Polynucleotides have quickly become one of the most in-demand skin rejuvenation treatments in London — and for good reason. These scientifically backed injections improve hydration, elasticity, fine lines, and overall skin quality in a way that looks incredibly natural.
At AesthetiCare Clinic in Barbican, Central London, Dr. Khaula Safdar offers polynucleotide treatments tailored to your unique skin needs. As a doctor-led aesthetic clinic, we prioritise safety, science, and natural results.
Why Polynucleotides Work So Well
Polynucleotides are powerful bio-stimulating molecules derived from purified DNA fragments. When placed into the skin, they activate your body’s natural repair processes — enhancing regeneration from within rather than masking concerns on the surface.
This treatment works exceptionally well because:
It boosts fibroblast activity (the cells responsible for collagen and elastin)
It repairs and revitalises damaged or ageing skin
It increases hydration through improved water-binding capacity
It reduces inflammation and oxidative stress
It delivers gradual, natural improvements without altering facial structure
The result is healthier, fresher, firmer skin — not an artificial change.
Information: What Are Polynucleotides?
Polynucleotides are naturally occurring molecules extracted from DNA. In aesthetics, they are injected into the skin to support:
Cell regeneration
Collagen and elastin production
Deep hydration
Tissue repair
Unlike dermal fillers or anti-wrinkle injections, polynucleotides do not change your facial shape. Instead, they improve skin quality, making them ideal for rejuvenating delicate areas such as:
Under-eyes
Face
Neck
Décolletage
Hands
When injected, polynucleotides act as messengers that encourage your skin to repair, regenerate, and restore itself — creating a more youthful and radiant complexion over time.
Benefits of Polynucleotide Treatments
Patients choose polynucleotides in London because the results are subtle, natural, and scientifically backed.
Here are the key benefits:
🌿 Deep, Long-Lasting Hydration
They increase the skin’s ability to retain moisture, improving suppleness and glow.
✨ Softening Fine Lines & Wrinkles
By stimulating collagen, polynucleotides reduce fine lines and enhance skin smoothness.
💫 Improved Elasticity & Firmness
Skin feels firmer, stronger, and more resilient.
🌟 Enhanced Skin Tone & Texture
Increased cell turnover leads to brighter, more even-toned skin.
🧬 Regeneration from Within
Polynucleotides repair damaged skin at a cellular level — supporting long-term rejuvenation.
⏱ Minimal Downtime
Most patients return to normal activities immediately after treatment.
Ideal Candidate for Polynucleotides
You may be an excellent candidate for polynucleotides if you are experiencing:
Early signs of ageing
Fine lines, dullness, or loss of elasticity
Under-eye hollowness, crepiness, or tired appearance
Dehydrated or thinning skin
Acne scarring or textural irregularities
General loss of radiance
This treatment is suitable for all skin types and is especially popular for those wanting natural, refreshed results without adding volume.
How the Treatment Works
Your polynucleotide treatment at AesthetiCare Clinic follows a structured, doctor-led protocol to ensure precision and safety.
Step 1: Consultation
You’ll meet with Dr. Khaula to assess your skin, understand your goals, and determine the best treatment plan.
Step 2: Preparation
The skin is cleansed, and numbing cream may be applied for comfort.
Step 3: Polynucleotide Injections
Using fine needles or cannulas, polynucleotides are injected into selected areas of the skin. The process is quick and well-tolerated.
Step 4: Cellular Activation
Over the next 4–6 weeks, the polynucleotides trigger fibroblasts to regenerate collagen, elastin, and skin structure.
Step 5: Gradual, Natural Results
Most patients require 2–3 sessions, spaced a few weeks apart. Results continue to improve over several months.

Avoid sun exposure and always apply SPF for at least 1 week

Avoid strenuous exercise for 24–48 hours
