The world of aesthetic treatments is evolving all the time. At the Nimmo Clinic, it’s our job to evaluate new treatments to understand how they can best be applied to your personal aesthetic regime, and to make sure that you get the right types of treatment to help you achieve your wellbeing journey. 

It’s also our duty to keep you updated, so that you can make informed decisions too. One of the recent breakthroughs we’re most excited about is polynucleotides, also often called PDRN (after polydeoxyribonucleotide, one of this family of biopolymers).  

This cutting-edge therapy is rapidly gaining popularity for its ability to rejuvenate the skin by stimulating collagen production. In this clear and simple guide, we’ll discover what polynucleotides are, how they work, and why we’re confident to offer them at The Nimmo Clinics in Cobham, Surrey and Chelsea, London. 

What Are Polynucleotides? 

Polynucleotides are a type of biopolymer. They crop up everywhere across our biology – your DNA itself is a polynucleotide with a very important biological function. In the context of aesthetic medicine, we’re interested in polynucleotides because they are long and flexible and stimulate some of the processes we typically lose with aging. The polynucleotides we use are derived from salmon DNA to safely mimic our human stimulation of cell production. They are safe, effective, and versatile, making them a popular choice for patients and something which we as practitioners are happy to recommend. 

How Do Polynucleotides Work? 

Polynucleotides stimulate the tissue regeneration and rejuvenation which we typically lose as we age. When administered into the skin through injections or topical application, polynucleotides promote the production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid, all of which are essential ingredients for more youthful and radiant skin. That means they’re a multipurpose tool, attacking the signs of aging on many fronts: 

• Collagen Boost: Polynucleotides trigger the body’s natural collagen synthesis, leading to firmer and more elastic skin. 
• Cellular Repair: They promote cell growth and repair, helping to fade fine lines, wrinkles, scars, reduce hyperpigmentation, and reduce inflammation. 
• Improved Blood Flow: Polynucleotides enhance blood circulation, which in turn increases the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to your skin cells. 
• Hydration: They help the skin retain moisture, resulting in a more plump and hydrated appearance. 
• Enhance cell production: Polynucleotides enhance the production of fibroblasts, cells that secrete collagen and support the structural strength of tissue, including skin tissues. 
• Enhance cell healing: They support angiogenesis, the development of new blood vessels; which in turn improves the capacity for skin cells to heal. 

Why Choose Polynucleotide Therapy? 

At The Nimmo Clinic, our philosophy is that aesthetics should gently enhance your natural appearance by working in harmony with the individual characteristics of your skin. We look for treatments that you can trust for optimised skin health and long-term well-being. Here’s why polynucleotides are worth your consideration: 

• Natural and Safe: Polynucleotides are derived from salmon DNA, making them biocompatible and safe for most skin types.  
• Versatile: This treatment can be used on various parts of the body, including the face, neck, hands, and even the scalp, making it appropriate and well-tested for a wide range of skincare challenges which may be worrying you. 
• Minimal Downtime: Unlike surgical procedures, polynucleotide therapy at The Nimmo Clinic requires little to no downtime, so you can get back to your normal daily routine almost immediately. 
• Long-Lasting Results: Many patients report seeing improvements that last for several months, with a series of treatments offering even longer-lasting results and cumulative benefits. 

Is Polynucleotide Therapy Right for You? 

Like every aesthetic treatment, what’s right for you depends on your individual needs and circumstances. 

Polynucleotide therapy is suitable for a wide range of skin concerns, including: 

• Fine lines and wrinkles 
• Sagging skin 
• Scars and stretch marks 
• Dull or uneven skin tone 
• Hair loss or thinning 

It is also broadening the applications of aesthetics in new ways, which may mean you can make improvements to your look that were previously just not available. Because polynucleotides are highly biocompatible, they are safe and effective for treating eyelid skin, for example, for which more aggressive or invasive treatments are generally non-viable. We are also finding polynucleotides appropriate for skin on the neck, which has typically been a difficult area to treat in the past. 

Our qualified medical team will be delighted to assess your unique needs and work with you to decide whether polynucleotides belong as part of your well-being and skincare regime. 

In short… 

Polynucleotides offer a natural and effective way to rejuvenate your skin and enhance your natural beauty. We’re confident that they are low-risk, highly effective and a powerful addition to our range of treatments. 

Our team is highly trained in administering polynucleotides, so please feel free to schedule a consultation at The Nimmo Clinic at our Cobham, Surrey, or Chelsea, London practices; to explore the possibilities and embark on your journey to more radiant and youthful skin.

