In recent years, Polynucleotides have become one of the most talked-about treatments within regenerative aesthetics — and for good reason. At YBC London, we are seeing more patients move away from heavily altered results and instead seek healthier, stronger, naturally rejuvenated skin. Polynucleotides sit at the centre of that shift.
But what actually are Polynucleotides, and why has the treatment become such a huge part of modern aesthetic medicine?
What Are Polynucleotides?
Polynucleotides are regenerative molecules derived from purified DNA fragments. In aesthetic medicine, they are used to support tissue repair, improve skin quality, stimulate collagen production and encourage cellular regeneration from within.
Rather than simply adding volume or temporarily masking signs of ageing, Polynucleotides work by improving the health and function of the skin itself.
This makes them particularly effective for patients wanting:
- Improved skin texture
- Better hydration
- Firmer skin
- Reduced crepey skin
- Under-eye rejuvenation
- Improved skin healing
- Natural-looking rejuvenation
Why Are Polynucleotides So Popular Right Now?
The aesthetics industry is evolving. Patients are becoming increasingly educated and are now prioritising long-term skin health over quick fixes.
Polynucleotides have gained attention because they support:
- Collagen and elastin stimulation
- Skin regeneration
- Anti-inflammatory benefits
- Tissue repair
- Improved skin quality over time
Results develop gradually and naturally, making them ideal for patients wanting refreshed, healthier skin without looking “overdone.”
Polynucleotides in Medicine
What many people do not realise is that Polynucleotides are not new. Their regenerative properties have been recognised within medicine for many years, particularly in areas involving tissue healing and repair.
They have been explored in regenerative medicine and used to support damaged or compromised tissue due to their ability to encourage cellular repair and improve skin quality.
Today, those same regenerative principles are becoming a major part of advanced aesthetic medicine.
Which Areas Can Be Treated?
At YBC London, Polynucleotides are commonly used to treat:
- Under-eye ageing
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Neck rejuvenation
- Skin laxity
- Acne scarring
- Crepey skin
- Dull or dehydrated skin
Treatment plans are always bespoke and tailored to the individual patient’s skin concerns and long-term goals.
What Is the Downtime?
Downtime is generally minimal. Some patients experience mild swelling, redness or small bumps immediately after treatment, which usually settle within a few days.
Because Polynucleotides work by stimulating regeneration within the skin, results continue to improve over the following weeks and months.
Why We Use Polynucleotides at YBC London
At YBC London, we focus heavily on regenerative and natural-looking aesthetics. We believe healthy skin is the foundation of good aesthetic results, which is why Polynucleotides have become such an important part of many of our treatment plans.
Combined with medical-grade skincare, aftercare, lifestyle support and other advanced treatments, Polynucleotides can play a significant role in improving overall skin health and rejuvenation.
If you are unsure whether Polynucleotides are suitable for you, we always recommend booking a consultation to create a bespoke treatment plan tailored to your skin concerns and goals.
