Polynucleotides
Polynucleotides for anti-ageing and skin rejuvenation
Ideal for those wishing to treat the signs of ageing, or those wishing to treat dull and fragile skin
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 address common skin concerns.
We offer Polynucleotides at both our Reading (Queens Road) and London (Harley St) locations.

Frequently asked questions about Polynucleotides
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, biofillers, 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 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. Some treatments that we offer, such as Pluryal Densify, combine polynucleotides with hyaluronic acid for added volume.
How long until I see results?
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, the effects can be immediate!
How many treatments will I need?
Usually 2-3 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.

As well as new Polynucleotides, we do offer other injectable skin solutions, and they are often combined for optimal results. To find out which solution(s) is best for your desired goals, please book a consultation with our friendly team.
PRP
PRP is often used in conjunction with polynucleotides for optimal results.
PRP (platelet-rich-plasma) treatment involves using a patient's own blood to promote cellular healing. It involves collecting a small amount of blood from your arm (similar to a routine blood test) which is then placed in a centrifuge which separates platelets from other blood cells. The plasma-rich-platelets are then injected into the affected area. PRP contains growth factors to help our bodies heal and regenerate.
Boosters & Mesotherapy
Using the Pluryal Mesoline Range; Specifically developed products that work to target a variety of skin complaints.
Following topical application, the products are fed deeper into the skin using a mesoline roller (otherwise known as microneedling), which introduces microscopic holes in the skin to allow the quantities of volume, hydration, vitamins and minerals into the skin (or scalp) to help it rejuvenate and repair itself.
Products include;
- Antiox: Antioxidant action for damaged and dull skin. Fights premature ageing.
- Clear: Designed to regulate skin sebum, reduce acne and other skin imperfections. Also reduces inflammation of the skin.
