Polynucleotides for Acne Scarring: A Regenerative Treatment Explained by Our Milton Keynes Clinic
Acne scars can be difficult to treat, especially when they leave behind deep textural changes and long-term pigmentation. For clients who have tried multiple topical products or treatments with limited results, Polynucleotide injections offer a powerful new option for regenerating skin tissue from within.
At our Milton Keynes aesthetic clinic, we offer polynucleotides for acne scarring as part of our advanced regenerative treatment menu. In this blog, we explain what polynucleotides are, how they work, and why they’re showing such promise in the treatment of acne scars.
🧬 What Are Polynucleotides?
Polynucleotides are injectable biostimulatory molecules derived from highly purified DNA fragments (often salmon DNA). Unlike fillers that simply add volume or hydration, polynucleotides stimulate tissue regeneration, activate fibroblasts, and promote collagen and elastin synthesis—making them ideal for healing and rebuilding damaged skin.
💡 How Do Polynucleotides Help Treat Acne Scars?
Acne scars are typically caused by collagen damage and inflammation following moderate to severe acne. Polynucleotides work at a cellular level to reverse some of this damage, promoting new tissue formation and improving the skin’s texture over time.
They:
Stimulate fibroblast activity to rebuild collagen
Encourage dermal healing in pitted or atrophic scars
Improve skin tone and elasticity
Reduce inflammation and redness, often seen in post-acne marks
What sets polynucleotides apart is that they’re not just masking the scars—they’re actively helping the skin repair itself.
💡 Polynucleotides are injectable treatments that rebuild collagen and repair acne scarring from within, improving skin texture naturally.
📅 How Many Treatments Will I Need?
For acne scarring, we typically recommend a course of 3 to 4 polynucleotide treatments spaced 2 to 3 weeks apart. Results appear gradually over several weeks, as the skin’s natural repair mechanisms are activated. Maintenance treatments every 6–9 months can help sustain the results.
🧖♀️ Who Is a Good Candidate?
Polynucleotides are suitable for:
Clients with textured or pitted acne scars
People who haven’t responded well to topical or laser treatments
Those looking for a natural, non-surgical solution
Sensitive skin types needing low-inflammatory, regenerative care
At your consultation in Milton Keynes, we’ll assess your scarring type and customise a treatment plan based on your skin’s needs.
