments to work on the skin’s structure and promote skin regeneration.
These fragments act like tiny messengers to encourage our fibroblasts to stimulate collagen production, elastin and hyaluronic acid.
By injecting these under the eyes, we are helping to support skin tissue repair, boost deep hydration and provide long-term skin rejuvenation.
We recommend Polynucleotide treatment to patients who want to target multiple skin concerns under their eyes, including dark circles, fine lines and crepey skin.
We will work with you to build a personalised treatment plan that will address your individual concerns and help you achieve fresher-looking under eyes.
How does polynucleotide treatment work?
Polynucleotide treatment works deep below the surface of the skin to encourage your skin’s natural repair processes.
We use a very fine needle to inject small amounts of Polynucleotides into the under-eye area or tear trough.
In the dermal layers of the skin, the injected DNA fragments act as biological messengers to help stimulate new collagen and elastin production.
They also support cell turnover and skin regeneration. Essentially, they are telling the skin to repair and regenerate itself from within.
Polynucleotides also bind water molecules, which helps them to act like a sponge that delivers deep hydration to the tear trough area.
Over the next few weeks and months, you will start to notice improved skin quality, fewer fine lines and more refreshed appearance.
The benefits of polynucleotide under eye treatment
Improves hydration
Polynucleotides attract and hold water within the skin. When injected in the under-eye area, it helps the skin appear plumper, brighter and more resilient.
Boosts collagen production
Because Polynucleotides encourage collagen production and elastin production, they help to strengthen the skin and improve its ability to repair itself.
New collagen and elastin result in firmer skin, smoother skin texture and provide long-term improvements to your overall skin health.
Reduces dark circles
Thin skin and poor skin quality can cause or lead to dark circles becoming more prominent as blood vessels under the skin become more visible.
Polynucleotides help to repair tissue, boost collagen production, and strengthen the delicate skin over time. This helps to improve skin tone and brighten the skin in the under-eye area.
Improves skin elasticity
New collagen and elastin can increase the flexibility and resilience of the skin under the eyes. This can help reduce the early signs of ageing in the tear troughs.
Smooth fine lines
As polynucleotides regenerate the skin and boost collagen and elastin, they help to soften fine lines around the eyes.
Supports tissue repair
Polynucleotides have anti‑inflammatory properties that can help calm skin irritation and encourage cellular repair.
Are polynucleotides the same as other treatments such as dermal fillers or PRP?
No, Polynucleotides are not the same as PRP and dermal fillers as they work very differently.
Polynucleotides vs dermal fillers
Dermal fillers, including tear trough filler help to add volume and structure to the skin. They are an ideal treatment if you have lost volume under the eyes.
Polynucleotides, on the other hand, focus on improving skin quality, boosting hydration and stimulating collagen. They do not add volume, but they regenerate the skin.
Polynucleotides vs PRP
PRP treatment uses your own blood plasma to stimulate cell repair. The results they produce can vary depending on your medical history and personal health.
Polynucleotides can provide more predictable and targeted skin regeneration. The purified DNA fragments directly support tissue repair and regeneration.
Polynucleotides vs hyaluronic acid skin boosters
Skin boosters focus on boosting hydration on the skin’s surface. They offer quicker visible hydration and glowing skin.
Polynucleotides provide longer lasting and deeper structural skin regeneration.
How long do the results last from polynucleotide eye treatment?
Most patients start to see improved skin texture, more vibrant skin, and brighter under eyes within the first few weeks after their treatment.
As new collagen forms, these results will continue to build over the next few months.
The results can last for around 6-12 months. This will depend on your age, skin health and lifestyle choices.
We do recommend maintenance sessions to help you under eye area look more refreshed and youthful for longer.
