Revitalize Your Skin with Polynucleotide Therapy in Limerick
Polynucleotides are complex chains of nucleotides which are the fundamental building blocks of of DNA & RNA which are the building blocks of our skin.
As we age, we lose vital regeneration of our skin cells with a decline in collagen & elastin leading to wrinkles and skin laxity.
Polynucleotides injected into the skin help with cellular repair boosting collagen & elastin. Boosting collagen production provides structural support & firmness to the skin.
Improving skin elasticity (when you stretch the skin & release it it snaps back quickly to its origin). Increases hydration by improving the skins capacity to retain moisture, leading to a more hydrated & plump appearance. Improves texture & smoothness. Improves the repair & renewal of skin cells especially skin damaged by environmental factors, helping to mitigate the effects of ageing accelerated by external stressors eg uv radiation. Reduces scars eg acne. Improves pigmentation. Improves redness eg Rosacea. This tackles the cause rather than tackling the effect (eg filling a wrinkle with filler.
Protocol: a course of at least 3 treatments 3-4 weeks apart
During your consultation at my Limerick clinic, I will assess your skin concerns and discuss your aesthetic goals. We will collaborate to develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses your specific needs, ensuring the best possible outcomes.
In the initial consultation, I will evaluate your skin and discuss any previous treatments you've undergone. Understanding your skin's unique characteristics is crucial for tailoring the treatment to your specific needs.
Topical local anaesthetic is used to numb the skin. This makes it almost painless.
The Polynucleotide treatment involves injecting a polymerized injectable gel into the targeted area. The procedure is quick, typically lasting around 45 minutes, and is designed to be as comfortable as possible.
Following the treatment, you may experience minimal discomfort or redness, which usually subsides quickly. I will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing and results.

Here’s What I’m Often Asked About Polynucleotide Treatments
Polynucleotides are complex structures formed by the linkage of nucleotides, the basic units of genetic material in our cells. In aesthetic medicine, polynucleotides derived from salmon DNA are used for their excellent biocompatibility and potent regenerative abilities. They stimulate cellular growth and the repair of damaged tissues, making them highly effective in skin rejuvenation.
These treatments work by providing a direct boost of polynucleotides to the skin. This initiates a cascade of cellular events, including the activation of fibroblasts that produce collagen and elastin – key proteins responsible for skin elasticity and firmness. Additionally, polynucleotides attract and bind water molecules, significantly enhancing skin hydration and texture.
Unlike traditional dermal fillers that primarily add volume, polynucleotides focus on enhancing the skin’s intrinsic qualities. They provide a more natural and holistic improvement, aiding the skin’s self-repair and rejuvenation mechanisms, rather than just filling in lines or wrinkles.
Polynucleotide treatments are well-tolerated with a low risk of adverse reactions. The most common side effects are temporary and include mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection site. The risk of allergic reactions is minimal due to the biocompatibility of the polynucleotides used.
A standard treatment protocol includes 3-4 sessions, each spaced a month apart. This allows the skin to gradually respond to the therapy, building upon the regenerative effects of each session. The exact timeline can vary based on individual skin conditions and the area being treated.
Ideal candidates are those seeking to improve skin quality, particularly individuals showing early signs of aging, experiencing skin dehydration, or wanting to enhance areas with thin, delicate skin like the under-eye region.
The session involves carefully mapping the treatment area and then administering the polynucleotide solution via fine needles. The process is typically well-tolerated, with some clients experiencing a brief, mild discomfort.
Following treatment, it’s important to avoid strenuous exercise and extreme temperatures for a few days. I also recommend gentle skincare products and sun protection to support the healing process.
While most clients report minimal discomfort, I ensure the treatment is as comfortable as possible. For those with sensitive skin, a topical anesthetic can be applied beforehand.
Polynucleotide therapy can be effectively combined with other treatments like micro-needling or laser therapy for comprehensive skin rejuvenation. This combination approach can address various skin concerns in a synergistic manner.
There may be some swelling especially around the eyes & neck for a few days.
Swelling for a few days, minimal bruising.
Because the injections are only skin-deep bruising should be minimal. Bruising is more likely if you are taking aspirin, anti-coagulants, omega 3.
Polynucleotide treatments at my Limerick clinic offer a unique solution for under-eye rejuvenation and overall skin revitalization. To explore how these treatments can benefit you, book a consultation today and take the first step towards a more youthful and radiant appearance.
