Overview
Injectable biostimulators that rebuild collagen, restore elasticity and deeply hydrate
Polynucleotides are long-chain molecules derived from highly purified natural sources that act as powerful biostimulators in the skin. When injected, they work at a cellular level, stimulating fibroblasts to produce more collagen and elastin, improving hydration and antioxidant defence, and restoring the skin's structural integrity from within.
At Maison Restorative we use PhilArt Polynucleotides by Croma-Pharma, supported by over 70 years of research and more than 100 published studies. The treatment is suitable for all skin types and all ages: for younger patients it maintains and enriches skin health; for more mature patients it helps rejuvenate the face, neck, décolletage and hands by rebuilding elasticity and improving overall quality.
Polynucleotides also improve scarring by remodelling areas with high fibrous content, and they work particularly well alongside other aesthetic treatments such as laser, focused ultrasound and radiofrequency, enhancing and prolonging those results.

Aftercare and follow-up
Some mild redness or swelling is normal and settles within a day or two. Results develop over several weeks as collagen production increases; a follow-up session is usually recommended four to six weeks later.
FAQs
Frequently asked questions
What are polynucleotides made from?
PhilArt Polynucleotides are derived from highly purified natural sources. They are produced using a high purification technology that ensures safety, and are supported by over 70 years of research and more than 100 published studies.
How do polynucleotides differ from dermal fillers or Profhilo?
Dermal fillers add volume and physical structure; Profhilo spreads hyaluronic acid through the tissue as a hydrating bio-remodeller. Polynucleotides work differently, stimulating fibroblasts to produce the skin's own collagen and elastin. The focus is on improving skin quality and architecture rather than adding volume.
Which areas can be treated?
Polynucleotides are commonly used on the face, neck, décolletage and hands. They are also effective for improving the appearance of scars anywhere on the body.
How many sessions will I need?
A course of two to three sessions spaced four to six weeks apart is typical. Your practitioner will recommend the right number based on your skin and goals.
Can polynucleotides be combined with other treatments?
Yes, and this is one of their strengths. They complement and enhance results from laser, focused ultrasound, radiofrequency and injectables. Your practitioner will advise on the best sequencing.
How much do polynucleotide injections cost?
Pricing depends on the number of sessions agreed for you and is confirmed in writing at your consultation, with no obligation to proceed.
