The MediShed By Dr Dil | Skincare Clinic In Balham London
Ameela Polynucleotide Under Eye Treatment & Skin Booster in Balham
Ameela uses polynucleotides, purified DNA fragments, to repair and regenerate skin at a cellular level. It's the go-to treatment for dark circles, fine lines, and tired-looking eyes, delivered by Dr Dil at her Balham clinic following a full medical consultation.
Dr Dil is a qualified dentist (GDC: 75115) with 27 years of clinical experience, a Platinum Save Face practitioner, and a specialist in natural-looking results. Every treatment at The Medi-Shed is medically led, precisely delivered, and tailored to you.
What are Polynucleotides (and how does Ameela use them)?
Polynucleotides are highly purified fragments of DNA used as regenerative injectables to support skin repair and quality. Ameela is a polynucleotide treatment designed for delicate areas, such as the under-eyes, that helps improve the appearance of dark circles, fine lines, and elasticity by encouraging natural collagen and elastin activity. (Treatment suitability, dosage and outcomes vary and are assessed during your face-to-face consultation with Dr Dil.)
Interest in polynucleotides has grown following mainstream coverage and expert commentary. We focus on evidence-based, medically led protocols and informed consent.
How Ameela Works
Ameela is powered by polynucleotides – natural molecules that help your skin to repair and regenerate itself. They work by:
-
Stimulating fibroblasts – encouraging new collagen and elastin production.
-
Boost hydration – attracting water to plump and refresh the skin.
-
Neutralise free radicals – reducing oxidative stress that contributes to ageing.
-
Support tissue repair – improving skin texture, elasticity, and overall health.
This combination makes Ameela one of the most advanced skin boosters available today, delivering results that continue to improve in the weeks following treatment.
Ameela's regenerative effects are supported by published clinical research. Click here to read more.
Polynucleotides vs Profhilo – what’s the difference?
-
Ameela (polynucleotides): regenerative support, targeted under-eye use, tissue quality focus
-
Profhilo (HA): deep hydration/remodelling for overall skin glow/texture
Some patients use both, based on assessment. We’ll advise the safest, most suitable plan for you.

Ameela Polynucleotide Treatment – Natural Under-Eye Brightening
Ameela can enhance the under-eye area by improving overall skin quality. Rather than adding volume, polynucleotides work to support the skin’s natural repair processes helping create a firmer, smoother, and more refreshed appearance.
You can benefit from a clearer transition under the eyes, reduced dullness, and a more rested look. Results vary from person to person, but targeted Ameela treatment can subtly brighten the face while keeping the final result soft and natural.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Am I suitable for a Polynucleotide treatment?
Ameela suits most adults concerned with fine lines, dark circles, dehydrated skin, or early signs of ageing. Suitability is confirmed at your consultation with Dr Dil.
Q: How many sessions will I need?
Most patients need 2–3 sessions spaced 2–3 weeks apart for optimal results. Top-up treatments every 6–9 months maintain the effect.
Q: How long do the results last?
Results typically last 6–12 months, depending on your skin and lifestyle.
Q: Is Ameela safe under the eyes?
Yes — Ameela is specifically formulated for delicate areas, including the under-eye. When administered by a qualified medical professional, it is a safe and well-tolerated treatment.
For a summary of the clinical evidence, see this peer-reviewed review in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences.
Q: Do polynucleotides come from fish?
Most formulations, including Ameela, are derived from highly purified salmon DNA. Any allergy history is reviewed at your consultation before treatment proceeds.
Q: What makes Ameela the superior polynucleotide option?
Ameela was the first polynucleotide product to market in the UK and is known for its high purity, potent PDRN concentration, and dedicated formulations for the eyes, face, and body.
