Polynucleotides are a regenerative injectable that works by prompting the skin to repair and rebuild itself, rather than filling or freezing. London has become one of the busiest cities for the treatment, with dermatology and aesthetic clinics across Harley Street and beyond offering it. Here is what to expect locally, the honest risks, and indicative London prices.
Medical disclaimer · Polynucleotides are a medical aesthetic injectable. This page is general information, not medical advice. Results vary and are not guaranteed, a course of sessions is usual, and any treatment should be discussed with a qualified practitioner who has assessed you in person. Prices are indicative ranges only.
Fine injections place the polynucleotide gel just under the skin, often across the face, neck or under the eyes. Most appointments take around thirty minutes. London clinics typically use CE marked products and a numbing cream beforehand.
A starting course is usually two to three sessions spaced two to four weeks apart, with results building gradually and maintenance every several months. Judge the course, not one appointment.
Skin tends to look better hydrated, smoother and a little firmer over the weeks that follow. It is a quality and texture treatment, not a filler, so it will not add volume or lift sagging skin.

Downtime is generally short. Expect small raised bumps at the injection points that usually settle within a day or so, and the common possibility of redness, swelling, tenderness or bruising. Most people return to normal activities the same day. As with any injectable there is a small risk of infection, and rarely a reaction to the product, which is why a thorough consultation and a registered practitioner matter. Polynucleotides are commonly derived from purified salmon or trout DNA, so tell your practitioner about any fish allergy. Results appear gradually rather than instantly, and they are not guaranteed.
Good to know · Ask which product is used and that it is CE marked, who performs the injections and their registration, how many sessions you realistically need, and the full course price. A good clinic will tell you honestly if another treatment would serve your goal better.
