What Are Polynucleotides?
Polynucleotides are advanced injectable skin rejuvenation treatments made from purified chains of nucleotides, which are natural building blocks of DNA. In aesthetic medicine, they are used to support skin repair, regeneration and deep hydration at a cellular level.
They are commonly used in regenerative and anti-ageing treatments to improve skin quality, elasticity, hydration and overall skin health.
Unlike traditional dermal fillers that focus on volume, polynucleotides work by stimulating the skin’s natural repair processes for long-term improvement in skin function and appearance.
At Longeva Wellness, polynucleotide treatments are tailored to the individual through a clinician-led approach focused on natural-looking skin rejuvenation.
Treatment Areas
Polynucleotides are suitable for multiple areas of the face and body where skin quality needs improvement.
Commonly treated areas include:
| Face | Under-eye area | Neck |
| Décolletage | Hands | Jawline |
| Cheeks | Acne-scar-prone skin | Thin or crepey skin areas |
Patients travel to our clinic from Rochdale, Manchester and across Greater Manchester for personalised aesthetic treatments delivered under clinical supervision.
How the Treatment Works
After injection, polynucleotides help activate the skin’s natural regeneration processes by stimulating fibroblast activity, supporting collagen and elastin production, improving hydration levels, enhancing tissue repair and regeneration, reducing inflammation and oxidative stress, improving skin texture and elasticity and strengthening overall skin quality. This leads to healthier, firmer and more resilient-looking skin over time.
Benefits of Polynucleotide Treatments
Polynucleotide treatments deliver deep and long-lasting improvements in skin quality by significantly increasing hydration, improving elasticity and restoring a smoother skin texture. They enhance radiance and glow, reduce fine lines and crepey skin, support collagen stimulation, improve under-eye skin quality and promote skin repair and regeneration for natural-looking anti-ageing results with minimal downtime.
Results and Skin Quality Improvements
Many patients notice improvements in hydration, texture and overall skin radiance after the first session, with continued improvements developing following a full treatment course. The skin often appears fresher, smoother and more luminous as hydration and cellular regeneration processes improve over time.
Because polynucleotides work gradually by stimulating skin repair and regeneration, results typically continue to develop over several weeks as collagen activity and tissue quality improve. Full aftercare guidance is provided following every appointment to support optimal healing and results.
Suitability and Consultation
Polynucleotide treatments are particularly suited to patients looking to improve overall skin quality, hydration and regeneration rather than create volume or structural facial change. A consultation is required to assess skin condition, suitability and treatment goals before proceeding.
As a GPhC-registered pharmacy with pharmacist-led clinical governance, patient safety and professional care remain central to every treatment decision.
Our clinic offers free on-site parking, refreshments during your visit and convenient access from across Greater Manchester.

How is this different from a skin booster?
Skin boosters are hyaluronic acid. They hold water in the dermis and the effect lasts as long as the gel does. Polynucleotides are short DNA fragments that prompt your fibroblasts to produce new collagen and elastin. The change you see is the skin you have built, not the gel. The two are sometimes used in sequence in the same patient.
When will I see results?
Improvements are often gradual, with noticeable changes in skin texture, hydration and radiance developing over several weeks.
How many treatments are needed?
Most patients benefit from an initial course of 2–3 sessions followed by maintenance treatments every few months.
Is there any downtime?
Downtime is minimal. Temporary redness, swelling or mild bruising may occur at injection sites.
When to seek further help
Polynucleotides are not appropriate for every patient or every concern. If your concern is medical (for example active acne, an inflammatory skin condition, or an unusual mole), book a clinical consultation with your GP or a dermatologist first. If polynucleotides cause any swelling that does not settle within seven days, persistent redness, suspected infection or unexpected lumpiness, contact us on the route given in your aftercare letter.
