Polynucleotides
Repair. Restore. Rejuvenate.
Beautiful skin starts with looking after what's beneath the surface.
At Oakleigh Glow Aesthetics, polynucleotides are advanced injectable skin treatments designed to support your skin's natural repair and renewal processes, helping improve hydration, texture and elasticity.
Whether you're concerned about fine lines, tired-looking under-eyes, crepey skin or a loss of firmness, polynucleotides offer a gentle approach to improving your skin's overall quality.
It's not about changing your features. It's about giving your skin the support it needs to look healthier, smoother and naturally refreshed.
What Are Polynucleotides?
Polynucleotides are innovative injectable skin treatments designed to support your skin's natural repair and renewal processes, helping improve skin quality from within.
Made from highly purified DNA fragments, often derived from salmon or trout, polynucleotides work differently from traditional dermal fillers. Rather than adding volume or changing your features, they're used to support healthier-looking skin, improve hydration and encourage skin regeneration.
As we age, our skin naturally loses elasticity and firmness, while fine lines, uneven texture and tired-looking skin become more noticeable.
Polynucleotides may help improve these concerns gradually, supporting smoother, firmer and more radiant-looking skin over a course of treatments.
They're particularly popular for delicate areas such as under the eyes, as well as the face and neck.
The result? Gradual, natural-looking improvements that help your skin look healthier and more radiant, while still looking like you.
Is Polynucleotide Treatment Right for Your Skin?
Whether you're noticing the first signs of ageing, struggling with tired-looking under-eyes or feeling like your skin has lost some of its natural glow, polynucleotides could help.
Designed to support skin renewal and improve overall skin quality, these treatments offer gradual, natural-looking improvements tailored to your individual concerns.

Polynucleotides for Face, Under-Eyes, Neck & Décolletage
Polynucleotides aren't just for facial rejuvenation. They can be used to address a variety of skin concerns, from delicate under-eye skin to areas experiencing fine lines, dryness and a loss of elasticity.
Each area has its own needs, which is why treatments at Oakleigh Glow are tailored to your skin, your concerns and the results you'd like to achieve.

Give tired, dull or ageing skin a little extra support. Polynucleotides may help improve skin texture, hydration and elasticity, softening the appearance of fine lines for a smoother, fresher-looking complexion.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are polynucleotides, and how do they work?
Polynucleotides are injectable treatments made from highly purified DNA fragments, usually derived from fish. They're designed to support the skin's natural repair and renewal processes, helping improve hydration, texture and elasticity over time.
How many polynucleotide treatments will I need?
Most clients are recommended a course of approximately three treatments, although this depends on the product, treatment area and individual skin concerns. We'll discuss the most suitable treatment plan during your consultation.
When will I start seeing results?
Polynucleotides work gradually, so results aren't usually immediate. Some clients notice improvements in hydration and skin texture within a few weeks, with further changes potentially developing throughout their course of treatments.
How long do polynucleotide results last?
Results vary depending on your skin, lifestyle, the product used and your treatment plan. Improvements may last several months, with maintenance treatments sometimes recommended to help sustain the results.
Do polynucleotide injections hurt?
You may experience some stinging or discomfort during treatment, particularly around delicate areas such as the under-eyes. Most clients find the treatment manageable, and I'll talk you through everything to make you as comfortable as possible.
Is there any downtime?
Downtime is generally minimal, although redness, swelling, tenderness, small bumps or bruising can occur. These effects often settle within a few days, but bruising and swelling can sometimes last longer, particularly around the eyes. You'll receive full aftercare advice following your treatment.
What's the difference between polynucleotides and Profhilo?
Both focus on improving skin quality rather than adding facial volume, but they work differently.
Profhilo uses hyaluronic acid and primarily focuses on hydration, elasticity and skin remodelling.
Polynucleotides contain purified DNA fragments and are used to support skin renewal, with potential improvements in texture, fine lines and elasticity.
I'll help you decide which treatment is more suitable for your individual skin concerns.
Can polynucleotides help with dark circles under the eyes?
Polynucleotides may improve the appearance of tired-looking under-eyes, particularly where fine lines, crepey skin or poor skin quality are contributing factors.
However, dark circles can have several causes, including pigmentation, hollowing and genetics, so results vary and treatment may not be suitable for every concern.
Ready to Give Your Skin a Little Extra Love?
Sometimes your skin just needs a little extra support to look and feel its best.
Whether you're noticing fine lines, tired-looking under-eyes, crepey skin or a loss of firmness, polynucleotides could be a lovely way to support your skin's natural renewal process and bring back that fresh, healthy-looking glow.
At Oakleigh Glow, I believe aesthetic treatments should feel personal, relaxed and never rushed. I'll take the time to listen to your concerns, answer your questions and help you decide whether polynucleotides are the right choice for your skin.
Because it's not about changing how you look, it's about helping you feel confident in the skin you're in.
Love, Mariska x
