“High-Tech Facials: Polynucleotides” — Professional Beauty’s April 2025 issue spotlights the transformative potential of polynucleotide skin therapy, with a deep dive into patient experiences at the Dr Yusra Clinic.

“The beauty world is abuzz with talk of polynucleotides – DNA fragments extracted typically from salmon or trout sperm to bio-stimulate positive changes in the skin,” writes Professional Beauty. “They can increase collagen and elastin, improve skin texture, boost hydration, and even promote wound healing.”

One patient, concerned about her periorbital eye area, turned to polynucleotides after shying away from tear-trough filler. Though initial results were subtle, photographs taken months after her second treatment revealed a visible reduction in under-eye puffiness and skin laxity – all without invasive procedures. Treatments were administered by Dr Yusra Al-Mukhtar and rising star Dr Kate Bennett Brown, who each applied unique but effective approaches to dosage and injection technique.

With minimal downtime and steadily improving results over time, polynucleotides are carving out their place as the non-invasive go-to for regenerative rejuvenation – especially for delicate facial areas often difficult to treat.

The Verdict? Polynucleotides are fast becoming a skincare essential – not just for correcting signs of ageing, but for preventing them altogether.
