Polynucleotides: Revolutionary Solution for Under-Eye Concerns

The under-eye area is the first to show signs of ageing, stress and fatigue. At Omniya Clinic we offer our patients a solution: polynucleotide treatments for under-eye problems. This new approach tackles dark circles and puffiness and gives you a fresh youthful look without the need for more invasive procedures.

Under-Eye Concerns

The delicate skin under the eyes is often one of the first areas to show signs of ageing, fatigue, or health issues. Two of the most common problems in this area are dark circles and puffiness, both of which can affect your overall appearance and confidence. Here’s a closer look at what causes these concerns:

What Causes Dark Circles Under Eyes?

Dark circles under the eyes can give you a tired, worn-out appearance, even when you’re well-rested. Several factors can contribute to their development, including:

• Genetics: Some people are naturally predisposed to dark circles, which may be a hereditary trait passed down through generations.
• Thinning Skin: As we age, the skin under our eyes becomes thinner, making the blood vessels beneath more visible. This can give the under-eye area a darker, shadowed appearance.
• Hyperpigmentation: Increased melanin production can lead to darker pigmentation under the eyes, particularly in people with darker skin tones. This can be due to sun exposure, hormonal changes, or skin inflammation.
• Poor Circulation: Reduced blood flow around the eyes can cause blood to pool in this area, giving the skin a bluish or purple hue. Poor circulation can result from lifestyle factors such as lack of sleep, dehydration, or overall health.

What Causes Under Eye Puffiness?

Under-eye puffiness or bags can make the face look swollen or aged. This can occur for a variety of reasons, including:

• Fluid Retention: Excess fluid can accumulate under the eyes due to factors such as a high-sodium diet, dehydration, or changes in the weather, causing puffiness.
• Lack of Sleep: Insufficient rest can lead to fluid buildup and make puffiness more noticeable. Lack of sleep also reduces the skin’s ability to repair and regenerate itself.
• Allergies: Allergic reactions can cause inflammation and swelling in the delicate under-eye area, leading to puffiness.
• Ageing-Related Fat Displacement: As we age, the fat that naturally supports the eyes can shift downward or become more prominent, leading to the appearance of under-eye bags or puffiness.

Understanding the underlying causes of these common under-eye issues is the first step toward choosing the right treatments to restore a more youthful and refreshed appearance.

What are Polynucleotides?

Polynucleotides (PNs) are chains of nucleotides, the building blocks of DNA and RNA. When used in aesthetic treatments they act as powerful biostimulators, stimulating the body’s natural regenerative processes. Unlike traditional fillers PNs work from within, stimulating collagen production and improving overall skin quality.The Science Behind PolynucleotidesA 2019 study published in the Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology found that PN treatments showed amazing results in skin rejuvenation. The study found a 32% improvement in skin brightness after just 4 weeks of treatment

Lead researcher at the University of London’s Department of Dermatology says: “Polynucleotides work by activating fibroblasts, the cells that produce collagen and elastin. This activation leads to a cascade of regenerative processes resulting in firmer, more youthful looking skin.”

How Polynucleotides Treat Under-Eye Problems

Polynucleotides approach under-eye rejuvenation in a unique way:

1. Cellular Regeneration: Stimulates new healthy cells in the under-eye area.
2. Collagen Boost: Increases collagen production, thickens skin and improves elasticity.
3. Hydration: Attracts and retains moisture, plumps the skin and reduces fine lines.
4. Microcirculation: Improves blood flow, reduces dark circles.
5. Anti-inflammatory: Reduces puffiness and swelling.

Polynucleotide Benefits for Under-Eye Concerns

1. Dark Circles: PNs can reduce dark circles by improving circulation and reducing pigmentation. A 2020 study in the International Journal of Cosmetic Science found 28% reduction in under-eye darkness after a course of PN treatments
2. Fine Lines and Wrinkles: By stimulating collagen production PNs smooth out fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes. A study in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology found 40% reduction in periorbital wrinkles after 3 months of PN treatments
3. Skin Hydration: PNs retain moisture beautifully, plumps the skin and reduces crepey skin under the eyes.
4. Puffiness: The anti-inflammatory properties of PNs reduce under-eye puffiness. A 2021 study in the Archives of Dermatological Research found 35% reduction in under-eye swelling
5. Overall Skin Quality: PNs improve skin texture, tone and elasticity resulting in a more youthful looking skin.

The Polynucleotide Under-Eye Treatment

At Omniya Clinic we have refined our under-eye polynucleotide treatment to get the best results:

1. Consultation: We assess your under-eye concerns and discuss your goals.
2. Customised: We tailor the treatment to your individual needs, taking into account your skin type and the severity of your concerns.
3. Precise: We use ultra-fine needles to inject polynucleotides into the under-eye area.
4. Comfort: We use techniques to minimise discomfort, topical anaesthetics if needed.
5. Aftercare: We provide aftercare instructions to get the best results and minimise any side effects.

Most patients require 3-4 treatments, 2-3 weeks apart for best results. Maintenance treatments every 6-9 months.

Polynucleotides vs Traditional Under-Eye Treatments

To help you understand why polynucleotides are becoming popular for under-eye treatments let’s compare them to traditional options:

“While fillers still have their place especially for volume loss, polynucleotides offer a more holistic approach to under-eye rejuvenation. They’re especially good for patients with thin or crepey skin where traditional fillers might be too risky.”

How to Get the Most out of Your Under-Eye Polynucleotide Treatment

1. Hydrate: Drink plenty of water to support skin hydration.
2. Sunscreen: Always use a high-SPF sunscreen around the eye area.
3. Gentle Skincare: Use eye creams recommended by your Omniya practitioner.
4. Healthy Lifestyle: Adequate sleep and balanced diet can help achieve better results.
5. Follow-Up: Follow the recommended treatment schedule for best, long lasting results.

Polynucleotides with Other Under-Eye Treatments

For full under-eye rejuvenation we may recommend combining polynucleotides with:

1. LED Light Therapy: To reduce inflammation and promote healing.
2. Microneedling: To increase product absorption and collagen production.
3. Targeted Skincare: Prescription strength creams to address specific concerns like pigmentation.

Aesthetic Director at Omniya Clinic says: “By combining polynucleotide treatments with other modalities we can address multiple aspects of under-eye aging at once. This holistic approach often gets better and longer lasting results.

Is Under-Eye Polynucleotide Treatment for You?

Suitable for:

• Early signs of under-eye aging
• Dark circles or mild to moderate puffiness
• Natural gradual improvement
• Minimally invasive treatments

But not everyone. During your consultation at Omniya Clinic we’ll assess your suitability based on medical history and skin condition.

Safety and Side Effects

One of the biggest benefits of polynucleotide treatments is their safety profile. A study published in the Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy 2021 found that PN had lower rate of adverse events compared to traditional dermal fillers in the under-eye area

Common side effects are usually mild and temporary:

• Redness or swelling at the injection sites
• Mild bruising
• Temporary tenderness

These should resolve within a few days. Serious complications are extremely rare when done by a qualified practitioner.

“Patient safety is key. While polynucleotide treatments are very safe, you must choose a reputable clinic with experienced practitioners who understand the under-eye anatomy.
