Experts in Under Eye Polynucleotides in London
Treat under eye dark circle and restore thin periorbital skin with
our signature non-surgical treatment using polynucleotides.
What are Polynucleotides?
Polynucleotides are fragments of Fish DNA in a saline injectable gel that aim to help repair tissue by stimulating fibroblasts, encouraging cell turnover, improving elasticity, and boosting collagen production and hydration of the skin. Those who are susceptible to swelling after conventional dermal fillers or are concerned about complications associated with dermal fillers, and have very thin under-eye skin are ideal candidates. Polynucleotides enhance the skin’s quality by encouraging the body’s natural regenerative processes.

How Does Polynucleotide
Procedure Work?
Dr. Sabrina often uses a numbing cream that is applied for 15 minutes prior to the procedure. The whole procedure takes around 15 minutes, and a fine needle or cannula is used to perform the treatment. Polynucleotides (PDRNs) work by signalling to particular cells in the body to change their behaviour and generate collagen, hyaluronic acid, and fat. These result in a tighter, brighter, more lifted appearance naturally, but it takes time and a course of treatments.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can polynucleotide treatment benefit my under-eye area?
Polynucleotide treatment can help by:
– Making dark circles look less noticeable
– Smoothing out crow’s feet and fine lines under the eyes
– Improving skin hydration and circulation in this sensitive area
Polynucleotides help increase collagen and elastin by activating fibroblast cells, as well as promoting tissue regeneration and restoring skin tone and elasticity. They also have antioxidant and hydrating properties, which can make the skin look and feel healthier.
When will I see the results?
Patients can expect to see improvements after 2-4 treatments, between 3-4 weeks apart, which can last 6–9 months.
What happens during the polynucleotide treatment?
First, we will take a photo of you before the treatment. Then, we will apply a numbing cream on your eyelids and wait for 10-20 minutes for it to work. The actual treatment usually takes less than 15 minutes. You may see some immediate results, but there could be some swelling and bruising afterwards. If you have dark circles under your eyes along with a sunken area, you may need special skincare to help with the dark circles too.
Are polynucleotide fillers painful?
We use a numbing cream under the eyes before the treatment, so the injections should not be painful.
What are the side effects and recovery time?
You might have some mild swelling and bruising, but it shouldn’t last long and can be covered with makeup. Our goal is to give you a natural look, and any swelling or bruising should go away fairly quickly.
Who should avoid this treatment?
This treatment is not suitable for vegetarians, vegans, or individuals with fish allergies because it contains animal products. It is also not recommended for use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
Can I consume alcohol before getting this treatment?
We advise against consuming alcohol at least 24 hours before the treatment as injections can lead to bruising.

Patient Reviews
“I had a very positive experience. She provided me with relevant pictures of what to expect post surgery which was very useful. Her post op information was clear and easy to follow. She came across as a very caring and confident practitioner. The outcome she described before surgery was realistic and she skilfully performed this.”
“I would like to express how happy I am with the results of my upper blepharoplasty. My eyes have healed really well and I am already getting compliments on how perfect they look! I would like to thank Mrs Sabrina Shah-Desai for her time, caring attitude and excellent results.”
“I've been wanting to have upper & lower lid surgery for some years. I have hereditary heavy eyelids, tea troughs & also bags under my eyes. I'm constantly told I'm looking tired! I researched a lot of surgeons & finally came across Sabrina Shah-Desai through a recommendation from an aesthetic nurse.”
“I feel that I've found my 'face doctor' and that is as valuable to me as the happiness I feel when I look in the mirror. Thanks too to Abi who was on hand during my recovery. She has a kind and caring nature and was on call the whole time during my recovery to give me the reassurance that I occasionally needed.”
“By far the best experience I have ever had with a doctor! Mrs Shah Desai is so professional, knowledgable and thorough with her approach and at the same time so kind, warm and friendly. I highly recommend her for any kind of surgery in the eye area.... I had a very fast and smooth recovery and I am so pleased with the results!”
“I've had very heavy set eyes for the last 10 years that's aged me and decided that I now wanted to have treatment to help this problem. At consultation with Sabrina I felt confedent about suggested treatment for me. I had Blepharoplasty which was almost pain free and am so happy with my results.”
