3 Polynucleotide treatments
Polynucleotides in Cheltenham
Restore, repair, and regenerate your skin at a cellular level with Polynucleotide injections at Skin Redefined. This next-generation skin treatment goes beyond hydration and surface-level results — working deep within your skin to stimulate regeneration, collagen repair damaged cells, and improve overall skin health.
What Are Polynucleotides?
​​
Polynucleotides are biostimulating injectables made from fragments of purified DNA. Unlike dermal fillers, which add volume, or skin boosters, which hydrate, Polynucleotides actively repair and regenerate your skin from within.
​​
They work by:
​
-
Stimulating fibroblasts to produce more collagen and elastin
-
Improving hydration and elasticity
-
Reducing inflammation and oxidative stress in the skin
-
Supporting tissue repair for healthier, stronger skin
-
Stimulating the production of more fibroblasts, think of this as lots of extra collagen factories in the skin
​
In short, Polynucleotides don’t just make your skin look better, they actually make it function better.
​
How Do Polynucleotides Differ From Other Skin Boosters?
​
Traditional skin boosters (like hyaluronic acid) provide hydration and a dewy glow, but their effects are often temporary. Polynucleotides go much further, actively repairing DNA damage, encouraging long-term collagen production, and tackling issues linked with ageing, sun exposure, and inflammation.
This makes them especially effective for concerns like fine lines, wrinkles, under-eye bags, and crepey or sagging skin — areas where standard boosters may not deliver enough improvement.
