Under Eye Rejuvenation
Under eye rejuvenation is designed to improve the appearance and quality of the delicate skin beneath the eyes, where concerns such as fine lines, dehydration, crepiness and a tired-looking appearance can become more noticeable over time.
Treatment uses polynucleotides to support skin quality and hydration, with the product delivered either through a series of precise micro-injections or using a cannula, depending on your individual anatomy and what is considered most appropriate for the area. For clients with a fish allergy, an amino acid-based alternative may be used instead.
At Summer House Wellness, under eye treatment is approached with particular care due to the delicate anatomy of the area. Your individual skin, anatomy and concerns will be assessed as part of your consultation, with the aim of creating a subtle, refreshed appearance while maintaining the natural character of the eye area.

How do Polynucleotides work?
Rather than adding significant volume or changing the shape of the face, polynucleotides are used with the aim of improving the quality and condition of the skin over time. Research to date has shown promising improvements in areas such as skin texture, hydration and elasticity, although the evidence base is still developing and results can vary between individuals.
For the delicate under-eye area, treatment is carefully tailored to your individual anatomy and skin, with the method of delivery selected according to what is considered most appropriate for you.
Polynucleotides are injectable treatments designed to support skin rejuvenation and improve overall skin quality. They are thought to work by supporting the skin's natural repair and remodelling processes, including stimulating fibroblast activity and supporting collagen production, hydration and elasticity.
The skin beneath the eyes is particularly thin and delicate, making changes in hydration, elasticity and skin quality more noticeable. Under eye rejuvenation is designed to support the quality of this skin and improve the appearance of concerns such as fine lines, crepiness, dehydration and a tired-looking appearance.
Polynucleotide treatment aims to improve the skin itself rather than adding traditional filler volume. The goal is a gradual, subtle improvement in the texture, hydration and overall appearance of the under-eye area, helping it to look fresher and more rested while maintaining your natural features.
It is important to understand that under-eye rejuvenation is not designed to completely remove dark circles, hollowness or pronounced bags, as these concerns can have different underlying causes. Your individual anatomy and concerns will be assessed during your consultation to determine whether this treatment is appropriate for you.
What is the purpose of Under Eye Rejuvenation?
Under eye rejuvenation may be suitable for adults who are concerned with the quality and appearance of the skin beneath the eyes, including fine lines, crepiness, dehydration or a generally tired-looking appearance.
Suitability will depend on your individual anatomy, skin, medical history and the concern you are hoping to address. Because the under-eye area is particularly delicate, a careful assessment is important before treatment. Polynucleotide treatment may not be appropriate for everyone, including those with certain allergies, active infections or other medical factors that may affect treatment or healing.
If you have a fish allergy, an amino acid-based alternative may be considered instead of a fish-derived polynucleotide treatment. This will be discussed as part of your consultation.
Who May be suitable?
Your consultation is an opportunity to discuss the concerns you have around the under-eye area and what you would like to achieve. I will assess your skin quality, anatomy and the characteristics of the area, including factors such as fine lines, dehydration, crepiness and any hollowness or pigmentation.
We will discuss whether under-eye rejuvenation with polynucleotides is appropriate for you and what you can realistically expect from treatment. The method of delivery — whether precise micro-injections or a cannula — will be selected according to your individual anatomy and what is considered safest and most appropriate.
We will also discuss your medical history, allergies and any previous treatments. If you have a fish allergy, an amino acid-based alternative may be considered where appropriate.
Your consultation is also an opportunity to discuss the treatment process, expected results, possible side effects, aftercare and the recommended treatment course. There is no pressure to proceed; the aim is for you to feel informed and comfortable before making a decision..
What To Expect At The Consultation
What to expect with Skin Boosters
Treatment time: 30-45 minutesWhat to expect: Some redness, swelling, tenderness or bruising can occur following treatment. Because the skin around the eyes is particularly delicate, mild swelling or small injection-site bumps may be noticeable initially. These effects are temporary and should settle as the area recovers.Results: Results develop gradually rather than immediately. As the treatment works to support skin quality, you may notice improvements in hydration, texture, elasticity and the appearance of fine lines over the following weeks. The extent of improvement varies between individuals.Treatment Course: A course of treatments is often recommended to achieve the best result, with sessions spaced apart to allow the skin time to respond and recover. The number of treatments and any future maintenance will depend on your individual skin, the product used and your response to treatment. Your personalised treatment plan will be discussed during your consultation.
Treatment After Care
Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, steam rooms and significant heat exposure for the first 24–48 hours, as these can increase redness and swelling.
Try not to touch, rub or massage the treated area unnecessarily while the skin settles. This is particularly important around the delicate eye area.
Mild redness, swelling, tenderness and bruising can occur following treatment, particularly around the delicate under-eye area. Small bumps at the injection sites may also be visible initially and should settle as the product disperses and the skin recovers.
Use gentle skincare while the area settles and avoid potentially irritating active ingredients, exfoliants and treatments around the eyes until advised that it is appropriate to resume them.
FAQs
1
What are Polynucleotides used for?
Polynucleotides are used in aesthetic medicine to support skin rejuvenation and improve aspects of skin quality such as hydration, texture and elasticity. They are increasingly used in areas where improving skin quality, rather than adding volume, is the primary goal. Evidence is promising, although research into their effectiveness and optimal use is still developing.
How many Polynucleotides treatments will I need?
2
A course of treatments is commonly recommended, with sessions spaced apart to allow the skin time to respond and recover. The number of treatments will depend on the product used, the area being treated and your individual skin and goals. Your practitioner will recommend an appropriate treatment plan during your consultation.
Are Polynucleotides safe?
3
Polynucleotides are generally reported to be well tolerated, with temporary redness, swelling, tenderness and bruising among the more common effects following injection. However, like any injectable treatment, they are not completely without risk. The current research is encouraging, but longer-term and higher-quality studies are still needed.
Can I have Polynucleotides if I have a fish allergy?
4
Many polynucleotide products are derived from fish, so anyone with a relevant fish allergy should discuss this during their consultation before treatment. For clients with a fish allergy, an alternative amino acid-based treatment may be considered where appropriate.
