Polynucleotides

Give your skin a fresher, firmer appearance

Polynucleotides are bio-stimulating injectables that encourage a healthier skin environment by supporting fibroblast activity and tissue remodelling. They’re ideal for areas where skin looks tired or delicate, such as the under-eyes, face and neck, delivering a fresher, firmer appearance with minimal downtime.

At TE Clinic South London (Traitements Esthetiques), our polynucleotide skin boosters improve skin quality from within, supporting collagen and elastin, enhancing hydration, and softening crepey texture without adding volume. We’re based in Crystal Palace and welcome clients from all over South London and beyond, including Dulwich, Bromley, Croydon, Norwood, Chislehurst, Beckenham and surrounding areas.

The Treatment Process

  1. We assess your skin and medical history, then tailor a course (commonly 4 sessions, 1 month apart).
  2. Cleanse and optional topical numbing for comfort.
  3. A series of small, precise injections (often creating tiny papules that settle within 24–48 hours).
  4. Soothe and protect with calming serums and SPF; homecare guidance.
  5. Results build after each visit; maintenance sessions are advised according to goals and skin response, normally every 3 to 6 months

Aftercare

  • Expect redness, pinpoint bumps or mild swelling for 24–48 hours.
  • Avoid makeup on treated areas for 24 hours; keep skin clean and moisturised.
  • Skip strenuous exercise, heat (sauna/steam), swimming and alcohol for 24–48 hours.
  • Pause potent actives (retinoids, AHAs/BHAs, strong vitamin C) for 3–5 days or until comfortable.
  • Daily SPF 30–50 is essential; minimise sun exposure while healing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the potential side effects?

Common: temporary redness, tenderness, small papules/bumps, light bruising or dryness. Rare: infection or allergic reaction. Our medical team follows strict protocols and will advise you promptly if anything needs attention.

How many sessions will I need and when will I see results?

Most clients choose 4 sessions at one month intervals. Skin often looks fresher with 1–2 treatments, with firmer, smoother texture building over the following 1 -2 months. Maintenance is recommended 2 to 4 times per year.

Is this the same as dermal filler and will it change my face shape?

No. Polynucleotides do not add volume. They work on skin quality (hydration, elasticity, texture), so your facial shape stays natural. They can be combined with fillers or anti-wrinkle injections in a personalised plan if appropriate.
