Polynucleotides in Maidenhead

Clinical overview

Treatment Areas

Key Benefits

These are the main clinical and practical reasons patients choose Polynucleotides in Maidenhead. Your treatment plan is tailored after consultation rather than selected from a fixed package.

• Improves skin hydration and overall skin quality
• Supports smoother texture and a healthier-looking glow
• Can improve the appearance of fine lines (skin quality-focused)
• May help improve crepey or thinning-looking skin
• Often used in delicate areas such as under-eyes, neck and hands
• Works well as part of a personalised skin regeneration plan

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.

• Adults looking to improve skin quality (texture, hydration, elasticity)
• Those with crepey or thinning-looking skin in areas such as under-eyes, face, neck or hands
• Patients wanting gradual, natural-looking improvement rather than added volume
• Those considering regenerative options where skin repair and resilience are the priority
• Patients open to a course of treatments for cumulative improvement

Not Suitable For

Some patients should avoid or defer treatment for safety reasons. We screen carefully before any procedure and explain alternatives where relevant.

• Pregnant or breastfeeding patients
• Patients with active infection or inflammation in the treatment area
• Those with certain autoimmune or immune-mediated conditions (case-by-case assessment required)
• Anyone with known allergy or previous significant reaction to polynucleotide products or their ingredients
• Those expecting volume restoration, lift or structural change from this treatment

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 your primary concern is volume loss or structural support — polynucleotides do not add volume and a different plan may be more appropriate.
• If you have active infection, inflammation or compromised skin in the treatment area — treatment should be delayed until the area is healthy.
• If autoimmune or immune-mediated conditions have not been assessed — these require careful clinical evaluation before proceeding.
• If expectations are for rapid or dramatic results — polynucleotides produce gradual improvement over several weeks to months.
• If a combination plan (such as skincare optimisation first, then staged treatments) is likely to produce a safer or more effective result.
