Under-eye concerns
Crepey or tired-looking under-eyes
A focused treatment may be considered where the skin beneath the eyes looks thin, dehydrated or textured. It does not remove eye bags or replace treatment for an underlying medical concern.

Consultation led
Natural-looking results
Personalised treatment planning
Understanding the treatment
Skin quality support without adding facial volume.
Polynucleotides are injectable treatments designed to support the condition and appearance of the skin. They are made using purified fragments of DNA and are used in aesthetic practice to support hydration, elasticity and the skin's natural repair environment.
Unlike dermal fillers, polynucleotides are not used to reshape facial features or create volume. The aim is usually a gradual improvement in how the skin looks and feels rather than a dramatic change to your appearance.
They may be considered for areas such as the under-eyes, face, neck or other suitable areas where the main concern is skin quality, fine texture, dehydration or a tired appearance.
Results vary from person to person. Polynucleotides cannot stop natural ageing or guarantee a specific result, and a course of treatment may be recommended rather than a single appointment.
Who considers polynucleotides?
For clients who want fresher-looking skin without changing their features.
Polynucleotide treatments are often chosen by people who want to focus on the quality, hydration and overall condition of their skin.
Texture
Uneven or less resilient skin
Clients may choose polynucleotides to support skin that looks dull, feels less firm or has developed fine textural changes over time.
Hydration
Dry or tired-looking skin
Polynucleotides may be considered where the aim is to support healthier-looking, more hydrated and refreshed skin.
Fine lines
Early signs of skin ageing
They may help support the appearance of fine lines by improving overall skin quality rather than freezing movement or creating volume.
Post-acne concerns
Skin quality after breakouts
Once active acne is controlled, regenerative treatments may form part of a wider plan for suitable texture or post-acne concerns.
Maintenance
Long-term skin quality support
Some clients use regenerative treatments as part of a broader plan alongside homecare, SPF and other suitable professional treatments.
The ClearSkin4u approach
A treatment plan built around your skin, not a trend.
We begin with a consultation because choosing the right treatment matters more than choosing the treatment currently receiving the most attention.
We discuss your concern
We look at the area you want to treat, how long it has concerned you and what type of result you are hoping to achieve.
We review suitability
Your health, medication, allergies, skin condition and previous treatments are considered before any appointment is recommended.
We explain the options
You will be told why a particular product or treatment pathway may suit you, along with alternatives where appropriate.
We plan realistic care
You will receive clear aftercare, expected treatment intervals and honest guidance about what the treatment may and may not improve.
Treatment options

What to expect
Results develop gradually rather than overnight.
The skin may look slightly red or swollen shortly after treatment, particularly around the under-eyes. Small raised bumps can sometimes be visible at injection points before settling.
Improvement in hydration or skin quality is usually assessed over a period of weeks rather than immediately. A course may be recommended because the aim is progressive support rather than a one-off cosmetic change.
The number and spacing of treatments will depend on the product used, the area being treated and your individual response.
- Consultation before treatment
- Clear discussion of expected outcomes
- Aftercare provided following every appointment
- Review of progress before further treatment
- Maintenance discussed only where appropriate
Understanding your options
Polynucleotides and skin boosters have different purposes.
Both treatments may be described as skin rejuvenation, but the right choice depends on whether your priority is regenerative skin support, hydration or a combination of concerns.
Polynucleotides
Usually selected where the focus is gradual support for skin quality, fine texture and resilience.
- Focused on the condition of the skin
- Often used around the under-eyes
- Does not aim to add facial volume
- Results develop progressively
- A course may be recommended
Hyaluronic acid skin boosters
Usually selected where the main aim is improving hydration, softness and a fresher appearance.
- Primarily focused on hydration
- Can be used across suitable facial areas
- Does not replace dermal filler
- May support glow and skin softness
- Treatment planning varies by product
Profhilo, polynucleotides and other skin boosters are not interchangeable. Your consultation is used to decide which treatment best matches your concern. Read more about Profhilo treatments in Stockport.
Under-eye treatment
The under-eye area requires careful assessment.
Dark circles, hollowing, puffiness, pigmentation and thin skin can look similar but may have different causes. Polynucleotides are not suitable for every type of under-eye concern.
A consultation helps establish whether the main concern is skin texture and hydration or whether another treatment, medical advice or no treatment may be more appropriate.
The aim is a subtle improvement in skin quality rather than a dramatic change to the shape of the under-eye area.
Treatment suitability
Polynucleotides are not suitable for everyone.
Your medical history and current skin condition must be reviewed before treatment. An appointment may need to be delayed, declined or discussed further if there is a safety concern.
- You are pregnant or breastfeeding
- You have an active skin infection in the treatment area
- You feel unwell or are currently taking antibiotics for an infection
- You have a known allergy relevant to the product being considered
- You have an uncontrolled health condition
- You have recently had another treatment in the same area
- Your concern may require medical assessment
This list is not exhaustive. Full suitability is discussed during consultation and treatment will only proceed when it is considered appropriate.
"The focus is not changing your face. It is supporting healthier-looking skin while keeping you looking like yourself."
ClearSkin4u treatment philosophy
Polynucleotide treatment questions
What clients often ask before booking.
Are polynucleotides the same as dermal filler?
No. Dermal fillers are generally used to add or restore volume and can alter facial contours. Polynucleotides are used to support skin quality and do not aim to create volume or reshape the face.
What areas can be treated?
Treatment areas depend on the product being used and your individual suitability. The under-eyes, face and neck are commonly discussed, but a consultation is needed before confirming any treatment area.
Are polynucleotide injections painful?
You may feel a brief sting or pressure during the injections. Comfort varies between clients and also depends on the area being treated. The treatment process and comfort options will be explained beforehand.
How many treatments will I need?
This depends on the product, treatment area, condition of the skin and your goals. A course is often discussed, followed by a review before any maintenance treatment is considered.
When will I see a difference?
Polynucleotide results are usually assessed gradually over several weeks. Some clients first notice a change in hydration or texture, while broader skin quality improvements may take longer.
How long do the results last?
There is no fixed result duration for every client. Skin age, lifestyle, treatment area, product choice and the number of sessions can all affect how long improvements remain noticeable.
Is there any downtime?
Redness, tenderness, swelling, bruising or small raised bumps at injection points may occur. These effects are usually temporary, but downtime varies and full aftercare will be provided.
Are polynucleotides better than Profhilo?
Neither treatment is automatically better. They have different formulations and may suit different concerns. Your consultation should focus on the result you want rather than choosing a treatment based only on popularity.
Can polynucleotides be combined with microneedling?
They may form part of a wider skin plan where both treatments are suitable. They would not normally be carried out without considering treatment timing, skin recovery and the reason each treatment is being recommended.
What should I avoid after treatment?
You will receive personalised aftercare. This commonly includes avoiding touching the area unnecessarily, strenuous exercise, excessive heat, alcohol and certain skin products for a short period, depending on the treatment performed.
