Polynucleotide (PN) Eye Therapy
The natural process of ageing causes our skin to lose its elasticity over time. Extrinsic factors such as harsh weather and prolonged sun exposure also play an important role in determining how soon wrinkles and fine lines appear on the face. In particular, the skin around the eyes is likely to age much faster than other areas of the face because it is thin with little collagen and elastin.
Fine lines, wrinkles and dark eye circle become more visible after the age of 30. If these signs of premature ageing make you feel self-conscious, there are non-surgical treatments to restore a pair of bright, youthful eyes.
Causes of undereye wrinkles and fine lines
SKIN IS VERY THIN The skin around the eyes is about 10 times thinner than other parts of the face. This means that the skin around the eye area is deficient in collagen and elastin, making it less resistant to extrinsic ageing.
In addition, the tissue around the eyes is naturally lacking in fat and muscles. The lack of these supporting elements increases the probability of premature ageing.
UV EXPOSURE Prolonged exposure of harmful UV rays break down collagen in the skin. Since collagen is an essential component for youthful-looking skin, the gradual break down of collagen will lead to saggy, wrinkled skin.
SMOKING Studies have found a strong correlation between smoking and the early formation of wrinkles and ageing of the skin. Many studies have found that nicotine found in cigarettes causes blood vessels to constrict, reducing oxygen flow and nutrients to skin cells.
REPETITIVE FACIAL MOVEMENTS Facial expressions such as smiling, frowning and squinting your eyes can cause fine lines and wrinkles to develop on the face.
PN Injectable Therapy For ageing eyes
PN Eye Therapy is a polynucleotide-based injectable treatment designed to support skin repair and rejuvenation around the delicate eye area. Polynucleotides are DNA fragments that help create a healthier environment for skin renewal, supporting the skin’s natural repair processes and improving overall skin quality over time.
Derived from purified salmon DNA, polynucleotides have been used in aesthetic treatments to help improve the appearance of ageing, tired, or damaged skin. When injected into the skin, PN Eye Therapy helps to promote hydration, elasticity, and tissue repair, gradually improving the look of fine lines, crepiness, and overall skin texture around the eyes.
The formulation used for the eye area is specially designed to be lighter and less viscous than PN treatments used for the face. This makes it more suitable for the thin and delicate skin around the eyes, helping to reduce the risk of visible bumps or unevenness after treatment when administered appropriately.
PN Eye Therapy may be considered for patients who are concerned with tired-looking eyes, fine lines, thin under-eye skin, poor skin quality, or early signs of ageing around the eye area. Results develop gradually and may vary between individuals, with a series of sessions often recommended for more sustained improvement.
How does pN Eye Therapy Work?
PN Eye Therapy works by delivering polynucleotides directly into the delicate skin around the eye area through a series of precise microinjections. Polynucleotides are DNA fragments that help support the skin’s natural repair and regeneration processes, creating a healthier environment for skin renewal from within.
Once injected, PN Eye Therapy helps to stimulate tissue repair, improve hydration, and support collagen and elastin production over time. This can gradually improve the appearance of fine lines, crepey skin, thin under-eye skin, and overall skin texture around the eyes.
Unlike dermal fillers, PN Eye Therapy is not primarily used to add volume or create structural lift. Instead, it focuses on improving skin quality, resilience, and elasticity. The treatment is especially suitable for the eye area because the formulation is lighter and designed for thinner skin, helping to refresh tired-looking eyes in a more natural and gradual way.
Results usually develop progressively over the following weeks as the skin repair process takes place. Depending on your skin condition and concerns, a series of sessions may be recommended for more sustained improvement.
How is PN eye Therapy Administered?
PN Eye Therapy is administered through a series of small, precise microinjections around the delicate eye area. Before treatment, the doctor will first assess your under-eye skin quality, concerns, medical history, and suitability for the procedure. The treatment area is then cleansed, and a numbing cream may be applied to improve comfort.
Using a fine needle, small amounts of the polynucleotide solution are carefully placed into targeted areas around the eyes. The injection points and depth will depend on your skin condition, degree of fine lines, crepiness, thinning skin, and overall treatment goals.
After treatment, mild redness, swelling, small bumps, or bruising may occur around the injection sites. These are usually temporary and should gradually settle over the next few days. Your doctor will provide aftercare instructions to support recovery and help reduce the risk of irritation or prolonged swelling.
PN Eye Therapy is usually performed as a series of sessions, depending on your skin condition and desired outcome. Results develop gradually as the skin repair and regeneration process takes place.
How often do i need to undergo PN Eye Therapy Treatment?
The recommended frequency for PN Eye Therapy depends on your skin condition, concerns, and desired outcome. In general, a series of treatments may be recommended initially to support skin repair, hydration, and gradual improvement in the delicate eye area.
For many patients, PN Eye Therapy may be performed every 2 to 4 weeks during the initial treatment phase. Once the desired improvement is achieved, maintenance sessions may be recommended every few months to help sustain the results.
Your doctor will assess the quality of your under-eye skin, degree of fine lines, crepiness, thinning skin, and overall suitability before advising on a personalised treatment plan. Results vary between individuals and usually develop gradually as the skin’s repair and regeneration processes are supported over time.
Can I see immediate results?
Results from PN Eye Therapy are generally not immediate, as the treatment works by supporting the skin’s natural repair and regeneration processes over time. Some patients may notice mild temporary plumping or hydration shortly after treatment due to the injection itself, but this is not the final result.
The improvement usually develops gradually over the following weeks as skin quality, hydration, elasticity, and texture begin to improve. Fine lines, crepiness, and tired-looking under-eye skin may appear softer and more refreshed with a recommended series of treatments.
As PN Eye Therapy focuses on skin repair rather than instant volume replacement, results are usually subtle, progressive, and natural-looking. Your doctor will advise on the expected timeline based on your skin condition and treatment plan.
