At Medusa Beauty Zone, nestled in the creative heart of Shoreditch, we are passionate about bringing scientifically advanced, naturally regenerative skincare to our clients. One of our standout treatments is polynucleotide injection, also known as salmon-DNA therapy. It may sound futuristic, but it is grounded in nature, and delivers remarkably visible results. Whether you’re curious about rejuvenating tear-troughs, smoothing fine lines, or boosting overall skin health, here’s everything you need to know.
What Exactly Is Polynucleotide Treatment?
Polynucleotides (PN) derive from highly purified salmon DNA (Salmon-derived Polydeoxyribonucleotide, or PDRN). These molecules act like little messengers: they communicate with your skin cells, telling them to heal, regenerate, and restore themselves. At Medusa Beauty Zone, we harness this regenerative power using targeted polynucleotide injections.
Unlike fillers that simply “fill” or Botox that relaxes muscles, polynucleotide treatment works by improving your skin structure from the inside out. It supports collagen and elastin production, deeply hydrates the skin, and optimises your skin’s natural healing mechanisms.
Why Consider Polynucleotide Injection in Shoreditch?
As London’s aesthetics scene evolves, polynucleotide treatments in Shoreditch are becoming a preferred solution for clients seeking a subtle, natural transformation. Here are a few reasons why people come to us for this treatment:
- Regeneration, not just correction: These injections help to strengthen your skin’s foundation, giving long-term improvements in texture, tone, and firmness.
- Safe and biocompatible: Since PN is derived from purified salmon DNA, it’s highly biocompatible and well tolerated by many skin types.
- Versatile applications: We offer different formulations, from Vitaran (hydration & quality) to Rejuran (repair) to Nucleofill (volume & wrinkles).
- Minimal downtime: After treatment, many clients experience only mild redness or swelling for 24–48 hours.
- Long-lasting results: With a proper course, the effects may last several months, and ongoing maintenance can help sustain improvements.
What Happens During a Polynucleotide Treatment Session
Here’s how we carry out polynucleotide injections at our Shoreditch clinic:
- Consultation & Assessment
We start with a thorough skin evaluation, understanding your concerns, medical history, and desired outcome. Based on that, we choose the right brand (Vitaran, Rejuran, or Nucleofill) for you. - Preparation
Your skin is cleansed with medical-grade products, and we apply a topical numbing cream to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. - Injection
Using very fine needles (or a cannula in some cases), we administer the PN solution into the dermis or just below. This process helps to deliver the polynucleotides precisely and effectively. - Post-Treatment Care
- After your session, you might feel some mild redness or a sun-burn-like sensation, but this usually settles within a couple of days. We give you aftercare guidance to support healing and maximize results
- Results Timeline
You may notice hydrated, plumper skin in the week after treatment. Over the next 4–12 weeks, regeneration continues, and you’ll often see improvements in elasticity, skin tone, and fine lines.
How Much Does Polynucleotide Treatment Cost in Shoreditch?
One of the most common questions we get is about polynucleotide treatment cost Shoreditch. At Medusa Beauty Zone, our pricing is transparent: according to our published price list, a polynucleotide treatment for the face is £200.
This rate reflects the premium quality of the salmon-DNA serums we use, our experienced practitioners, and the bespoke care you receive in our Shoreditch clinic. For under-eye treatments or more advanced protocols, pricing may vary based on brand selection (Vitaran, Rejuran, Nucleofill) and number of sessions.
Who Is a Good Fit for Polynucleotide Therapy?
We often recommend polynucleotide injections for clients who:
- Have fine lines or superficial wrinkles but do not want traditional fillers
- Want hydration and skin quality improvement rather than volume
- Have under-eye hollowing, dark circles, or very thin skin
- Seek repair after acne, sun damage, or other skin stressors
- Prefer a treatment that stimulates natural healing and collagen production
Because PN is regenerative rather than volumizing, it’s ideal for clients looking for subtle, natural improvement.
Safety & Suitability Considerations
While polynucleotide treatment is generally very safe, there are some important considerations:
- Those with fish allergies should inform us, as PN in our clinic is derived from salmon DNA.
- You may experience mild side effects: redness, swelling, or occasional bruising, these typically resolve within 48 hours.
- Results are gradual. Unlike fillers or Botox, you won’t see dramatic “plumpness” immediately, true regeneration unfolds over weeks as collagen builds.

FAQs: Your Questions Answered
Q1: How many polynucleotide injection sessions will I need?
We typically recommend 3–4 sessions, spaced 3–4 weeks apart, to achieve optimal rejuvenation. Over time, you can choose maintenance sessions every 4–6 months depending on your skin’s response.
Q2: Is the treatment painful?
Most clients find it manageable with the numbing cream we apply beforehand. You might feel some light pressure or pricking, but discomfort is usually minimal and short-lived.
Q3: How long do the results last?
While individual results vary, many of our clients see noticeable improvements that last 4–9 months, depending on which polynucleotide brand we use (Vitaran, Rejuran, or Nucleofill).
Q4: Can polynucleotide injections be combined with other treatments?
Absolutely. We often combine PN with microneedling, LED therapy, or other skin-boosting treatments for enhanced regenerative results and synergistic skin renewal.
Q5: Is polynucleotide treatment safe for all skin types?
Yes, PN is highly biocompatible and well tolerated by many skin types. However, those with active infections, severe allergies (especially fish), or certain health conditions should discuss suitability with our practitioners.
