Polynucleotide Treatment
Polynucleotides for anti-ageing and skin rejuvenation
Polynucleotides – The next generation of powerful biostimulators, scientifically proven to regenerate the skin from within
Polynucleotides are an injectable skin booster, primarily derived from salmon DNA, making them natural, biocompatible, and biodegradable. They are predominantly used to reduce wrinkles, stimulate cellular regeneration, collagen synthesis, and tissue repair.
These skin-boosting and regenerative injectables have become a popular choice for patients looking to combat the signs of ageing and/or address common skin concerns.

Polynucleotide treatment FAQs
What are Polynucleotides made out of?
Polynucleotides are primarily derived from salmon DNA, making them natural, biocompatible, and biodegradable. According to international Facial Aesthetics Trainer, Dr. Bob Khanna, polynucleotides act as "food or medicine for cells," promoting collagen and elastin production while enhancing the skin’s extracellular matrix (that's the vital structural layer that keeps skin youthful and firm!).
While different manufacturers might refer to polynucleotide treatments as biostimulators or biorevitalisers, they all revolve around this powerful anti-ageing ingredient.
How long do Polynucleotide treatments last for?
Traditional anti-wrinkle treatments (like Botox) typically last 3-4 months. Polynucleotide treatments, on the other hand, can last between 6-12 months, with ongoing improvements to skin quality long after the initial effects.
What's the difference between Polynucleotides and dermal fillers?
Unlike dermal fillers that simply plump the skin temporarily, polynucleotides regenerate skin at the cellular level. They boost hydration, collagen production, and skin elasticity.
Dr Khanna's NuFace Protocol combines polynucleotides with biofillers (an advanced dermal filler designed for improving skin quality alongside volume restoration).
What's the difference between Polynucleotides and your other Biostimulators?
While both treatments fall under the category of biostimulators, their ingredients, mechanisms, and use cases are significantly different.
-
Polynucleotides are new generation cellular repair stimulators, ideal for deeper concerns and sensitive areas.
-
Mesotherapy Biostimulators are vitamin-rich skin boosters, perfect for hydration, prevention, and surface-level radiance.
Each offers a unique therapeutic approach, and the choice between them depends on your individual skin condition, age, and treatment goals. In many cases, they can be combined in a personalised protocol for enhanced results. The best option for you will be discussed with your practitioner.
What's the difference between other polynucleotide treatments and Dr Khanna's NuFace Protocol?
Prof Khanna’s unique NuFace Protocol incorporates both biofillers and polynucleotides into the same treatment. It offers unparalleled results, both to replace volume loss and provide exceptional skin rejuvenation. The NuFace Protocol is ideal for the more severe cases of volume loss.
What are biofillers?
The next generation of dermal fillers
We use the latest biofillers from Pluryal®. Regular fillers are typically used to restore the volumes of the skin by filling its depressions; Biofillers, on the other hand, act way beyond regular fillers. Whilst they increase volume similar to normal dermal fillers, Biofillers also act as biostimulators, carefully healing the skin and boosting the production of new cell layers, ensuring maximum hydration at every cellular level and increasing skin’s smoothness, elasticity, and firmness.
More-natural looking results and migration prevention
Pluryal® Biofillers are manufactured using using 3 different types of hyaluronic acid, whose particles are much smaller than those used in standard products. This promotes the penetration and distribution of the dermal filler in the tissues, preventing migration and promoting more natural-looking results.
What areas can be treated with polynucleotides?
We offer polynucleotide treatments for:
- Full face/skin rejuvenation
- Under eye rejuvenation
- Perioral region (lines around the mouth)
- Neck rejuvenation
- Hand rejuvenation
How long until I see results from my polynucleotide treatment?
While most anti-ageing treatments take months to show improvements, you can see visible results from polynucleotide treatments within approximately 3 weeks, with full effects becoming more apparent over several months. The skin will gradually improve in texture, firmness and hydration.
When combined with hyaluronic acid (such as in our NuFace Protocol), the effects can be immediate!
How many polynucleotide treatments will I need?
Usually 3 treatments, 4 weeks apart are required to achieve optimal results. A top up every 12 months is recommended to continue to enjoy the effects.
Do Polynucleotide treatments hurt?
At DrBK, we offer optional numbing cream before the treatment for those that are sensitive to needles. However most patients, particularly those who are used to 'botox', fillers or microneedling, may feel they do not require numbing at all.
Which DrBK clinic offers Polynucleotide treatments?
We offer polynucleotide and NuFace treatments at both of our locations in Reading (Queens Road) and London (Harley St). Book now.
