At Illuminate Aesthetics, we offer cutting-edge Polynucleotide treatments designed to repair, restore, and rejuvenate the skin at a cellular level. Often called skin boosters for true regeneration, polynucleotides stimulate healing, improve hydration, and promote long-lasting skin quality — naturally enhancing your complexion from within.
Polynucleotides are biocompatible, naturally derived molecules that work deep within the skin to stimulate collagen, elastin, and fibroblast activity. Unlike dermal fillers, which add volume, polynucleotides focus on skin repair and regeneration, making them ideal for treating fine lines, sun damage, scars, and overall skin ageing.
• Stimulates natural skin repair and regeneration
• Improves skin elasticity, tone, and hydration
• Reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and pigmentation
• Minimises acne scars and under-eye dark circles
• Suitable for face, neck, décolletage, and hands
• Safe, non-surgical treatment with minimal downtime
Once injected, polynucleotides bind to receptors on fibroblast cells, signalling them to increase the production of collagen and elastin. They act as building blocks for cellular repair, helping to fix damaged skin cells and stimulate the growth of new, healthy skin tissue. They support the extracellular matrix, enhancing the skin's ability to retain moisture and resulting in a plumper appearance. They also reduce chronic inflammation, which is a major factor in skin ageing and sun damage.

Individuals in good health seeking to prevent skin ageing, improve hydration and boost elasticity without a 'filled' look. They are highly suitable for treating fine lines, acne scars, and sun-damaged skin, particularly on the face, neck and under-eye area. Not suitable for those with fish or seafood allergies, people who are pregnant or breastfeeding, or individuals with active infections, auto-immune or skin disease.
Polynucleotides are generally well-tolerated with only minimal discomfort, often described as a light stinging or pinching sensation. Discomfort is brief, lasting only during the process.
Polynucleotide results typically begin to show initial improvements in hydration and radiance around 2-4 weeks after the first treatment. Maximum results, including improved texture, reduced fine lines and increased firmness are usually visible 8-12 weeks after a full course of 2-3 sessions.
There may be some swelling or redness for around 24-48 hours, which will subside.
A course of 2-3 treatments, spaced 3-4 weeks apart, is typically recommended for optimal results.
Polynucleotide treatment results typically last between 6-12 months after a course of sessions.
