Polynucleotides
If you’d like to improve skin quality, hydration and elasticity, Polynucleotides can support the skin’s natural regenerative processes for a fresher and healthier-looking appearance. Rather than adding volume, the treatment works by stimulating skin repair and supporting collagen and elastin production, helping to improve texture, firmness and overall skin quality. At SVP Aesthetic, Dr. Stoyanka Petkova tailors every treatment to your individual skin needs, with a focus on safety, gradual improvement and natural-looking rejuvenation.
Your consultation and treatment plan are tailored to your individual needs. Meet Dr. Stoyanka Petkova or view treatment prices before booking at our Maynooth clinic.
POLYNUCLEOTIDES Q & A
What are Polynucleotides?
Polynucleotides are injectable regenerative treatments designed to improve overall skin quality rather than add volume or change facial contours. They contain purified DNA-derived fragments that help support the skin’s natural repair processes and stimulate fibroblast activity, which plays an important role in collagen and elastin production. Treatment can help improve hydration, elasticity, texture and firmness, making the skin appear healthier and more refreshed over time. Polynucleotides can be particularly useful for delicate areas such as the skin around the eyes, as well as other areas of the face and neck. At SVP Aesthetic, Dr. Stoyanka Petkova will assess your skin and create a personalised treatment plan based on your individual concerns and goals.
What can Polynucleotides improve?
Polynucleotides are designed to improve skin quality by supporting the skin’s natural repair and regeneration processes. Unlike dermal fillers, they are not intended to add volume or reshape facial features. Instead, the treatment focuses on improving the condition, texture and appearance of the skin over time.
Polynucleotide treatments may help to:
- Improve skin hydration and overall skin quality.
- Support collagen and elastin production.
- Improve skin firmness, elasticity and texture.
- Reduce the appearance of fine lines and crepey skin.
- Rejuvenate delicate areas such as the skin around the eyes.
- Create a fresher, healthier and more radiant appearance.
During your consultation at SVP Aesthetic, Dr. Stoyanka Petkova will assess your skin condition, concerns and treatment goals to determine whether polynucleotides are suitable for you and which areas may benefit from treatment.
When will I see results from Polynucleotides?
Polynucleotides work gradually by supporting natural regenerative processes within the skin, so results are not immediate. Improvements in hydration, texture and overall skin quality may become noticeable over the weeks following treatment, with further changes developing as the skin continues to respond. The timing and degree of improvement vary between individuals depending on factors such as age, skin condition, treatment area and individual response.
How many Polynucleotide treatments will I need?
Polynucleotide treatment is commonly performed as a course rather than a single session. The number of treatments and the interval between them depend on the product used, the area being treated, your skin condition and individual goals. A course of approximately 2–3 sessions spaced several weeks apart is often recommended, followed by maintenance treatment when appropriate.
Dr. Stoyanka Petkova will recommend a personalised treatment schedule following your consultation and will advise you on appropriate follow-up based on how your skin responds.
How much Polynucleotide treatment will I need?
The amount of polynucleotide product and the number of injection points required depend on the area being treated, your skin condition and your individual treatment goals. Polynucleotides are usually administered through a series of small injections across the treatment area rather than being used to create volume or reshape facial features. During your consultation, Dr. Stoyanka Petkova will assess your skin and recommend an appropriate treatment plan, including the number of sessions and treatment intervals suitable for you.
What are the possible side effects of Polynucleotides?
Temporary redness, swelling, tenderness and small raised bumps at the injection sites can occur following polynucleotide treatment. Mild bruising is also possible, particularly in delicate areas such as around the eyes. These effects are generally temporary and usually settle within a few days. Less common complications can include infection, prolonged swelling or an inflammatory reaction. Before treatment, Dr. Stoyanka Petkova will review your medical history, discuss the potential risks and provide appropriate aftercare advice.
