Milan sits at the centre of Italian aesthetic medicine, and regenerative skin treatments have a strong following here. Polynucleotides, sometimes described as a DNA based skin booster, are injected to improve skin quality rather than to add volume. The city's regenerative clinics use them on the face, neck, décolletage and under the eyes to support hydration and texture over a course. It is a quietly popular, undramatic treatment that suits the understated Milanese taste. Here is what to expect locally, the honest risks, indicative prices and how to choose well.
Medical disclaimer · Polynucleotide injections are a medical procedure. This page is general information, not medical advice. Results vary and are not guaranteed, and treatment should follow an in person assessment by a qualified medical practitioner. Prices are indicative ranges only.
A series of tiny injections delivers polynucleotides into the skin to support its own repair processes and hydration. A session usually takes around thirty minutes. It is not a filler and is not designed to add shape or volume, but to improve the quality and resilience of the skin itself.
It is a course treatment. A typical plan is two or three sessions spaced two to four weeks apart, with maintenance every few months. Results build gradually rather than appearing overnight, so patience and a full course matter more than a single visit.
Expect skin that looks better hydrated, smoother and a little more luminous, with some improvement in fine crepey texture. It is a subtle, quality led result rather than a visible change in volume or contour, and outcomes vary from person to person.

Polynucleotides are generally well tolerated, but they are still injected and downtime exists. Expect small injection marks, some redness and the occasional tiny lump or bruise that usually settles within a day or two. The risks that matter are bruising, swelling, infection if aftercare is poor, and rarely an allergic type reaction. Because many products are derived from purified fish DNA, anyone with a relevant allergy should raise it at consultation. This is not a volumising treatment, so expecting a filler like change is the most common disappointment, and a single session rarely shows the full effect. Choose a doctor or a medically supervised clinic, not an informal setting, and be wary of anyone promising dramatic lifting or guaranteed results from a regenerative skin treatment.
Good to know · Ask which product is used and how many sessions are recommended, who performs the injections, what realistic results look like for your skin, and whether any allergy applies. Treat it as a quality and hydration treatment, not a volume one.
