Polynucleotides
A focus on skin texture, hydration and elasticity.
Noticing fine lines, changes in texture or skin that feels less hydrated? You may be curious about exploring treatments that could help your skin look and feel refreshed.
At MediSkin by SMG, polynucleotide treatments focus on skin quality, aiming to soften the appearance of fine lines and support hydration and elasticity.
Led by Independent Nurse Prescriber Sophie Gordon, our approach combines clinical knowledge with personal care, keeping your individual needs and natural features at the heart of every recommendation.
Based in Long Eaton, we welcome patients from Nottingham, Derby and across the East Midlands.
What are polynucleotides treatments?
Polynucleotides are purified fragments of DNA, commonly derived from salmon or trout, used in injectable treatments aimed at improving skin quality.
Unlike dermal fillers, which are primarily used to add volume or contour, polynucleotide treatments focus on the condition of the skin itself, with changes developing gradually.
What Can polynucleotides Help With?
Depending on your skin and the area being treated, polynucleotides may help improve:
Fine lines softening their appearance.
Dryness and dehydration supporting skin hydration.
Uneven texture encouraging smoother-looking skin.
Crepey-looking skin improving the appearance of delicate texture and elasticity.
Under-eye skin quality addressing selected concerns involving fine lines and thin, crepey-looking skin.
Suitability and results vary. Sophie will assess your concerns and explain what treatment may realistically offer as part of your personalised plan.
Polynucleotides for the under-eye area
The delicate skin around your eyes can be one of the first places you notice fine lines or a crepey-looking texture. Under-eye polynucleotide treatments focus on skin quality, with the aim of supporting hydration, elasticity and a smoother-looking appearance.
Every under-eye concern deserves an individual approach. Whether you’re noticing dark circles, hollows or changes in texture, understanding what’s contributing to them helps us recommend suitable care. Polynucleotides may be considered where skin quality is the focus, while concerns involving volume or eye bags may benefit from a different approach.
