Polynucleotides (Eyes)

Service Description

WHAT IT IS Polynucleotide injections targeted to the periorbital area — the skin around the eyes. Polynucleotides are purified DNA fragments that stimulate fibroblast activity, support tissue repair and improve hydration and microcirculation where they are placed. WHY PEOPLE CHOOSE IT The eye area is where skin quality shows first and where the margin for error is smallest. Polynucleotides improve the tissue rather than filling it, which suits an area that punishes volume-based approaches. WHAT WE AIM FOR Thicker, better-hydrated, more resilient skin around the eyes, with improved texture, reduced crepiness and a brighter overall appearance. WHO IT SUITS · Crepey, finely lined skin around the eyes · Dark circles related to thin skin · Wanting repair rather than filling · Preparing the area before considering filler · Previous under-eye filler that has been dissolved TREATMENT DETAILS Appointment: 20–30 minutes Discomfort: Numbing cream applied Downtime: Small bumps for a few hours; bruising possible First results: 3–4 weeks Sessions: Course of 3, two to three weeks apart Duration: 6–9 months Also available: Polynucleotides (Face) — £299 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Are polynucleotides safe if I have a fish allergy? The source material is purified salmon DNA. Although the purification process removes protein, tell Dr Selvi about any fish allergy at consultation so your suitability can be assessed properly. How does this differ from Lumi Eyes? Both are polynucleotide-based treatments for the eye area with a similar mechanism. The formulations and protocols differ. Dr Selvi will recommend based on your skin and your goal. Will this change the shape of my face? No. Skin boosters are not fillers — they hydrate and improve the quality of the skin rather than adding contour or volume. Your proportions stay exactly as they are. Will there be visible bumps afterwards? Small raised areas at the injection points are normal with several of these treatments and usually settle within 24 hours. Plan around anything important the following day. How often do I need to repeat it? Most skin boosters follow an initial course, then maintenance every six to twelve months. Dr Selvi will set out your specific schedule at consultation. Can I combine it with other treatments? Yes. Skin boosters address skin quality, while fillers address volume and anti-wrinkle injections address movement lines. They target different problems and are frequently planned together. What are the risks? Injection-site redness, small bumps, swelling and occasional bruising are common and short-lived. More significant reactions are uncommon. Dr Selvi will explain all risks fully before you consent. Who will treat me? All injectable treatments at Dr Selvi Clinic are carried out by a doctor, following a face-to-face consultation and an assessment of your suitability.
