How long do polynucleotides last under the eyes?

After completing a full course of polynucleotides (usually 2–3 sessions), the under-eye results typically last 6 to 9 months. This varies based on age, lifestyle, hydration, skin quality and how consistently you maintain treatments.

What affects longevity?

  • Age & skin condition — healthier skin often holds results for longer.
  • Number of sessions — completing all sessions gives better durability.
  • Maintenance — top-ups every 6–9 months help sustain the benefits.
  • Lifestyle — smoking, stress, sun exposure and poor sleep affect collagen levels.

What results can you expect?

Polynucleotides work by improving the skin’s natural structure, not by adding volume. This means the improvements are gradual and look very natural.

  • Early changes: subtle improvements within a few weeks.
  • Best results: usually after 2–3 months once collagen and hydration increase.
  • Side effects: mild swelling or redness can occur but usually settles within days.
  • No instant plumping: unlike fillers, polynucleotides improve the skin over time.
