Polynucleotide Acne Scar Treatment
Polynucleotide acne scar treatment delivers regenerative DNA-fragment therapy into and around acne scar tissue to support skin repair and texture renewal — administered by Dr. Vincent as part of a tailored scar protocol.
About polynucleotide for scar repair
Polynucleotides are short fragments of purified DNA that, when injected into the skin, support the natural processes of tissue repair — including the regeneration of collagen, the recruitment of repair cells, and improved local micro-circulation. In the context of acne scarring, this matters because scar tissue is fundamentally disorganised tissue: collagen laid down hastily by the body during healing, lacking the structure of normal skin.
Polynucleotide therapy works alongside, not instead of, structural treatments. For deep boxcar or rolling scars, the combination of energy-based resurfacing or microneedling — which physically remodels the scar — with polynucleotide support for the surrounding tissue tends to produce more meaningful texture change than either approach alone.
Dr. Vincent treats acne scarring as a multi-modality concern. The polynucleotide component is particularly suited to clients whose scars have stabilised (no active acne in the area for at least several months) and who want to support tissue quality alongside more direct scar interventions.
Common scar types addressed
Rolling scars
Wave-like depressions where the skin appears uneven. Polynucleotides support the dermal tissue beneath, often used alongside subcision or energy-based resurfacing.
Boxcar scars
Sharper, well-defined depressions. Best addressed with structural treatments first, with polynucleotides supporting tissue quality and recovery between sessions.
Atrophic scars (general thinning)
Areas of skin where collagen has been lost during healing. Regenerative support helps rebuild dermal volume gradually.
Skin quality around scars
Scar areas often have surrounding skin that is dull, uneven in tone, or thinner than the rest. Polynucleotide therapy improves this background quality.
Post-active-acne stabilisation
For clients whose acne has settled and who are ready to begin scar treatment — polynucleotides can help calm the residual skin environment before more aggressive resurfacing.
Your treatment journey
Why choose Vincere
Acne scarring is one of the more demanding aesthetic concerns to treat well. Results require realistic expectations and an honest conversation about which scars will respond meaningfully and which need a different approach. Dr. Vincent treats scars as a multi-step protocol — not a single procedure with a single answer.
Polynucleotide therapy fits within a broader scar protocol, often used to support tissue between or alongside more direct scar interventions like microneedling or laser resurfacing. The aim is optimal outcome with minimal downtime, without compromise — meaningful improvement without long recovery windows that disrupt daily life.
The treatment is honest about its limits. Severe, very deep scarring may need surgical excision or other approaches; polynucleotides cannot fill or remove an existing scar by themselves. Dr. Vincent will tell you what is realistic at consultation — including when polynucleotide is not the right starting point and what should be addressed first.
