Berkshire Aesthetics is a doctor-led, CQC-registered aesthetic clinic in Maidenhead. All treatments begin with a consultation to assess suitability, medical history, risks and realistic outcomes.
What is a Plinest injection?
Plinest is an injectable polynucleotide treatment used to support skin quality, hydration and tissue repair rather than add filler-style volume. It is often considered for thin, crepey or tired-looking skin, including selected under-eye concerns. Plinest is derived from highly purified salmon DNA, so suitability, allergy history, treatment area and expectations must be assessed in consultation.
Book a consultationWhen this may help
- Your main concern is skin quality, fine lines, crepey texture or under-eye skin rather than volume.
- You want a regenerative treatment option and understand results build gradually over a course.
- You want to compare Plinest with Profhilo, Ameela or other skin boosters.
When this may not be suitable
- You have a known allergy to fish-derived products.
- You want immediate volume restoration or structural contouring.
- You are pregnant, breastfeeding, have active infection or have an injectable-treatment contraindication.
Risks and limitations
- Redness, swelling, bruising, tenderness and small injection-point bumps can occur.
- Inflammatory reaction, infection or allergy are uncommon but possible.
- Results are gradual and may be subtle if the main concern is volume loss rather than skin quality.
What we assess in consultation
- Whether Plinest is suitable for your skin concern and treatment area
- Fish allergy, medical history, medications and previous injectable reactions
- Whether Plinest, Ameela, Profhilo, filler, laser or no treatment is safer
- Expected number of sessions, downtime, maintenance and cost

Related questions
Is Plinest a skin booster?
Plinest is a polynucleotide regenerative injectable. It is often discussed alongside skin boosters because the goal is skin quality improvement, but its mechanism is different from hyaluronic-acid boosters.
Can Plinest be used under the eyes?
Yes, in suitable patients. The under-eye area needs careful assessment because hollowing, pigmentation, swelling and skin thinning may need different treatment routes.
How many Plinest sessions are needed?
A course is usually planned over several sessions, but the exact number depends on the treatment area, skin quality and response.