When it comes to achieving smooth, youthful, and rejuvenated skin, you’ve got plenty of options. We spend the majority of our time with clients helping identify the right treatments for their wellbeing ambitions and skin type. 

But sometimes we can have the benefit of two treatments in one; and that’s where one of the more cutting-edge approaches, Morpheus8, is gaining a positive reputation with our clients. 

Introducing Morpheus8 

Morpheus8 is a non-surgical aesthetic treatment which uses advanced radiofrequency (RF) technology combined with micro-needling to stimulate collagen production and tighten the skin. 

It’s approved for use in a wide range of skin concerns; so whether you’re dealing with fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, or sagging skin, Morpheus8 is worth your consideration. It’s well tested too; it can be found in advanced aesthetics practices across the US and UK. And it’s also versatile: at The Nimmo Clinic, we’re using Morpheus8 to target and rejuvenate skin not just in the face but also the neck, eyes, abdomen, arms, legs, décolletage and knees. 

Why Morpheus8? 

• Skin Tightening: Morpheus8’s RF technology is proven to stimulate collagen production, resulting in firmer and tighter skin. 
• Wrinkle Reduction: Say goodbye to fine lines and wrinkles as Morpheus8 smooths and rejuvenates your skin. 
• Acne Scar Improvement: Morpheus8 can significantly reduce the appearance of acne scars, leaving you with a smoother complexion. 
• Minimal Downtime: As a non-invasive treatment, Morhpeus8 requires minimal downtime, so you can get back to your daily routine more quickly. 

• Long-Lasting Results: Morpheus8’s collagen-building effects continue to improve your skin over time, for a cumulative positive effect. After exhaustive evaluation, we now also use Cellderma’s GF5 serum (see below) to enhance your results even further. 

And as with all treatments, there are some applications for which Morpheus8 is particularly well suited. Its microneedling penetrates deeper into the skin compared to traditional microneedling devices, so it could be ideal if you’re concerned about particularly deep and stubborn lines or wrinkles.  

If you’re a person of colour, you may find it helpful to consider Morpheus8, as it’s effective for a wide range of skin types; whereas some laser treatments come with a risk of hyperpigmentation. 

Why Choose The Nimmo Clinic for Morpheus8 treatment? 

Expertise: The Nimmo Clinic is a leading aesthetics practice with a reputation built on professionalism at the cutting edge of practice.  We have years of experience, a commitment to delivering natural-looking results, and are fully trained and qualified in the latest technologies, including Morpheus8. Morpheus8 treatment requires the use of complex equipment and you should only accept care from an appropriately trained professional. 

Care that’s built around you: Your skin is unique and should be treated as such. Morpheus8 is one option among many and, with us, your journey to radiant skin will begin with a comprehensive and impartial consultation; leading to a truly personalised treatment plan – not an off-the-shelf solution! 

Tried and tested, bringing the best together: We have recently introduced the Cellderma skincare range into our surgery because it’s been clinically evaluated and created from a medically-led perspective from the outset. We have found that their GF5 serum speeds up the recovery time after Morpheus8 treatments, and – with an at-home application for 4-6 weeks after treatment – yields impressively further improved results. We always work from a health and wellbeing standpoint, and when we find solutions that complement each other, it’s a pleasure to be able to recommend them to you. 

State-of-the-Art Facilities: The Nimmo Clinic’s facilities in Cobham and Chelsea are equipped with state-of-the-art technology to provide you with the highest level of care and comfort during your Morpheus8 treatment.  

Under the skilled guidance of the experts at The Nimmo Clinic, Morpheus8 treatments are comfortable and efficient. Your care team will apply a topical numbing cream to ensure your comfort during the procedure. You may experience some redness and mild swelling after the treatment, but this typically subsides within a few days. 

To schedule a consultation where we can explain Morpheus8 alongside all your other options, contact The Nimmo Clinic today.

You could be forgiven for thinking that HydraFacial somehow involves a jet of water. If that was it, we’d invite you to have a good long shower in the comfort of your own home!  

We’re impressed with HydraFacial because it’s a safe, low-intensity and non-invasive facial treatment that still manages to pack in cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, hydration, and antioxidant protection processes; all in one session. That makes it a quick and effective way to achieve glowing, radiant skin, without downtime.  

