Polynucleotides in Ashford
Renew. Repair. Rejuvenate. Naturally You.
If you're looking to improve skin quality, hydration and overall skin texture without adding volume or changing your facial features, polynucleotide treatments can be an effective regenerative skin treatment.
At Dr Priya Dental & Aesthetics in Ashford, Kent, polynucleotides are used as part of a personalised approach to skin rejuvenation, helping to improve the appearance and quality of the skin while maintaining natural-looking results.
Polynucleotide treatment can be suitable for areas such as the face, under-eye area and neck, depending on your individual skin concerns and treatment goals. Rather than simply masking signs of ageing, polynucleotides are designed to support the skin's natural regenerative processes.
What Are Polynucleotides?
Polynucleotides are injectable skin rejuvenation treatments containing purified DNA fragments that are designed to support skin regeneration and improve overall skin quality.
When introduced into the skin, polynucleotides may help support fibroblast activity and stimulate the production of collagen and elastin. They can also help improve hydration and the overall condition of the skin.
Unlike dermal fillers, polynucleotides are not primarily designed to add volume or alter facial contours. Instead, the focus is on improving the quality, texture and resilience of the skin.
This makes polynucleotides an increasingly popular option for patients who want a fresher, healthier-looking complexion while preserving their natural facial appearance.
Facial Polynucleotides
Facial polynucleotide treatment is designed to improve overall skin quality, helping address concerns such as fine lines, dehydration, uneven texture and dull-looking skin.
Treatment is tailored to your individual skin condition and aesthetic goals, with the aim of encouraging healthier-looking, more resilient skin over time.
Polynucleotides can be used as part of a wider skin rejuvenation programme and may be particularly suitable for patients who want to improve their skin without adding facial volume.
​
​
Under-Eye Polynucleotides
The skin around the eyes is thinner and more delicate than many other areas of the face, making signs of ageing, dehydration and tiredness particularly noticeable.
Under-eye polynucleotide treatment is designed specifically for this delicate area and can help improve the appearance of skin quality, hydration and fine lines.
Careful assessment is particularly important around the eyes. Dr Priya will determine whether polynucleotides are appropriate for your individual concerns and create a treatment plan based on your facial anatomy and skin condition.
​
​
Neck Polynucleotides
The neck can often show signs of ageing through fine lines, reduced elasticity, dryness and changes in skin texture.
Polynucleotide treatment may help improve the overall quality and appearance of neck skin by supporting hydration, elasticity and collagen production.
Treatment can be incorporated into a wider skin rejuvenation plan where appropriate, helping create a more consistent appearance between the face and neck.

What to Expect During Your Polynucleotide Appointment
Your treatment begins with a comprehensive consultation with Dr Priya. Your skin quality, areas of concern, medical history and aesthetic goals will be assessed to determine whether polynucleotide treatment is suitable for you.
A personalised treatment plan will then be created based on your individual needs.
During treatment, the polynucleotide product is administered into the targeted areas using a series of small injections. The treatment technique and number of injections will depend on the area being treated and your individual treatment plan.
You may experience some temporary redness, swelling, small raised areas or tenderness at the injection sites following treatment. These effects are generally temporary and should settle as the skin recovers.
Dr Priya will provide you with detailed aftercare advice, including guidance on skincare and activities to avoid immediately following treatment.
Polynucleotide treatments are commonly performed as a course rather than as a single treatment, as progressive improvement in skin quality is often the goal. Your recommended treatment schedule will be discussed during your consultation.

Frequently
Asked
Questions
Are polynucleotides the same as dermal fillers?
No. Although both are injectable aesthetic treatments, their primary purposes are different.
Dermal fillers are primarily used to restore volume, enhance facial contours and soften certain lines and folds. Polynucleotides are primarily focused on improving skin quality, hydration, elasticity and texture rather than adding volume.
​
​
Are polynucleotides safe?
Polynucleotide treatments are used as injectable skin rejuvenation treatments, but like all medical aesthetic procedures, they carry potential risks and side effects.
Temporary redness, swelling, tenderness and small bumps at the injection sites can occur following treatment.
A consultation and medical assessment with a qualified healthcare professional is important to establish whether treatment is suitable for you and discuss the potential benefits and risks.
​
​
Are polynucleotide injections painful?
Most patients tolerate treatment well. A series of small injections is used to administer the product into the skin, and comfort measures may be used depending on the treatment area and individual preference.
Some areas, particularly around the eyes, can be more sensitive than others.
​
​
Can polynucleotides be used under the eyes?
Yes, polynucleotide treatments are commonly considered for the delicate under-eye area.
They may be suitable for improving the appearance and quality of under-eye skin, particularly where concerns include fine lines, dehydration or reduced skin elasticity.
However, not every under-eye concern is caused by skin quality. Dark circles, pigmentation, hollowness and prominent tear troughs can have different causes, so a detailed assessment is essential before treatment.
​
​
Can polynucleotides improve wrinkles?
Polynucleotides may help improve the appearance of fine lines by supporting skin quality, hydration and elasticity.
They are not a replacement for anti-wrinkle injections where dynamic muscle movement is the primary cause of wrinkles, and they are not designed to provide the same volumising effect as dermal fillers.
The most appropriate treatment depends on the cause of the lines and your individual goals.
​
​
How long do polynucleotide results last?
The longevity of results varies between individuals and depends on factors including age, skin quality, lifestyle and the treatment plan followed.
Because polynucleotides work by supporting skin quality rather than providing permanent structural volume, maintenance treatments may be recommended to help sustain results.
​
​
Can polynucleotides be combined with other aesthetic treatments?
Yes, depending on your individual needs, polynucleotides may form part of a wider facial rejuvenation or skin health treatment plan.
They may be combined with treatments such as dermal fillers or anti-wrinkle injections when clinically appropriate. Treatments should always be planned according to your facial anatomy, skin condition and aesthetic goals.
​
​
Are polynucleotides suitable for everyone?
Polynucleotide treatment is not suitable for everyone. Certain medical conditions, allergies, medications, pregnancy, breastfeeding or other individual circumstances may affect whether treatment is appropriate.
A full consultation and medical assessment will be carried out before treatment to determine your suitability.
