Introduction
If you’re reading this, you’re probably on the hunt for a skin treatment that actually delivers. Something that leaves you glowing, but still looking like yourself. At our Norwich clinic, polynucleotide therapy has quickly become a client favourite, and it’s easy to see why.
So, what is it all about? Let’s dive in.
What Are Polynucleotides?
Polynucleotides are molecules taken from purified salmon DNA. Now, that might sound a bit out there, but stick with us. The science is solid. These clever molecules help the skin heal and hydrate by supporting natural regeneration. In simple terms, they tell your skin to start working like it used to. Producing more collagen and bouncing back faster. The result? Fresher, plumper, healthier-looking skin that still feels like yours.
How Do Polynucleotide Injections Work?
We inject small amounts of these polynucleotides into areas that need a boost, like under your eyes or across your cheeks. Once they’re in, they get to work.
They wake up fibroblasts, those cells that make collagen and elastin, and encourage them to get busy again. That means firmer, more elastic skin. On top of that, they attract water molecules, which helps with deep hydration. And if you deal with puffiness or dark circles, polynucleotides can help with that too by improving microcirculation in those delicate areas.
So it’s not just surface-level care. It’s proper skin repair that works from the inside out.
Why My Norwich Clients Are Loving This
We’ve seen more and more people in their 30s, 40s, and 50s choosing treatments that enhance their natural beauty. Many of our clients come in saying they look tired, even when they’re not. For them, polynucleotides have been a welcome change.
They’re especially popular for treating the under-eye area, where traditional fillers might not be the best fit. And because the effects build gradually over a few sessions, the result is a fresh, rested look, not a dramatic change. That “Have you been on holiday?” type of glow.
Another bonus? Hardly any downtime. Most people have some slight redness or puffiness, but it usually fades within a day or two. You can get back to normal life without skipping a beat.
We’ve noticed a shift in Norwich. People aren’t looking for drastic results anymore. They want healthy skin, subtle improvements, and treatments that work with their body. That’s where polynucleotides really shine.
How We Do It at Nurse Meicha
Every face is different, and we treat it that way. We start with a proper consultation to find out what’s going on with your skin and what you’re hoping to achieve. Then we create a plan just for you.
We use top-quality polynucleotide products in a clean, safe clinic. The injections are handled by a trained aesthetic nurse with a gentle touch. Most people need two to three sessions, each about two weeks apart. You’ll notice improvements after the first, and they’ll keep getting better. Explore Polynucleotides Treatment →
Are Polynucleotides Better Than Profhilo or PRP?
It depends on what you need, but each treatment has its place.
If your skin needs a full reset, polynucleotides are brilliant. They repair and strengthen from within. For under-eye rejuvenation, they’re often a better choice than filler.
Profhilo is more about hydration. It spreads under the skin and gives you a lovely glow. Ideal if your skin is feeling dry or a bit dull.
PRP, also known as the vampire facial, uses your own blood to help the skin renew. It’s good for texture and tone, though a bit more involved than the other options.
Here’s a quick comparison:
Treatment | Best For | Key Ingredient |
Polynucleotides | Repairing and regenerating skin | Salmon DNA fragments |
Profhilo | Deep hydration | Hyaluronic Acid |
PRP | Natural collagen stimulation | Your own blood plasma |
Still unsure? We’ll help you decide what’s best in your consultation.
Trusted Science Backing This Up
There’s plenty of research behind polynucleotides. This PubMed study shows how they help fibroblasts kick back into action. The International Journal of Molecular Sciences covers how they reduce inflammation and support skin healing.
Even the British Association of Dermatologists says injectables can be a great option, as long as they’re done by trained professionals. That’s why it’s important to choose a clinic like ours.
What to Expect During and After Treatment
Once we’ve had our consultation and cleansed your skin, we’ll apply numbing cream to keep things comfortable. Then we’ll inject tiny amounts of polynucleotides into the areas we’re treating.
You might feel a little sting here and there, but most people say it’s no big deal. Afterwards, you might have some redness or puffiness, especially around the eyes. That tends to go down within a day or two.
To help your skin recover nicely, we suggest avoiding exercise, alcohol, and makeup for 24 hours. From there, your skin will start improving gradually, getting plumper, more hydrated, and visibly fresher.

FAQs
Is it painful?
Not really. We use numbing cream and fine needles, so it’s more of a light pinch than anything.
How soon will I see results?
You might see some plumping within a few days. The real glow builds over a few treatments.
Is it safe around the eyes?
Yes, definitely. It’s one of the safest and most effective options for treating that area.
How often will I need top-ups?
Every 6 to 9 months is ideal for keeping your results topped up.
How long does a polynucleotide treatment take?
The whole appointment usually takes around 30 to 45 minutes, including consultation and aftercare advice.
Are polynucleotide injections suitable for all skin types?
Yes, most people tolerate them well. They're especially helpful for thin, dehydrated, or mature skin.
