Polynucleotides, amazing for your skin, but we need to talk about the downtime…
Polynucleotides are all about improving skin quality rather than changing your face. They work gradually to support skin regeneration, hydration and elasticity, making them particularly useful for areas such as the under-eyes, face and neck.
But one thing patients need to know: you may not look your best when you first leave clinic.
The product is placed into the skin using multiple small injections, which can leave visible bumps, redness and swelling immediately afterwards. Around the eyes especially, swelling can sometimes look quite noticeable.
This is temporary and usually settles as the product disperses and the initial reaction calms down.
So this definitely isn’t the treatment I’d book immediately before an important event!
The immediate aftermath might not be pretty… but we’re treating the skin for the results that come later.
