What Are Polynucleotides?
Polynucleotides are advanced regenerative injectable treatments made from highly purified DNA fragments. These are biocompatible with human tissue and act as powerful biostimulators, supporting cellular repair rather than masking visible signs of ageing.
When injected into the skin through micro‑injections, polynucleotides stimulate fibroblast activity to encourage the production of collagen and elastin, improve hydration, reduce inflammation, and strengthen the extracellular matrix.
Unlike dermal fillers, polynucleotides do not add volume or sculpt features. Instead, they work at a cellular level to improve skin quality, thickness, and resilience.
With decades of clinical research supporting their use, polynucleotides are widely regarded as a gold‑standard treatment for true skin regeneration.
When Skin Needs Repair, Not Coverage
Sometimes skin doesn’t just look tired. It feels compromised. Texture may become crepey, uneven tone, fine lines more apparent, or sensitivity harder to manage. Delicate areas such as the under eyes, mouth, neck, and décolletage often show these changes first.
Polynucleotides meet skin at this point. They don’t override natural processes. They support them. The goal is not change, but recovery: skin that functions better, heals faster, and looks more balanced and rested.
For younger clients, treatment helps preserve resilience and slow visible ageing. For more mature skin, it promotes repair and restoration.
This makes polynucleotides suitable for both preventative and restorative care, across a wide range of ages and skin types.
Benefits of Polynucleotides
Polynucleotides can support skin regeneration in many ways, including:
Improving overall skin texture and tone
Softening fine lines and early wrinkles
Strengthening thin or crepey skin
Supporting scar repair and post‑inflammatory changes
Calming redness, chronic inflammation, and hyperpigmentation
Improving skin quality under the eyes, around the mouth, and on the neck
Supporting hair growth in cases of thinning or alopecia
Enhanced hydration and plumpness
Combined with professional care, they form part of a holistic approach to long-term skin vitality.
Polynucleotides at Lux Derm
At Lux Derm, polynucleotides treatment begins with a thorough skin assessment to determine suitability, target areas, and individual skin needs. Treatment is delivered through fine micro‑injections into the superficial layers of the skin, stimulating repair and regeneration at a cellular level.
The procedure typically takes around 30 minutes and is performed under the care of Mohana. Minimal downtime is expected, though small injection marks or mild redness may occur briefly. Skin quality improves gradually over the weeks following treatment, with optimal results often seen after a course of sessions. Improvements in texture, hydration, and resilience continue to develop over time, with results lasting several months and maintained through periodic treatments.
Polynucleotides are not about instant transformation. They are about restoring what skin has gradually lost: strength, balance, and the ability to renew itself.
At Lux Derm, we use regenerative treatments to help skin look and feel healthier, calmer, and more resilient, now and in the years to come.
