Injectable polynucleotides are one of the most effective treatments in aesthetic medicine for improving skin quality.
They stimulate collagen and elastin production and treat difficult areas such as the eye contour.
At Phenicia Clinic, our protocol uses recognized salmon DNA-based products such as Nucleofill or PhilArt.
They are sometimes referred to as "salmon sperm injections," but they are actually purified polynucleotide chains.
Polynucleotides: what are they really?
Polynucleotides are highly purified DNA fragments capable of activating a set of biological processes already exploited in gene therapy. Their mechanism of action is based on three major levers:
Deep hydration and cell repair
When injected into the dermis, polynucleotides act like a water magnet. This deep hydration immediately improves skin texture, radiance, and elasticity.
Intense stimulation of collagen and elastin
By reactivating fibroblasts, we achieve a genuine anti-aging effect that is structural , long-lasting, and preventive, far superior to a simple conventional skin booster.
Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory action
Enhanced cellular protection that contributes to improved skin tolerance, even on areas known to be difficult.
They belong to the same biomolecular family as polypeptides, but with greater regenerative power.
A key treatment for the face and dark circles
Polynucleotide technology is relevant for:
Treatment of dark circles
This is one of the signature indications. The product can be injected into the skin around the eyes to:
- Fill in light to moderate dark circles with a biological, non-volumizing effect.
- Improve dark circles under the eyes,
- Reduce dark circles under the eyes,
- Treat certain types of dark circles that are resistant to hyaluronic acid.
Facial treatment
Firming, refined pores, wrinkled skin, fine lines, slight sagging.
Prevention of aging
Ideal approach from age 30 onwards to slow down the deterioration of support fibers.
Skin improvement
Improves skin texture, radiance, and sensitivity.
Polynucleotides vs. hyaluronic acid: two distinct approaches
Unlike hyaluronic acid, which is used to fill and hydrate, polynucleotides act as a regenerative booster. They do not add volume: they improve the skin deeply, in a restorative and functionalway . Around the eyes, this treatment reduces the risk of overcorrection or puffiness associated with hyaluronic acid.
How does an injection session work?
Prior medical consultation
Assessment of the dermis, analysis of the type of dark circles, exclusion of autoimmune diseases, and personalized treatment plan.
The injection session
- drooping upper eyelid,
- Microinjections in layers or at cannula entry points
- The procedure takes 10 to 20 minutes.
- Immediate resumption of activities
The products can be used as monotherapy or as part of an advanced protocol combining lasers, peels, or biostimulators.

See AH treatmentWhat are the contraindications for polynucleotide injections?
Injections are not recommended in the following cases:
- Pregnancy/breastfeeding,
- Active skin infections,
- Uncontrolled autoimmune diseases,
- Known hypersensitivity to the components,
- History of severe inflammation in the treated area.
