What do I need to do before my appointment?​

1. Please arrive with no make-up on to reduce the risk of infection.

2. Avoid using active skincare ingredients such as retinoids (retinol, tretinoin, retinoic acid) and acids (lactic acid, salicylic acid) for 7 days prior to treatment.

3. It is advisable to avoid blood-thinning medications.

4. ​Please ensure you are well hydrated for the few days preceding your treatment.​

5. Avoid any chemical peels or other skin treatments at least 14 days prior to polynucleotides.​​​

​

What Can I Expect in the Days After My Polynucleotides Treatment?

Immediately following your polynucleotide treatment, you can expect some mild redness, swelling, bruising and tiny bumps her injection side. This typically lasts 24 - 72 hours. Tenderness can be felt at the injection site and will also resolve after a few days. Visible results may take slightly longer in some patients than others. Typically, results are seen within a few weeks after your second treatment. The full effects become more visible over several months. This is due to the polynucleotide stimulating the body’s own natural collagen production. 

 

A course usually consists of 3 treatments. Your practitioner will assess and advise you of your tailored polynucleotide treatment plan. Results from a course of polynucleotides treatments may last up to 6 -12 months, however this will differ for individual patients. We encourage you to maintain a healthy lifestyle to maximise results.

​

What not to do post Polynucleotides Treatment?

After injection we will ask you:

1. Not to do strenuous exercise, swimming, or sun tanning for the first 24 hours after injection.

2. Not to do facial or massage or laser treatment over the injected area for at least 2 weeks.

3. To take it easy if you see a lot of bumps when Nucleofill medium is used, as it has to be injected in the superficial layer to give a better result.

4. ​Keeping the injection sites clean to avoid infection.
