Pre-Care Instructions

To ensure optimal results and a smooth experience, please follow these steps before your Polynucleotide appointment:

Avoid alcohol for 24 hours prior to treatment — this helps minimize bruising and swelling.
Stop taking blood-thinning medications or supplements (such as aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, vitamin E, or Ginkgo Biloba) for 3–5 days before your appointment, unless prescribed by your doctor.
Avoid active skincare products (retinol, AHAs, BHAs, exfoliants) for 2–3 days prior to treatment.
Do not schedule dental or facial procedures within 2 weeks of your Polynucleotide treatment.
Stay hydrated — drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your appointment for best results.
Arrive with clean skin, free from makeup, lotions, or SPF.
If you have any skin infections, rashes, or cold sores, please reschedule until your skin has fully healed.

Polynucleotides work by stimulating skin regeneration, so good after-care helps maximize your results:

Do not touch or apply pressure to the treated area for at least 6 hours post-treatment.
Avoid makeup, skincare products, and active ingredients (retinol, acids, vitamin C) for 24 hours after your appointment.
Do not expose the treated area to heat — avoid saunas, sunbeds, hot showers, or exercise for 24–48 hours.
Avoid alcohol and intense physical activity for 24 hours.
Mild redness, swelling, or small bumps at injection sites are normal and usually resolve within 1–3 days.
Do not have facials, peels, or laser treatments for at least 2 weeks after treatment.
Keep your skin hydrated — use a gentle, non-active moisturizer and drink plenty of water.
Avoid direct sun exposure and always wear broad-spectrum SPF daily to protect your results.
Results will gradually improve over several weeks as collagen and elastin production increase.
A course of treatments (usually 2–4 sessions spaced a few weeks apart) is recommended for best, long-lasting results.
