Polynucleotides Hair Treatment

What are polynucleotides?

Polynucleotides are an injectable treatment used in aesthetic clinics to support skin and scalp quality. Applied to the scalp, they can help create a healthier environment for the hair follicles. They are not a hair transplant, and any improvement tends to build gradually over a short course of sessions.

Who is polynucleotides hair treatment for?

People usually ask about polynucleotide hair treatment when they notice thinning at the crown or hairline, or a scalp that feels dry and irritated. It can help as part of a wider plan, alongside sensible scalp care and, where needed, advice from your GP about the cause of hair loss. We assess suitability at a consultation before booking any treatment.

What happens at your appointment?

Your first visit is a consultation, where we talk through your hair history and look at the scalp. The treatment itself involves a series of small injections across the areas of concern, and it takes well under an hour. Most people go straight back to their day afterwards.

How long do results last?

Any improvement builds gradually over a short course of sessions, usually spaced a few weeks apart. How long the effect lasts varies from person to person, and maintenance sessions can help keep the scalp in good condition. Because hair responds slowly, we keep expectations modest and honest.

What should I do after polynucleotides?

Aftercare is straightforward: we usually suggest leaving the scalp alone for the rest of the day. Hold off on washing your hair, styling products and heavy exercise until the next morning. You may notice small bumps or mild redness at the injection points at first, and these normally settle within a day or two.

Polynucleotides or PRP for hair loss?

Both are gentle, clinic-based options for thinning hair, and neither is a transplant. PRP uses your own plasma, while polynucleotides are a prepared injectable, and some clients combine the two over time. We will recommend one, the other or neither once we have seen your scalp. If you would rather read the comparison first, we have set out how the three injectable options differ.
