What are polynucleotides — and why is everyone talking about them? 🧬

Polynucleotides are an injectable regenerative treatment designed to improve skin quality rather than simply add volume.

They work by supporting the skin’s natural repair processes and stimulating fibroblast activity, helping to improve:

✨ Hydration
✨ Skin texture and elasticity
✨ Fine lines
✨ Overall skin quality and resilience

They’re particularly popular for areas where the skin is thin or showing early signs of ageing, including the under-eye area, face and neck.

Think skin regeneration rather than filling.

In this reel, I explain what polynucleotides are and why they’ve become such an interesting addition to aesthetic medicine.

When patients book 3 areas of toxin, they’re usually thinking forehead, frown lines and crow’s feet.

So what exactly is the 4th area?

There isn’t one fixed answer. Depending on your facial movement and what you’d like to achieve, an additional area might be the bunny lines, lip flip, downturned mouth, dimpled chin or another small area.

The important thing is that toxin treatment shouldn’t be a standard package — the areas treated should be chosen for your individual anatomy, movement and goals.

Do people keep asking if you’re tired—even when you feel fine?

It may have nothing to do with sleep.

As we age, subtle changes in the face can create a tired appearance. Common features include:
• Under-eye hollowing or dark circles
• Loss of cheek volume
• Drooping eyebrows
• Fine lines around the eyes
• Downturned corners of the mouth
• Skin that has lost its natural glow

The good news is that many of these changes can be addressed with carefully planned, natural-looking medical aesthetic treatments.

The goal isn’t to make you look different—it’s to help you look like a fresher, more rested version of yourself.

Which feature do you think has the biggest impact on making someone look tired?
