What Are Polynucleotides and How Do They Work?
Polynucleotide under eyes treatment is a safer alternative to risky tear trough filler. The delicate skin under the eyes is prone to aging, sagging, and dark circles because of its thinness.
As mentioned in our previous blog, Polynucleotides are naturally occurring DNA fragments that stimulate skin regeneration. They work by enhancing hydration, boosting collagen production, and improving skin elasticity.
Polynucleotides target these concerns at the cellular level, boosts the under-eye area. This reduces the look of lines, wrinkles, and dark circles. In aesthetics we used to treat these issues with tear trough filler, which carried a high risk of complications.
Key Benefits of Polynucleotide Under Eyes Rejuvenation
- Boosts collagen and elastin production for long-term skin health.
- Hydrates and firms skin to reduce puffiness and dark circles.
- Smooths fine lines and wrinkles like crow’s feet without adding unnatural volume.
- Minimises hollows and tired appearance, offering a refreshed and youthful look.
Comparing Polynucleotides vs. Tear Trough Fillers
Immediate vs. Gradual Results:
- Tear trough fillers (like hyaluronic acid) provide instant results by adding volume that gives an instant filled result.
- Polynucleotides, while slower to show effects, offer deeper, more natural rejuvenation through collagen stimulation. It takes weeks/ months for the DNA to trigger your own body to grow new skin cells.
Longevity of Results:
- Tear trough fillers last 6-12 months. Often require repeat treatments each time holding risk of complications.
- Polynucleotide under eyes effects can last longer as they improve the skin from within. Although the results can be a slow burner, the long term effects are more natural and a safer treatment with less complications.
Best for
- Tear trough fillers are ideal for instant volume correction
- Polynucleotides are better suited for long-term skin health and rejuvenation.
Polynucleotide Under Eyes Treatment Process
- Consultation and Custom Treatment Plan: In my clinic, I will examine your specific under-eye problems during our consultation. From this consultation I will advise and create you a personalised treatment plan.
- Injection Process: Polynucleotides are injected using a needle or cannula. This is done to increase collagen production and improve skin texture.
- Post-Treatment Recovery: Recovery is quick, with minimal bruising or downtime. Results will build gradually over 2-3 sessions, spaced 2-4 weeks apart.

Why Choose Polynucleotides Over Other Treatments?
- Non-Volumising, Natural Look: Unlike fillers that plump the skin, polynucleotides focus on rejuvenation and regeneration, providing more natural results.
- Long-Term Benefits: It boosts collagen, elastin, and hydration. This makes it great for patients seeking lasting improvements instead of quick fixes.
- Minimal Downtime and Low Risk: Polynucleotide injections are less invasive than surgery or other treatments. They have fewer side effects.
Have you previously been told that tear trough filler was just not an option for your under eye? Alternatively have you had a complication with swelling after tear trough filler in the past?
