The treatment
How Polynucleotides works
Polynucleotides are purified nucleic-acid fragments used in regenerative injectable treatments. Unlike dermal filler, they do not add volume or change facial shape. Instead, they work over time to support skin repair processes, improve hydration and build elasticity. At The London Road Clinic they are particularly used for fine lines, crepey texture and reduced firmness in delicate areas such as the eye area and mid-face.

In their own words
Every visit to London Road Clinic is wonderful, all the staff make you feel comfortable & relaxed. I’ve recently had a course of three Polynucleotide for my face. I was nervous & uncertain however Lydia gave me 100% confidence in her knowledge & experience which gave me complete trust in her.. The results in my skin are already showing… plumper, fewer deep lines and added radiance. Ageing is a privilege not given to everyone but in a world where we all strive to look our best, this treatment works wonders, the salmon DNA stimulates cell regeneration, collagen and elastin production. 100%

After your appointment
Aftercare
Keep skincare gentle, use SPF and avoid heat, heavy exercise and excessive touching of the area for the period advised by your clinician. Follow all injectable aftercare guidance.
What they will not do
People arrive asking for polynucleotides because they have read they are the alternative to filler, which is half right. They do not add volume and they will not change the shape of your face, so if that is what you want you should have a different conversation. What they do is work on the quality of the skin itself, over a course. The people happiest with them wanted their skin to behave better rather than look different.

Two or three visits, a few weeks apart
The clinic is at 65 London Road, Newark-on-Trent, NG24 1RZ, with free parking at the front.
A short course, often around two to three sessions, spaced a few weeks apart. That is a manageable number of trips even from the edge of the county, and it is the whole commitment rather than the start of one.
The clinic is a short drive from Southwell, Bingham, Tuxford and Collingham, and the A1 and A46 bring West Bridgford, Keyworth, Lincoln, Grantham and Nettleham within range.
Small bumps at the injection points and some redness are expected on the day and settle. Under the eyes they are more visible than elsewhere, so plan the evening accordingly.

If the drive is the question, we have written it up for Mansfield and for Southwell.
