Before and after your appointment

Dr Azoo goes through this with you at your consultation. These points are a reminder, and he will adjust them to you.

Before your appointment

  • Tell Dr Azoo about your medicines, allergies, and whether you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or unwell.
  • Avoid alcohol for 24 hours beforehand.
  • Do not take aspirin or ibuprofen unless a doctor has prescribed it for you. Do not stop a prescribed medicine on your own.
  • Come without make-up on the area if you can, or be ready for it to be cleaned.
  • A course of three is usual, three to four weeks apart.

Aftercare

  • Redness and small bumps for up to a day are normal.
  • Avoid make-up overnight.
  • Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, steam rooms and swimming for 24 hours.
  • Do not massage or press the area unless Dr Azoo has asked you to.
  • Most people notice a change from about three weeks after the first session.
  • Contact the clinic promptly if pain is increasing, the skin changes colour, or anything worries you.

Common questions

What are polynucleotides?

Highly purified DNA fragments, usually of fish origin, that support the skin’s natural repair by stimulating fibroblasts, the cells that build collagen.

When will I see results?

Most people notice an improvement around three weeks after the first session. Results typically last six to nine months.

Are there side effects?

Usually mild: some redness, swelling or small bumps at the injection points for a day or so. Dr Azoo will go through your medical history first.

About polynucleotides at Dr Azoo

Dr Azoo uses Plinest, Plinest Eye and Newest. Polynucleotides calm inflammation and support the skin’s repair processes, which is why they suit fine lines, dark under-eye circles, laxity and uneven tone.

They are often combined with Profhilo or a skin booster as part of a skin-quality plan.
