What are polynucleotides?
Polynucleotides are purified DNA-based molecules used in injectable treatments to support skin hydration and renewal. Treatment aims to improve the condition of the skin, including its texture and elasticity, rather than sculpt an individual facial feature.
At Skin Techniques, we offer polynucleotide treatments for the face, eye area and neck. They sit alongside our skin booster treatments, giving us another way to address concerns about skin quality with a plan tailored to the area being treated.
What it helps
What can polynucleotides help with?
Polynucleotides may help improve the appearance of fine lines, crepey texture and skin that looks tired or feels less supple. Around the eyes, treatment may be considered when the quality of the delicate skin is contributing to the concern.
Different under-eye concerns need different approaches. Thin-looking skin, hollowness, puffiness and pigmentation are not all treated in the same way. We’ll help identify what you’re noticing and explain where polynucleotides may fit within your options.

How it works
How do polynucleotide treatments work?
Polynucleotides are injected within the skin in the area being treated. They help support a hydrated environment and the skin’s natural renewal processes, with the aim of gradually improving skin quality.
We tailor the placement and treatment course to the face, eye area or neck rather than using the same plan everywhere. Changes develop over time, so we review the response across your course before discussing further treatment or maintenance.
Our approach
Our personalised approach to skin boosters
Not all skin boosters do the same thing. Some focus on hydration and glow, while others help improve texture, elasticity or firmness. You might come to us interested in a particular treatment, but another option could be better suited to your skin and the changes you’d like to see.
At Skin Techniques, we take time to understand what’s causing your concern before recommending a treatment. We look at your skin quality and your face as a whole, then explain which options could help and why. Whether that’s one skin booster or a combination of treatments, your plan is built around you—you don’t need to know exactly what to book.
Your questions
Common questions about Polynucleotides
What’s the difference between polynucleotides and hyaluronic acid skin boosters?
Polynucleotides use purified DNA-based molecules to support hydration and the skin’s natural renewal processes. Hyaluronic acid treatments, such as Juvéderm Skinvive, deliver hyaluronic acid within the skin to improve hydration and smoothness. Their benefits can overlap, but the formulation, treatment area and recommended course differ. We’ll explain which approach suits your concern.
Can polynucleotides help dark circles under my eyes?
They may help when the condition of the under-eye skin contributes to a tired appearance, but dark circles can have several causes. Pigmentation, visible blood vessels, hollowness and shadows need different consideration. We’ll assess your under-eye concerns before recommending treatment.
Are polynucleotides the same as tear trough filler?
No—they have different purposes. Polynucleotides focus on skin quality, while tear trough filler may be considered for suitable under-eye hollows. We’ll explain which approach, if either, matches your concern. You don’t need to decide between them before your appointment.
How much do polynucleotide treatments cost in Amersham?
Polynucleotide treatments at Skin Techniques start from £300 per area, with separate options for the eyes, face and neck. We’ll explain the recommended course and total cost before you begin, including whether treating more than one area would involve separate appointments or charges.
