Will polynucleotides make my dark circles worse before they get better?

You may notice mild swelling or small bumps at the injection points for twenty-four to forty-eight hours, which can temporarily make your under-eye area look a bit odd. After the initial downtime passes, there is no worse before better phase — improvement happens gradually from week four onwards. If swelling persists beyond a few days, contact your practitioner.

How soon after treatment will I see results for my dark circles?

Some clients notice improved hydration within the first week. Visible changes in skin density and vascular darkness typically develop from week four to six. The most noticeable results appear after the full course, around eight to twelve weeks from the first session. Polynucleotides do not produce immediate results — this is a gradual treatment.

What if I have more than one type of dark circle at the same time?

This is actually the most common situation. Many clients have a combination of vascular darkness and skin thinning, which is the best scenario for polynucleotides. Others have a structural hollow combined with pigmentation, which means polynucleotides will not be the main answer. At consultation the practitioner assesses all factors and advises which treatment or combination will give the best result.

Can polynucleotides lighten brown or pigmentation-type dark circles?

Only mildly. Polynucleotides have some anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects that may help marginally with pigmentation, but they are not designed as a pigmentation treatment. If the brown colour of dark circles is the main concern, chemical peels, topical brightening ingredients like vitamin C and niacinamide, or targeted laser treatments are more effective options.
