Polynucleotides Stretch Marks
Advanced biostimulation to soften stretch marks and improve texture, firmness and skin quality.
Service Description
Polynucleotides are an advanced regenerative treatment designed to improve the appearance of stretch marks by stimulating deep tissue repair, increasing collagen and elastin production, and improving overall skin texture. This treatment uses highly purified DNA fragments to activate the skin’s natural healing processes, making it an effective option for both newer red (striae rubra) and older white (striae alba) stretch marks. At The Nurse Practitioner Clinic, all treatments are administered by an NMC-registered Advanced Nurse Practitioner following UK clinical and safety guidelines. What this treatment can help with Red (rubra) and white (alba) stretch marks Texture irregularities Loss of skin elasticity Thin or weakened skin around affected areas Postpartum stretch marks Stretch marks from weight changes, growth spurts or muscle gain How the treatment works Polynucleotides work through biostimulation, meaning they repair and rebuild the skin from within. Injected into the affected area, they: Stimulate fibroblasts to increase collagen and elastin Improve hydration and skin thickness Reduce inflammation and redness Strengthen the dermal structure surrounding the stretch mark Encourage healthier, more uniform tissue formation This leads to smoother, more supple skin and a visible reduction in the appearance of stretch marks over time. Recommended treatment plan A structured course is essential for optimal results: 3 sessions, spaced 2–3 weeks apart Maintenance sessions every 6–12 months depending on severity and response Improvements continue to develop gradually for several months following treatment Downtime Minimal: Mild swelling, redness or small visible injection points for 24–48 hours Occasional bruising Normal activities can typically be resumed immediately Pain level Low to moderate depending on area. Topical anaesthetic is offered for comfort. Appointment duration Approximately 30–60 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area.