And each of these components can be customised to truly meet your beauty needs: 

• Vortex Cleansing and HydroPeel Exfoliation: The treatment begins with a vortex-like wand which we use to cleanse the top layer of skin and remove dead cells. It’s a gentle exfoliation – similar to microdermabrasion, but less abrasive. 
• Gentle Peel Mix: We apply a peel mix of glycolic and salicylic acids to your skin. This helps us to go deeper, loosening deep pore debris and dirt which your ordinary washing regime can’t reach.  
• Vortex Extraction: The HydraFacial device uses vortex suction to painlessly remove blackheads and other impurities in your pores. 
• Vortex Fusion: In this step, we rehydrate the skin with a serum rich in antioxidants, peptides, and hyaluronic acid. This comes with all the benefits of rehydration you’d expect: not just plumping up your skin but also promoting elasticity and building your antioxidant defence against pollutants. 
• Protection and Hydration: Finally we’ll top your skincare off with moisturizers and sun protection, keeping the active serum deep in your skin for longer. 

Why choose a HydraFacial? 

Don’t hesitate to get in touch with us for personalised advice – you should always pick treatments because you have confidence that they will meet your needs. That said, in our experience, HydraFacial has some standout benefits. 

Firstly, as we’ve already hinted, each of the elements in a HydraFacial treatment can be tailored to your unique skin type and concerns. Many of our clients just want to refresh and rejuvenate – and that’s fine! But if you’re concerned about specific conditions – acne or fine lines, for example – our skilled practitioners can dial the processes up or down to target your skin with precision. 

Second, unlike many skincare treatments that require patience, HydraFacial delivers instant results. You’ll walk out of The Nimmo Clinic’s serene environment ready to face the outside world with a radiant and dewy complexion. You’ll feel the difference straight away. 

And that feeling will be good, too! HydraFacial is gentle and soothing, making it suitable for all skin types. So you won’t need to worry about the discomfort and redness associated with other more invasive or abrasive facial treatments.  

Why The Nimmo Clinic? 

For us, aesthetics is a blend of clinical professionalism and personal experience.  

In clinical terms, our team is dedicated to enhancing your natural beauty and overall wellbeing based on some fundamental principles. We recommend treatments because they boost your body’s own processes and defences: we work with your body, not against it.  

And we take a holistic approach, so that as well as looking your best, you’ll feel your best, too. Many people first get in touch because they want solutions to a specific concern – often it’s taken months of soul-searching to have the confidence to reach out to us. We recognise this, and in our consultations we’ll work together to understand your skincare needs from every angle. 

Our clinically-led approach has been recognised by the industry: we are one of the select few providers able to offer the state-of-the-art HydraFacial “wet diamond” tip. 

In terms of your experience with us – particularly for gentler, non-invasive treatments like the HydraFacial – we want your time with us to be supremely relaxing. Our two clinics in Cobham, Surrey, and Chelsea in the heart of London are both oases of luxury and comfort. Because we want all of you to feel pampered – not just your skin! 

Want to go even further? 

We’re committed to offering the best pathway to better-looking skin and we’ve invested in world class technologies to do so. We therefore also offer Hydratite – that’s HydraFacial with the addition of radio frequency penetration for improved collagen stimulation to address skin laxity. 

It’s a testament to the gentle nature of HydraFacial that add-on processes like Hydratite are viable. As always, what’s right for you depends on your specific skin type, age and other factors, so don’t make a decision before your informal, no obligation consultation. 

On your side, by your side 

Whatever path you choose, our team will be with you every step of the way. HydraFacial is an excellent first-time treatment; a transformative experience to rejuvenate your skin and boost your confidence.

We all want flawless and radiant skin, but there are no shortcuts to maintaining it: to keep a youthful appearance you need to look after your skin. That’s why we promote overall skin health and put our medical knowledge to work to do so. At The Nimmo Clinic, with two convenient centres located in Cobham, Surrey and Chelsea, London, skincare is a profession and science takes centre stage. 

Why Skincare Matters 

Above all, of course Healthy Skin is Confidence. Clear, glowing skin boosts self-confidence and self-esteem. It can make you feel more comfortable and beautiful in your own skin (literally!) – and our approach is built on promoting your wellbeing.  

But a holistic skincare regime has other benefits, too: 

• Protection and Defense: Your skin is your everyday barrier against environmental toxins, pollutants, and harmful UV rays. Proper skincare helps fortify this defence mechanism. 
• Anti-Aging: A well-thought-out skincare routine can slow down the aging process, reducing the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and age spots. 

• Prevention of Skin Issues: Regular skincare can prevent common issues like acne, dryness, and redness, helping you avoid costly and time-consuming treatments in the future.
