Why we start with a consultation
Every treatment begins with a medical assessment. We need to understand your medical history, current health, skin condition and concerns before prescribing any procedure. This protects your safety and ensures the treatment is clinically appropriate for you.
During your consultation, your clinician will explain what the treatment can realistically achieve, any risks specific to you, and whether an alternative might be more appropriate. Consultations are carried out by our doctors or advanced aesthetic practitioners, depending on the treatment or concern being assessed.

Clinical overview
Newest by Mastelli delivers highly purified polynucleotides (PN) into the skin to activate fibroblast proliferation, stimulate collagen and elastin synthesis, and restore hydration at a cellular level. The formulation is designed to support genuine tissue regeneration and bio-revitalisation rather than simply adding volume or attracting water. We use Newest selectively for patients showing signs of skin ageing, dehydration, fine lines, loss of elasticity and dullness across a range of areas including the face, neck, décolletage and hands. The treatment is particularly well suited to patients seeking gradual, natural-looking improvement in skin quality. Suitability is confirmed during consultation, where we assess your skin quality, medical history, expectations and whether Newest (or an alternative polynucleotide or regenerative treatment) is the most appropriate choice for your goals.
Key Benefits
These are the main clinical and practical reasons patients choose Newest by Mastelli polynucleotide treatment in Maidenhead. Your treatment plan is tailored after consultation rather than selected from a fixed package.
- Stimulates tissue repair and regeneration at a cellular level through polynucleotide activity
- Improves skin hydration, elasticity and firmness through collagen and elastin synthesis
- Bio-revitalising formulation by Mastelli, a specialist in regenerative injectable treatments
- Suitable for face, neck, décolletage and hands
- Minimal downtime for most patients
Suitable For
Suitability depends on your goals, skin or tissue characteristics, medical history, and tolerance for downtime. These criteria are reviewed in detail during your assessment.
- Fine lines, crepey skin or loss of elasticity on face, neck, décolletage or hands
- Dehydrated, dull or tired-looking skin where regeneration is the priority
- Patients who want to improve skin quality through tissue repair rather than volume
- Those seeking gradual, natural-looking improvement in skin tone and texture
- Patients comfortable with a course of treatment for cumulative results
Not Suitable For
Some patients should avoid or defer treatment for safety reasons. We screen carefully before any procedure and explain alternatives where relevant.
- Active infection or inflammation in the treatment area (treatment should be delayed)
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Known allergy to fish-derived products (Newest contains polynucleotides derived from fish DNA)
- Patients seeking volume restoration or structural contouring (a different plan is usually more appropriate)
- Anyone with unrealistic expectations of immediate or dramatic transformation
Final suitability is confirmed during a medical consultation and assessment.
When we don't recommend it
A consultation may identify scenarios where a different treatment route is safer or more effective for your outcome goals.
- If volume loss is the primary concern — Newest improves skin quality and hydration but does not replace lost volume. We may recommend dermal fillers or an alternative approach.
- If you have a known fish allergy — Newest contains polynucleotides derived from fish DNA and is not suitable for patients with fish-derived product allergies.
- If there is active inflammation or infection in the treatment area — we will delay treatment until your skin has settled.
- If expectations are for immediate visible change — Newest works gradually over a course of sessions and we will set realistic expectations during consultation.
- If another regenerative treatment or combination would deliver a safer or more effective result for your specific skin concerns.
