About the Treatment

What are Polynucleotides?

Polynucleotides are naturally occurring DNA fragments that stimulate cellular repair, reduce inflammation and promote collagen synthesis when injected into the skin.

Polynucleotide treatment at The Plasma Doctor Warrington

Nature’s repair mechanism, concentrated and delivered precisely.

Polynucleotides (also known as PDRN) are derived from purified salmon DNA, which shares a high degree of compatibility with human DNA. When injected into the skin, they are recognised and absorbed by skin cells, where they act as signalling molecules that activate the skin’s own repair and regeneration pathways.

Unlike many injectable treatments that primarily add volume or hydration, polynucleotides work at a deeper cellular level, reducing oxidative stress, dampening inflammation, stimulating fibroblast activity and supporting long-term tissue health.

Polynucleotides are particularly valuable for patients with chronically inflamed, damaged or sensitised skin, including those with acne-prone skin, rosacea, sun damage or post-inflammatory pigmentation.

They are also highly effective as a standalone regenerative treatment for patients who want to improve overall skin health, reduce fine lines and achieve a calmer, clearer complexion over time.

The Process

How do polynucleotides work?

A comfortable injectable treatment with no significant downtime and progressively improving results over a short course of sessions.

01
Consultation
Dr Corcoran assesses your skin, discusses your concerns and confirms polynucleotides are the right treatment for your goals, whether as a standalone or as part of a wider programme.
02
Preparation
Topical anaesthetic cream is applied prior to treatment. The skin is cleansed and the injection points are identified.
03
Treatment
Polynucleotides are injected into the dermis across the treatment area using a fine needle technique. Sessions typically take 20 to 30 minutes and are very well tolerated.
04
Results
Anti-inflammatory benefits are often felt quickly. Structural improvements in skin quality develop progressively over 4 to 12 weeks following a course of treatment.
What to Expect

Results and Benefits

Polynucleotides produce progressive improvements in skin health, texture and long-term cellular vitality.

Anti-inflammatory actionReduces chronic inflammation in the skin, which is a key driver of accelerated ageing, redness and sensitisation.
Collagen stimulationActivates fibroblasts to produce new collagen, improving skin structure, firmness and the appearance of fine lines over time.
Skin repair and regenerationSupports the repair of sun-damaged and chronically stressed skin, improving both the appearance and resilience of treated tissue.
Pigmentation improvementParticularly effective for post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone, producing a clearer, more even complexion over a course of treatment.
Hydration improvementSupports the skin’s natural hyaluronic acid production, improving hydration and reducing the appearance of fine dehydration lines.
Minimal downtimeMild redness and small bumps at injection sites settle within a few hours. Most patients have no visible signs of treatment the following day.
Common Questions

Everything you need to know

Honest answers to the questions we hear most often before patients book.

Are polynucleotide injections painful?
Topical anaesthetic cream is applied before treatment. Most patients find the procedure very comfortable, with only mild pressure felt during the injections.
How many sessions do I need?
Most patients benefit from a course of 3 to 4 sessions spaced 2 to 3 weeks apart. Maintenance sessions every 6 to 12 months help sustain the results.
When will I see results?
Anti-inflammatory and hydration improvements are often noticed within the first 1 to 2 weeks. Structural improvements in skin quality develop progressively over 4 to 12 weeks following a course of treatment.
Are polynucleotides safe?
Polynucleotides are very well tolerated. They are derived from purified salmon DNA and are highly biocompatible with human tissue. Allergic reactions are very rare. Dr Corcoran will discuss your medical history to confirm suitability.
How are polynucleotides different from other skin boosters?
Unlike hyaluronic acid skin boosters that primarily add hydration, polynucleotides work at a cellular level to repair, regenerate and reduce inflammation. They are particularly valuable for skin that needs structural healing rather than just hydration.
Can polynucleotides be combined with other treatments?
Yes. They complement microneedling, NeoGen and Profhilo very well, and are particularly effective when combined with PRP for patients with significant scarring or skin damage.
